MASSENA — Fight for the Mind 5 “Extreme Halloween” is set to take place from the St. Lawrence Centre mall Oct. 26 and partial proceeds benefit Alzheimer's Association of the Northeast.

The show will feature double main events pitting former Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) stars against local wrestlers.

There will be Halloween candy for the kids.

“Tickets are selling fast but good seats are still available,” according to Shaun Balaban, promoter for the show.

Balaban, who wrestlers under the name Shooter Storm, will take on The Franchise” Shane Douglas in one of featured bouts. Storm will be accompanied by his bodyguard and insurance policy “Atlantis” for this contest.

In the second main event, Fight for the Mind champion Myzery, will square of with Justin Credible for the belt. Credible has wrestled for many promotions over the years including WWE.

Former World Championship Wrestling star Buff Bagwell returns to Fight for the Mind and will face Massena’s own powerhouse Payne.

Tough Guy Inc., consisting of “Brutal” Bob Evans and “Tough” Tim Hughes are also on the card and expected to be in tag team action. "

The Atlantic Championship Wrestling American title will be on the line.

Balaban first started the event in memory of his mother, who passed away from dementia.

Balaban, who recently opened Fight for the Mind Pro Wrestling Dojo in the mall, has had multiple tryouts with WWE and even appeared on a PPV show getting manhandled by “The Monster Among Men” Braun Stowman during a backstage segment.
