On Saturday, June 14, 2025, Father’s Day weekend, for the eighth year in a row, the annual summer pro wrestling family friendly fundraiser event for the GS Chapter of the AIA continues at The Blue Room in Statesboro: GATAMANIA!
This year’s GATAMANIA is “Where the Woman Wrestler Shines,” with four of the eight scheduled matches featuring women. This includes the impressive Main Event battle between APW’s Women’s champion Hyena Hera putting her title on the line against the #1 Contender, Angelica Risk. You do not want to miss this event!
The Blue Room will be offering food, soft drinks, and adult beverage specials all night long. Tickets are only $5, and they will be available at the door the day of the event starting at 6:15pm. Cash, Cash App, and Venmo will be accepted.
Organizers have once again kept the ticket prices low so that you can treat yourself and your family and friends to The Blue Room’s famous wings or chicken fingers and their vast selection of adult beverages, as well as wrestler t-shirts, photos, and other merchandise. Dads, this is a great Father’s Day weekend activity to spend with your son and/or daughter, so bring the entire family!
The 2+ hour event will be held inside the air-conditioned Blue Room. We recommend that you get there early as the doors will open at 6:30pm. A special “Meet and Greet” with the wrestlers begins at that time on the outside patio. At this “Meet and Greet,” you will be able to talk to the wrestlers, take pictures, buy their merchandise, and have a lot more family fun!
Then starting at 6:40pm, the Master of Ceremonies, CUJO, will kick-off the show and introduce APW’s Ring Announcer, Grice Connect’s own Blake “The Snake” Williams. The pre-event Emerald Match between AM Pain and BK Bennet will start promptly at 6:45, and it will no doubt be a high-flying contest!
The official bell time for GATAMANIA will be at 7:00pm. Bring all your signs and get ready to boo and cheer, as the event with be filmed for YouTube viewing by GS’s own Danny “HC” Waugh and “Dr.” Ben Powell.
