Leaping from the top ropes to attack an opponent will certainly be possible with the ceiling height at the Johnstown Galleria in Richland Township, All or Nothing (AON) wrestling promoter Rick Lyttle said.
AON professional wrestling is set for a showdown at 7 p.m. June 19 at the Galleria at 500 Galleria Drive.
Will a rival Altoona band of wrestlers show up?
âWe donât know, but they do have rivals in Altoona,â he said, hinting at the likelihood for ramped up competition.
Sports venues are AONâs usual settings, but Galleria management was receptive when Lyttle visited the mall with the idea.

HOLLIDAYSBURG Witnesses told a Blair County jury Friday that Paul Aaron Ross wore the type of athletic shoe linked to footprints found in an area of Canoe Creek State Park where Tina S. Miller was found dead in 2004.
Ross, the last person to be seen with the 26-year-old Miller, went on trial this week in Blair County Court, charged with first-degree murder and related sexual assault offenses.
Testimony, which resumes Monday, is expected to extend through next week.
“The pace of the trial is moving along,” President Judge Elizabeth Doyle said Friday in court before dismissing the jury for the weekend.

HOLLIDAYSBURG A 40-year-old Johnstown man with a long history of drug abuse said Tuesday that selling drugs allowed him to support his own habit.
“I was using drugs for a long time,” Malik Lydil Johnson told Judge Wade Kagarise, who handed down a sentence of six to 14 years based on Johnson’s plea to criminal charges in five heroin sales inside Blair County.
“This is the first time in my life that I’ve wanted to change,” Johnson told Kagarise.
Johnson has been housed in the Blair County Prison since his Aug. 2, 2018, arrest outside the food court of the Logan Valley Mall where he sold heroin laced with fentanyl to a confidential informant for $250. It was the fifth sale police reported witnessing during an investigation that began in June 2018.
