🌧😥 ZOWA Live Pro Wrestling show cancelled for Sunday April 30th. Unfortunately, Due to forecasted temps and rain on Sunday... the "Chaos in The Courtyards" LIVE Pro Wrestling portion of our MultiCon has been cancelled. We are very sad that Mother Nature is being a "heel". But we'll get her in a headlock and make her submit and we'll revisit the outdoor live Wrestling concept again next year. The rest of the CastleChaos MultiCon 2023 will go on rain or shine. Including meet & greet with legendary pro wrestler al snow. Whether we need to crank the heat or open windows... the inside of the castle will be ready for you all!!!
