This weekend sees a number of thing
happening. One promotion is following up their debut show, another
might change forever and a third is putting on a show that some fans
are calling one of the best ever in the company's history. Let's get
Ready For The Weekend!
On Friday night, VII Pro Wrestling are
hosting the follow-up to their debut show at The Hive in Shrewsbury.
The main event for the show was announced during the debut show and
will see current TNA star, Mark Andrews return to the UK to face one
of the best up-and-coming stars in the shape of Drew Parker. The show
will also feature a showcase of Attack! Pro Wrestling when the
current Attack! Pro 24/7 champion, Pete Dunne defends the
championship against Mike Bird, Love Making Demon and Super Santos Sr
in a four-way match. In another multiple competitor match. Ethan
Silver, Chris Ridgeway and Pyro will all face each other in a triple
threat match. All of these matches plus Ryan Smile vs Damian Dunne
and Nixon Newell vs Marc Morgan makes VII Pro Wrestling's second
event look like another fun outing for the promotion.
Moving on to Saturday and Paid
Promotions are back at the Winter Gardens in Morecambe. Chris
Ridgeway will be in action against The Referendum's Solar. Solar is a
bright rising luchador star in the UK right now but Ridgeway has
history with masked wrestlers, namely El Ligero who he defeated to
end his career in Morecambe. Solar will be looking to break the trend
and avoid Ridgeway adding another mask to his trophy cabinet.
Speaking of The Referendum, Viper will be in four-way competition on
August 15th when she competes against Nikki Storm, Toni
Storm & Lana Austin in what is fast becoming a very competitive
women's division in Paid Promotions. The biggest match of the night
is undoubtedly Stixx & Joey Hayes vs Craig Kollins & Johnny
Phere. This match has so much on the line and so many dimensions to
it. On one hand if Stixx & Hayes win, Paid Promotions will be
renamed Alpha Omega and Greg Lambert will be gone forever. On the
other, if Phere & Kollins win, Stixx is stripped of the British
Heavyweight Championship and his career in Paid Promotions is over.
Then you add in the issue that Johnny Phere & Craig Kollins
despise each other and have been beating each other up for the last
couple of months. Whatever the outcome at 'Vendetta', Paid Promotions
will change forever.
Finishing off the weekend on Sunday is
the third Edinburgh Fringe show from Insane Championship Wrestling.
This show is quite simple phenomenal. Every match of it is a reason
to go to it. Up first we have the current number one contenders to
the ICW Tag Team Championship, Irn Jew's Colt Cabana & Grado face
Sebastian & Tom Irvin of The GZRS, who have literally exploded in
British Wrestling in the last few months. This match will see not
only these men come together in the ring but their cult followings
meet in ICW. Another match set for Sunday will give a small glimpse
of the war that will take place at 'Fear & Loathing VIII' when
The New Age Kliq's BT Gunn, Stevie Boy & Wolfgang face Mikey
Whiplash, Tommy End & Michael Dante of Legion in a six-man tag
team match. We say match but in all honesty this will be a fight.
Probably a very nasty, brutal fight. The main event in Edinburgh will
be a rematch from 'Barramania' when Joe Coffey takes on the current
ICW World Heavyweight champion, Drew Galloway in a non-title match.
Joe Coffey is at breaking point right now, telling the crowd last
week that he needs the ICW World Heavyweight Championship to reach
the next level. However, Drew Galloway has the cards on his side
after his alliance with Jack Jester and ICW General Manager, Red
Lightning who is intent on toying with the 'Iron Man'. Lightning
initially informed Joe Coffey that he would get a shot at the
championship this week only to then change his mind and tell Coffey
that he has to beat the champion first before he'll get a match for
the title. All of that plus matches featuring Kenny Williams, Chris
Renfrew, the continuation of the ICW Women's Championship tournament
and a lot more takes place on August 16th.
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. To find out more about the
