PTW Underground 23: Halloweenowy Łomot
Underground 23 was an event by Prime Time Wrestling held on Saturday, October 19th, 2024. The venue was Dworek Pod Platanem in Kozłów - PTW's main wrestling venue and training facility.
This Underground's name - "Halloweenowy Łomot", which can be loosely translated as "Halloween Bash" - suggested to the public that the event would have a Halloween theme, which was visible in promotional materials publicized on PTW's social media, as well as in decorations at the venue and the performers' entrances.
According to Istota Wrestlingu, who attended the event in person, the overall attendance at the show was approximately 50 people - including friends and families of the performers, which was visible and audible due to fact that the venue at Kozłów can hold at least 150-200 people in the audience.

Vincent Caravaggio vs "Starboy" Nano Lopez
