GPW will be back after
a short break on August 14th for a rare Saturday slot at
The Monaco Ballroom, Hindley, Wigan. The first order of
business is a slight name change, from this point on we're
ditching the Garage (some might say about time!) and re-branding
as Grand Pro Wrestling, but we're still staying very much
GPW!
On with what you can expect to see on August 14th at GPW:
"Alive & Amplified"...
GPW
Heavyweight Title:
The Future |
Firstly, during the
Summer there have been some major developments in the Heavyweight
Title scene. For reasons to be unveiled at "Alive &
Amplified" Juggernaut can no longer be recognised as
the GPW Heavyweight Champion and the title has been vacated.
The future of the belt will be announced at the show.
Main
Event:
El Ligero vs. Mark Kodiak |
Two names that should
create all the hype needed without anything else needing
to be said take up the main event slot in a first time ever
meet. The UK's very own luchador, El Ligero takes on the
man from The Netherlands known as "The Girzzly Renegade"
Mark Kodiak in singles action.
After a lengthly hiatus, Kodiak returned to GPW in May at
"A Few More Good Men" entering No.16 in the 30
Man Rumble, lasting until the final 2 and striking fear
into the hearts of all the GPW superstars. Although eventually
eliminated by DDL, Kodiak made a big enough impression to
return for "Alive & Amplified" in the main
event to do it all over again. His opponent is GPW mainstay
El Ligero. One of the most recognisable superstars in the
UK, Ligero has wrestled near enough everybody - apart from
Kodiak. These two men's paths have never crossed before,
so what will happen when they do for the first time at GPW:
"Alive & Amplified"?
One thing is for certain this will be a match for the ages!

CJ
Banks British Title Open Challenge:
"The Juice" CJ Banks © vs. ???? |
For the first time
since winning the title, "The Juice" CJ Banks
will issue a special British Title Open Challenge to anyone
from GPW and beyond man enough to take him on in singles
action. Who will take up the challenge?
The MasterPlan's 3rd Member:
Revealed on August 14th
After months of hype we are told that The MasterPlan's much
talked about 3rd member will make himself known. Who could
this person be?
Singles
Match:
Joey Hayes vs. Bruce Sheila |
Bruce Sheila has
failed to make many friends since his arrival in GPW. Still
in his rookie year, on August 14th he'll take on a man who's
been on the roster since the beginning - the mega popular,
Joey Hayes. In this first time singles match, Joey will
look to teach the arrogant Aussie a thing or two about what
it takes to succeed at GPW, whereas Sheila will be looking
to cause an upset and make a name off Hayes' back. Sheila
is fresh off the heels of a big victory over Jak Domitrescu
in May and a respectable Rumble run, entering No.29 and
eliminated by the eventual winner, DDL. Can Joey teach Bruce
a lesson, or will Sheila score an upset?
4-Way Tag Team No.1 Contenders Match:
"Super" Sam Bailey vs. Cameron Kraze vs. Xander
Cooper vs. Jak Domitrescu |
With Voodoo on the
injured list and no viable No.1 Contenders to Paradise Lost's
tag team trophy, at "Alive & Amplified" we'll
discover who the new No.1 Contenders are in a special 4-way
match. Each individual represents themselves and a partner,
whoever is victorious at the end will have the opportunity
to pick a partner of their choosing and challenge Paradise
Lost to their Tag Team Trophy.
It's well documented 4-ways in GPW have always provided
the highest quality of match, and one man synonymous with
many of those in the past has been "Super" Sam
Bailey. Bailey will once again compete in another fantastic
looking 4-way for the chance at a title he held alongside
Matt Taylor over 3 years ago from Feb - July 2007. The MasterPlan's
Cameron Kraze will most certainly have the size advantage
going into this match, but will the fact he's not been in
this type of match before hinder him?
We are told the MasterPlan's 3rd member will unveil himself
on Aug 14th, could this be timed to help Kraze win here?
Relative GPW newcomer, Xander Cooper represents Prof.
Mike Holmes' group and has a multitude of possible tag team
partners to choose from should he win, not to mention his
regular tag team partner Carl Clinch. And the worrying thing
is, you feel as though Mike Holmes would happily return
to the lab and invent another superstar to assist Cooper
if his man won. The Eastern Bloc leader, Jak Domitrescu
makes up the 4th and final competitor in a match that could
well be very suited to the Eastern Bloc's methods. The Bloc
are known to travel in a group with Kristov Eganski, Thor
Laarson and Vladimir Radkov never far away and a move into
the tag division could be the wisest move the massively
popular Bloc. However, can they be successful? The Monaco
faithful will surely be cheering them on. But who will emerge
No.1 Contenders at the end?
Grudge Match:
Dylan Roberts vs. Dirk Feelgood |
In a feud that has
gone on for months, Dylan will finally get a shot in a singles
match against the man that has made life a living hell -
The MasterPlan's Dirk Feelgood. Feelgood has been to great
lengths to try and recruit Dylan into a movement he's called
The MasterPlan since October last year. Dylan rebufed all
Dirks' offers again and again as he and then tag partner
Si Valour fought bravely against the evil MasterPlan duo
of Cameron Kraze and Dirk Feelgood. However, Valour turned
on Dylan as he looked to impress Dirk and appeal to joining
the MasterPlan himself. In a shocking turn of events, former
Heavyweight Champion, Dirk Feelgood slammed the door to
the MasterPlan shut right in Valour's face and announced
he would no longer be conducting his business publicly and
he would recruit his 3rd man "behind the scenes".
Roberts has been on an emotional journey having had his
partner turn on him and himself subject to beat downs and
punishment, not forgetting it was Feelgood who cost him
any chance he had of advancing in the Crazy Cruiser-8 Tournament
2009.
On August 14th, these two will come together in special
grudge match where they will settle their differences for
good. Can good overcome evil, or will Dirk have yet another
plan in place?
8-Man Mega Match:
Jack Gallagher, Fox Carter & Paradise Lost vs. Ricky
J. McKenzie, The Great Suzuki, Vladimir Radkov &
Kristov Eganski |
This huge 8 man match
throws up all sorts of never before seen clashes as 2 time
regaining GPW Tag Team Trophy holders, Paradise Lost team
with CJ Banks protege, Fox Carter and the man formerly known
as Jack Toxic, tag team specialist - Jack Gallagher. An
impressive looking team combine for the first time to take
on an equally impressive looking opposition. The hottest
rookie in the country is starting to mature and find his
place on the roster, Ricky J. McKenzie finds allies in a
former GPW Tag Team Champion - The Great Suzuki along with
Eastern Bloc duo, Vladimir Radkov & Kristov Eganski.
The boys from the Bloc are able to call upon previous tag
team experience with one another to work efficiently but
will all four of their teams individual talents be enough
to defeat Gallagher, Carter & the GPW tag team champions?
And what impact will this have going forward?
Also in the house on August 14th will be GPWs newest superstar
- Leo Love!
GPW Saturday nights are a rare occasion,
even rarer are shows as good looking as this. Kodiak / Ligero
main event, MasterPlan's 3rd member, Grudge Match, Heavyweight
Title announcement, British Title Open Challenge, Singles
Match, 4 Way and an 8 man? All for £7 per person or
£24 for a family of 4.
Those living a distance away put off by travel on our regular
Friday night slots have no excuses this time!

Atherton Rd, Hindley, Wigan WN2 3EU, doors will open at

Bruce Sheila
def. Jak Domitrescu in 9:18
Jak Domitrescu left
his Eastern buddies behind as he took on Bruce Sheila one
on one in this contest. The two have had their horns locked
in battle since Bruce's debut back in February. The crowd
firmly behind Jak thougut they had done enough by cheering
him onto victory, but Bruce caught him with his famed "Outback
Breaker" and took the win. His celebrations turned
into fear however when the rest of The Bloc poured out of
the locker room to remind Bruce that he may have won this
one, but they were going to have the last laugh.

Paradise Lost
def. The Mystics in 15:53
In a brutally hard
hitting contest no bodies were spared in this tag title
spectacle. Never have the GPW Tag Team Tiltes been contested
so violently before. From suicide dives, pineapples, thumbtacks,
handcuffs, ladders and more - this match was not for the
feint hearted. The fans were in full voice throughout and
the atmosphere was electric for this one. After a mistake
by Suzuki however, Paradise Lost were able to capitalise
by handcuffing him to the ring post and isolating Voodoo.
Despite a valliant attempt at a comeback, the writing was
on the wall for The Mystics. With a back full of thumbtacks,
Voodoo's head was put in the ladder and DDT'd to the mat.

Even After
10...
One
of the biggest rivalries to date saw the unstoppable heavyweight
Champion, Juggernaut take on the man who'd missed 12 months
of action because of the champions actions. Juggernaut wasted
no time in centering his attack on the shoulder of El Ligero,
but Ligero was ready for him and soaked up the punishment,
even doling out some of his own as Juggernaut collided with
the ring post shoulder first.

Juggernaut &
El Ligero fought to a double count out draw at 14:17
Soon, everyone in
the Ballroom were on the edge of their seats willing Ligero
on, but it wasn't to be. After the referee was knocked down
by Juggernaut, Tasker involved himself in the match hitting
Ligero with the brief case over the back of the head. Once
the ref regained consciousness the crowd screamed for Ligero
to cover the champ but neither man were able to move and
as the referee administered the 10 count the match ended
in double K.O draw.
Here's what happened
in the Rumble!
This years Mystery Wildcard Entrants were: Leo Love
Sporting a sailors
hat, a feather boa, glittering make up and wearing pink
if you were still in doubt of Leo's sexual orientation then
i think "In The Navy" by The Village People might've
finally given it away. However, this didn't stop the Monaco
immediately cheering him on all the way. Even when he hung
onto the bottom rope where his only defence was blowing
kisses...
i'm sure we've not seen the last of Homo-Sensation Leo Love.

Mothman
Not many Rumbles go by without the bright lights attracting
The Mothman! Mothman returned to GPW with visions of becoming
the No.1 Contender by taking one of the Wildcard spots,
it wasn't to be. Maybe next time for the Mothman!

Jervis Cottonbelly
Much to the
delight of all in attendance the paint sprayer from Derbyshire
with cotton on his belly, Jervis Cottonbelly returned to
GPW doing quite well for himself too! Jervis was up to his
old tricks tying opponents up in holds just long enough
to have a read of his paper and fooling everyone with his
invisible wall. I'm sure Jervis will be back again soon!"

The eventual winner,
DDL has had a very public struggle with motivation, but
it was at the Rumble he decided to go all out taking one
of the Wildcard places and entering No.30 to win it! The
longest time spent in the Rumble this year was by Kodiak
at an impressive 25:19, with Dirk Feelgood coming second
at 24:42. However, no records were broken and still with
the longest ever is Joey Hayes.

Damon Leigh
won the 30 Man Rumble in 53.29
In contrast, the
shortest time in this years Rumble was the Eastern Bloc's
Vladimir Radkov who managed only 45 seconds. But Benson
Richards' 11 seconds is still the shortest. Skullcrusher
had the unfortunate accolade this year as being the first
man eliminated.
Mark Kodiak managed the most eliminations, eliminating 9
people from the Rumble! Juice, the runner up with 3.
