Martin Stone vs Rhino added for IPW:UK afternoon show
In huge news to any UK wrestling fan it was announced that IPW:UK standout and current RQW British Heavyweight Champion Martin Stone will face possibly his biggest challenge to date. That challenge comes in the form of former WWE star and ECW champion Rhino. The current TNA mainstay is certainly one of wrestling’s hardest hitters and like Stone, prides himself on his ground and pound technique. Stone has truly become the break out star of 2006 in the UK and spent the last year going tow to toe with the worlds top superstars including his January confrontation with Japanese legend “The Great Muta”. Martin Stone Vs Rhino is sure to be one of the toughest encounters of the whole weekend.
For many this match is being considered a dream confrontation yet fans can see it for the amazing price of £8.50 as part of the IPW:UK pre show event taking place on the Saturday April 28th event. The pre show events on both days are really becoming a talking point with British wrestling fans and the bout between Rhino and Stone is just the tip of the iceberg of what fans can expect from their first taste of Britain’s fastest growing wrestling promotion, IPW:UK.
