Pro Wrestling comes to Strawberry Festival

Saturday, June 18 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. Asbery Field

Amid the shopping and entertainment at Asbury Field during Strawberry Festival, a battle royal will take place, which is one of the matches taking place when Combat Pro Wrestling comes to the forefront.

Combat Pro Wrestling will hold two events June 18 during the Market at Asbury Field. The first show begins at 1 p.m. and the second at 4 p.m.

“It’s family friendly and comedy oriented,” said Scott Dutton, who helps promote Combat Pro Wrestling events. “Our guys are very well known for being goofballs.”

In addition to the battle royal, where a group of wrestlers start in the ring and get eliminated when they’re tossed over the top rope, Jack the Snack, whose enemy is veggies, will also make an appearance.

A cruiserweight title match is scheduled along with an intergender match and a family championship match. The show will also include a grappling match, which is similar to Greco-Roman wrestling, Dutton said.

“We’re just a bunch of people that love pro-wrestling,” Dutton, who competes as SEDS and has been wrestling for 27 years, said. An associate group, New Generation Wrestling, will have a match during the event as well.

Dutton encourages spectators to stop by and say “hi” to wrestlers and have pictures taken with them.

The Strawberry Festival marks the first time since before start of the pandemic that Combat Pro Wrestling organized an event. He said he is looking for venues for future matches.

Combat Pro Wrestling will be featuring a variety of matches at Asbery Field on Saturday, June 18, at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m.
