5 Star Wrestling to crown first “Tap or Snap” champion in Liverpool

Britain is recognised the world over as the home of submission-style wrestling and Liverpool will be the home of the first crowning of the Tap or Snap champion.

Although the popularity of ‘catch as catch can’ wrestling later spread to other parts of the globe and infused itself into the professional game we know and love today, its roots are firmly in the North West of England.

So 5 Star Wrestling have decided that the Echo Arena in Liverpool is the perfect place to launch our brand new Submission Division – where participants will fight to make their opponents tap…or snap.

The first ever 5 Star Wrestling Tap or Snap Champion will be crowned when 5 Star Wrestling’s weekly TV series debuts LIVE on FreeSports on Thursday night, February 1 as five of the best grapplers in the world today square off in a 5 Star Submission Elimination Match.

Eliminations will only occur when a wrestler submits…taps out…gives up…quits. And only one of the five men will be left standing at the end as the first ever 5 Star Wrestling Tap or Snap Champion.

See the first ever 5 Star Wrestling Tap or Snap Champion crowned in a 5 Star Submission Elimination Match and the new title belt unveiled LIVE when 5 Star Wrestling: LIVE on FreeSports debuts its weekly TV series at the Liverpool Echo Arena on Thursday night, February 1 from 7pm to 10pm.
