Details on The Wrestler movie show taping on 2/1 in New Jersey

Posted: Jan 16th 2008 By: mikeiles

Afa The Wild Samoan's WXW Wrestling and Darren Aronofsky's "The Wrestler" proudly present an exclusive live event/movie shoot on Friday, February 1st at 6:30pm at the Pioneer Club in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ at 6:30 PM.

Admission is free for this one-of-a-kind engagement, and all who attend will have the opportunity to be in the movie!

"The Wrestler" is a highly-anticipated film starring acclaimed actor MICKEY ROURKE (9 1/2 Weeks, Sin City) as a past-his-prime pro wrestler looking for a comeback. Gritty and intense, the film is expected to showcase the wrestling business more realistically than any movie before it. Helmed by Darren Aronofsky (The Fountain, Requiem For A Dream and PI ) the film has already received a great deal of hype and will certainly be a huge hit among wrestling fans and movie enthusiasts alike.

The show will be headlined by Mickey Rourke in action for the movie. Also slatted for the show will be the WXW return of the New Jersey Kliq. Tommy Fierro, the leader of the New Jersey Kliq, makes his return to WXW for the first time in seven years with Judas Young and Danny Inferno. The trio claimed that they were the only movie stars in New Jersey and made a deal to make their returns at this event.

Fierro proclaimed that the New Jersey Kliq is going to be cooler and more hip than DX and the NWO. This will mark Danny Inferno's first match back in New Jersey in over two years. Inferno had been under contract to WWE prior to that, with him having long stays in both OVW and Deep South Wrestling. Fierro says that Danny Inferno will now be known as "The King of New Jersey." Judas Young will debut as "The Real Independent World Champion." Fierro says that Judas is the best worker on the Independents and has purchased him his own title to prove it.

What will the New Jersey Kliq have in store for WXW come February 1st? They will be in action against the team of Notorious Inc. The King of New Jersey? The Real Independent World Champion? We have a feeling that things are about to heat up when the New Jersey Kliq makes their return to WXW!

Other matches signed for the show/movie filming include: L.A. Smooth vs. Sugaa, Kevin Matthews vs. DJ Hyde, Alexa Thatcher vs. Mercedes, Team X-Treme vs. Rage & Billy Dream, and Sabian vs. TDS.
