60th Anniversary Sludge Slam!

Men, women, and operators of all ages—get ready for an unforgettable night on Wednesday, October 14, 2026! As part of the 60th Anniversary of the WWOA Annual Conference in Green Bay, Wisconsin, WWOA proudly presents the 60th Anniversary SLUDGE SLAM Professional Wrestling Event! The action begins at 8:30 p.m. at the Historic Riverside Ballroom (1560 Main Street, Green Bay, WI 54302).

Get ready for five action-packed matches where good battles evil—with a wastewater twist! Watch fan favorites like Dastardly Dr. Ooze, straight from the Sewers of Green Bay, and the revolting Grease Berg. Then cheer on The Midwest Macerators —featuring the colossal Devan “The Giant” Drake and WWOA’s own resident professional wrestler, Kujo, the Mad Dog of War (Director Aaron Eichhorst)—as they take on the Gen Z Unflushables, a team notorious for flushing anything and everything down the toilet whenever they please!

The excitement doesn’t stop there! WWOA’s resident ring announcer, Ken Bosteder, will call all the action throughout the evening. Before the main event, the 2026 Operator Competition First Place Team will be revealed in the ring and awarded the inaugural WWOA Operator Competition Championship Belts by none other than WWOA President Ben “The Bruiser” Brooks!

Shuttle buses will be available from 8:00–11:00 p.m. The first shuttle departs at 8:00 p.m. from the Hyatt Regency (333 Main St., Green Bay, WI) and will run continuously throughout the evening. The final return shuttle will leave the Riverside Ballroom (1560 Main St., Green Bay, WI) at 11:00 p.m.

To help celebrate this milestone event, exclusive one-time-only WWOA 60th Anniversary SLUDGE SLAM T-shirts will be available soon through the WWOA pop-up shop. Don’t miss your chance to grab one and be part of the celebration!
