Blue Mountains Pro Wrestling has partnered with Ironfest to bring the first annual Lithgow Valley Cup (LVC) to honour, celebrate and represent the region with all things wrestling.
Former Lithgow resident and Blue Mountains Pro Wrestling promoter, Marek Indyka said he was excited to bring the first ever LVC to Ironfest which would allow the winner to be the first cup holder and also receive a future Blue Mountains World Heritage title match.
"This is something locals from not only Lithgow but around the Central West and Blue Mountains can really get behind, it's open to a range of contenders including rookies, veterans and locals," he said.
Indyka said Blue Mountains Pro Wrestling had always been big on those earning opportunities in the ring and rewarding championship matches to worthy contenders.
"Although we will be rewarding worthy contenders the LVC is open to any level of experience," he said.

He also said the cup would have potential to create some very interesting match-ups and possible career changing upsets.
"The cup will not be one to miss and will no doubt have a regional feel with wrestlers from Oberon, Bathurst, Katoomba, Penrith and Hawkesbury all competing," Indyka said.
Indyka also said there would be something for everyone over the two days including masked wrestlers, brawlers, tag teams, regional wrestlers, women's wrestling and of course the Lithgow Valley Cup.
"It's the only place you'll get to feel the wrestling atmosphere, thank you to the Ironfest organisers who have given us this great opportunity to perform in Lithgow," he said.
Matches will be held in The Shed over the weekend at 11am, 1pm and 3pm with the LVC to be held on the Saturday.
