I don’t have enough good things to say about these guys.

I respect the hell out of anyone who gets off their butt and puts on a show. For independent wrestlers who are putting their bodies on the line, you can triple that respect. Somehow, Rampage Wrestling takes that respect and elevates it even higher.

The group has been entertaining folks across West Texas and beyond for more than 10 years. It’s been so long that I don’t even remember how we first met. All I know is that they’ve brought us incredible shows and unforgettable personalities like Mack The Franchise, Erik Grason, Luchador Americano, Jester, The Sharpes, Axl Savage, and the late, great Doldrum Pow.

Rampage Wrestling Got Unhinged At Nightmare

Through the years, we booked Rampage Wrestling to entertain the lines at Nightmare On 19th Street. It was the one event of the year when they were not completely family-friendly. In fact, when they came to Nightmare, they got a little unhinged.

Doldrum Pow won our first hardcore championship by literally busting the belt out of its box. He was eventually laid to rest with that belt, and that is an honor that will never be matched.

Every hardcore match after that carried his name, and the wrestlers always delivered. We’re talking barbed wire, weed eaters, spikes to the head, thumbtacks, and lots and lots of additional thumbtacks.

It was wild, brutal, memorable, and exactly what you hoped it would be.

One Last Night For Rampage Wrestling

Some of these wrestlers will continue their careers by joining other promotions, but the spirit of Rampage Wrestling is about to sail off into the sunset.

We encourage you to come support the wrestlers, thank the crew, and say goodbye one last time on Saturday, September 26.

That date may sound familiar because it is also opening night and the return of the Dark Market at Nightmare On 19th Street.

We’re totally fine if you only want to  say goodbye to Rampage and visit the haunted attractions another night. Tickets for the wrestling event are just $10, with VIP tickets available for $20.

You can find out more here.

Long live the spirit of Rampage Wrestling.
