The Wrestler Screening/Wrestling Themed Event in NYC

[Cap]

NYC Folks,

 

A buddy of mine is throwing a celebration of '80s wrestling in Manhattan's Chinatown on 11/13. There will be screenings of old school matches and promos leading up to a feature presentation of The Wrestler on the big screen. $15 buys admission to the films, beers, and the chance to win wrestling and local stuff in a raffle. As a wrestling fan this event sounds really fun. It should have stuff to appeal to you regardless of your level of investment in wrestling. The details and their official write-up below. If you have any specific questions you can send me a message and I will do what I can to get your answers.

Winter is coming, and CUI is happy to warm your heart with a big screen revival on one of our favorite contemporary dramas, Darren Aronofsky's The Wrestler. Shown for the first time in repertory, this is a wide-screen bodyslam to the system, shot on location in New Jersey in stark hand-held Super 16mm and boasting a career-best, Hail Mary performance from Mickey Rourke. We are proud to partner with NYC legends DCTV and present the film in their gorgeous screening facilities located in a landmarked firehouse in Chinatown. The night begins at 7pm with a cocktail hour featuring a super-cut of classic wrestling moments from the 70s to the 90s, culminating in a main-event match before the film. Per the usual, we will have a raffle featuring sweet stuff from local vendors. A keg will be tapped, and drinks are included with your ticket.

That's awesome! I used to live in NYC and plan on moving back. Unforutnately I'd be a few months late for this. Hope everyone that goes has fun though!
