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"...

Friday September 17th sees Grand Pro Wrestling present the 4th instalment of our annual "Thriller" show.
Traditionally, "Thriller" shows have provided shocks and surprises that have shaken the foundations of the promotion. Unexpected title changes, unexpected results, wild impromptu venue wide brawls, impromptu classics, even impromptu 30 man Rumbles have all happened in the three Thrillers before this. So, that should have you asking yourself - what the hell is going to happen this year!?

"Friday Night Thriller IV" will be held at The Monaco Ballroom, Atherton Road, Hindley, Wigan WN2 3EU. Doors will open at 7, show will start at 7:30. Tickets are only £7 per person, or £24 for a family of 4!!

Here's how the full card stacks up:

Main Event Semi Final Leg 2: "Dangerous" Damon Leigh vs. Dave Mastiff w/ Alan A.A Tasker

Following the injury and subsequent retirement of former Heavyweight Champion, Juggernaut a 4 man tournament was set up to crown a new Grand Pro Wrestling Heavyweight Champion. Mark Kodiak, El Ligero, "Dangerous" Damon Leigh and Alan A.A Tasker were the men deemed entitled to a chance at winning it. Kodiak, the last man eliminated by eventual Rumble winner DDL. El Ligero, the man who fought to a draw against Juggernaut in May. DDL, the winner of the 30 Man Rumble, and the retiring champions' manager - Alan A.A Tasker.
Not allowed to compete himself, Tasker was given the chance to keep the belt in his court if he were able to register a new client in time to compete, and he has. The man Tasker has chosen is GPW debutant, Big Dave Mastiff. Tasker is now just one step away from keeping the title with him as he pins his hopes on his latest client, Dave Mastiff. With a proven track record for winning gold for his clients, there's every chance Tasker and his new man Mastiff could break DDL fans' hearts and advance to the final. Tasker has chosen a man no one knows how to handle, Mastiff is an unknown quantity and has to be seen as the favourite in this.
For former multiple time British Champion and Tag Champion, "Dangerous" Damon Leigh it's another hurdle. The only title to evade him in his 10 year career has been the Heavyweight Championship and every time he gets close, the title seemingly becomes further away. He is one win away from being able to compete for the championship. Can DDL defeat the man making his GPW debut, or will there be more set backs for Damon?

Tag Team Match: The MasterPlan vs. Joey Hayes & Mystery Partner

The MasterPlan grew in numbers as Dirk Feelgood faced Dylan Roberts last month. Jiggy Walker jumped the barricade and slid into the ring to take out Dylan's knee with a sickly chair shot revealing himself to be The MasterPlan's 3rd member. Following the chair shot, whilst in Figure of Feelgood Dylan eventually passed out and the match was awarded to Feelgood. The newly formed trio of MasterPlan members delivered a vile 3 man beatdown on Dylan before Joey Hayes ran to his aid and made a challenge to former GPW Heavyweight Champion, Dirk Feelgood. The challenge was for a one on one match, to which Feelgood turned down citing having already eliminated Joey from the Rumble in May he'd already proven he was better than him. Joey persisted and Dirk cut him a deal, if he could find a tag team partner for "Friday Night Thriller IV" he would fight him in a tag team match. Dirk and Cameron will have Jiggy Walker at their side as they taken on Joey and a mystery partner.
Who can Joey rely on? Will Dylan's knee have healed in time for him to partner Joey? Is there someone from the roster he can count on, or does Joey have to look further a field to find a tag partner to defeat The MasterPlan?

"The Juice" CJ Banks British Title Open Challenge

GPW British Champion, "The Juice" CJ Banks will issue yet another open challenge at "Friday Night Thriller IV" to anyone he hasn't faced before. You'd be forgiven in thinking that this whole Open Challenge orchestrated by Banks is a set up from the start if what happened at "Alive & Amplified" was anything to go by. Just as his challenge was accepted by Danny Hope, Banks' associate Fox Carter made sure Hope didn't even make it to the ring. As both Banks and Carter celebrated, it was Martin Kirby who surprised them and took up the challenge instead. With Carter sent to the back, Kirby and Banks battled it out one on one and Kirby surprised everybody by beating the champ with a victory roll to become the new GPW British Champion....or not. Banks immediately snatched the title back and declared that the match was never a title match. It was Danny Hope who'd accepted the title match challenge, Kirby hadn't won anything.
With this kind of underhand approach to the Open Challenge, what will Juice have in store this time? Is there anyone who can take him on at his own game and beat him to become the new British Champion?

British Title No.1 Contenders Match: Danny Hope vs. Fox Carter

Danny Hope accepted CJ Banks' Open Challenge at "Alive & Amplified" only to be jumped by his associate and personal trainer - Fox Carter. Carter viciously DDT'd Danny on the rampway before he'd even had chance to make it to the ring. With the whole open challenge smelling like a set up from the start, Danny has now issued a challenge to the man who stopped him in his tracks, but not just in any match - this match will determine the new No.1 Contender to the GPW British Championship.
Relative new comer Fox Carter has already made waves on the roster but being the No.1 Contender to the British title would surely seal his arrival onto the stage of professional wrestling. And of course, should Banks be successful in his Open Challenge it would certainly offer up an interesting scenario if Fox should win here. Likewise if Banks didn't win. Should Banks lose to whoever takes up his challenge you can guarantee he'll task Fox in getting the belt back for him. Should Danny's armed be raised at the end, he will have the chance to challenge the British Champion for a title he has never competed for before. With so many possible outcomes and down the line scenarios - who will come out the No.1 Contender to the British Title?

One On One: El Ligero vs. Jack Gallagher

Two men looking to re-establish themselves in the GPW rankings will meet each other in singles competition for only the second time. Their first meeting was over two years ago in the Crazy Cruiser8 Quarter Finals, May 2008. A lot was at stake then as will be in this meeting where the outcome will no doubt be of high significance on where each man's rest of the year goes.
Ligero is fresh from a Semi Final defeat against Mark Kodiak and thus finds himself out of the title hunt. He'll be desperate for a win against Gallagher to re-establish himself as a contender on the roster. Jack Gallagher (formerly Jack Toxic) is also on the first footsteps of a new path after parting ways with long term tag partner Cyanide as the team of Lethal Dose dissolved in April. Gallagher, despite his previous achievements in singles competition has long been considered "a tag team wrestler", now looking to peruse a career in singles competition, a win here over an established GPW superstar and a mega fan favourite would be a huge feather in his cap. This match has great potential to steal the show. Who will come out on top when these two hungry superstars clash one on one?

GPW Tag Title Warm Up Match: Paradise Lost © vs. The Eastern Bloc

GPW Tag Team Champions, Paradise Lost now know who the No.1 Contenders are to their Tag Team Trophy but have requested a non-title warm up match before they defend. The two time champs' challenge has been taken up by the hugely popular Eastern Bloc. This year, The Bloc turned over a new leaf and have become some of the most popular stars on the roster. Lead by former British Champion Jak Domitrescu, a pairing from The Bloc will combine to try and cause an upset against the preacher and the creature, Heresy and Kastory LeVay. A win for The Bloc would surely stand them in good stead for a title shot down the line, a loss for Paradise Lost is unthinkable as they prepare to defend their titles against "Super" Sam Bailey and Ricky J. McKenzie at some point in the near future.

Tag Team Title No.1 Contenders Interview

Sam Shaw will host a special interview with the newly crowned No.1 Contenders to the GPW Tag Team Trophy, the duo of "Super" Sam Bailey and Ricky J. McKenzie.
Bailey won the 4-way at "Alive & Amplified" which entitled him and a partner of his choosing to challenge Paradise Lost at any date in the future for their Tag Team Titles. Before Bailey had chance to announce who the partner of his choosing would be, both Heresy & LeVay attacked. Later that evening Bailey got his revenge by interrupting Paradise Lost in the 8-Man Mega Match costing them the win. Causing a distraction, it gave RJM enough time to roll up Heresy for the 3 count. Following the victory, Bailey then announced RJM as his tag team partner. At "Friday Night Thriller IV" Sam Shaw will try and get into the heads of the new No.1 Contenders.Our "Friday Night Thriller" shows have a rich vein of good quality matches, upsets, twists and turns - anything could happen!
