Tundra launches regular pro-wrestling nights in Tampere, opening with 'Friday the Thirteenth' on 13 November

Tampere will host regular pro-wrestling nights, beginning with Tundra's "Friday the Thirteenth" event at Nekalab on November 13, Tamperelainen reports.

The new Tundra promotion aims to make theatrical, pre-planned show wrestling a recurring local attraction and raise the sport's profile in Pirkanmaa. Its September opener drew 151 ticket buyers. The next card, produced by Live-action Entertainment Ltd, starts at 19:00 at Nekalan cultural centre Nekalab.

Promoter Samu Soini puts it this way: "Wrestlers and the audience create the event and its atmosphere together. Show wrestling is an exceptional form of performing art in which the viewer actually gets to influence the course of events," he says.

Friday's main event is a tag-team clash. Shemeikka and Viktor Tykki will face Dylan Broda and Stark Adder, following an unresolved encounter between Shemeikka and Broda in September.

The undercard includes a six-person match pitting heroes Stella, Hemppa and Alfa against monsters Koura, Reptilio and Jessica Love.

The family-friendly show has no formal age limit, though organisers recommend a minimum age of seven.

Tundra plans to secure a dedicated training hall. It intends to begin training local performers in autumn 2027 to build a sustainable Tampere wrestling community.
