Pandemonium with a purpose at OLG

The Our Lady of Grace School auditorium in Howard Beach transformed into a willful wrestling ring last Saturday, with around 200 enthusiastic residents eagerly attending to witness East Coast Professional Wrestling. It was more than just body slams — it was pandemonium with a purpose, as proceeds were donated to the church.

First row: Bobby C. struts the ring and lectures the kids about being good, left; The Illustrated Man drops on Dynamic Drew Manston; Nunzio collapses on the ropes as the opposing team’s manager, Kurt Klein, rubs it in.

Second row: A three-way match goes topsy- turvy with The Illustrated Man, Timid Tamir Gibbs and Dynamic Drew, left; and KJ Evans takes on Wild Thing Ziggy.

Third row: The referee is shocked by the move Lee Jackson puts on Chris Angel, left; kids pay close attention to the exciting matches; and Chris Angel gets high fives from kids after winning his match.

Bottom row: Father Krayvon, a fake priest, celebrates the win by his wrestler, Mason Carnage, left; and, for these kids, cotton candy was the tension-reliever of choice.
