Blue Ice Returns To The Ring

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

BWP Superstar, Blue Ice, will make a sensational return to the BWP ring on Saturday 30th May in Rhuddlan, North Wales.  After a lengthly sabbatical from the squared-circle, The Ice Man has announced to BWP Officials that he is ready to reek havoc on the BWP Superstars once again, his motive – the BWP Catchweight Championship title!

BWP Founder Steve Saxon has declared that Blue Ice will face ‘The Knock-Out’ Brad Matthews at the rapidly approaching BWP Unholy Union evening to be held at Rhuddlan on the 30th May …   although his match against Matthews will not be a Championship Chase qualifying match, both Ice & Matthews will be entered into the 2nd Champion Chase KO Rumble at the end of the evening, meaning that The Ice Man could still grab himself that Championship shot that he is so clearly hungry for!

The BWP would like to wish both Tommy Gunn & Jay Icon all the best in their Future Endeavours.
