We're back with yet another edition of our weekly article and either you people keep reading them or Across The Pond Wrestling like having us around. Either way this weekend we're firstly heading to Northallerton for New Generation Wrestling's event on Friday. On Saturday we are once again going across the Irish Sea to Dublin for Over The Top Wrestling before finally rounding off hopping over to Wales where Dragon Pro Wrestling are in action in Newport. Let's get Ready For The Weekend!
Kicking off the
wrestling weekend and New Generation Wrestling will be at The Forum
in Northallerton. The show will be main evented by the current NGW
Undisputed Champion; 'The Showstealer' Nathan Cruz and Martin Kirby.
In a different set of circumstances, Kirby could have been the
man with the gold in this contest as he originally set to challenge
Rampage Brown at NGW's last event at The Forum for the title.
However, Cruz managed to become the champion before that
happened. Now Martin Kirby gets to face the man at the top of the
mountain and while the championship will not be on the line, a win
would certain put Kirby in line for a future title match. Cruz
will be focused on his triple threat championship defence that takes
place just 24 hours later, but he certainly won't be ignoring the
threat that Kirby poses. One of the men who will be
challenging Cruz on May 28th will be Rampage Brown.
He shall also be in action this Friday when he faces Liam Slater in a
match that shall be a first between the two. Brown is
hell-bent on destruction right now and nobody is safe from his wrath.
His opponent in Northallerton will be the ever popular, Slater,
a man who has had his own problems of late, mainly in the shape of
Joseph Conners. While it would be wise for Slater to have eyes in the
back of his head, if he's not looking at Brown then he might
not have a head on his shoulders when Brown is finished with
his this Friday. If Brown is dangerous, then Dara Diablo is
just as dark. The man who once stood alongside the biggest and most
loved names in NGW simply does not exist anymore. In his place, is a
dark and dangerous man who is in full control of the demons inside
him. His opponent is Matt Myers, a man who has a drive like he never
has before. These two men meet a number of months ago and it was
Myers who walked away with the win. Since then Matt Myers' ambition
has grown with the fire inside him for success. The question now is
can Matt Myers' fire still burn bright when it is face to face with
the blackness of Dara Diablo's soul?

Moving on to Saturday
and Ireland's Over The Top Wrestling are back in Dublin at the Tivoli
Theatre. The night will see The Gymnasties hard work come to fruition
when they final challenge The Kings Of The North for the OTT Tag Team
Championship. The Gymnasties have had to win three matches in a row
to earn this title fight and they're bound to give it everything they
have to finally win the championship they have desired for so long.
The K.o.t.N. on the other hand have held the championship
for a long time and will have no plans on releasing them this
Saturday. The fact that it was Dunkan Disorderly of The K.o.t.N. who was the last hurdle The Gymnasties overcame on their road
to the championship match will only add to Bonesaw & Damien
Corvin's determination to win and keep the gold. Pete Dunne was
originally scheduled to face Zack Sabre Jr this Saturday but an
injury has meant that Dunne was without an opponent. Well he's got
one now in the shape of 'Iron Man' Joe Coffey. These two men have
never met one on one and the only interaction they have had in the
squared circle was back in 2014. In those two years, these men have
grown in ever sense of the word. Both are now bigger, stronger and
more experienced. OTT is in one for one hell of a match in Dublin. The
main event will see championship gold up for grabs as Luther Ward
shall be putting the OTT No Limits Championship on the line against
one of the most dangerous strikers in the world in 'Anti-Hero' Tommy
End. Ward has been a mainstay of Over The Top Wrestling for a
long time and is now in his second reign as champion. While known for
his success as part of the Sumerian Death Squad, End has also
held gold as singles competitor in multiple countries. This Saturday
he will look to add another country to that list while Ward
shall look to add another name to his list of men who have tried to
take the championship from around his waist.

The weekend rounds off
with Dragon Pro Wrestling who will be back at their home of the
Rodney Parade in Newport, Wales. In the last 9 months, DPW have been having more regular events in Newport and
'Battlelines' will be the latest. The main event will see the head
trainer of the DPW Academy, Mike Bird bring the best
of the Academy in the shape of Danny Jones and Bishop to face the
current All Wales Champion; Big Grizzly and two trainees who have
turned their back on the Academy, Jonny Doe and Joe 'Messy' Mezinger. Bird has had enough of Grizzly cheating his way to win and
now with the help of Doe and Mezinger, he's had enough. His partners, Jones and Bishop are two of the finest men to come from the
DPW Academy in recent memory. Jones came very
close to becoming champion until the aforementioned cheating stopped
it. Bishop on the other hand is undefeated in DPW,
defeating some of the best on the roster. Bird, Jones and
Bishop look to send a message this Sunday that dirty tactics and
disrespect will not be the way of Dragon Pro Wrestling. This Sunday
will also see the continuation of the Celtic Crown Women's
Championship tournament with two débuts. The first debut is Ciel
Fontaine who carries a reputation of being a perfectionist with her
work. That perfectionist trait has lead to her also being known as
having quite a temper when things don't go her way. Her opponent and
fellow debutante is Sierra Loxton, who is known for her very
unique style, blending a mix of Lucha Libre and Joshi Puroesu to
create vicious strikes that come with degree of showmanship. These
two competitors will be a clash of styles, it'll come down to which
style overcomes the other on May 28th and which debutante
progresses to the next stage of the tournament. For a number of
months, relations between former DPW Tag Team Champions; Panda
Mask and Panda Cub have worsened. Things came to a head last month
when they lost the championship to The Pure Breed. After that, things
exploded between the two. This Sunday we're going to see one of the
most popular tag teams in DPW tear themselves apart
when they face each other one on one in Newport, Wales. This match
may be less of who wins but rather who is the one to survive.
