Big-time wrestlers from Congo Democratic Republic, Congo Brazzaville, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Angola and Cameroon are already in town, with talk of how they plan to  emerge champion and cart home the cash prize of $20, 000.

Coordinator of the tournament, which has received the blessing of Nigeria Pro Wrestling Federation, Prrince Hammed Olanrewaju Mohammed said that the body was ready for a big splash of wrestling action that will run through the nigh, with heart-thumping slug-fests.

“This edition will be special because the Governor himself has promised that he would personally come to watch the final on Sunday at Rowe Park, while majority of the chairmen and chairperson of local governments and local council development areas have given us the assurance that they will storm the venue to watch the best of professional wrestling at the 3rd BRF Wrestlemania,” he said.
