Hard to believe that
another week has passed and it's time for another edition of Ready
For The Weekend. This week we are first off to Portsmouth on Friday
night before heading to Bristol on Saturday. The weekend will finish
off on Sunday (as is traditional for a weekend) in London. So let's
get Ready For The Weekend.
We start off the
wrestling weekend with a trip down to Portsmouth for Revolution ProWrestling's event at the Portsmouth Guildhall.
The show will see New
Japan's Jay White back in action at RevPro after a
successful out at Uprising 2016 against Josh Bodom. This time he'll
be facing world-class opposition in “The Star Attraction” Mark Haskins. White is currently on tour to gain more experience and
he's guaranteed to get that against Haskins who is currently on
possibly the best run of his career so far.
While White has only
recently come to RevPro and will hopefully continue
to do so, this Friday will be the last time that “The Beast Of
Belfast” Big Damo steps between the ropes of RevPro. With that
being the case, RevPro management have granted Damo the right to choose his last opponent. The Northern Irish
heavyweight has decided to face a man who he has had close ties with,
Psycho Phillips. Damo has been a mentor to Phillips and
this will be the bout for Phillips to show Damo what he's learned
during their time as allies. However, Damo will be out to prove
that while he's taught Phillips a lot of what he knows, he's
not taught him everything that he knows and shall look to leave
RevPro with one last win.
The main event for this
Friday came about at the conclusion of Uprising 2016. Pete Dunne
was a direct cause of Will Ospreay losing to Vader in the sold out
York Hall. After the match, an angry Ospreay informed Dunne that
if he wanted his rematch for the Undisputed British Cruiserweight Championship then he was more than willing to give him it. Well why
wait any longer than we have to? This Friday night, Dunne gets
his chance at Ospreay and the Undisputed British Cruiserweight
Championship in Portsmouth. Dunne ruled the Cruiserweight
division until his loss to Ospreay, whilst Ospreay wants revenge for
Pete Dunne costing him his match against The Mastodon. Let's have a fight
this Friday night!

Moving on to Saturday
and Pro Wrestling Chaos will be at the Hanham Community Centre in
Bristol with Choose Your Weapon.
The event shall see the debut of
one of the top heavyweights in Europe in the shape of Dave Mastiff.
He will look to make an immediate impact as he challenges Wild Boar
for the King Of Chaos Championship. Boar has been a fighting
champion and will welcome the challenge that Mastiff will bring.
Two of the hardest hitting men in British Wrestling will meet and
only one of them will be a champion at the end of it.
Gideon has been
after the Doomsday Killers and more specifically their leader Ian Williams for what seems an eternity. Williams has always found a way
to escape or just avoid being in the ring with Gideon. Gideon has had
to resort to the ultimate risk in order to just get a match with Williams. He has agreed to put his career on the line in a No Disqualification match this Saturday against Williams. The leader
of Doomsday Killers is as cunning as he is devious and has in a
way gotten Gideon right where he wants him. However, Gideon now
cannot be stopped by any rules and with the anger and fury inside him
for Williams, I doubt that anyone would dare get involved during
the contest. If anyone does, they may suffer the same fate as what
may await Williams. Either that or we've seen the last of Gideon
in PWC.
The war for control of PWC began a few months ago with the return of Dave Mercy. Since then, General Manager Jimmy Havoc, have announced that there will
be an 8-man tag team match at All Or Nothing on 29th October with
the winning team gaining full power for their respective leader.
However before that match takes place, there will be a match this
Saturday where Pariah Khan's Jeckel and a partner of his choosing
will face Mercy's Mike Bird and his partner in tag team action.
This is the first battle in this war of control. A win for either
team will be a great boost ahead of 29th October and could
also help the winning team to recruit more members. The battle lines
have been drawn and now the fight is on and there can only be one
eventual winner.

Finally we
end the weekend back at PROGRESS Wrestling with Chapter 35: Writing
Nirvana On Other People's Bags at the sold out (Editor's Note: Return tickets still available) Electric Ballroom in
Camden, London.
After this Sunday we'll know what the final of the
Atlas Championship tournament will be with both semi-final matches
taking place. The first semi-final will see “Iron Man” Joe Coffey
face The Origin's Dave Mastiff while the second semi-final shall
feature Rampage Brown and T-Bone. Any combination of these four men
would be a worthy final to crown the inaugural Atlas Champion. This
championship was designed for true heavyweights and that is exactly
what we shall have with these two semi-final matches. Heavyweight
encounters are coming this Sunday.
With the next Natural Progression Series being used to determine the first PROGRESS Women's Champion,
the women's division in PROGRESS will be growing in the
coming months. That starts at Chapter 35 when both Alex Windsor and
Nixon Newell make their debut when they compete
against each other. Both are well known in British Wrestling and have
a wealth of experience. These two women have met before in SWE and VII Pro and put on
stellar performances. They'll look to deliver another this Sunday and
put themselves in serious contention for inclusion in the next
Natural Progression Series.
The main event this Sunday will see Marty Scurll defend the PROGRESS World Championship against Mark Andrews. Andrews has been on an impressive run of wins recently and PROGRESS have deemed him worthy of a championship opportunity. While Scurll is the first ever two-time PROGRESS Champion, if Andrews were to win, he would become a two-time champion himself.
While Scurll may be looking ahead to the PROGRESS Championship
triple threat match in Brixton with Tommy End and Mark Haskins, to
look past Andrews as a credible threat could well mean that
Scurll doesn't even make it to Chapter 36 as champion.
