The nephews of WWE legend Tommy Billington aka The Dynamite Kid will compete for This Is Wrestling on Sunday.

Billington - a WWE tag team champion in The British Bulldogs with his cousin Davey Boy Smith - died in December, aged 60.

Now his nephews Mark and Thomas Billington are following in the footsteps of the influential grappler from Golborne, Lancashire.

The second-generation tag-team will be part of a landmark show for Wigan-based promotion This Is Wrestling at Ormskirk Civic Hall on Sunday afternoon.

The young duo - who have been training at World of Sport great Marty Jones' Squared Circle Academy' - will face an equally talented Scouse pairing.

This is Wrestling’s co-founder Kristian Bennett said: "If you're a wrestling fan, you'll recognise that name. It's a huge legacy to live up to but these lads will be more than determined to show why they are up to the challenge.

"They're facing the Merseyside Murder Squad - Dan Evans and Scott Oberman - who are extremely dangerous but talented wrestlers.

"This easily could be the match of the night; all four men are hugely talented with bright futures ahead of them."

The show, titled The Future Is Now, will see This Is Wrestling crown its first champion in a scramble match featuring five performers.

Two wrestlers will start the bout with a new rival joining the match at regular intervals until the ring is full of all five competitors.

Each time they score a pinfall or submission they will be the interim champion until the final bells sounds and the winner is confirmed.

Four contestants have been confirmed - Ethan Allen, Pitbull, Soner Dursun and Phillip Michael - but one spot remains up for grabs.

It will be determined in a 'Last Chance Battle Royal' earlier in the night, with the winner progressing to the evening's main event.

A women's clash sees Jessica Light face Taonga, Big Joe collides with Big T Justice, and 'That Man' Joey Hayes will be in attendance.

Hayes - aka THE free agent of British wrestling - is coming to Ormskirk... but what the does the submission specialist have in mind?

Doors open between 2.25pm and 2.40pm, with the first bell at 3pm, at the venue in Southport Road, Ormskirk.

General admission tickets, priced £10 for an adult, £5 for a child and £25 for a family of two adults and two children, are on sale here.
