> > A Liverpool brewery was transformed this week as Atomic Wrestling returned. The independent professional wrestling company has built up a huge following in the city since it staged its very first show at Azvex Brewery last year. > > > > The electrifying sports entertainment action from the best of the North West means the show regularly sells out. Fans once again packed into the taproom on Gibraltar Row on Wednesday to watch the heroes and villains in spandex settle their scores in the most thrilling way imaginable. > > > > "Back to Formula" marked Atomic's return to Azvex after they hosted Snailmania at Futureyard in June. Atomic has now staged nine events and continues to go from strength-to-strength. One of the showrunners spoke to the ECHO last year about why the wrestling has struck a chord with fans. > > > > Chris Welsh said: "Our ethos is to present the best of the North West. A lot of local talent. It all started a few years ago; there was a training school in Maghull, Fighting Spirit Pro Wrestling, but it was closed down after the two owners joined WWE and moved to Florida. > > > > Afterwards we knew there was a lot of talent in the area that was being overlooked. There's a lot of wrestlers being flown in from overseas, but we wanted to show what we have got. The reaction we have had from fans has been really positive. It's very much a gig atmosphere."
