show :GPW:
"Alive & Amplified"
- Saturday : 14th August 2010 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!
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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".
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? Photography

Good Men" an unforgettable night and proving why GPW
is so good. Certainly one of our best shows. Bruce
Wins The Battle, The Bloc Win The War...
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.
Cyanide def. Mini Iron Mike Holmes in 2:47 Two Times The Paradise...
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...
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!
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...

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.

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. 1 DIRK FEELGOOD eliminated
by Dylan Roberts @ 24.42 We are taking pre-orders
for "A Few More, Good Men"
I know we're a bit behind on the blogs, but i'm hoping the break will give me a chance to catch up and once i have, you'll be able to see the reasoning behind the booking and why some things have happened. Sometimes, things aren't that simple. And, as i'm sure you're aware - no wrestler ever leaves the business for good! May 21st Garage Pro
Wrestling will present their third 30 MAN RUMBLE!! The winner of the rumble will be determined No.1 Contender to the GPW Heavyweight Title. There will be some announced names, but also some surprises throughout the night. But, before we look who's entering, the Rumble isn't the only thing happening on May 21st... here's the rest of the card:
In what promises
to be a match for the ages, No.1 Contender El Ligero takes
on dominant Heavyweight Champion - Juggernaut. After making
his GPW debut nearly 7 years ago - this will be Ligero's
first ever shot at the Heavyweight title, and whats more
- it will be against the man who put him out of action for
over 11 months. Or will Juggernaut
stop him in his tracks?
The fun and games are over. The situation between these two rival teams got really serious when The Mystics surprised everyone with a win at GPW: "Jam Hot!" and became new tag team champions. However, they will have to defend their newly won titles against the former champs in a No Holds Barred tag match as Paradise Lost invoke their right to a re-match clause.
Imagine a man so
disliked, the GPW faithful start to cheer for a group of
Eastern Europeans instead of him, then you've got Bruce
Sheila. Main Event - The Rumble

Danny Hope Danny's stock rose yet again this year after coming out on top in his feud with William Gáylord. A seasoned rumble competitor he has appeared in both and was the winner of the inaugural Last Chance Battle Royal in 2006. One half of the longest reigning GPW Tag Team Champions, Danny wants to add more gold to his name with a win here. Luck has been with him with previous draws having entered No.25 in 2006 and No.18 in 2007. A good number here may be all Danny needs to win.
Ricky J. McKenzie The fastest rising star on the roster threw his name in the hat for the rumble last month. Having already competed for the Heavyweight title once this year, RJM is keen to get himself another shot. This will be the first rumble appearance for Ricky J. - with luck on his side, could this be the time for RJM?Jack Toxic After an eye catching performance in 2007 entering No.4 and lasting 34 minutes and 53 seconds, Jack Toxic will be hoping for a higher number this year. Having already won a Last Chance Battle Royal in 2008, Toxic has proven he has the tools to last in this kind of environment. His leverage and low centre of gravity surely make him an underdog in the 2010 Rumble.
Mark Kodiak A series of haunting
video packages sent a message to GPW that after 3 years
away from The Ballroom, Mark Kodiak will return at this
years Rumble. The "Grizzly Renegade" last appeared
in June 2007 but drew No.2 in the 2006 Rumble. Never failing
to strike fear in the hearts of many, his pending return
has already rendered the same effect. The dynamic and impressive
Kodiak has promised to destroy the roster at the Rumble,
easily one of the favourites to win - what will happen when
Kodiak returns?
