IRON MOUNTAIN -- WWE-style wrestling is coming to the C & R Bar in Niagara, Wisconsin on Saturday.

Most of the wrestlers are from around the U.P. area who have been lifelong wrestling fans.

It's called the U.P.W.  They love to entertain the crowd, and they say there's something for everyone--comedy, action, and just plain old wrestling.

“Just growing up as a kid.  I'd watch wrestling as a kid a lot and I kind of never grew out of it,” said Brian “Skyline” Skibo.  “By the time I turned 25, I did the whole college try, as you say, and just kind of thought I can do that.  So I went and did it."

Also competing will be “Irish” Mickey Doyle from Fence, Wisconsin.  He's been wrestling for 42 years.

The event starts at 6 p.m.
