November 08, 2026 • Guardian World

Summary

Disabled wrestlers from the Tuned In Project performed at the Foyle Rumble in Derry, Northern Ireland. Organizers say wrestling training and invented ring personas help participants build confidence, resilience, independence and a sense of community.

Key Facts

The Foyle Rumble is run by the Tuned In Project, a Derry-based nonprofit, and Complete Anarchy Wrestling, an event promoter in County Donegal.
Participants train for months and perform choreographed wrestling moves, which organizers say can still cause bruises and other injuries.
The event began in 2024; its third show drew hundreds of spectators and included dozens of performers, some without disabilities.
Keelan O’Hagan, 24, performs as Kellio and said the character’s persistence reflects how he handles challenges in his own life.
Brian Walsh, who is blind, performs as Brian Brogue and said he gained strength and confidence through training.
The show featured dramatic entrances, stunts and a storyline in which heroic characters faced a villain called The Fault.
The initiative grew from a wrestling stunt arranged for a wedding, after which coach Stephen Campbell began training Tuned In Project participants.
