WHAT IS WRESTLEFEST TORONTO

Inspired by the annual event held in New York, Wrestlefest Toronto is a social gathering of people interested in wrestling - from submission, to pro, to freestyle, to boxing.

Chat about your favourite wrestlers or wrestling matches, trade wrestling gear, watch wrestling, and wrestle with guys who have similar interests.

While some social events are planned by individual venues and member of the wrestling community, there's no formal format to the event. Most of us attending are guys who are turned by or have an interest in wrestling, and want to meet others who feel the same way. While the majority of participants are gay and bisexual males, everyone is welcome.
