Let's get ready to rumble! A one-off American wrestling event could mark the return of regular wrestling shows to Chelmsford.
Former star of the World Wrestling Federation Jake "The Snake" Roberts will be making a guest appearance in the first show of its kind to be staged in the county town for nearly a year.
One of the organisers, Derek Williams, is hoping the event will mean the comeback of a regular show in the town.
Mr Williams said: "I want wrestling to return to Chelmsford, it's got a family entertainment value."
He is retiring due to injury but said promoting wrestling and organising matches could be in the pipeline for him.
The Chelmsford show takes place at the Riverside Ice and Leisure Centre on January 31. Call 01245 615050 for tickets
