It's 'The Badge vs. The Bully' Tonight at Manchester High School

If you’re tired of being cooped up in the house, take a break tonight and come check out the wrestling match to end all matches, as ”The Badge” takes on “The Bully” at Manchester Township High School.

Presented by South Jersey Wrestling, “The Bully vs. The Badge” pits professional wrestler Josh Adams, “The Bully,” against Manchester Police Officer Chris Cerullo, who serves as the school resource officer, in the featured match of the night, with three other matches scheduled to take place as well.

Word has it that Officer Cerullo has been practicing for the past couple of months on his own time in order to partake in this event.

The Manchester PBA assisting with sponsorship, and Manchester High School junior Amanda Batista will be singing the national anthem.

The match is a fundraiser for the “Heroes & Cool Kids” mentoring program, which uses current and former professional athletes to help high school students mentor those in middle school. These athletes train high school students on highly successful methods of mentoring middle school students on important life skills, including sportsmanship, conflict resolution and positive lifestyle choices, highlighting drug, alcohol and tobacco prevention.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the matches in the high school gymnasium begin at 7:30 p.m. General admission is $10, with ringside seating going for $15.
