Wrestle Ropes Ready for the Weekend: November 2015 Week 3

As we still recover from the biggest show in British Wrestling history, the wrestling machine just keeps on rolling with another packed weekend coming up. Let's get Ready For The Weekend!

On Friday night, Discovery Wrestling are back in action in Edinburgh, this time at the Thomas Morton Hall. One match set to take place will see probably the most well-known man in British Wrestling today, Grado in action. Grado has had an issue with 'Global Hero' Joe Hendry ever since he cost Grado a match against Lou King Sharp. Now Grado gets his chance at retribution against Joe Hendry hopefully without any interference from Lou King Sharp. New faces are appearing in Discover Wrestling all the time and this Saturday shall be no different as 'White Lightning' Mark Andrews makes his debut. However, Andrews will not have an easy introduction to Discovery Wrestling as he faces 'Iron Man' Joe Coffey. Mark Andrews is a phenomenal athlete and will no doubt put on a show this Friday but his opponent, Joe Coffey is undefeated in Discovery Wrestling. An undefeated streak is an accomplishment in itself but Joe Coffey has defeated a plethora of international talent in Discovery Wrestling. Andrews face a great challenge but a win would be an amazing start to his Discovery Wrestling career. The main event this Friday shall see Rampage Brown and Damian O'Connor meet one last time. Both men hold a victory over the other in Discovery Wrestling. Neither man will back down from the other so they will now face each other until one of them cannot stand. The winner of this war will literally be the Last Man Standing.

The Christopher Saynt Celebration

Moving on to Saturday and Pride Wrestling host their final show of 2015 at the Bridgeton Community Centre in Glasgow. There has been a long running feud between Christopher Saynt and the group known as The Z List. The Z List have targeted Christopher Saynt for months, even luring Saynt's former tag team partner into their ranks. Christopher Saynt has now had enough and has decided to take the fight to The Z List and eliminated them one by one. His first target, the man who mentored him when he first began his career, Scott 'The Butcher' Renwick. The Butcher was always a hard-hitter but since joining The Z List, he has an unrepentant viciousness in him. Saynt looks to take out the heavyweight enforcer of The Z List on his path to destroying the group. However, the Scott Renwick that Christopher Saynt once knew is no more. The event will see both of Pride Wrestling's championship defended. The first, N7 Championship is a hotly contest title with numerous men laying claim to a shot at the championship. So how do you solve a problem like that? Put put the title on the line a four-way contest. Chris Renfrew has taken every step needed to keep the championship around his waist, the main step being delivering brutal beatings to his
opponents. But all of his defences so far have been straight up one on one affairs. Now Chris Renfrew must defend against former N7 Champion, Lewis Girvan, a mystery opponent and a man who has been in pursuit of Chris Renfrew for a number of months, DCT. Renfrew is a champion who will use the numbers game when needed. The tables are now turned though as the champion has a numerical disadvantage. Anyone could win this Saturday, who it will eventually be is very much like the fourth competitor, a mystery. The main event for November 21st will see 'The Beast Of Belfast' Big Damo defend the Pride Heavyweight Championship against Mikey Whiplash. This match will mark Big Damo's first defence of the heavyweight championship and the first appearance of Mikey Whiplash since he was robbed of the championship by Jacke Polo mere moments after winning it. Big Damo is the biggest man to ever hold the Pride Heavyweight Championship and will look to start his reign off with a showcase of his dominance. Mikey Whiplash will be looking to right the wrong that done to him earlier this year. One man is looking to start his reign as he means to go on. The other looking to start a reign he was so cruelly denied.

'Iron Man' Joe Coffey In Action

Finally on Sunday, Tidal Championship Wrestling will celebrate their second anniversary at the University Union in Leeds. They are not doing things small either as they have a nine match card set to take place! The main event will see Dara Diablo defend the TCW Championship for the first time since his win. He defends the title against a man who he knows very well, 'The Mexican Sensation' El Ligero. While Diablo may not pinned the champion to win the title, his accomplishment is still a big one. His defence will be even bigger as El Ligero is some of the toughest competition he could face in Tidal Championship Wrestling. From one championship to another, namely the TCW Open Championship. A few months ago, Sean Only had to forfeith the championship after substaining an injury that prevented him from competing. So now we need to have a match to find a new champion. Step up Violet O'Hara and Dan James. These two have met before in the past during the tournament to crown the first TCW Open Champion. We are guaranteed a new champion this Sunday so let's see who of the two that tried to capture the gold the first time can capitalise when opportunity presents itself once more. When people talk about the best in the UK, Martin Kirby is always in the mix. Another man often mentioned is Mark Haskins. If we discuss young rising talent, then former TCW Champion, Liam Lazarus is near the top of the pile. So in Leeds we're going to see two of the best in British Wrestling and a former champion and rising star compete in a triple threat match. This match should be all kinds of great. If you want to celebrate an anniversary then there really is no better way to do it than to have these three men compete in one ring.

That wraps up this week's preview of the weekend's wrestling schedule. Of course, there are many more events taking place over the three days.

Wrestle Ropes' Ready for the Weekend: September 2015 Weekend 1

We're back with another edition of Ready For The Weekend and it's another packed weekend of events. Let's have a little peak at the wrestling goodness that awaits.

On Friday night, Pro Wrestling 4 U return to their familiar haunt of the Silverdale Working Mens Club in Newcastle-Under-Lyme with Sweet As A Nut. In a turn from their normal events, PW4U have allowed the fans the opportunity to vote on certain aspects on some of the matches. One of the options that was chosen was a Best Of 3 Series between Violet Vendetta and Laura Jane. While Laura Jane may be a newcomer to PW4U, Violet Vendetta's actions and personality have made sure that the fans of PW4U won't forget her. Could Laura Jane cause an upset and steal Vendetta's thunder? We'll find out on Friday. A majority of the matches announced have been subject to a vote on social media, however the PW4U G6 Championship defence will be a bit different as the vote will take place live at the Silverdale Working Mens Club. Jurgen Heimlich has been a fighting champion since winning the title and on September 4th he'll be in a fight again but he's in the dark over whether he'll be facing Robert Sharpe, Noah or Zak Northern. In the main event, Keith Myatt shall defend the PW4U Championship against Barricade. Now that is a challenge in itself even for a veteran of the squared circle such as Keith Myatt. Now add in the fans choice of a Tables Match and the challenge increases tenfold. That being said, Keith Myatt became the champion due to his skills and will to win. Barricade faces as much of a challenge to dethrone Myatt as Myatt does to keep the title.

Moving on to Saturday night and Pride Wrestling are back in action with Saviours Of The Universe in Bridgeton, Glasgow. Pride Wrestling are known for blending established names with up-and-coming talent and this event is no different. Two men who are very well known to Pride Wrestling and British fans as a whole are Dickie Divers and Joe Coffey. These men have had their battles in Pride Wrestling before, in fact they competed on the first show in Bridgeton. However 5 years have gone by since that encounter and both men have grown and evolved in that time. Now it's time to see what has changed since 2010 when this rivalry is renewed. Some big names have been a part of Pride Wrestling in the past. One of those is 'The Best In Th Galaxy' Nikki Storm. Well the Storm is returning to Bridgeton on Saturday night but she'll come face to face with an opponent who has run through the majority of the female division in Pride, Layla Rose. Rose says that Nikki Storm is just another Barbie to break. Storm is back to prove why she's not just the best in the galaxy but the saviour of the Pride Wrestling universe. Originally a match between DCT and Chris Renfrew was scheduled for September 5th until an injury forced Renfrew to withdraw. However, the current N7 champion was given the chance by The Gaffer to choose a replacement for himself. And what a replacement he chose former champion, Joe Hendry. DCT has shown the heart and determination he has which has made him such a big figure in Pride. He'll need all of it when he not only faces the 'Global Hero' but a ringside surrounded by Chris Renfrew and The Gaffer's henchmen.

And finally on to Sunday and there was only really one show we could focus on and that was Progress Wrestling's Chapter 21: You Know We Don't Like To Use The Sit Down Gun. The main event shall see the first defence by Will Ospreay of the PROGRESS Championship. Ospreay gave everything to finally end the reign of Jimmy Havoc at Chapter 20 but now a new challenge presents itself in the shape of the 2015 Thunderbastard winner, 'The Star Attraction' Mark Haskins. Ospreay may have gotten out of the proverbial frying pan, he's now in the fire. This is a big test for ' The Aerial Assassin' against one of the best in Europe. Speaking of tests, Tommy End and Michael Dante have shown that they want to be tested as they've issued an open challenge to any team in the world to come and face them this Sunday at the Electric Ballroom. Who shall answer the challenge? We'll find out on Sunday! At Download Festival this year, El Ligero attacked James Davis in the aftermath of their match. Since then Davis has had no chance of retribution. Well that all changes this Sunday as El Ligero and his Origin team-mate, Nathan Cruz face The London Riots in a tag team match. Dealing out pain is always on The Riots minds. This time it has the added flavour of revenge with it.


That wraps up this week's preview of the weekend's wrestling schedule. Of course, there are many more events taking place over the three days.

Wrestle Ropes Ready for the Weekend (10th July - 12th July 2015)

Another week is almost over, the weekend upon us which means another plethora of wrestling events here in the British Isles. It's time to get Ready For The Weekend!

Friday night will see Fight Club: PRO back at The Planet Nightclub in Wolverhampton with their Rockstar show. The event will feature a tag team match between the teams of Eddie Dennis & Mike Bird and Wild Boar & Dan Moloney. Each one of these men are known for their hard-hitting offence so combined together it may be advisable to protect your beer glass from the impeding shockwaves when these two teams go at it on July 10th. From hard-hitting to technical finery, Trent Seven competes against Jack Gallagher in a match that will no doubt be a contender for Match Of The Night when two of the most technically gifted wrestlers in the UK meet in Wolverhampton. And what would an event be without some animosity and there is plenty of it between Chris Brookes & Nixon Newell. The former tag team partners and friends have become the bitterest of enemies in the past few months as Brookes become soley focused on himself and the Infinity Trophy. Will this war end on Friday night when these two compete? Who knows but a battle is 100% guaranteed. Add in the addition of current TNA star Rockstar Spud  making his return to Fight Club: PRO in six man action and a title defense for Champ MK McKinnan and it looks to be another unmissable show.

On Saturday night, Pride Wrestling will be back at the Bridgeton Community Centre in Glasgow with their We Aim To Misbehave... Again event. The first WATM show took place last year and featured a night of challenges, where anything could happen. On July 11th, history looks set to repeat itself with another packed show. Firstly we have the always outspoken, Jackie Polo defending the Pride Championship against 'The Beast Of Belfast' Damo O'Connor in the main event. Polo won the championship in dubious circumstances after cashing-in his championship contract on a exhausted Mikey Whiplash, immediately following his win over Glen Dunbar. However on Saturday he'll have his biggest defence yet, literally. 'The Beast Of Belfast' has been on a path of destruction in previous months and Polo could be next on Big Damo's demolition list. From one championship to another as DCT will cash-in his 24/7 contract for an N7 Championship against Chris Renfrew in what shall be Renfrew's first defence since winning the title in May. Also set to take place is Christopher Saynt accepting the challenge laid down by Matt Daly for a match. Daly has made his intentions clear against The Gatecrasher, on Saturday we'll see if he can carry them out. Add in matches featuring the likes of Viper, Mike Musso & Ryan Griffin just to name a few and it looks set to be another historic night in Pride Wrestling's history when wars are ended and new ones begin.

Moving on to Sunday, IPW:UK shall be in attendance at The Angel Centre in Tonbridge, Kent with Title Showdown. If there is one thing that IPW:UK do and do well, it's put on high quality, consistent events. Sunday looks to be no different with a varied match card on offer. First up we have Danny Duggan & Cieran Donnelly challenging the ever dominant team of The London Riots for the IPW:UK Tag Team Championship. In a match between two legends of British Wrestling, Doug Williams will compete in a match against Johnny Saint. Both men are deserving of the term legend and an opportunity to see either man, let alone both in the same match should not be missed by anyone. From one style to another, Sunday will also see international star, Mr Anderson team with the unusual duo of Jonathan Windsor & The Mexican Eagle to face the trio of Sha Samuels, Sebastian & Tom Irvin in a six-man tag team match. All of this plus a IPW:UK World Championship defence by Bad Bones against a mystery opponent and matches involving Iestyn Rees, Grado, Jonny Storm & Will Ospreay.


That wraps up this week's preview of the weekend's wrestling schedule. Of course, there are many more events taking place over the three days.
