St. Philip's Anglican Church hosted its first post-service match on Sunday, hoping to attract new members with a more hip program that included a two-match show with six local wrestlers, most of them Christians.
The colourfully clad wrestlers presented a WWE-style program complete with smackdowns and headlocks.
Many in the congregation of about 40 regular members find wrestling a natural fit with religion because of the theme of good versus evil.
Yet when I read it was "Christian-themed wrestling matches" I was hoping for something along the lines of MTV's Celebrity Deathmatch with pairings of biblical characters or even modern day Christians. Next up Jerry Falwell vs. Pat Robertson. I bet more people would come to see that then a bunch of WWE style wrestlers who are mostly Christians!
