Doors open at 5:00 p.m. with a bell time set for 6:00 p.m. Tickets are $20 for front row, $15 for second row and $12 for general admission. All tickets increase $3 at the door.

Rush is one of wrestling’s most exciting lightweight wrestlers. He is most famous for winning ROH’s 2016 Top Prospect Tournament. He’s also wrestled for notable independent promotions such as Combat Zone Wrestling (CZW) and Evolve.

DJ Zema Ion (a.k.a. DJZ) is a two-time TNA Impact Wrestling X-Division Champion. He is set to face North Tonawanda’s high flying sensation Kevin Bennett, who is fresh off a victory against independent wrestling star J.T. Dunn at the last event.
