'Huncles' rumble at Tanjong Pagar CC's first pro wrestling event
The Straits Times
|October 26, 2025
“Hunclemania” ran wild at the Tanjong Pagar Community Club on the evening of Oct 25, when seniors took centre stage (or rather, ring) at the inaugural WrestlePagar event.
Backed by the rapturous cheers of more than 275 residents in attendance, Mr Lai Weng Kay, 92, and Mr Richard Lim, 75, stepped through the ropes to face off against — and run off — the villainous pairing of LFG, made up of two wrestlers decades younger than them.
WrestlePagar was organised by the People’s Association, Tanjong Pagar CC and local promotion company Grapplemax Pro Wrestling.
The showcase featured a total of six matches, including contests for Grapplemax’s Tag Team and Rising championship titles.
Mr Lai and Mr Lim are part of Tanjong Pagar-Tiong Bahru’s H.U.N.C.L.E (Healthy Uncles who Network, drink Coffee, Learn and Exercise) programme.
