ROCKFORD — Premier Pro Wrestling, a training school and sports entertainment promotion run out of Rockford, holds weekly showcases each Saturday at its facility at 3839 Broadway.

Randy Ricci, who runs the school and the promotion, welcomed us behind the scenes last week to see the athletes train. We then followed the action to a Saturday show to see how the work paid off in the ring in front of an audience.

Premier Pro Wrestling holds shows at 7 p.m. each Saturday at 3839 Broadway. General admission tickets are $12 ($15 for premium seating). Kids 12 and younger enter for $7. You can book tickets HERE.
