Yes, that Butterbean. The 420-pound behemoth boxer/MMA fighter/punch line.

If you have nothing else to do this Saturday evening (and I mean NOTHING else to do), don’t mind driving down to Tallmadge, and think you can slam Butterbean, have I got news for you.

This Saturday, the man with the mighty punch will highlight a professional wrestling event at Tuslaw High School.

Stage Live and Tuslaw All-Sports Booster Club will present “Cleveland All-Pro Wrestling,” a fundraiser for Tuslaw athletics. Show time is 7:30 p.m.

“I don’t believe anyone is going to slam me. It’s pretty hard. Almost impossible,” Esch said during a recent interview.

That’s right.

If you’ve got the cojones, you can get into the ring and try to slam the giant fighter, all 420 pounds of him.
