Bethany Town Hall to host massive mêlée this weekend

There will be DRAMA in Bethany Town Hall on Saturday night! No, no, not a special meeting of Planning and Zoning; this promises to be much more entertaining. No one will doze off during the LIVE PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING to benefit the Bethany Park and Recreation Department.

According to Chris Cofrancesco of Bethany, the event will be everything you'd expect from a WWE pro wrestling match, only in a smaller venue. Chris, who wrestles under the name Chris Battle along with his brother Ant Battle (they often wrestle as a tag team called The Archangels) has been in the business for five years.

"I was a big wrestling fan while growing up," Cofrancesco said, "so I went to school and trained with Paul Roma for about a year before I had my first match."

His brother Anthony signed up, as well, and they were joined by Brian Anthony, who will appear on Saturday night with the Battle brothers.

"I play a good guy," Cofrancesco said, then added in a more ominous tone, "Brian is not such a good guy."

Brace yourself for all the music, drama and smack-talking of the big matches and come prepared to cheer some hometown heroes. Also featured on the card are Joey Bricco, AJ Cruise, Dan DeMan, Lukas Sharp, Vicious V with Ruby Sky, Bobby Ocean, Doug Summers, Nocturne, Zack Statik, Andy Sweet, J-Busta and more.
