Saturday Photos: Fog City Wrestling at DNA Lounge
(Photos by Mekuria Getinet)
Dominick Jerry and Steve Hemenway, founders of Fog City Wrestling, understand the appeal of a good storyline. Their indie professional wrestling matches hark back to the heyday of the performance sport, when dramatic feuds worked the crowd into a lather. In fact Jerry, in a video on Fog City’s Web site, describes the bouts as throwbacks to “old-school wrestling, mixed with comic book sensibilities.” Creative costumes and taunts are de rigueur: Characters like the Chicano Flame, who flaunts a classic lucha libre wrestling mask and cape, or leather-coated Vennis Demarco, who plays up his Sicilian “connections,” are always a treat. Saturday night’s main event pit the 400-plus-pound Alofa the Samoan Tank against former WWE Hardcore Champion Raven, a 245-pound misanthropic nihilist. --Traci Vogel
