Manchester musician Shotty Horroh is the co-owner of a brand new professional wrestling company, which will have its first ever show this weekend. Sovereign Pro Wrestling will launch with its 'First Reign' show at the 500-capacity Trinity Sports Centre in Hulme on Saturday (October 1).
Shotty, whose real name is Adam Rooney, owns the promotion alongside London-based Ryan Skillit and Zubie Baig, but said that their debut event "had to" be in Manchester. He told the Manchester Evening News : " When you first envision this thing, you want certain people there and you want it a certain way.
"I know the city and I know so many promoters. We’ll be sticking in Manchester for a good few shows, at least the first four or five, we want to establish ourselves. With the rich history and heritage in Manchester of professional wrestling, it’s just a really great place to do something like this."
