Eight of the best female wrestlers go head to head (to head, etc.) to see which queen will reign supreme in a single-elimination tournament. While they may sound like strippers, Barbi Hayden, Angel Blue, Su Yung, Addy Starr, and others will beat your ass if you say that to their faces. There will also be two matches featuring dude-stars of the ACW roster including Scot Summers, Carson, Ricky Starks, and Davey Vega. Regardless of who wins the tournament, it’s a victory for feminism … we think.

Sun., June 23, 5:15-10pm. Mohawk, 912 Red River, 512/482-8404. $12 ($15, front row or balcony). www.anarchychampionshipwrestling.com.
