It’s a bright morning in the PTW Office, a sunbeam shines through cheefully, and as the football season has now begun, PTW wish to remind everyone of their love of Luton Town FC; and wish our boys luck in winning League One this season! Back onto business though, this is the final news update, and round up; before Power Trip Wrestling present “Glory Days’, on Friday 17th August, at Luton Rugby Club, Newlands Road, Luton. We start with some big news, and then we will review the matches that are on the show for you.
ENFORCED CHANGE TO 6 MAN CRUISERWEIGHT CHAOS MATCH!
Due to the unexpected and sudden retirement from wrestling of Johnny Lee of The Sky Hi Xpress, we at PTW have replaced him in the match with the very talented Marcus Kool. We are very upset at Power Trip Wrestling to lose the talents of one of our favourite wrestlers, and wish him, his wife, and young children the very best in life; and want to state that if things ever change then PTW will welcome him back with open arms. We know the wrestlers in the match will want to put on a performance that would make Johnny proud, and on August 17th, PTW says quite simply : “This one’s for you, Johnny”.
** REVIEW OF THE MATCHES **
MAIN EVENT : TBW HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION SHABAZZ W/ ???? VS STIXX W/ LUCIAN
This match has a lot of history to it, but has undergone an unlikely twist here in Power Trip Wrestling. Shabazz and Lucian have been at odds since the beginning of PTW, and this has lead Lucian to offering his ‘services’ as a cornerman to Stixx (who Shabazz has a lot of history with elsewhere in other promotions); for this show. Lucian is a very talented and dangerous wrestler, so this has driven Shabazz to feel he needs someone in his corner who can guard his wellbeing. There’s been rumours, theories, and more; as to who it is – the name that has come out the most mentioned is a very unlikely one – and to find out? You’ll have to be there on the night. Stixx, is quite simply, a monster that is not to be argued with…but he could also be one who could possibly have one eye on his appearance the next night at 1PW. Shabazz is both on a winning streak, and adored in PTW….something’s got to give.
EL LIGERO VS RICH N’ FAMOUS
El Ligero is one of the most well known names on the UK scene, and also in Europe. He is hugely popular at PTW, and we are always thrilled when his schedule allows him to wrestle for us. In May, he had a superb match with Martin Kirby; and at “Glory Days”, he will be facing off against the cocky, controversial, and talented (and the problem here is, he KNOWS it!) – Rich N’ Famous. Rich has never been known to be lost for words, and is predicting victory in this match! But Ligero is coming to Luton with winning on his mind, as he, like Stixx, heads off to 1PW the next night. This match is worth the ticket price alone!
FORCED TO TEAM : LEON X & JIM BROOKS W/ PTW OWNER PETER STANIFORTH & DAN EDGE W/ MELICIOUS VS ‘MEAN AND GREEN’ ANTON GREEN & MAVERICK
Oh boy, do we have problems here?! At the last PTW show in July, PTW Owner Peter Staniforth had one of his now seemingly trademark outbursts of temper, and pointed at Dan Edge with the following words – “I’m sick of you.” Then he pointed at Jim Brooks, and said the same, but somewhat stronger. Then, shockingly, he even pointed at long time friend Leon X and said “I’m even fed up with you”. Peter went on to state that this needs to come to an end, and it seems his solution of sorts is making Leon X and Jim Brooks work as a TEAM on August 17th! With two ‘tag partners’ who don’t get along, with Staniforth and Edge outside the ring and their well known issues; it’s fair to believe that Anton Green & Maverick are probably rubbing their hands and thinking that they have an easy night ahead of themselves and can just capitalise on the dissention in the ranks. Typical of the situation, but understandably so; Leon X recently stated that he “just wants to kick some butt, and really doesn’t care that much if it’s his opponents or Jim Brooks on the receiving end of it”. So you’d think this one is a foregone conclusion. But stranger things have happened in life, and especially in professional wrestling; so don’t rule out anything in this match!
BRIAN BRADDOCK VS ‘DIAMOND’ DAMON KRUIZ
Brian Braddock is on the rise. Quite possibly the most underrated man in Power Trip Wrestling, no-one has ever or will ever doubt his toughness. Whatever is thrown at him, he somehow manages to get back up. In July, he defeated the huge odds against him, and won the ‘Invitation Only’ Rumble. Now, he faces perhaps a bigger challenge, in the intense stiff hitter known as ‘Diamond’ Damon Kruiz. Kruiz is a former FWA star, who is known more for his tag team exploits; but who is more than capable of challenging for literally any championship he wishes to. PTW fans have spoken of this match with excitement, as two men who were once on the same side in a past they would probably both want to forget, will clash intensely in Luton.
SIX MAN CRUISERWEIGHT CHAOS!
PTW are set to introduce the PTW Cruiserweight Title in September, and this match is to give a taste of what is to come. Participants in the match are Matt Naylor, Seb Drea, G ‘The Ghetto Superstar’, Danny Stevens, Dan Ryder, and Marcus Kool! Looking down this list, every one of them have an agenda and something to prove. Matt Naylor feels he is capable of doing anything he wants to, and wants to prove he is worthy of the title. Seb Drea is a man who when he wrestles, fans often watch openmouthed as he generally takes on two opponents – the one in the ring, AND gravity too! G ‘The Ghetto Superstar’ is the wrestler formerly known as Perry Lang, someone who is no stranger to fame having appeared in BBC’s “EastEnders”, and who feels this championship could be his step to even bigger heights. Danny Stevens is a perenially underrated local wrestler, who is looking to grab his chance to shine. Dan Ryder is known around the country as a huge prospect and potential big star, who has literally no care for his well being and will do whatever it takes to himself if it means he’ll come out with the win. And finally, Marcus Kool is more than able of walking right into PTW and making a huge impact. This is set to be loud, it’s set to be wild, and it’s one you’d regret not being there live to see!
‘MR 50-50’ DAN EVANS VS MARTIN KIRBY
Two of the best wrestlers from the UK’s Northern wrestling scene, come down South to Luton to show what they can do. Dan Evans is known generally as a tag team wrestler, with his LDT: The Movie partner Cameron Kraze, but he’s here this time to prove that he’s a more than capable singles wrestler too. And his opponent, is someone he knows well, a man who only just came out on the losing side at PTW in May against El Ligero; Martin Kirby. There’s a serious professional rivalry here, and it comes to a head on August 17th, in a match that is way too close to call a winner.
‘YOUTH GONE WILD’ WILL DAVISON & ANT LACAYO W/ HAILEE JEFFERSON VS GANGSTER & HUBERT
Portsmouth’s finest tag team are coming to PTW, at the personal request of PTW Owner Peter Staniforth. Will Davison and Peter go way back as close friends, and ‘Youth Gone Wild’ are here to do Peter a favour. Back in March, Gangster and Peter clashed verbally due to and during the main event that evening, and despite Peter being no physical match for him; it didn’t stop him warning Gangster that if he ever let him back into PTW – then it would be on HIS terms, and he’d be calling the shots. Step one, is clearly this match. Gangster and Hubert will be turning up with their usual attitude, which involves walking in and trying to take over. Will Davison and Ant Lacayo are coming into PTW, with the boss’s blessing, but with a point to prove that they justify that approval. Based on emotion, this should be a great tag team encounter!
LUCIAN W/CHELSEY KARTER VS NDS VS SPATCH VS MATT SAVAGE W/APHRODITE
Four way action here, which will see Lucian (with his valet Chelsey Karter), NDS and Spatch (who are tag team partners usually), and ‘Maniac’ Matt Savage (and his valet Aphrodite); in action against each other. Savage and Aphrodite are the PTW Owner’s personal security team, but Peter will not be ringside for this match as he feels they are more than capable of getting the job done without his support. There’s questions surrounding this match – Will the ladies outside the ring be the deciding factor in this match, or will it be the action in the ring that decides who will come out with the victory? Will the fact that NDS and Spatch are a tag team in other promotions mean that they work together somewhat? Will Lucian be fully focused on the match, or his partial involvement in the main event? The answers will arrive on August 17th….
** FINAL ADDITIONS TO THE CARD **
‘THE ANGEL OF THE NORTH’ KYLE KRAZE VS RED HAIRED LOON
Kyle Kraze is both a great singles competitor, and the often tag team partner of Rich N’ Famous. His attitude may lack somewhat, but you can’t deny his ability in the ring. Red Haired Loon has incredible talent, but the question remains – is he genuinely insane, or is it purely a gameplan that is well calculated to put off potential opponents? No-one has quite worked this out, and Loon isn’t about to let them do so. Another match who’s winner is potentially too close to call.
EIGHT MAN TAG TEAM ACTION : DANNY DEVINE, AMERICAN ALL-STAR W/ MISS VICKY, SIMON LAZENBY & TITAN VS FRANTASTIC, BEER FUELLED VIOLENCE, & CAMERON KRAZE
In what will be an entertaining clash filled with people who are wanting to make an impact in PTW, we’ve put together two teams who want to show their worth. The guys in the white hats, who hope to bring the win to their team with the approval of the fans; are Frantastic, Beer Fuelled Violence (ArkAngel & ‘Scorpion’ Bill Duffy), and Cameron Kraze. On the side of all things arrogant and self confident, never afraid to take a cheap shot or a short cut; we have the debuting Danny Devine, American All-Star with his valet Miss Vicky (and ever present baseball bat), Simon Lazenby, and the monster quite simply known as Titan. When you have a front door that revolves as much as it does in Power Trip Wrestling, all these men will be looking to show why they deserve to be here.
