1/ One On One Martin Kirby vs. "Hurricane" John Walters (Former ROH Pure Champion)

John Walters comes to GPW for the very first time to take on one of this years new additions to the roster - Martin Kirby. In a match promoted and paid for by Luke Marsden these two will clash in an intriguing encounter that will capture the imaginations of many. It was at GPW: "Livin On The Edge" where Kirby realised one of his dreams and took on one of the men responsible for getting him into the business - Joey Hayes, and this month he will live the dream once again as he takes on one of the men he looked up to when he was training. Two contrasting careers as Walter tries to re-establish himself as one of the World's premier talents and Kirby tries to climb the ladder of success. Who'll get the better of who in this wonderful looking singles match up?

Breaking news : Ligero Out!! Consecutive shoulder injuries mean Ligero is unable to compete in this and several future GPW shows, Team Captain Bubblegum has replaced him with a new pick for his team

- A former MVP of the A Few Good Men Rumble 2006

- A participant in the 2006 original CC8 tournament

- and a former GPW Tag Team Champion

Who could it be? Check out the updated card and put yourself out of misery.

Who will survive on May 15th!?!?!?

2/ Main Event: Team Tasker vs. Team Bubblegum Juggernaut (Capt.), Keith Myatt & Paradise Lost vs. Bubblegum (Capt.), El Ligero & The Young Offenders

Attorney and Law, Alan Alan Alan Tasker has put together a dangerous and imposing team for this years Only The Strong Survive Main Event. New Heavyweight Champion, He has selected Juggernaut as the team captain and the new Heavyweight Champ will lead a team of vicious, rough and unforgiving fighters into battle against a team chosen by the man he beat for the title last month. Tasker has teamed his monster with newest team on the roster, the team of Heresy and Kastor LeVay - Paradise Lost. Unsuccesful in the attempts to become GPW Tag Team Champions, they're is still a score to be settled with the Young Offenders. To complete Team Tasker, Alan A.A has brought back veteran Keith Myatt to GPW. Myatt fits into this team perfectly.

Unconventional and not afraid to break the rules, Myatt's selection is a very wise one by Tasker. Former Heavyweight Champion, Bubblegum won the Torneo Cibernetico last year and a former winner of the Rumble has proven many times before he can survive against all odds puts together a great looking team. He looked no further than reigning GPW Tag Team Trophy Holders - Damon Leigh & Joey Hayes, The Young Offenders when selecting his team. Since re-joining the the Offenders, both Hayes and Leigh have been better than ever and remain undefeated as champions. If that choice were easy, then the next was even easier as he brings in the man he has enjoyed tag team success with before - El Ligero. Ligero who was put out of action with a shoulder injury twice so far this year by Juggernaut returns to seek revenge. As 4 of the most popular wrestlers on the roster all join forces, could this be the best ever Only The Strong Survive team? There's 4 men that'd argue that, we'll see who is the last man standing on May 15th.

3/ Team Valour vs. The Lethal Easterns Si Valour (Capt.), Dylan Roberts & The Mystics vs. Jac Domitrescu (Capt.), Kris Eganski & Lethal Dose

Si Valour looked no further than the man he was in the ring with last month - Dylan Roberts as the first pick for Team Valour. Despite the two being unsuccesful in the Miss Northwest Invitational 4-Way, they worked well together and this made Valours choice of bringing Roberts into the team an easy one. Both Roberts and Valour will be accompanied by The Great Suzuki and Voodoo, the tag team known as The Mystics. Both men have been working hard in the tag division so far this year and have some excellent chemistry together. Combined, all 4 men pose quite a threat for their opponents. Collectively, Team Valour are creative, passionate and just a little bit magic! The opposition sees the coming together of two worlds - Lethal Dose, Jack Toxic and Cyanide join forces with the men from The Eastern Bloc. Both teams have had their problems with their opposition this year, Captain Domitrescu was last seen banished from the ring when he was defeated by his opposing team captain when a karaoke battle turned nasty. Lethal Dose have had their horns locked in battle with The Mystics for the last several months as both teams have battled it out for tag team dominance. Both the boys from the Bloc and Lethal Dose have proven their ability in the tag ranks and this will serve them well in this type of environment but can the passion of team Valour shine through and become victorious?

4/ Jiggy's Dream Team vs. Team Hope Jiggy Walker (Capt.), The Juice, William Gáylord, Dirk Feelgood vs. Danny Hope (Capt.), Sam Bailey, Ricky J. McKenzie & Chris Echo

Former Mil-Anfield partners Jiggy Walker and Danny Hope choose 3 wrestlers each as they pit their teams against one another on May 15th. Walker looked no further than former GPW Heavyweight Cahmpion, Dirk Feelgood to accompany him in his "Dream Team". The man who took "Super" Sam Bailey to a time limit draw last month for the British Title, The Juice also joins the fray as he once again teams with Walker just as the two did at the original "Only The Strong Survive". Walker has also recruited training school graduate William Gáylord as part of his team. Gáylord, still in his first year, but with breathtaking performances against Sam Bailey and Ricky J. McKenzie it has caught the eye of just about everybody on the roster enough for the "Gent from Kent" to be recruited in this powerful looking team. Gáylord's lack of experience will be more than made up for by his tag team partners, all of whom have competed in these kind of matches before. Gáylord will also offer inside knowledge on some of the opponents on Team Hope, knowledge that surely will prove invaluable in a match like this. Danny Hope, a former sole survivor himself in 2007 has matched Jiggy's Dream Team with his own impressive line up.

Reigning GPW British Champion, "Super" Sam Bailey joins Danny and bring along with him his WKD stable-mate - Chris Echo. Echo, who made a return to the roster last month finds himself back in the thick of things once again as he takes on two old nemisises in this contest. And what Walker can do, Hope can do too as he recruits the man who graduated alongside William Gáylord - Ricky J. McKenzie. RJM has the man on the roster with the most wind in his sails as last month he defeated 3 others and pinned former GPW Heavyweight Champion Dirk Feelgood to win the Miss Northwest 4-Way and acquire the services of the beauty Queen. Much to Dirk's disgust, these two will almost certainly clash again in this test of survival. If the last two Survival shows have been anything to go by then missing this one is nothing short of sinful. Who will survive?
