Tickets are $15 (plus fees)! Or, you can check out one of our MERCH PACKAGES that include a DISCOUNTED TICKET!!!! The choice is yours! Check out the shirts, by Zeke Guadiana! 
Party World Rasslin' is a massive party disguised as an absurd pro wrestling show. It's like nothing else: a heartfelt, stupid, violent, hilarious spectacle. We want everyone to come, go wild, and celebrate both life and death in a joyous ritual. Thanks to the support of THE MULTIVERSE (you), we returned after pandemic pretty much destroyed us. And now! ANOTHER PWR BREWERY VENUE HAS FALLEN! After the death of Oskar Blues, we're RETURNING TO OUR ROOTS by visiting the former Midway Fieldhouse (now COME AND TAKE IT LIVE) -- the place it all started! Here’s some things that happened at our last Halloween show:
  • haunted pepper

  • A vampiric grackle struggled against an undead pastry chef

  • Actual monsters participated in a costumed battle royale to determine who would judge a different costume contest
  • An enraged pizza man went nuts 
This is the kind of crucial, high-concept, completely necessary PARTY VIOLENCE we want to bring to life. And we want you there with us!
You may have noticed that for our last few shows, we've been selling tickets. This is in contrast to the nearly 10 years where we had free shows. Why is this? Couple reasons. 

We increased our budget to pay wrestlers more, for one thing. Also, we no longer have a base of operations since 4th Tap folded, so we need to purchase and rent more equipment. Additionally, we don’t want to use donation website-platforms anymore. The cut they take is pretty big. We figured, why not take the money we spend on kickstarter fees and put it back into our staff/performers/show??? 

We continue to rely heavily on volunteer labor from our core staff as well as our friends. And we still count on fans to help us break even! That’s why we’re STILL OFFERING PRE-SHOW MERCH! If you get some, you can get a discounted ticket as part of the cost! Or, you can get merch and NOT EVEN COME! It’s up to you. If merch or $15+fees is not in your budget and you still really want to come, send us an email, we can probably work something out.

Where is the money Lebowski

We started this as a barnstarmer party where we invited everyone and went nuts, and we want to keep that spirit alive. For around 9 years every brewery show we did in Austin was free. The real estate situation in North Austin has changed, and the era of free, donation-based, 2000-person events in breweries is over for the time being. But we haven’t given up hope! We’ve adapted, but we will —never— compromise! We've reduced our costs even more, but we still want our show be just as big and wild as it's ever been. We still we spend somewhere in the neighborhood of $7,000 producing this show!

Some of the cool things your ticket and merch money will help us do include:

Art and design. Our art is made by hand with paint, cardboard, foam, and gumption. We do our best to use our resources effectively while still making the show immersive and wild. We have an extremely talented team of designers who transform the venue into an art piece by using garbage.  Oskar Blues will become a glowy, underground incubation chamber for cryptids and it's gonna rule.

Paying artists and performers. PWR is a passion project. Highly-skilled folks work on a volunteer basis: performers, A/V masters, and visual artists. We budget so that we can support their hard work!

Costumes. Lead costumer RAQUEL translates our DUMBEST IDEAS into compelling and visually-stunning outfits that can be MOVED AROUND IN!

Thank you for supporting us for 10 glorious years. We hope to see you at the BRAWLCANO. HAIL MOTHER WORM

CURRENT LORE

After fleeing from THE BEECAVES, BIG DADDY BOLERO sought to expand his real estate stranglehold to A HAUNTED HOUSE. Deranged pizza man Luigi Primo was hot on his trail, and swore to stop wrestling if he couldn’t win the PARTYWEIGHT TITLE! Luigi won by a hair, breaking the curse of THE HAUNTENING and beginning the process of healing the rift with Mother Worm which Bolero had caused.

Now, Luigi must bring the PARTYWEIGHT TITLE to the VERY CORE OF THE VOLCANO to purge the belt of its remaining DALLAS ENERGY! But Bolero’s number 1 lieutenant — an inexplicably swole college academic named THE PROFESSOR — will do his best to commit PARTY ATROCITIES against the belt! Further WORMCRIME could cause an eruption that could destroy PWR forever. But concerted WORMJOY could cause a GOOD EXPLOSION that could RETURN MOTHER WORM TO THIS REALM!!!

WHICH WAY, MODERN SLAM????!
