John “the Grape Crusher” Maloney, has a bone to pick with “Platinum” Preston Perry, and that bone will be picked clean on Friday, May 29, when Maloney, in a tag team with Brutus “the Barber” Beefcake, takes on Perry and another wrestler, Sexy Eddy, in the ring. Two dollars from every ticket sold from the event will be donated to the Gerry Lowe Memorial Foundation.
According to Maloney, who fought Perry recently in Hawkesbury, the wrestling star spoke poorly of Smiths Falls, triggering the challenge to a fight.
“Perry has been dissing our town,” Maloney explained, “I wasn’t planning on getting back in the ring but I was forced. Those boys are going home with a haircut.”
Maloney will join two other Smiths Falls wrestlers, local police officer, Mike “Knine” Gallagher, who will be taking on Patrick Shenzy Naud, and another Smiths Falls native, Bryan Briggs, who will also be taking on a match.
In preparation for the event, Gallagher and Maloney have been training in Ottawa at Access MMA for roughly three to four hours a week for the past several months. This event will be Gallagher’s wrestling debut, and his first match in his hometown of Smiths Falls.
“I’ve always had visions of being the next Ultimate Warrior,” Gallagher said, “He (Shenzy) doesn’t stand much of a chance.”
The May 29th wrestling event will also feature a Great Northwest Championship Match between Devon “Hannibal” Nicholson (the Canadian Champion) and former Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Star, Alex Silva. A Great Northwest Women’s Championship match will also feature Malicia with Dark Cash versus Eve.
The 2015 event is the latest in an annual series of wrestling events featured in Smiths Falls. Devon Nicholson, owner of Great North Wrestling, who will be putting on the event at the Smiths Falls Community Centre, said this will be the company’s fourth visit to Smiths Falls since 2011.
“Every time we’ve been there so far we’ve had a bigger and very enthusiastic crowd, we really enjoy coming there and definitely plan to keep making it a yearly stop for the company,” Nicholson explained, adding that this year’s event features three Smiths Falls’ wrestlers.
“There’s getting to be more local content as the years go on,” Nicholson said.
According to Nicholson, the 2014 event held at the community centre saw approximately 800 people, making it an ideal event for a fundraiser for the Gerry Lowe Memorial Foundation.
“In the smaller towns we like to work with a local charity and this is a pretty good cause,” Nicholson said.
Wrestlers participating in the event will be coming from as far away as Florida, New York, Toronto and Ottawa. The star of the event, WWE wrestler, Brutus “the Barber” Beefcake, has partnered with Hulk Hogan in past fights and will travel to the event from Tampa.
Nicholson, who wrestles under the name “Hannibal,” will be defending the Canadian Championship title against Alex Silva. Nicholson said that he won the Canadian Championship title while fighting in Smiths Falls in 2014.
Tickets for the event are available at The Rideau Winery and the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre, or online at www.ticketweb.ca, under the event name of “Great North Wrestling.” Tickets are $15 for General Admission, $20 Ringside, and $25 Gold Ringside. Two dollars from every ticket will go to the Gerry Lowe Memorial Foundation.
