Wrestling fans in the Lethbridge area will see a local favourite return in August.

On Tuesday, July 23, 2024, the Lethbridge & District Exhibition (LDE) announced that Pure Power Wrestling (PPW) will be bringing its Hot Summer Night event to Whoop-Up Days 2024.

This year marks the second consecutive year PPW has held an event at the summer festival. Hot Summer Night will be a star-studded eight-man tag team elimination match as The Stud Stable, featuring “Mr. Beefy Goodness” Vance Nevada, “The God of Thunder” Andy Anderson, and The Brand , clash with Team Copeland, featuring Travis “The Heat” Copeland, and three partners of his choosing.

Paul Kingsmith, Director of Community Development at LDE says, “Pro wrestling at Lethbridge & District Exhibition is a tradition that dates back decades and we’re so excited that Pure Power Wrestling has chosen to write a new chapter in this legacy at Whoop-Up Days. PPW puts on a high-energy, family-friendly, knock-‘em-down, drag-‘em-out show that isn’t to be missed. And with all PPW tickets including admission to Whoop-Up Days, it’s a value that can’t be beaten.”

In addition to Hot Summer Night, Whoop-Up Days will also see the PPW Western Canadian Championship held during the festival, with Tony Machete challenging “Sexy Cowboy” Bryn Watts.
