BIG VITO ANNOUNCES EUROPEAN TOUR SCHEDULE

Tampa, FL – Coming off his MMA debut victory, Big Vito explodes onto the European wrestling scene. The "Toughest Man to Ever Wear a Dress" will return to entertain fans but no one can predict which persona he is bringing to the squared circle. Is it going to be the "Dress" or is he returning to the rough, tough, bad boy style of his Italian heritage?

Given that Vito is a former Iron Man Champion of the Hannover Tournament, the very prestigious title that has also been held by many other famous European wrestlers, this should be an interesting start in Germany working for German Stampede Wrestling (GSW).

"We are happy to be hosting Vito on his return to Germany!" said Alexander Erven of German Stampede Wrestling.
