In 1977, their “Bridge Over Troubled Water” album was nominated at the Brit Awards for Best International Album.

DEFY Most Dangerous @ Alma Tacoma
Tickets
Jan 20 @ 8:00 am

TACOMA WA:
DEFY Wrestling returns to ALMA TACOMA Friday, January 20th with DEFY MOST DANGEROUS.

We’ve got a massive tag team match scheduled with members of THE DARK ORDER from AEW taking on former DEFY World Tag Team Champions STATE OF EMERGENCY with TARA ZEP! We will also see the DEFY debut of the dangerous MARINA SHAFIR as she battles the “Joshi Slayer” CAT POWER!

After the last DEFY event at ALMA Tacoma we saw LEVI COOPER bully GUILLERMO ROSAS for most of their match, with ROSAS narrowly escaping with the win only to get jumped from behind. LEVI then attacked him from behind and cut a piece of hair from GUILLERMO’s head. This will lead to a special HAIR versus HAIR match January 20th at ALMA.

Returning to DEFY; TIKTOK stars THE VORO TWINS will be facing SINNER & SAINT in a fight over potential shots at the tag team championship. Former DEFY World Champions will go head to head as DAVEY RICHARDS steps into the ring against ARTEMIS SPENCER! So much more is set to take place THIS FRIDAY!

PO BOY TANGO @ Tacoma Little Theatre
Tickets
Jan 20 @ 7:30 pm

A celebration of the human spirit and the joy of cooking.

Po Boy Tango tells the story of Richie Po, a Taiwanese immigrant who turns to his estranged friend Gloria, an African-American Soul Food Chef, to help him recreate his mother’s ‘Great Banquet’. Despite the challenges of shark fin soup, duck po boy sandwiches, and underlying cultural tensions, they find common ground through their shared humor and the blending of traditional Chinese cuisine and African-American soul food. Helped by lessons from Po Mama’s television cooking show, the two discover a deeper understanding of food, culture, and the nature of friendship.
