A professional wrestling show featuring an internationally recognised North East star is set to entertain fans when it comes to the North East this month.
The World Wide Wrestling League (W3L) returns to the region with its All Thriller event at Dunston Activity Centre on Friday, October 16.
Hartlepool’s Adam ‘Shreddy’ Foster, a Mr Britain and NABBA World Champion, headlines the card after recent appearances for American promotions TNA Wrestling and AEW.

W3L promoter Mike Musgrave said: "We are excited to be presenting him to the Gateshead wrestling fans at such an exciting time in his career."
Foster will face 300lb Canadian wrestler Tim Strange in a match that fans can decide will use a bull rope or a cowbell on a pole.
The vote will decide which weapon can be retrieved and used during the bout.

W3L bills its shows as family-friendly, high-energy entertainment.
A W3L spokesperson said: "A total of six bouts will take place at the event which promises non-stop action that will have families in attendance on the edge of their seats."
Hooked On Wrestling TV will film the show for broadcast, adding another interactive element for fans.
Foster returns to the ring just weeks before competing for the NABBA Universe Championship in Gateshead.
W3L tours towns across the UK and has featured former WWE stars and talent seen on the WWE Network and other major platforms.
