Last night Beverwijk was able to meet the superheroes of American show wrestling. Poppodium Toos transformed into a battleground for this theatrical spectacle. According to organizer Rico Meijer, this was just a taste of what is to come. “My mission is to make wrestling great in the Netherlands.”
American show wrestling produced illustrious names such as Hulk Hogan, The Rock and ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin. This spectacle has now also gained a foothold in Europe. It is a spectacle in which both men and women participate, which is why the so-called SheHulk came to Beverwijk.

“It is an ancient story about evil versus good with real heroes, villains, a good dose of drama topped off with impressive stunt work,” Meijer explains. “You are watching a live soap where things happen, where people’s psyche is played with. We really take people on a roller coaster ride.”
Meijer hopes to raise awareness of the sport. “I want it to become normal that you see this at a fair. It all seems fake, but GTST is not real either. And how many people watch it every evening? People need theater and drama!”
