Ballpark Brawl

Ballpark Brawl is a regional professional wrestling federation founded by Chris Hill.

History
The first Ballpark Brawl was held at Dunn Tire Park in Buffalo following a AAA Buffalo Bisons game. This remains a yearly tradition, with Buffalo cards held every year from 2003 through 2006.
