WWE no longer tours cities like Rockford, but local fans can still see live professional wrestling thanks to weekly Premier Pro Wrestling shows and events like Battle of Byron.
The mats were buzzing this weekend as local wrestlers took to the tournaments—some shining bright, others learning tough lessons in the heat of competition.
Mark your calendars, because the mats are heating up at the Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa Jaguar Wrestling Tournament this January. Who's ready to see some serious competition?
