GPW: "Out For Justice" will see an action packed show featuring title shots, 6 mans, re-matches, debuts and much more.

Main Event - GPW British Title Match: "The Juice" CJ Banks © vs. Joey Hayes

Two of the premier wrestlers in Europe who have flown the flag for Garage Pro Wrestling, and wrestling in the North of England for the last 7 years will do battle for the coveted GPW British Title in a feature one on one match. Juice vs. Joey Hayes. Main Events don't come much bigger than this. These two tore the house down in the final of the CC8 Tournament last year and lit up the Ballroom again at "Back With A Bang" in a MOTN tag match. After Joey pinned Juice for the second consecutive time to win the tag match, he has been deemed No.1 Contender to the British Title and a match has been signed. Joey is no stranger to the Title having held the belt between July and November 2007, but now has his sights set on a second reign in 2010. The Garage Pro Wrestling fans absolutely adore Joey, having watched him grow as a superstar starting from humble beginnings when he first appeared on GPW's debut show over 7 years ago, to the Europe-wide recognised performer he is now. The man standing in the way of a second reign as British Champ is his former SIN stablemate and 2008 CC8 winner "The Juice" CJ Banks. Juice has only been beaten once in singles competition in 17 months, a record that nearly mirrors Joey's own impressive undefeated run from 2004 - 2006. The two men know each other like the back of their hand, and this match has instant classic written all over it. Can Juice prevent Joey getting a second reign as British Champ, or can Joey continue the momentum and pin Juice again - this time to take the GPW British Championship? What will happen in this unmissable main event!?

GPW Heavyweight Title Re-Match: Juggernaut © w/ Alan A.A Tasker vs. "Dangerous" Damon Leigh

"Dangerous" Damon Leigh had waited all his career to get a shot at the GPW Heavyweight Title. However, his attempt to beat Juggernaut last month ended in heartbreak for DDL, his family and his friends. He got so close to beating the monster but was denied in the final stages of the match, leaving DDL dejected, despondent and wearing the heavy weight of disappointment. He told the GPW fans after the match that he "just couldn't do this anymore..." and returned backstage with his head hung, leaving fans to wonder what the future holds. However, due to overwhelming fan support and no official No.1 Contender, it has been decided DDL will get a re-match at "Out For Justice".   Juggernaut is now in his 11 month reign as champion, should he win here he'll have the prestigious honour of being the second longest reigning GPW Heavyweight Champion of all time (TJ Cain the longest with a 462 day reign, Dirk Feelgood currently the second with a 336 day reign). So, needless to say - he won't be going down without giving DDL the fight of his life. Juggernaut is looking as strong and as impressive as ever, and with Alan Tasker in his corner he'll never be short of a trick up his sleeve. But, with a second bite at the cherry can DDL do it this time? He had Juggernaut beaten at "Back With A Bang" but there was no referee to count the 3. Will history repeat itself? Or can Damon finally lift the Heavyweight Title for the first time? These two had a classic last time, don't miss out on what promises to be another emotional encounter. Juggernaut vs. DDL - the re-match!

Tag Team Grudge Match: The MasterPlan vs. Valour & Roberts

This match has been a long time coming for Valour & Roberts. The MasterPlan, Dirk Feelgood and Cameron Kraze have tried their best to split the two up since October last year by launching consistent attempts to recruit Dylan Roberts as a third member of the faction. However, despite their efforts the team have stuck together and Dylan has turned down the multiple offers to join. His faithful partner, Si Valour fought for the teams honour in a one on one match against Feelgood at "Back With A Bang". Even though he won by DQ, Valour took two sickening chair shots to the skull in a 2 on 1 attack during the match, the second of which was delivered with such force that it broke the chair. War hero Dylan suffered the same fate in his match against Cameron Kraze, losing the match after a knock out "Mafia Kick" Dylan was once again targeted throughout the match by Feelgood.
But now, for the first time - Valour & Roberts will have their chance at revenge in a tag team capacity where the sides are even and there's no such thing as the numbers game. Si and Dyaln, who have been teaming together since May last year epitomise courage, bravery and standing up for what's right. Their opposition, Kraze and Feelgood have never teamed together in a tag environment and the pair have taken shortcuts and trod on others toes to get ahead. Courage and honour mean nothing to them but something will have to give when these 4 men collide in this Tag Team Grudge match. If you're going to pick a winner based on experience then look no further than Valour & Roberts. The two have worked well every time they've been paired together, but can their experience overcome the two individuals intent on inflicting pain and exercising violence? Can good defeat evil in this exciting looking tag match...?

Grudge Match: Fox Carter vs. Martin Kirby

These two relative newcomers to the roster have had their horns locked in battle since the CC8. Carter spent all 2009 accompanying Juice to the ring acting as his personal trainer, but the Tournament Quarters were the first time we actually saw him in singles action. He qualified for the Tournament surprising everyone by entering, and winning The Last Chance Battle Royal in October. Martin Kirby made his GPW debut in February 2009 and quickly became the success story of the year. A very impressive 12 months saw a win over American John Walters, two Heavyweight Title shots against Juggernaut, a huge win in "Luke Marsden's Big £10k Battle Royal" all ensuring Kirby took his place in the hearts and minds of every single GPW fan. However, a near perfect year was cut short at the hands of Fox Carter as he put the breaks on Kirby advancing in the CC8.
The two first met at the Quarter Finals of the CC8 where Fox was beaten and subsequently knocked out of the Tournament by Kirby and this didn't sit well with Fox. He attacked Kirby whilst he made his entrance to the ring for the Semi Final to take on Juice. The attack severely hampered any chance Kirby had in getting to the Final. At "Back With A Bang", the two met again, this time in tag team action. Kirby gained some measure of revenge, but there are still serious issues between these two. Revenge is due in bucket loads in this special Grudge Match. Can Kirby get another perfect year underway with a win here, or will Fox upset plans again?

Six Man Tag: El Ligero & The Mystics vs. Darkside & Paradise Lost

Two different worlds collide in this intriguing 6-Man Tag. The colourful looking team of El Ligero, Voodoo and Suzuki team up for the first time to take on dark and sinister looking opposition in the form of Darkside, Heresy and Kastor LeVay. Issues a plenty here as it was Darkside who pulled Ligero off the apron on the 9 count allowing RJM to pick up the win in the New Year's Honours 4-Way. The two returning superstars had clashed several times throughout the 4-way, both trying to re-establish themselves on the roster after lengthily periods away. They will have another chance at establishment on March 19th as they meet again here in this huge 6-Man Tag!
Tag Team Champions, Paradise Lost confirmed the tag division is intact during their interview on Feb 19th and that they will continue to defend their championship. Viable contenders to that trophy look to be Suzuki and Voodoo - The Mystics. The Mystics have been singled out by Heresy as being responsible for the fractured skull he suffered in the 8-Man Heavyweight Clash in November. They did nothing to mend any bridges at "Back With A Bang" as an attempt to cheer Heresy up backfired in epic fashion and he and partner Kastor LeVay pounced on the fun loving Suzuki and Voodoo. The Mystics however had Paradise Lost on the run in the end though and have proven they have the measure of both Heresy and LeVay. Plenty of never before seen clashes in this one, who will have their hand raised at the end though? Who will establish themselves as the dominant force, Darkside or Ligero? And can The Mystics upset the tag team champions for a second time?

Re-Match: William Gáylord vs. Danny Hope

Danny Hope scored a win out of nowhere at "Back With A Bang" in his first meeting with William Gáylord after reversing the "Perfectly Gáy-Plex" into an inside cradle to get the 1,2,3. But, the result didn't sit well with the Kings Hill resident. Upset at the loss, Gáylord went onto confront an audience member during the raffle, threatening him to a "bloody good hiding" and challenging them to a "dual". Danny Hope came to the fans rescue and offered Gáylord the chance to fight him again in a re-match to be held at GPW: "Out For Justice". Gáylord accepted the challenge and here we have our match. Can Danny get the better of Gáyord for the second consecutive month? Or can Gáylord make it 1 - 1 in this growing rivalry?

Bruce Sheila Debuts:   Bruce Sheila vs. "The Biggest, Meanest, Strongest Competitor To Ever Step Foot In A Wrestling Ring..."

Bruce Sheila's maiden voyage in a GPW ring couldn't have gone much worse than it did at "Back With A Bang". Making instant enemies with anyone with English blood in their veins, Sheila insulted "the pommies" by telling them the Aussies were better at just about everything compared to them. Claiming Wigan Rugby League wouldn't even be in existence if it weren't for his fellow countrymen, and the only reason he'd come to GPW was to prove to the world that Australians were better at wrestling as well as everything else. He promised that on March 19th at "Out For Justice" he'd take on what he called "the biggest, meanest, strongest competitor to ever step foot in a wrestling ring" to prove to everyone just how good he is. So, at "Out For Justice" we're set to see just how good Bruce is. Who might his opponent be? Will Bruce be shown up again? Or can he convince the wrestling world that Aussies are better at wrestling too?

GPW, A Grade Above The Rest.

We promised we'd be Back With A Bang, and on Friday 19th - we didn't disappoint!
258 rabid fans braved the cold, shunned Eastenders and filled the Ballroom to see the start of another year of thrills, spills, twists, turns and first class wrestling at our signature come back show - "Back With A Bang!" The GPW faithful were in full voice as they came alive like they have year after year and filled the Monaco Ballroom with the unique atmosphere GPW live events have become reknown for. Ring announcer Sam Shaw kicked the night off with a look back at the year that was 2009 in a video which can be seen here.

Ricky J. McKenzie vs. "Super" Sam Bailey vs. Darkside vs. El Ligero

"RJM Counts To 9 & Makes It On The '10 Honours List..."

With appetites whet, it was time to get straight to the action in true GPW style - a 4-way. The winner of this match was to receive the chance to challenge anyone at anytime - anywhere! After 12mins 24secs Ricky J. McKenzie risked life and limb with a 450 from the inside to the out, missing the guardrails and taking out his opposition of Darkside, "Super" Sam Bailey and El Ligero. As all competitors laid outside the ring immobile the referee had no choice but to start the 10 count. On 8 Ligero and RJM emerged from the pile of bodies and began to haul themselves onto the apron. As the referee got to 9, Darkside jumped up and pulled Ligero by the tights off the apron costing him the win and allowing RJM to slide into the ring and claim victory before the referee reached the 10 count. An important victory for a man who had only made his pro debut 1 day short of 12 months ago. Now RJM has the right to challenge anyone, anywhere - at any time!

Singles Match: William Gáylord vs. Danny Hope

"Gáylord Loses Hope..."

Another man who had made a huge impression just shy of 12 months ago was William Gáylord. Fans erupted with familiar chants of "Gaaaaaaylord! You're a Gaaaaaylord!" before he'd even come through the curtain! It's nice to be back.. However, never one to be shaken by the jeers of the crowd, Gáylord arrogantly made his entrance to the ring whilst quick to point out to the chanters that there is an affliction on the "á" in his name and it was actually pronounced "G'Lord"...
As Gáylord was making his debut 12 months ago, his opponent Danny Hope was breaking up with his tag partner, Jiggy Walker. He became embroiled in a year long battle against his former partner and as a result fans embraced Danny as their one of their own. When his music hit, the roof was raised in 2010 as it had been all 2009. Once underway, Gáylord might've given Hope more of a battle than he was expecting, but Danny proved he was the wiser of the two managing to reverse the "Perfectly Gáy-Plex" into an inside cradle for the 1,2,3 after 8mins 42secs of action. Gáylord was angry at losing a match he seemingly had under control but this only compounded the chants he was greeted by when first making his entrance. He was showered once again with "Gaaaaaylord, you're a Gaaaaaaylord" by the loving GPW crowd.
Later in the evening, during the raffle, Gáylord interrupted crowd member and birthday boy Pat, (who was chosen from the audience to draw the raffle) by challenging him to a "dual", where he threatened to give him a "bloody good hiding!". Just as Gáylord squared up to Pat and pushed him, Danny Hope's music once again had fans on their feet as he came to the ring to defend Pat and offer Gáylord the chance to a re-match at our next show, March 19th GPW: "Out For Justice".

Bruce's Beach Shack: Bruce Sheila Arrives In GPW

"Ginsters & Giros."

When Bruce Sheila heard he'd be making his GPW debut, I doubt he'd ever have imagined it'd have gone like it did! As the batteries died on the microphone, so did Bruce's chances of making a good impression with the Wigan crowd. He claimed Australians were better than "the pommies" at cricket, soccer, rugby and athletics and he was in GPW to prove that they are better at wrestling too... going onto claim that Wigan's very proud and famous local Rugby League team wouldn't even be in existence if it wasn't for the Aussies... He then informed the crowd that next month, March 19th he would have his in ring debut against what he called "the biggest, meanest, strongest competitor to ever have stepped foot in a wrestling ring." However, by that point he had monumentally failed to impress or endear himself to the crowd. Eventually the jeers and boos gave way to intrigue as Elton John's "Made In England" blarrred through the speakers. Who was this? Who could it be? Surely not? Yes, yes it was - it was the Eastern Bloc. Headed by Jak Domitrescu and flanked by Vladimir Radkov and Cristov Eganski the Bloc had made enemies of the entire GPW roster and fan base since first appearing in March 2008 claiming to be in the "U.S.K for your money, your titles and your women!".
As a bemused audience looked on trying to figure out what the Bloc might want, Jak Domitrescu took the slowly dying microphone off Bruce Sheila to give him some advice on how to behave in the "U.S.K". Whilst proudly brandishing a giro he pointed out some of the countries benefits saying that he and the rest of the Eastern Bloc had a lot to be thankful for these days. "The Great U.S.K has given us houses, money and best of all - we found a little, little pastry snack known as Ginster's Pies" here in Wigan!" he professed. To which the audience impulsively responded with a deafening chant of "Ginsters Pies! Ginsters Pies! Ginsters Pies!" We've had some strange chants in the Ballroom before, but that has to be among the strangest! The Bloc then took exception to how Bruce had bad mouthed their newly adopted local rugby team and unveiled (beneath their ill-fitting shell suits and tracksuits) their new look for 2010 - Wigan Rugby League tops circa 1993/94.... it was more than Bruce's ego would allow, he'd been shown up and the crowd had been firmly won over by the Eastern Bloc. Bruce reacted by attacking Domitrescu before leaving the ring. Despite having been attacked, The Eastern Bloc basked in their new-found fan adulation as Sheila skulked off to the chants of "Ginsters! Ginsters!". We will wait to see just who Sheila will make his debut against next month...One On One:

Si Valour vs. Dirk Feelgood

"Valour Wins, But The Score Is MasterPlan 1 Valour & Roberts 0.

" The bad blood between these two was on display for all to see in this heated one on one match. Valour, a man known for his courage and honour was fighting for the honour of his tag team. He wasted no time in getting to grips with GPW's number one antagonist - Dirk Feelgood. He went after Feelgood with the heavy artillery from the opening bell as he caught the former Heavyweight Champ unawares in the early going. However, whilst scaling the top rope looking for his "Si-Of-Relief" it gave Feelgood the chance to counter with a suplerplex and begin to make his mark on the match. A late attempt by Si to come back into the match was foiled by a cunning Feelgood ploy where he slid out of the ring, cohearsing Si into following him, when on the outside he lured him into a sickening chair shot that cracked across his skull. Fellow MasterPlan member, Cameron Kraze then appeared as the two delivered a heinous beating on the outside of the ring. Having already thrown any chance of winning the match away by such a blatant depature from the rules, they saw fit to continue the beating. They rolled Valour's body inside the ring before hitting him a second time over the head with the same chair, this time with so much force - it broke in two after meeting his head. But, Feelgood hadn't finished there, he picked up Si's limp body and gave him the "Anaesthetic DDT" to add insult to an already beaten and battered Si Valour. Tag partner, Dylan Roberts came out to even up the odds and stop the MasterPlan injuring Si further, but it was too late. The damage had already been done. He may not of looked like a winner at the end of it, but Si Valour won by DQ after 12mins 14secs.

Paradise Lost Interview: The Future Of The Tag Division

"If You're Happy & You Know It, Clap Your Hands." (CLAP, CLAP!!)

GPW Tag Team Champions, Kastor LeVay and Heresy, made their way to the ring to answer the question on their future and the future of the tag division following Heresy's career threatening injury in November. Heresy said it wasn't the end - it was the beginning as people may finally start to believe in his words because he has proven it by being able to rise again. Heresy blamed Voodoo and The Great Suzuki, The Mystics for the injury and said the tag division would be alive for as long as The Mystics had a heartbeat and that Paradise Lost would continue to defend their Tag Team Trophy. The Mystics, Voodoo and Suzuki came out to attempt to cheer Heresy up with a special sing-a-long video package. The video depicted a smiling Heresy in cartoon land with the lyrics to "If You're Happy And You Know It" below. To complete a night of strange chants, the Ballroom erupted in full chorus singing along: "If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands..." Not surprisingly, this backfired for The Mystics and Paradise Lost weren't happy at all. The Mystics reverted to Plan B as Voodoo promised Heresy he could fix his broken face by giving him a new one, all he needed to do was cast a spell. As the spell was cast, Suzuki sneaked up behind Heresy and put a latex elephants mask over his head. The Ballroom once again erupted, this time with laughter as Voodoo came off the top rope and hit the "Voodoo-Go-Round". The Mystics didn't have it their way for long though as the monster LeVay caught Suzuki with a spear. However, The Mystics managed to get the last laugh after catching Heresy with "The Spell Binder" leaving Paradise Lost to exit the ring and regroup.

One On One: Cameron Kraze vs. Dylan Roberts

"Dylan Chooses War Over Peace. MasterPlan 2 Valour & Roberts 0."

Prior to this match starting, Dirk Feelgood had accompanied Cameron Kraze to the ring to give Dylan yet another ultimatum. He appealed to Dylan's better nature, making light of the fact Dylan had served in Iraq and Afghanistan for 5 years as a soldier, and that it was this kind of bravery he wanted in The MasterPlan. Dylan's answer was still no. He then threatened Dylan with the same beating he'd given Si Valour earlier in the evening if he didn't back out of the match and join with him and Cameron. The crowd got behind Dylan like never before, as he rebuffed Dirk's offer for the final time. Mindful of the fact he could well be entering into a 2 on 1 situation just as Si had done, Dylan refused to back down and took on Cameron as planned.
Dylan looked to be on a roll and have Cameron on the backfoot before Dirk interjected himself into the match giving Kraze the upper hand. Dirk got some form of comeuppance when he tried to distract Dylan again, but Dylan kicked him away. However, the damage was done, and gave way for Cameron to deliver "The Mafia Kick", knocking Dylan out cold and scoring the 1,2,3 for his first win in GPW after 12mins 57secs.

Special Feature CC8 Tag Match: "The Juice" CJ Banks & Fox Carter vs. Martin Kirby & Joey Hayes

"Hayes Banks Another Win Over CJ."

Put these names into any scenario and they'll deliver, so for this match to have been given the MOTN accolade was perhaps only a surprise for new comer Fox Carter as he proved he can hang with the big boys. He has looked impressive since making his debut in October 2009. Formerly Juice's personal trainer turned pro wrestler, he had attacked Kirby in the CC8 Semi Final whilst Kirby faced Juice, severely hampering Kirby's chances of reaching the Final. The attack was a result of Kirby having knocked Carter out of the tournament in the Quarter Finals just one match earlier. And Joey of course had pinned his former SIN stablemate Juice in the final of the tournament to be crowned the CC8 2009 Champion. So there was plenty to get your teeth into in this match up!
Juice may have lost in the CC8 final, but that was his only defeat in 17 months, and he still had the British Title round his waste. He and Fox had every reason to feel confident and vengeful as they made their entrance for the match ahead. However, it was Carter who was targeted in the early going as Joey and Kirby worked well together in an attempt to isolate Carter and expose any weakness he may have. However, despite some impressive innovative silky smooth tag team sequences, Fox was able to get the tag to the GPW British Champion, Juice. Juice's entry in the match provided glimpses of the 2009 CC8 Tournament once again as he traded blows with both his semi finalist opposition (Kirby) and his final opposition (Hayes) and swung the match back in favour of he and his partner, Fox. The upper hand wouldn't last and confusion settled in when Juice pinned Martin Kirby who he thought to be the legal man, when infact the legal man was poised for a cross body on the top rope. That man is the 2009 CC8 Champion and the man the Ballroom had been going nuts for all night long - Joey Hayes. Joey hit the "Hi-5 Cross Body" to score the win over the British Champion after 14mins 14secs.

Since becoming the No.1 Con

GPW Heavyweight Title Match: "Dangerous" Damon Leigh vs. Juggernaut © w/ Alan A.A Tasker

"8 Years In The Making... 3 Seconds In The Breaking."

Since becoming the No.1 Contender in September 2009, DDL has been on the campaign trail gathering momentum and support for his pending title clash against champion, Juggernaut. Appearing regularly on BBC Radio Manchester and local TV, DDL looked toward a match that had been 8 and a half years in the making. In an illustrious career that has seen Damon ply his trade all over the UK and Europe and brought him high praise wherever he has performed. However, Damon Leigh had never, ever had a shot at a Heavyweight Title. A former GPW Tag Team Champion and 4 time GPW British Champion, the Heavyweight title has always eluded him. Feb 19th was his chance to capture the gold for the first time, but...
... it wasn't to be. Juggernaut, now in his 11 month as champion reigned dominant once again, just as he has done since winning the title from Bubblegum in April 2009. Despite a heroic effort from DDL, who was repeatedly slammed on the hard Ballroom floor throughout the match, his efforts were not enough. At one point during the match it looked as though DDL had the monster beaten and the championship won after hitting the "Diamond Dust", but the referee had been knocked down following an earlier Death Valley attempt and there was no one to count the 3. Alan Tasker was brought into the ring (much to the fans applause) and given a "SlamBreaker". All DDL had to do was cover the champ for 3, with all the momentum mounted in his favour his title campaign was abruptly stopped in its tracks when Juggernaut rose to his feet and hit his signature lariat for the 3 count on DDL. 3 seconds was all it took to shatter DDL's dreams.

Still GPW Heavyweight Champion - Juggernaut.

The Damon Leigh fans had come in their droves to see "Dangerous" Damon Leigh in a true return to form as he delivered the type of first class, emotional main event this company have become famous for. Despite the loss, the crowds support was unwaivered as they chanted "DDL! DDL! DDL!" long into the night. As Juggernaut exited the ring with his title belt, Damon was left visibaley dejected in the ring. Ring announcer Sam Shaw caught a few words with him following the gutting defeat. DDL had this to say to the GPW fans: "I'm sorry. I'm sorry to everyone who has supported me. To everyone here tonight, i've let you down and i'm so sorry...... i, i just don't think i can do this anymore..." He then walked backstage leaving his fans wondering what the future holds for "Dangerous" Damon Leigh.
