There’s a certain charm that comes with pro wrestling.
Maybe your favorite wrestler finally overcomes insurmountable odds to become a world champion. Maybe the heel that you loathe finally gets his or her head smashed with a light tube. Or, maybe, the venue you’re watching the sport at is so unique you’ll have memories to cherish.

European promotion Banger Zone Wrestling provided some of those core memories as it hosted Watermania over the weekend. The event took place at Centre Aquatique Aquoise in Méru, France, on Saturday. The ring was placed on floats in the middle of a pool.
The card featured a Royal Baignade match that saw a handful of wrestlers trying to eliminate each other over the top rope. Video from the match showed wrestlers trying to get their balance in the ring with multiple wrestlers in the ring. Notable names like Donovan Dijak and LJ Clearly were also on the card.
