Breaking
news : GPW CARPE DIEM RESULTS!!!
After a warm welcome from the ring announcer Sam Shaw in
front of a sellout crowd at the Monaco Ballroom, it was
time to see GPW once again seize the day, without further
ado onto the opening match.
Martin
Kirby def Cyanide in 6:38
New
GPW superstar kicked off the show with an impressive performance
against the monstrous Cyanide. This was a grudge match of
sorts because at the last show Kirby defeated Cyanides partner
in crime, Jack Toxic. In the early going, Kirby tried everything
he could to knock the big man of his feet but it was not
to be as Cyanide then took control with a little help from
AAA Tasker and Jack Toxic. However, Kirby managed to overcome
the odds and roll up Cyanide for the victory to keep his
winning streak going.
Heresy
def The Great Suzuki in 5:51
Heresy was back in
action after opening the show last month with an win over
Chris Echo but that doesn’t seem to have improved
his mood at all as he battered Suzuki throughout the match
with a succession of punches and slams. At one point Voodoo
tried to help his new associate but Heresy responded by
dropkicking Voodoo to the floor below. In the end, despite
a good effort by Suzuki. Heresy’s new neckbreaker
finisher was enough to put the young upstart away. Heresy
was again victorious but this would not be the last we would
see of him on this occasion.
Luke Marsden made an appearance, but Jiggy Walker interrupted
to give him abuse. Danny Hope came out to make the save
then challenged his former partner to a match. Jiggy teased
accepting, but bailed. Hope chased, got a few shots in,
then the entire locker-room prevented a continued brawl
but Danny promised he would settle the score with his former
ally at the next show, Living on the Edge, March 20th.
The
Young Offenders def The Eastern Bloc (Jak & Kristov)
with a combo teenage kick/risk factor in 10:12
The Young Offenders
took a light hearted approach to the match in the early
going, embarrassing the Bloc with the dreaded rowing machine
move and also Damon pushed Jack over who then fell over
Joey Hayes who was behind Jack. The match soon got serious
however when Joey made a mistake and the Bloc isolated Joey
from Damon. The crowd rallied behind the new trophy holders
giving Joey the strength to make the tag to DDL who hit
the ring and cleaned house. Despite the Bloc’s best
efforts this would not be there night as Egan fell victim
to the Teenage Kick and the Risk Factor and the new champions
kicked off their title reign in style.
Before the champs could celebrate however, out came Heresy
with a mic in hand. Heresy said that he blamed DDL and Joey
for his bad luck and vowed to drive them out of GPW saying
he had found someone who be LIE ved in him. Who could this
person be? Only time will tell.
The Juice def Si Valour in 4:02
After the interval
it was time for the British title contract signing featuring
the champion, Sam Bailey and the number 1 contender, the
Juice. Before Juice could put pen to paper however, Si Valour
hit the ring and challenged Juice to put his status on the
line one more time against him. Juice agreed and the match
was on. Valour came close to defeating the Juice on several
occasions, hitting the Si of Relief and the Urinage but
the distraction by Juice’s new trainers enabled Juice
to get the win with an O’Connor roll. Juice then signed
the contract; the match will take place on April 18th.
William Gaylord def Ricky J McKenzie in 9:32
In the penultimate
match of the evening it was time for the debut of the top
2 graduates in the GPW training school who did not disappoint.
William Gaylord was the cockier of the two men, who seemingly
reveled in the dirty tactics he employed throughout the
match. Ricky McKenzie was the high flier and the more charismatic
of the trainees who won over the fans not long after the
opening bell. Both men opened the bout with some textbook
chain wrestling but their individuality soon shone through
as William tried to keep the bout on the mat while Ricky
used several aerial type moves for near falls. Gaylord triumphed
in the end though, catching McKenzie off guard with a fisherman’s
suplex trapping his shoulders to the mat for a three count.
Bubblegum
def Dirk Feelgood
to retain the GPW title in a Falls Count Anywhere match
in 27:45
Main event time next
and what a main event it was. There was clearly no doubt
how much these two men hated each other and it did not take
long for the bout to spill out into the crowd where the
two brawled among the fans. At one point Bubblegum even
used the wall of the venue to his advantage as a springboard
to attack his challenger. There were soon some worried faces
in the Ballroom as Dirk and Bubblegum brawled on the balcony
and tragedy almost struck when Bubblegum fell from the ledge!
Displaying an unprecendented display of tenacity and sheer
determination, this did not stop the champion who continued
to fight with Dirk as the two found themselves back in the
ring. Dirk and Bubblegum gave it everything they had, Dirk
hitting a superplex on the champion but could not put him
away. Dirks signature moves, the Rug Cutter and the Anasthetic
could not stop the champion either, nor could Bubblegum
put Dirk away with his Bubblestar press! As people wondered
who would prevail in a match that no doubt many will take
about for years to come, Bubblegum grabbed the chair that
Dirk had attempted to use and after a series of brutal kicks
to the temple, placed it across Dirk’s head before
kicking Dirk one more time, with the chair in place for
added impact. With his last ounce of strength Bubblegum
pinned Dirk and the referee counted the 1, 2,3 and this
tremendous war was over.
In the aftermath, AAA Tasker returned with The Juggernaught
and declared war on the champion with actions rather then
words as he suplexed Bubblegum from one side of the ring
to the other. Before further damage could be done to the
champion his good friend, El Ligero made a surprise appearance
and cleared the ring of the Nigerian monster. Nevertheless
the message has been sent, will Bubblegum give Juggernaught
a shot at the GPW title? You shall have to attend the next
show to find out as this and so many more questions will
only be answered on March 20th. We hope to see you there!
Luke
Marsden will return to the Monaco Ballroom
for the first time since coming out of the Big Brother
house.
It was
with us where Luke was first of all thrust into the public
eye and cut his teeth as our ring announcer before he went
onto entertain the nation as a contestant in last year's
Big Brother. With Luke and Miss Northwest in the house,
it's almost easy to forget this great line up:

Luke
Marsden will return to the Monaco Ballroom
for the first time since coming out of the Big Brother
house.
It was
with us where Luke was first of all thrust into the public
eye and cut his teeth as our ring announcer before he went
onto entertain the nation as a contestant in last year's
Big Brother. With Luke and Miss Northwest in the house,
it's almost easy to forget this great line up:

British
Title Contract Signing
Reigning GPW British Champion "Super" Sam
Bailey
Who captured the title
2 months ago at "Christmas Crunch" after defeating
The Eastern Bloc's Jac Domitrescu. On the same night Juice
overcame 3 opponents in a 4-way to determine who would be
Bailey's first challenger. After succesfully defending that
right last month against Dylan Roberts in a singles match,
Juice is now ready to put pen to paper for a date on this
imminent match for the title. Don't miss this as two of
our biggest rising stars come face to face over the title!
Grudge
Match
Martin Kirby vs. Cyanide w/ Jack Toxic
New arrival, Martin Kirby got his GPW career off to a winning
start last month against Jack Toxic, but he hasn't seen
the last of Lethal Dose just yet! Toxic's partner, Cyanide
has issued another challenge to the newcomer this month.
Kirby faired very well on his first outing, but it's a very
different type of opponent this time round. How will Kirby
fair against a bigger man? Can he make it 2 in 2 and overcome
the big man Cyanide? Or can Cyanide get revenge for his
teamates loss last month?
Danny
Hope / Jiggy Walker in the building!!
Last month we saw
the giants of the GPW tag team division implode in infatic
fashion as Hope be-headed his former tag team partner with
a sick Cat Walk Kick. Losing the titles they had carried
since July 2007 was enough to tear the most successful tag
team in GPW history apart. "Back With A Bang 2009"
ended with the GPW faithful coming alive with chants of
"Danny! Danny! Danny!" as the aggressive Walker
wouldn't allow his partner to hand over the trophy to the
Young Offenders, the crowd exploded when Hope finally struck
Jiggy with his trademark superkick - The Cat Walk Kick and
took his head off. Nothing has yet been signed, but these
two will be in the building on Feb 20th, i'll leave you
to come and see for yourself what happens!
Graduates
Debut
William Gaylord vs. Ricky J. McKenzie
Who? These two are
the latest graduates from the GPW training system. The same
system that has produced names such as Joey Hayes, DDL,
TJ Cain, Roxi, Jiggy Walker, Juice, Chris Echo, Danny Hope,
Voodoo and most recently - Dylan Roberts and Juggernaut.
The same system that has produced and exported more European
talent than any other school in the UK. Gaylord and McKenzie
will follow in the footsteps of their predecessors, and
GPW: "Carpe Diem" will be their first chance to
sieze the day.
William Gaylord arrives in GPW with silver spoon firmly
in his mouth. Boasting of a privileged upbringing in Kings
Hill, Kent and a bank account to match, this latest graduate's
strenghts lie in his strong technical ability. However,
there are dark shades of rugged, stiff and unforgivng offence.
Not afraid to stand toe to toe with his most accomplished
of adversaries, he's also not afraid to get nasty and brawl
when needs be.
His opponent, Ricky J. McKenzie could not be more of a polar
opposite. Coming from a broken one parent home where he
never knew is own mother he is the eldest of 3 brothers
and 2 sisters and has fought all his life. With no parental
guidance, it's been hard to stay on the straight and narrow
and he eventually left school at 14 to look after his siblings
full time. Years later, he has realised the dream that has
kept his spirit alive and becomes a pro wrestler on Feb
20th. Suvival for the streetwise youngster isn't just a
word - it's a way of life. McKenzie has all the tools to
light up the Ballroom, innovation, energy and a burning
passion to win. Don't miss your first look at these two
latest graduates, I gaurantee you - you'll be hearing their
names a lot in the future.
2008 was our 5th
and, argubley our best year in business. It brought you
unrivalled super shows such as "V", "Only
The Strong Survive" "Crazy Cruiser-2008"
and "Christmas Crunch" to mention just a few.
It saw ground breaking matches such as the Tornedo Cibernetico,
the development of tomorrows talent like Juice, Dylan Roberts,
Juggernaut, Chris Echo, Voodoo and more.
The in ring return of TJ Cain and emotional homecoming of
Joey Hayes were just two of the highlights from an unforgettable
year that also saw the twisting and turning path that Darkside,
Johnny Phere, Bubblegum and Dirk Feelgood all ventured down
in an attempt to become heavyweight champion.
Did you miss it? Don't worry, you can catch up on with our
DVD back catalogue - http://stores.ebay.co.uk/GPW-Wrestling
