Uncanny Attractions Combines Pro Wrestling and Drag Queens at Iconic Austin Venue

AUSTIN, TEXAS, September 1, 2022 – After a brief hiatus from the independent wrestling scene, NYC-bred Uncanny Attractions is rebooting for a Texas-sized debut in Austin at the iconic Mohawk on Red River. November 20, 2022 marks the anticipated return of Drags and Dropkicks featuring a star-studded night of professional wrestling, drag queens, and so much more. In partnership with Equality Texas, the show will be an all-inclusive celebration of the LGBTQIA+ community in Texas and beyond.

With an emphasis on up and coming queer talent in professional wrestling, Uncanny Attractions combines the entertainment prowess of pro wrestlers and drag queens to produce an event unlike any other. There is truly something for everyone at the shows.

Previous talent featured on Uncanny Attractions: Drags and Dropkicks includes Sonny Kiss, Effy, Edith Surreal, Nurse Ratchet, MV Young, Allie Katch, Billy Dixon Eddie McQueen, Roni Nicole, Big Swole, and more.

“There has never been a better time to bring Uncanny Attractions to Austin, Texas. The creative energy of the city paired with the organized chaos of one of our shows is simply meant to be,” says Lynn Frailey, co-founder and booker of the promotion. “We have been dreaming of hosting an event at Mohawk and could not imagine a better space to show Texas what we’re all about.”

The current political landscape of Texas has not gone unnoticed by the team behind Uncanny Attractions. As conservative Texas leaders continue to propose anti-LGBTQIA+ legislation, the wrestling promotion reminds the community that people are stronger together, when everyone shows up as their authentic selves.

“In a state like Texas where there are direct attacks on our right to exist, it’s more important than ever to remind everyone that we are here, we have been here, and we’re not going anywhere,” says Devin Carter, a San Antonio-based wrestler debuting at Drags & Dropkicks in November. “Celebrating our talent in the form of professional wrestling, performing drag, or however else we want to show up, is the epitome of the welcoming spirit of Texas that I know and love.”
