Huge British Supershow announced

[Guest Pariah]

We are very proud to announce a new beginning for professional wrestling in the UK, with the formation of 1PW: 1 Pro Wrestling, who present their debut show on Saturday October 1st at the Dome in Doncaster, England.

 

1PW will bring to the UK the Top Wrestlers from the US, including main event superstars from TNA and Ring of Honor. We pride ourselves on bringing to the UK wrestlers who fans would rarely, if ever, get a chance to see live.  Our debut show is entitled "A Twist of Fate".

 

We are very happy to announce that Matt Hardy will make his first ever non WWE wrestling appearance at 1PW "A Twist of Fate", and his first UK wrestling appearance since leaving the WWE this Spring. Hardy has remained in the fans hearts since his WWE departure, as fans still chant " We Want Matt " at live WWE events. Well, the good news is that Matt Hardy can't wait to come over to the UK and share a special evening with his UK fans at "A Twist of Fate". Matt's opponent for the show?  TNA's monster Abyss!  This will be the UK wrestling debut for the masked big man who has terrorised the ranks of TNA.

 

After the recent events in Matt's personal life he's dedicated himself to refocusing his efforts on his in-ring career, and is actively accepting challenges from the biggest and best in the world today. And they don't get much bigger than 6'8" 350 lb. Abyss. Not only one of the most intimidating and ruthless individuals in wrestling today, Abyss has spent most of early 2005 targeting Matt's brother Jeff in TNA, even going as far as to "Black Hole Slam" Hardy into a pile of thumbtacks. Jeff was never able to avenge that savage beating, however with brother Matt fighting with plenty of inner rage, and in fornt of his passionate UK fans; he may just be the one who can topple the monster.

 

One further match has been signed thus far for the show; Raven VS Sandman:  and this is another first time in the UK. This match was signed by 1PW officials for our debut show at the request of both Raven and Sandman. Both superstars are sadistically waiting in anticipation of this match, to tear down the house, along with each other; in the UK.

 

One recurring theme this year has been the re-interest and re-birth of sorts of ECW -Extreme Championship Wrestling - in the form of 2 reunion shows held in the northeast United States. These shows have brought back many memories, some fond and some not so fond, of fans and wrestlers alike and has provided the chance for many men to reflect back on any possible unfinished business they may have had in that promotion. When you think of major rivalries in ECW, the Raven/Sandman saga has to come to mind. One of the most personal grudges of all time, Raven dared cross the proverbial line, bringing Sandman's wife and young son Tyler into his nest of followers, leaving Sandman for the first time in his career, emotionally destroyed and helpless. Although Sandman and his family eventually reconciled, the bad blood between he and Raven remained, and even spilled into WCW & TNA in later years. Now, 1PW brings to you, the most high-profile ECW feud NOT to be relived at either nostalgia show, as the Sandman battles Raven in a No-Disqualification Match for the first time in the UK! Sandman and Raven just can't resist tearing into each other one more time.....

 

1PW officials have also signed more exciting world class superstars for the show, including Ring of Honor World Champion Austin Aries, TNA's X Division superstar Chris Sabin and UK high flyer Jonny Storm. Matches involving these superstars and others, will be announced over the coming weeks.

 

In answer to the question you're most likely asking already, 1PW "A Twist of Fate" will be being recorded for a future home DVD release.

 

Tickets go on Sale Monday June 13th. They will be available by calling the 1PW ticket line on 01302 367525, or on line at www.1upgames.co.uk

 

And in other big news, 1PW's web site launches this Saturday June 11th at www.1p-w.com for all the latest news and announcements.

 

To contact 1PW - Chairman Steven Gauntley is available at [email protected]  to email, and Talent Relations Co-Ordinator Peter Staniforth is available at [email protected] to email.

 

Yeah, I've known of this show for a few months as I'm quite good friends with Peter and I heard about the matches a while back but its all official now so I thought I'd post this up. This is seriously looking like a great show, Raven/Sandman, Hardy/Abyss, Storm/Sabin, Aries pretty much confirmed for the show, with a lot more to come.

 

I'm definetly going to be at the show, should be a cracker.
