Presented by Orange Crush and co-produced by Jonathan Gresham, the first edition is headlined by SUPERFIGHT: Jonathan Gresham vs. Fuminori Abe, with appearances from Joey Janela, Effy, LaBron Kozone, Mance Warner, Steph de Lander, Man Like Dereiss, Deonna Purrazzo, “Hot Sauce” Tracy Williams, Mad Dog Connelly, and more.

The concept treats wrestling as a live cultural system: athletic, theatrical, visual, and music-connected. Each edition is co-curated by an active wrestler, with art, film, photography, apparel, and design folded into the wider event world.
