Canadian Wrestling Elite tour making stops in Okanagan

PENTICTON – It’s being billed as the biggest professional wrestling tour in Canadian history, and it's coming to three Okanagan venues.

Canadian Wrestling Elite has announced what it calls a historic tour, headlined by masked Mexican wrestler Lucha Libre Legend Psicosis. The 38 day 10th anniversary tour will be making 38 stops including Penticton, Kelowna and Vernon.

Psicosis is a Mexican legend who has broken barriers for all Mexican performers through his matches with former WWE Champion Rey Mystery, still considered some of the most groundbreaking and innovative of all time, according to a Wrestling Elite media release.

The tour stops in Vernon on April 8, Penticton on April 9 and Kelowna on April 11.

Tour stars include Ring of Honour Champions "The Horror King" Vinny Marsiglia and "Wild Horse" TK O’Ryan.

Women’s wrestling will also be well represented in the tour with six female performers.

Seven countries are represented with tour participants from Canada, the United States, Mexico, Germany, Belgium, Austria and Spain.
