About Micro Wrestling at the Microtorium
Micro Wrestling is the loudest small room in Pigeon Forge. The Micro Wrestling Federation performs a full-scale, WWE-style show with wrestlers who are all under five feet tall, and it plays at its own 300-seat mini arena, the Microtorium, at 185 East Wears Valley Road.
What the show is
The Pigeon Forge tourism office describes it as an outrageously fun show for the whole family. It is staged like a professional wrestling card, with entrances, rivalries and a crowd that is encouraged to get loud. The federation performs about 200 shows a year across the country and has opened this arena in Pigeon Forge.
Teenagers and kids who follow wrestling will recognize the format right away. For everyone else, the show is easy to follow, because the story lines are simple and the crowd tells you who to cheer for.
Schedule
The tourism listing gives these hours: Wednesday through Saturday, 3:00 to 4:30 pm and 6:00 to 7:30 pm. That gives each show a run time of about 90 minutes, based on the listed windows. Reservations are by phone at (513) 519-3287. Because the schedule is listed only on the tourism site, confirm the current days and times when you call, especially in winter.
Where it is
The Microtorium is at 185 East Wears Valley Road, off the Parkway toward Wears Valley. It is within a short distance of the other small theaters on that road, so you can plan more than one evening in the same area.
Tickets and seating
Ticket prices are not listed on the pages available. The arena seats 300, and the small size means even back-row seats are close to the ring. Ask when you call about seating, and about how loud the room gets if you have a younger child or a family member who is sensitive to noise.
Planning tips
The two daily time slots make this an easy fit around a busy day. The 3 pm show works for families who want a late-afternoon activity, and the 6 pm show suits groups who want to be done in time for a late dinner. Dinner is not part of the ticket, so eat before or after at any nearby restaurant.
Wednesday through Saturday is the only run, so if your trip falls on a Sunday through Tuesday, plan another show. This is also not a quiet option, so travelers who want a calm evening should look at the tribute shows nearby.
For more on how the show is billed, the Pigeon Forge tourism office keeps a listing for Micro Wrestling, and its shows directory shows how it compares with the other theaters in town. Since the page does not list a venue website, the phone number is the most reliable way to confirm times.
