Wrestling: Santa Ana hoping to scare up some support

If your previous experiences with scary wrestlers has been limited to television-viewed, Undertaker body slams, you’ll definitely want to check out the haunted house the Santa Ana wrestling team will be moving into later this month.

According to Santa Ana coach Scott Glabb, the wrestlers will be working the official ‘SAW Live Action Haunted Attraction’ in Brea throughout the Halloween season.

Terrorizing Orange County’s bravest souls (or should we say craziest?) isn’t just the realization of some devilish fantasy, though. The defending Southern Section Division IV dual-meet champions are working to raise money for their wrestling program, and I’m sure they’d be willing to give you the heebee-jeebies if you decide to slap down some green.

Tickets start at $13 and the attraction will be open evenings Thursday through Sunday from Sept. 26 to Nov. 2. Be sure to give this MySpace page a thorough click-bashing for more information.

Unfortunately, I don’t think I will make it out to this event. The prospect of teenage boys from different weight classes jumping out the dark in an attempt to re-create this generation’s most infamous horror film franchise doesn’t sound particularly appealing. Besides, I know I would be a prime target for harassment dressed as a Stormtrooper.

Here’s a quick video of the guy who used to be the scariest wrestler around until Santa Ana showed up on the haunting scene:
