00:00It's wrestling with a new twist, a Trini twist.
00:03Come March 28th, local wrestlers will enter the ring at the Twin Island Wrestling Entertainment Competition.
00:09Organiser of the tournament, Tony Cervantes, explains.
00:13Well, Twilina Wrestling encapsulates what the promotion is about.
00:17It is a locally owned promotion. It is an authentic Trinbegonian experience.
00:24I am proud to say that my wrestling school, which is the 868 Wrestling Academy,
00:30has recently upgraded its facility to a 1,600-square-foot warehouse,
00:35the first of its kind in Trinidad and Tobago wrestling.
00:39That is the standard of commitment we have to grow in the sport locally at Twin Island Wrestling.
00:44Local MMA President Jason Fraser has supported the idea behind the initiative.
00:48They've indicated it's not an attempt to replicate the WWE,
00:51but it's meant to reflect a local flavor of wrestling.
00:56Okay, first of all, what are you wearing?
00:59I mean, seriously, you know you were coming here today and you put on that dress?
01:04Crazy.
01:05Anyway, my name is Chelsea Valentine,
01:07and on March 28th, I'm going to be showing up to show you all what I'm really about.
01:14You could say all what you want, but I'm the wrestler and you are the ball.
01:18Pong for pong, grip by grip, right?
01:23I'm the most dominant and strong is female we have here, right?
01:31And even if the males step up to me,
01:37let me just say, these can do the work.
01:42And yes, the cross door comes with the territory.
01:46Tony, I have a problem, right?
01:47First things first, you bring my hair, the place hot with the AC.
01:54As I'm analog, sorry Tony, right?
01:57Look at this, handcrafted, just for me.
02:02Look at this, this watch.
02:03It's probably worth two times this entire place, right?
02:07You want a little change to play, you see?
02:09Hold up, hold up, hold up.
02:11You're wasting time talking about all your money, your rich, your this, your that.
02:15Then you want to bring up my father into this?
02:16My father ain't nothing to do with this, brother.
02:18This has to do between me and you.
02:20Cervantes is expected to feature in the main event against the Jelani Richardson.
02:24General admission is priced at $150.
