Nation Extreme Wrestling (NEW) is bringing some of the country's aspiring professionals to the Terry Fox Theatre (1260 Riverwood Gate) — attached to Terry Fox Secondary School — to rattle and excite local fans of the sport.
It's the seventh show on the league's agenda since making its debut in Richmond in September last year.
There are nine matches on the bill in Port Coquitlam and will enter the ring on May 28, 2022.

Port Coquitlam is also set to be the first city on NEW's circuit to have a tailgate celebration party prior to the competitions
A barbecue is scheduled to start at 4 p.m., three hours before the first bell at 7 p.m.
In the event's description, NEW says it welcomes all ages to its shows.
