Episode 45: The Traitors

Fight Factory Pro Wrestling runs a regular live wrestling series at their venue on Ossory Road, and Episode 45 is titled The Traitors. BYOB, over 18s, Friday night: it’s a very specific kind of evening and it knows exactly what it is.

Fight Factory is Dublin’s dedicated pro wrestling venue, which means the production is built for it, the roster is trained for it, and the crowd knows the format. Pro wrestling in a dedicated venue with a regular running story is a different experience from a one-off event: characters have history, storylines have been building, and the episode format means every show pays off something that came before.

What to expect

7pm Bank Holiday Friday at Ossory Road Industrial Park. Bring your own beer, over 18s only. The BYOB format changes the atmosphere considerably from a standard ticketed show: people are more comfortable, more vocal, and more invested in what’s happening in the ring.

The Traitors angle suggests a storyline payoff that regular watchers of the series will be anticipating. New attendees can pick up the thread quickly; the Eventbrite page will have any catch-up information.

Getting there

Ossory Road is in the East Wall/North Strand area of Dublin, accessible by Dublin Bus (routes 53 and 130). Tickets on Eventbrite.
