The 901 Wrestling promotion has a new home: Minglewood Hall at 1955 Madison Avenue.
“We’re going to be moving to Sundays monthly at Minglewood starting September 22nd,” says Kevin Cerrito, 901 Wrestling host. Anthony Sain is his commentary partner. Both will be back at the helm at the new location.
And the shows, which will be held in Minglewood’s main room, will be from 5 to 7 p.m. instead of at a later time as in the past, Cerrito says.
One free entry for kids will be available with each purchase of a general admission ticket to the matches.
Tickets will go on sale at 9:01 a.m on 901 day, September 1st, at 901wrestling.com.
Fans can catch up on full shows, including the matches and interviews, by going to youtube.com/901wrestling.
According to info from Cerrito, “Promoter Tommy Jax took over a Holly Springs, Mississippi-based wrestling promotion in 2017 with a group of underutilized talent that was mostly based out of Memphis. In 2018, the promotion moved their shows to Rec Room on Broad Avenue in Memphis and it was rebranded to 901 Wrestling in 2019. Covid ended the Rec Room era, and when 901 Wrestling returned in 2021 its new home was Black Lodge until they closed in August 2024.”
According to Jax, “With 901 Wrestling moving to Minglewood Hall, we all have the opportunity to present the biggest local wrestling shows this city has seen in over a decade. This brings us closer to reaching our goal of bringing wrestling back as a mainstay in Memphis once again. 901 Wrestling is not just putting on wrestling shows. We’re trying to make sure we keep something here that is inherently in our city’s DNA. Like barbecue, basketball, and music, wrestling is part of who we are as Memphians.”
And, as Cerrito says, “It’s going to be a new era. We’re really looking forward to it.”
