Lord Graham Thomas To Face Jonathan Gresham

April 26th, 2012

Following his embarrassing loss to TNA:iMPACT Wrestling Superstar Mark Haskins last month at Ffrith Beach Arena, Lord Graham Thomas III is looking for retribution next month as Britannia Wrestling Promotions welcomes yet another American Wrestling Superstar Jonathan Gresham to the fold.

Britannia Wrestling Owner Steve Saxon announced earlier this week that former Chikara and Ring of Honor Superstar Jonathan Gresham will be a part of the forthcoming show at Prestatyn Nova Centre on Sunday 03 June 2012, however Saxon did not immediately unveil who Greshams opponent would be.  Lord Graham Thomas wasted no time in issuing his challenge to who he calls the ‘American Gypsy’ Jonathan Gresham at his country manor in West Midlands via video.

Steve Saxon immediately responded to Lord Graham Thomas’s challenge to take on Gresham on Sunday 03 June, much to the delight of his Lordship the answer was ‘fill your boots’!  With that said, Lord Graham Thomas III now gets his opportunity to prove that he is not the laughing stock of British Wrestling … can the British blue blood be able to get the big win he has been desperate to achieve for some time?  Or will be just be another British Wrestler on the list of victories for the ‘American Gypsy’?

Ffrith Beach Arena Results – 07.04.12

April 16th, 2012


RESULTS FOR BRITANNIA WRESTLING PROMOTIONS @ FFRITH BEACH ARENA
SATURDAY 07 APRIL 2012

Britannia Wrestling Promtions @ Ffrith Beach Arena, Prestatyn, North Wales
Saturday 07 April 2012

The residents and tourists of North Wales were treated to a history making moment last Saturday night as Britannia Wrestling Promotions introduced TWO TNA:iMPACT Wrestling Superstars to the proud soil of Cymru!

Quite literally from beginning to end, the sold out Ffrith Beach Arena was treated to an abundance of hard hitting entertainment, and what better way to kick start one of the biggest shows in Britannia Wrestling Promotions history than with one of the scheduled Main Events featuring TNA:iMPACT Wrestlings very own Robbie E!

Robbie E Vs Shaun ‘The Hammer’ Davis

The fans erupted as the sound of Robbie E’s entrance music played throughout Ffrith Beach Arena as the TNA Superstar danced and paraded onto the BWP stage, grabbing the microphone and addressing the manic grapple fans directly.  Robbie seemingly wasn’t impressed with North Wales’ Ffrith Beach Arena, nor the people within it – acknowledging only that he knew what the people wanted to see, and they wanted to see the former TNA Television Champion dance!  As Robbie E danced in the Britannia Wrestling ring another familiar entrance music struck – and out walked the 6’4” 19 stone Shaun ‘The Hammer’ Davis!


The sight of The Hammer was enough to put a temporary end to Robbie’s dance moves as he gawped at the giant of a man that edged towards him.  Robbie tried to ease the tension by informing The Hammer that nobody wanted to see them fight, the people wanted to see The Hammer dance, with that said once more he requested his music and offered the ‘dance floor’ to his opponent.  Unbelievably it seemed that The Hammer was getting into the groove as his hips began to sway and his fists began to pump …. and then his right fist pumped straight into the Jersey Shore natives pretty face – referee Des Robinson calls for the bell and finally, the match is off.

It is fair to say that Robbie E is an Internationally recognised Wrestling Superstar, however it is also fair to say that he spent the vast majority of this match trying his utmost to swerve the Preston Punishers every move.  Robbie, the faster, smaller and younger of the two men, used those attributes to try and run rings around the undefeated powerhouse, a game plan that worked for him for only so long until his trademark cockiness prevailed allowing The Hammer the gap he needed to beat down the US Superstar with a tirade of big boots, sideslams, right hands and an attempted chokeslam that would have no doubt ended things instantly, only for Robbie to reverse The Hammers trademark move – but on that night nothing was stepping in the way of The Hammers undefeated streak as he immediately brought out his big-gun as he ploughed straight through Robbie E with a gut wrenching Spear!  As the TNA Superstars head bounced off the mat and Shaun ‘The Hammer’ Davis hooked his leg, referee Des Robinson counted the 1 – 2 – 3!

The winner of this match, by pinfall and still undefeated – Shaun ‘The Hammer’ Davis!

Up next, the Rookie Division Number 1 Contenders Triple Threat Match, the winner of this match watch would go on to face current reigning BWP Rookie Division Champion Craig Winters on Sunday 03 June 2012 just down the road at the Prestatyn Nova Centre in a Championship Match.

*** ROOKIE DIVISION No1 CONTENDERS TRIPLE THREAT MATCH ***
The Red Saint Vs Matt Matthews Vs Tom Hayden

A triple threat match on paper, a handicap match in reality. The Red Saint had the odds stacked against him as the two young graduates of Runcorn Wrestling Academy formed an alliance to ensure that one of them would be the new No1 Contender.  From the offset Matthews and Hayden circled Saint like a pack of wolves hunting and teasing their prey before attacking.  As Matthews and Hayden tried to simultaneously take out Saint they were ignorant to Saints experience which allowed him to take advantage of eventual bickering between the two Rookies as to who would be the one to take the pin on Red Saint to be declared the winner.


Saint battled back taking out Matthews and Hayden one by one, the two young Rookies kept firing back only to be knocked back down to the mat with every attempt.  Finally Saint sent Matt Matthews crashing to the outside of the ring long enough to lock in his trademark ‘Saints Wrath’ finishing move to Hayden for the 3 count!!

The winner of this match, against all odd’s and the new BWP Rookie Division No1 Contender, The Red Saint!

The fans wanted it – so Britannia Wrestling Promotions provided it – up next is TNA:iMPACT Wrestling Superstar Mark Haskins against a BWP Original, Lord Graham Thomas III.

Lord Graham Thomas III Vs Mark Haskins

Although Lord Graham Thomas III appeared to parade to the ring in his usual manner of insulting the fans and shoving a BWP photographer to the ground so that His Lordship could enter the ring using his back, this usual display of arrogance and confidence seemed somewhat watered down on this occasion as the nerves were apparent on the mug of LGT as he was about to meet one of his toughest opponents to date – TNA Superstar Mark Haskins!

The fans went crazy as Haskins hit the stage with amazing electricity and focus – making time to acknowledge the crowd as he kept his eyes on an awaiting Thomas inside the ring.  As referee Des Robinson called for the bell, both men were straight into it.

A lot of back and forth action from both Superstars, Lord Graham Thomas appeared to quickly shake off any pre-match nerves as he gave it hard to the TNA Superstar – but Haskins speed and agility got the better of the BWP Original at every opportunity.   His Lordship managed to ground the high flying Haskins and delivered a royal beating to Mark Haskins, just as LGT appeared to have Haskins grounded and set up for his patented top rope leg drop he took a little too long taunting and tormenting the crowd and Haskins managed to avoid the 16stone Lordship who came crashing to the mat hard allowing Haskins to hit his Cutter finishing move for the 1-2-3!


The winner of this match by pinfall, TNA:iMPACT Superstar Mark Haskins!

After the short intermission the action kicked started again – however the next scheduled match needed a replacement due to the recent injury of ‘The Metrosexual’ Danny Devine who was expected to be facing ‘Liverpools No1’ Zack Gibson.  Earlier in the day Britannia Wrestling Promotions Owner Steve Saxon announced that Corey E would be replacing the injured Devine to face Gibson.

Zack Gibson Vs Corey E

Unfortunately for Corey he was not related to Robbie E – but the end result for Corey would be destined to be the same as Robbie’s earlier attempt at bringing down The Hammer.

As always the fans showed their love and support to the medically cleared Corey E who had been out of action since his unfortunate training accident that required immediate surgical operations to correct a severely broken ankle. Corey stated earlier that his ankle was back to full health and he was at peak fitness – and he certainly backed his words with action as he put on an awesome display of athleticism against the seasoned Scouser, Zack Gibson.

Corey and Zack are no strangers to each other, their paths have crossed several times in the past at Runcorn Wrestling Academy where both men began their journey into Professional Wrestling.  The familiarity was clear as both men reversed each other’s arsenal of moves one after the other, after ten minutes of wrestling the fatigue was beginning to appear as both Superstars struggled to keep their opponent down for any longer than a couple of seconds – frustration was setting in just as Gibson set Corey up for his trademark Football Kick to the face, Corey managed to dodge the move and roll Zack up for a near 3 count … only for Gibson to kick out and lock Corey into a Boston crab, levering Coreys legs over his own head forcing Corey E to tap out in order to preserve his own career!  Gibson reluctantly released the submission move as referee Des Robinson screamed at him to let the defeated Corey go, there was no remorse on Gibsons face – only the look of self-approval that he got the job done!

The winner of the match by submission, ‘Liverpools No1’ Zack Gibson.

Next up – Jim ‘The Metal’ King Vs ‘Wildboy’ Dylan Roberts who surprisingly received a positive and warm welcome from the North Wales town, something that Roberts may not be used to, but seemed to feed off during moments of his match against the venomous backstabber that is Jim King.

Jim ‘The Metal’ King Vs Dylan Roberts

‘I’m the greatest man to ever live’ – words that have become familiar in Britannia Wrestling over recent months since Jim Kings change in lifestyle.  Would he be able to back that statement up by beating one of the best Wrestlers to ever come out of Wales?  He thought so, and he was going to go all out to make sure of it!


This wasn’t the first time that these two Britannia Superstars had met across the ring … this time the fans were ralying behind the 100% Welsh Beef Dylan Roberts and heckled The Metal, but the fans were deep into this match from the offset as both Superstars delivered an awesome spectacle of display of professional wrestling.  On this occasion Jim ‘The Metal’ King came up trumps over Dylans attempts by pinfall.

The winner of this match by pinfall, Jim ‘The Metal’ King.

The time had come for the evenings Main Event – two tag teams who knew each other fairly well, with a difference.

*** BWP TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH ***
CJ Banks & The Babyface Pitbull © Vs The Brand

In January 2012 CJ Banks & The Babyface Pitbull opened the show facing each other for the PWI:BWP World Catchweight Championship – by the end of the night they were forced to stand side by side as a unit by Steve Saxon to take on The Brand – who would have guessed that at the end of that night CJ and Pitbull would leave Chester as the new BWP Tag Team Champions!

The Brand decided on a reshuffle for the evening – clearly trying to throw the Champions off their game by The Brand being formed by DJ King and Craig Winters as opposed to Kings usual partner, Cyanide.  Would this change in formation be enough for the BWP Tag Team Championships to return to The Brand?  Brand Financial Investor Rudy Wynne hoped so as he watched from the VIP area of Ffrith Beach Arena, safely away from Pitbull & Banks!

As the referee called for the bell, Pitbull started off against ‘Ultraviolent’ Craig Winters – all of the BWP title holders stood in that ring facing each other – Rookie Champion Winters, Catchweight & Tag Team Champion Pitbull – literally the best of the best in Britannia Wrestling Promotions took part in this tag team main event!

The winners of this match by submission, and STILL BWP Tag Team Champions – ‘The Juice’ CJ Banks and The Babyface Pitbull.

pbcjPWI:BWP WORLD CATCHWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
‘The Juice’ CJ Banks (c) Vs The  Babyface Pitbull

The opening bout of the evening was for the big one as current Champion CJ Banks squared off with former Champ the Pitbull in what was set to be a classic encounter until both Superstars were visciously attacked by The Brand before a winner could be determind.  The Brand took out both Champion and Challenger before informing the crowd that they were once again taking over the evenings proceedings and would be taking the charity proceeds with them!  BWP Owner Steve Saxon took clear exception to these actions as he put The Brand in a BWP Tag Team Championship Match later that night against none other than the two men they had just attacked – CJ Banks and The Babyface Pitbull!!  Saxon also stated that in the interest of fairness, he would appoint a Special Guest Referee who would be impartial, fair and would not be afraid to ’slap the smirks from off The Brands faces if they stepped out of line’ – that Special Guest Referee, was himself – Steve Saxon!!  The Brand were left seething, and Banks and Pitbull were left a little beat up and even more so confused.

Steve Saxon also announced that Pitbull and Banks would get their opportunity to finish their fight on Saturday 03 March at BWP Fight Night as it would be The Babyface Pitbull Vs CJ Banks in a PWI:BWP World Catchweight Championship rematch!

Winner of the Match: No Contest – therefore still PWI:BWP World Catchweight Champion ‘The Juice’ CJ Banks

ciarandeanDean MacManus Vs ‘Classic’ Ciaran McConnell

Seeking retaliation for his tag team partners injury at the hands of The Brands Dean MacManus several months ago, Ciaran McConnell took it to the big man with the army of fans behind him.  Dean MacManus is no easy task for any man though, and on a couple of occassions looked to have the victory clenched, until a mistake from Dean allowed the Classic one to quickly, and cleverly, lock in the figure 4 leg lock to his nemesis forcing MacManus to utter those words ‘I quit’.

Winner of this Match: ‘Classic’ Ciaran McConnnell

wintersmorganBWP ROOKIE DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Craig Winters (c) Vs Marc Morgan

The ‘Ultra Violent’ Craig Winters defended his Rookie Division Championship against the debuting Marc Morgan who put on an impressive display of speed, agility and guts against the down and out tramp that is Craig Winters.  Morgan battle through the stench of Ultra Violence and put the Champ on his back on numerous occasions, even threatening Winters to the point that he thought that he was losing grip of his prescious Championship belt – and ended the match on his terms, with a stiff running kick to the balls of Marc Morgan – intentionally carried out in front of referee Des Robinson who immediately disqualified the Rookie Champion, meaning that he retained the title and was about to leave Saltney Tavern a happy man – until Steve Saxon made an apperance once again – not a happy Owner at all!  Saxon declared that he was ’sick and tired’ of Winters attitude as of late, and he would not allow this controversy to continue – Saxon then apologised to the referee for over ruling his DQ decision, because Saxon then ordered the match to restart as a No Holds Barred match!

An irate Craig Winters and his valet Stacey Rose dragged themselves back to the ring – Winters heckled the BWP Owner before laying out Marc Morgan with the Rookie Division Championship belt as a reluctant Des Robinson made the 3 count!  Craig Winters laughed in the face of Steve Saxon and prepared to make his way back to the locker room – but a seething Steve Saxon was not going to have ‘that kind of scum’ in his locker room, and kicked Winters and Rose out of the front door of Saltney Tavern to the freezing Welsh weather!

The Winner of the Match: Craig Winters – still BWP Rookie Division Champion     

joeyzackZack Gibson Vs Joey Starr

This match was everything it was expected to be on paper, and some!  Joey Starr and Zack Gibson are without a doubt two of the best Wrestlers in Britain at the moment, both with big futures in this business.  They locked up together with more or less equal stats and records and they gave the live crowd their money’s worth of action in their match alone!  Back and forth, hard hitting, adrenaline fueled action throughout – Joey had the Saltney crowd behind him from the offset as Gibson paraded to the ring to the sounds of You’ll Never Walk Alone, clad in his Liverpool FC attire – making it known to the majority of Man Utd fans present that he was overjoyed with the earlier football result between the two Northern teams (Liverpool beat Man Utd 2-1).

Although Joey’s efforts were admirable and hard fought, they were not enough to keep down Zack Gibson who managed to hit his patented ‘Soccer Kick’ to Starr’s face for the 1-2-3.

The Winner of the Match: Zack Gibson

yidwild
BWP TAG TEAM No1 CONTENDERS MATCH
Jim ‘The Metal’ King & Immortal Yidster Vs The Wild Boys

Best friends Jim ‘The Meta’ King and The Immortal Yidster set to go 2-on-2 against The Wild Boys – but before the wrestling action went down, Yidster had a challenge for his opponents, in the form of a dance off!  The Saltney crowd cheered, applauded and laughed at the not so smooth moves that the Immortal one pulled out of the bag – and I think that every single person in the venue were gobsmacked by the double-act dance moves from The Wild Boys, clearly not the first time that they had  been in that position!

When  the match finally started the vast experience of tag team wrestling immediately gave Dylan Roberts and Danny Valentine the upper hand and they made a number of quick tags back and forth to stay on top of Yidster and King.  Then, as Jim King seemed to have control of the match having taken down both Wild Boys with a series of lethal knee and kick strikes, there seemed to be a little miscommunication between Yidster and Jim King as King hit the ropes to perform his final Mafia Kick finish, Yidster was on the outside apron and both fan favourites clashed heads – sending Yidster flying to the venue floor and took the wind out of the sails of The Metal long enough for the Wild Boys to take advantage and get a sneaky 3 count for the win!

Following the match King and Yidster were seen to be having words in the ring as The Wild Boys strutted their stuff back to the locker room.  As all seemed to be sorted and forgiven between the Immortal Yidster and his best friend Jim King, The Metal delivered a knock out mafia kick to Yidster, ripped his yellow vest off him and screamed in his face that ‘I do not wear your stupid clothes or come to the ring to your stupid music’ – the shocked fans and BWP crew members looked on completely stunned as Jim removed his trademark Captain armband and rammed it into his apparently former best friends face as he left the ring to a chorus of boo’s and hiss’s.

Winners of the Match: The Wild Boys

mainBWP TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
The Brand (c) Vs CJ Banks & The Babyface Pitbull
Special Guest Referee: Steve Saxon

In a match that Steve Saxon set at the opening of the evening, CJ Banks and Babyface Pitbull were forced to try and forget their differences for a short time to try and take down The Brand and ‘bring home the gold’ as Saxon stated.  The Brand could not be prepared for a match of this calibre, having to defend their titles against two of the purest and finest wrestlers in Great Britain today, The Brand must have laid their hopes on Pitbull and Banks crumbling from within.  Another upset before the bell was rung was that Steve Saxon ordered ‘the little skank’ Stacey Rose to be banned from ringside along with all other Brand members – as the chant of ’skank’ echoed the through the venue, Miss Rose fled Saltney leaving her Tag Team Champions looking rather annoyed.

The Brand worked as a close unit as always, zoning in on their opponents and keeping them grounded – as best as they could on this instance – CJ Banks and Pitbull, although on the same team were far from on the same page.  They blind tagged each other in and out of the ring throughout the entire match, visually and audibly taunting each other as they set to trying to bring down the mighty Brand combo.  The Brand took advantage of the fact that CJ Banks and Babyface Pitbull could not, or would not, work together – individually both fighters tried to take down The Brand – a task that is near impossible for any individual man, slowly The Brand picked away at their opponents … until a arrogant Cyanide took his eye off the ball for a split second as he prepared to hit a Toxic-Bomb on Pitbull from the middle rope – Pitbull siezed this window of opportunity and locked Cyanide into a earth moving powerbomb!!  The ring shook as the 25 stone Tag Team Champion crashed down upon it, the fans were going crazy for Pitbull to make the winning pin – but then out of knowehere CJ Banks hit his running knee finisher on his tag team partner and at the same time landing on top of Cyanide in a senton splash – with Pitbull thrust to the outside and DJ King laid out on the venue floor all that was remaining to do was for Des Robinson to hit the 1-2-3 count!!!  The PWI:BWP World Catchweight Champion CJ Banks and the 2011 Wrestler of the Year The Babyface Pitbull are the NEW BWP Tag Team Champions in an amazing twist of fate!!!

CJ Banks grabbed his newly won Tag Team Championship title, along with his Catchweight title and left his tag team partner in the ring a little upset over what CJ had done to him, but non-the-less happy to once again be holding BWP gold!  It will be interesting to see the Tag Team Champions battle it out once more on 03 March at BWP Fight Night for CJ’s PWI:BWP World Catchweight Championship!

The Winners of this Match: CJ Banks & The Babyface Pitbull – NEW BWP Tag Team Champions

At the end of the match a furious DJ King cornered Steve Saxon and was about to strike his boss – not a wise move – however Steve Saxon (a former wrestler for almost 15 years) managed to avoid Kings left hook, and delivered a knockout enziguri to the former Tag Team Champion before leaving the ring to a huge ovation.

rumble
Every Britannia Wrestling Promotions Superstar on hand hit the ring for the rumble Main Event.  Immediately Cyanide vented his frustrations by powerbombing, slamming and pumbling the young Rookies before several BWP Superstars managed to topple the big man over the top rope to the venue floor!  Now the big risk was gone, the Superstars battled it out to claim the honour of being the last man standing.  15 minutes later there were just two men remaining, in another twist of fate it would be Joey Starr and Zack Gibson!  The crowd were red hot behind Starr who delivered a series of hard hitting finishers on Gibson, finished off by a lovely Peoples Elbow – Zack Gibson looked as if he didn’t know which country he was in as he managed to scramble back to his feet – jelly-legged and dazzled by the moves of Joey Starr – Joey paraded around the ring waiting for Gibson to find his bearings, and as soon as he did, Joey Starr tossed Zack Gibson over the top rope and down to the venue floor for the win!

The Winner of the Match: Joey Starr

Tommy Gunn, reloading

January 19th, 2012

1

Britannia Wrestling Promotions Fan Favourite of the Year 2010 AND 2011, ‘Rapid Fire’ Tommy Gunn is notorious for his high flying, high impact and high octane arsenal of moves inside the wrestling ring, a BWP Original and a much loved and respected member of the British Wrestling community.  Tommy’s desire, will and passion shine forthmost in all of his matches – the respect shown towards him from his fans is clearly returned by the young fighter as he continues to put his body, and life, on the line night after night, dazzling every crowd in every town across the UK with his high risk daredevil style – at some point, Tommy Gunn was destined to break.

‘I sustained my injury at the start of 2011 doing a wrestling show and ever since that show my shoulder hasn’t been right since.  I worked with it all of last year working around the injury and was visiting my surgeon, Mr Turner, constantly checking up on it.’ Tommy explained to BWP Admin.

I had a MRI Scan about mid April confirming that my shoulder didn’t have some bone where the ball & socket joint is & that I would have physio first & if nothing improves from that, It needed surgery.
Literally, after the physio, I knew it wasn’t getting any better & it needed something done so once I did my last show on the 27th Nov, 2weeks after roughly, I had a cancellation date for the 13th Dec to have the surgery.
The operation procedure was some sort of Key Hole surgery first to look in the area what needed to be done & then ‘Open Reduction & Internal Fixation to Right Shoulder with some Bone Graft to the Iliac Crest (Hip)’. The surgery took nearly 4 hours & I went down at 9am & got back to my ward at 2:45pm.
I was in hospital for 3days 4nights hooked to morphine for the first 48 hours due to the procedure I under went etc.

2

The photo’s that are attached are me the day before I left on the 15th, the X rays the day after surgery, the stitching on my shoulder & hip aswell as the scars sustained after the stitches.
As for possibly my return to the ’squared circle’ by the very end of April at the latest depending on how my physio goes etc & seeing my surgeon to discharge me.
I hope this is enough for you dude :-)
Speak soon Boss.
Tommy underwent an MRI scan in April 2011, the scan confirmed that there was missing bone from his ball and socket joint of his right shoulder - physiotherapy was prescribed in order to establish if Tommy would be able to work with the injury or not but after several months of intense physio it was decided that it did indeed require surgery, surgery that Mr Turner insisted that Tommy proceed with, or the repercussions would be serious.  A reluctant Gunn signed for the surgery and the waiting game was on.In true Tommy Gunn fashion he would not let this injury, regardless of its severity, stop him from working on the wrestling shows that he has pre-booked with promoters, he worked up until 27 November 2011, working around the injury as best as he could whilst still ensuring that his fans left happy.

At 9:00am on Tuesday 13 December Tommy prepared for a long enduring operation – first of all key hole surgery that would investigate the missing shoulder bone closer, followed by open reduction and internal fixation of his right shoulder, with a bone graft being done from Tommy’s hip to replace the missing bone in his right shoulder.  After 4 hours of surgery, Tommy was stitched up, cleaned up and returned to his room where he was continuously monitored and connected to a morphine supply for 48 hours, a further 2 days later Tommy was given the all clear to return home to his relieved and delighted family.

3Tommy is still in the long and enduring recovery process in order to get his shoulder back to full strength – but Tommy is adamant that he will be back – refreshed, revitalised and ready to hand out more arse kickings – Tommy Gunn style!   ‘I hope to be back in the squared circle by the end of April’ Gunn stated ‘but thats all down to medical clearance – but I’m ready’.

From all at Britannia Wrestling Promotions, friends, fans, followers and family – we wish Tommy a speedy and successful recovery and look forward to seeing him chasing the gold on Britannia Wrestling turf very, very soon!
