Coral Gables will likely witness its toughest crowd ever when TNA Wrestling makes a stop at the University of Miami’s BankUnited Center. Six-year-old TNA is full of familiar faces. World Heavyweight Champ Samoa Joe, Booker T, A.J. Styles, and Christian Cage are just a few of the well-known stars who will bring the pain to the U.

TNA, which stands for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, has brought innovation to professional wrestling, including the six-sided ring. It has also delivered unique characters who remind us why fake wrestling is so great — Awesome Kong, Curry Man, and the very, um, athletic Christy Hemme. Sit back and watch the carnage unfold at 8 p.m. Tickets range from $20 to $50 and are available at www.ticketmaster.com.
