CELTIC DUNGEON OPENS SATURDAY

At 4:43pm Wednesday afternoon, Celtic Pro Wrestling signed a contract to secure the new Celtic Dungeon training facility.

The facility is located on the red Luas line at the Blackhorse station in Inchicore. The Luas journey from O’Connell Street to the Celtic Dungeon is just fifteen minutes, and it is also easily accessible by foot and by car (M50). Its proximity to Heuston Station (11 minutes via Luas) ensures that fans from all over Ireland have the chance to come and be a part of the new camp.

“We’re very excited about the facility,” explained CPW owner Blake Norton, who has been in and out of meetings all week working to finalize the deal. “I can’t think of a better location. We’re accessible to fans from all over Dublin. When you’re in the ring there’s a great vibe. It’s everything we were looking for.”

DIVING IN

“We wanted to spend a couple of weeks developing the premesis before opening it” explains CPW Head of Media Paul Gernon, who originally located the building. “But we’re going ahead and opening this Saturday, because there’s such a phenomenal demand from people wanting to get started. The phone is ringing off the hook, and Celtic Pro Wrestling is going to deliver.”

The Celtic Dungeon succeeds in continuing the tradition of profound unconventionality set by the legendary original, with its quirky, intimate layout. The ring is assembled just inside the doorway of the building, with the seating and bathroom facilities at the back. Each and every person who enters the building must cross the threshold of the wrestling ring to do so. In the immortal words of Mick Foley, “now that’s hardcore!”

CELTIC FRAME OF MIND

“The original Dungeon in Calgary – a small basement with four walls, a low roof and a concrete floor – proved that becoming a great wrestler has nothing to do with the facility itself. It has to do with your heart, and the aptitude of your trainers. I didn’t want something too commercial, impersonal and cold. Where we are is just right for the Celtic wrestling family.

“It’s going to take a couple of weeks to adjust the ring so that high-flyers have the head height to do their thing. But the heart of professional wrestling training is on the mat, and it’s incredibly fitting that it’s on the mat that training is going to begin this Saturday. I’d swear Stu himself designed the room to force us to put in the work on our technique before guys start bouncing off the rafters. We’re all very excited.”
