POTSDAM – Fight for the Mind IV will make its debut at the Potsdam Central School High School gymnasium Saturday, Jan. 26.

The show, as in previous years, will help raise money for the Alzheimer’s Association of the Northeast.

Shaun Balaban, a 2001 graduate from Massena, is organizing the show. His mother passed away from dementia and Balaban is continuing to put on shows on in her memory.

Buff Bagwell, former WCW star and NWO member, will headline the show against Balaban, who wrestlers under the name “The All Knighter” Shooter Storm. Storm will have his new bodyguard Atlantis in his corner for this bout.

Fan favorite Myzery the Barbarian, from Alexandria Bay, returns in a clash of big men as he takes Central New York’s own “Beast from the Northeast” Brute Van Slyke.

Van Slyke has wrestled for Impact Wrestling, Ring of Honor, Global Force Wrestling, Combat Zone Wrestling the now defunct 2CW, where he built his name, and has also wrestled in Japan and Canada. He has been compared to former wrestling stars Bam Bam Bigelow, Stan Hansen and Vader.

Former ECW and ROH star HC Loc will take on Massena native Payne.

Dewey Murray and Mad Dogg Nelson are also expected to wrestle with more names being announced in the coming weeks. There should be around 8 matches on the card.
