BUMBERMANIA! 2024

Back for Round 2! Grit City Wrestling once again hosted the PNW's best talent for a celebration of local wrestling at the historic Bumbershoot Arts and Music Festival.

Suplexes Under the Space Needle

Over the course of two-days and four shows, BUMBERMANIA! hosted 28 matches with 60+ wrestlers from all over the PNW.

A tournament was held to crown the first ever BUMBERMANIA! Champion.

Eight Epic Dream Matches took place!

And many Grit City Wrestling students had their very first match right there in Seattle Center!

None of this is possible without the support of Bumbershoot and the PNW wrestling community.

THANK YOU to our incredible photographers for capturing the magic: Jamie Rand Imaging, Franny Crocker, Christopher Hong, and a few from @that_guy_murphy, Levi Erdman, & Lance Mercer
