11th July Llandudno Show Relocated To Wrexham

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

Due to unforseen circumstances, BWP Management have had to relocate the forthcoming BWP Championship Showdown event to Wrexham on Saturday 11th July 2009. The new location is more accomodating for the needs of the BWP and BWP Nation.

BWP would like to extend their sincere apologies for any inconveniences that this may cause, however we are certain that this minor alteration will allow the BWP Championship Showdown Event to receive more public exposure and will be as successful as all prior BWP Events.

Thank you for your co-operation, understanding and Support.

McGrou To Return From Suspension

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

picture1asaIt has been announced this evening that BWP Superstar McGrou will return from his suspension at the next BWP show in Wrexham, North Wales. McGrou was suspended by BWP Founder Steve Saxon earlier this year for his continued physical interference in the matches of Destello, of whom McGrou supplies ‘back-up’ to. Will McGrou remain at the side of Destello when he returns to action?

Many have noticed that since McGrou was last seen in Llanwrtyd Wells in March 2009 – Destello’s win/loss record has dropped drastically – will that suddenly change again now?

BWP Unholy Union Results 30.05.09

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

rhuddlan-unholyunionBritannia Wrestling Promotions Unholy Union live from Rhuddlan, North Wales commenced in front of a packed-out crowd with the opening of the BWP Championship Chase KO Tournament, pitting 4 competitors in audience-decided qualifier rounds – the winners of both rounds would face off in a steel chain match later in the evenings main event.

The crowd selected Angelos to face off against Destello in the opening match of the night … Seb Winterz would later meat the G-Man, Simon Gaytley … Angelos & Destello beat chunks out of each other in a fast paced and spectacular match.  Destello’s experience allowed him to take control of the match and take down the young, hot headed rookie by utilising the use of his Singapore cane after deliberately taking out the referee … the dazed referee counted a slow count for Destello earning him a place in the steel chain match and final of the Championship Chase KO Tournament later in the show.

Next up saw in the return of Lord Graham Thomas aftermajor back surgery 3 months ago – LGT decided to bring along some support with him in the form of the mighty Corporal D .  His opponent … The Metal !  The other half of SuperNaturals was fired up to take down the Lord, although the odds were against him, the crowd certainly was not as they roared in support of the 18 year old kid.

LGT seemed somewhat reluctant to enter the ring as the audience rallied behind Metal … pacing on the outside of the ring with his bodyguard.  Eventually LGT returned to the ring, and took control of the young Metal from the start, the Lords typical tricks and taunts slowly begin to show in the kid, with the assistance of Cpl D, Lord Graham Thomas was able to sustain power and control throughout the majority of the match … until Metal managed to salvage enough energy, guts and skill to pull off a monster suicide dive taking out both LGT and Cpl D!

Metal managed to get on top of the Lord until his support became physically involved again … this was still not enough to keep the kid down, as he battled back against both men and finally took out the Lord by pinfall!  Lord Graham Thomas was absolutely furious, his return match in over 3 months was skittled by the young fan favourite, The Metal!

Next up was the second qualifier for the BWP Championship Chase, pitting The G-Man, Simon Gaytley against the exlosive Seb Winterz.  From the off-set the BWP Nation were clearly showing their support for the G-Man, this peculiar and eccentric grappler put up a strong fight against Winterz, managing to put the big man down long enough to stick his butt in Seb’s face, incidentally changing the usually stone cold expression of Winterz into that of a disgust, nausea and desperation!

Winterz soon found his feet again, as he hit move after move on the pink loving Gaytley, who refused to stay down, so came more hard hitting Winterz specials … still the G-Man refused to be ended, until Winterz hit his patented ‘Onepiece’ finisher move … although Seb was not yet finished, as he began to climb the ropes for the brutal top-rope elbow smash, the move that collapsed the ring at the BWP Eliminator event in Stoke on Trent back in April this year … but then, from nowhere, Destello returned to the ring and began to attack the dazed and battered Gaytley, attacking the downed Superstar with shot after shot of the lethal cane … Winterz took exception to Destello’s interference as the referee declared the winner of the match, by disqualification, to G-Man!  Winterz demanded answers from Destello as he pulled him back from the heavily wounded Gaytley, but the Lethal Luchador was not in the talking mood as he repeatedly commenced in assaulting the G-Man across the ribs … referee Tom Richards was eventually able to get Destello out of the ring, as G-Man was assisted back stage for urgent medical assistance.
After the short break, we return to the show as the crowd are excited and buzzing for more Britannia Wrestling!  The fourth match of the evening see’s the return of another BWP Superstar, after a lengthy 3 years away from the squared-circle, Blue Ice made his return to face off against local hometown hero, the MMA Kid, ‘The Knock-Out’ Brad Matthews .  Blue Ice taunted the audience members with a verbal assault before locking up, the audience rallying behind Matthews was too much for Blue, and he gave up the microphone and locked up for the first time in 3 years.

Matthews took control of Blue Ice from the offset, taking the trainee of Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts down on his back several times, until Ice was able to take down the local boy with a vicious flying fist to the face.  Ice was onto Brad immediately, hitting him with a tirade of spiteful moves, trying to not only beat Matthews, but to humiliate him in front of his own people.  But Matthews’ will was strong, as he out smarted Blue Ice and managed to hit his ‘Knock-Out’ finisher from nowhere and hitting the spring legdrop, but the experience of Blue Ice again surfaced as he was able to narrowly get his foot on the bottom rope to break what seemed to be the victory for Brad Matthews.  Blue Ice managed to scrape to his feet and position Matthews for his ‘Ice Breaker’ finish, along with a grip of Matthews shorts, Blue Ice picked up with victory – leaving the town of Rhuddlan enraged!

The main event of the evening … a steel chain match … the final of the BWP Championship Chase KO Tournament to crown the first entrant into the Championship Showdown where the new BWP World Catchweight Champion will be crowned.  The winners of the earlier qualifier rounds will face off in this extremely dangerous and brutal match.  Destello confidentally enters the ring and watches and mocks as Simon Gaytley struggles to the ring, with a look of revenge and anger in his eyes … G-Man, clearly expressing severe pain and injury in his left rib area, as they had been heavily taped by the EMT’s after the vicious and malicious attack at the hands of Destello earlier in the evening.  

Both men are strapped together to an 8ft long, solid steel chain … as the bell rings, both men immediately enter into a tug of war battle, with G-Man reeling Destello in until Destello opened the match wide open with a stiff kick to the G-Mans jewels.  Destello took no hesitation in using the steel chain to beat down the battered Gaytley – wrapping the chain around his fists trying to knock out his opponant as well as trying to finish off the job of breaking the remainder of his ribs!  Both Superstars fought back and forth, in and out of the ring, with the fans strongly behind G-Man, he picked up the momentum and gave Destello and unexpected and much deserved receipt for pain and punishment that he had received throughout the night!  

G-Man looked to have the match almost done, until Destello managed to get hold of his Singapore cane once again, and was about to swing it into the G-Mans skull as out of the back stormed Seb Winterz, leaping up to the ring and managing to grab the cane from the hands of the Lethal Luchador just in time.  Destello momentarily distracted by Sebs interference allowed the now semi-unconscious G-Man to roll him up into a STF, wrapping the chain around Destello’s throat three times and pulling back hard – choking the Mexican into tapping out … the winner of this match – and the first entrant into the BWP Championship Showdown … by Submission … The G-Man, Simon Gaytley!

Now, time for the final event of the night – the 2nd Chance WrestleFest – an opportunity for the entire BWP roster in attendance to participate in an elimination style match – 2 men start off, every 90 seconds a new wrestler enters the ring, elimination is by pinfall or submission only, falls count anywhere … last man standing is declared the 2nd entrant into the BWP Championship Showdown along with the already qualified G-Man!

First 2 men starting the WrestleFest is  Lord Graham Thomas and Brad Matthews, both men losing their earlier matches and both men desperately looking to secure their place in the Championship Showdown.  Although Brad took control of LGT, the 3rd entrant was the Lords bodyguard, Cpl D.  LGT and Cpl D beat the Matthews down hard with an arsenal of big double team moves.  Matthews was somewhat saved when entrant 4 entered – The Metal – Metal immediately got in the faces of the Blue Blood and his bodyguard … the fans going cray for both Metal and Matthews as they took down the LGT and his goon.  

Next in was Seb Winterz, looking to claim what he believes he was robbed of earlier in the show as a result of Destello costing him his match with G-Man … 6th wrestler in the ring is Angelos, still hot over his loss to Destello earlier in the night, he takes out Seb Winterz with an impressive cross body from the top rope, getting a near 3 count on the big man.  Action began still to the outside as well as in the ring, wrestlers battling with each other trying to eliminate whoever they could … the slightly twisted Angelos saw a moment and took it, as he hit a severe and extreme suicide dive from the top rope to the outside taking out LGT, Cpl D and even his own brother, The Metal!  The fans went wild to see the high risk move from Angelos.  

Destello and Seb then came face to face in the centre of the ring … immediately a 2 way punch fest opened up as both men, equally annoyed about their earlier losses to the G-Man due each of their interferences in each others matches … this was broken up by the next entrant, Blue Ice … who rid of Seb, and then turned on Destello.

Night Stalker was next in … but not for long, as he walked straight into a waiting Blue Ice who instantly locked on the Ice Breaker onto Stalker for the 3 count … as Blue stood to showcase his excellence to the unappreciative crowd, he was locked into a triangle choke by the MMA fighter Brad Matthews – this was more than enough to get the big headed Blue Ice to tap out!  

LGT and Cpl D were concentrating on the SuperNaturals brothers, Angelos & Metal … the Bluebloods planted Metal on top of Angelos after their double beatdown, allowing the ref to count to 3 and declare that Metal eliminated his own big-brother Angelos!  As Metal came round, he appeared to have no idea what had occurred, however Angelos seemed to take exception to him being eliminated from his opportunity and chance to become the BWP World Catchweight Champion, as he shove his younger brother out of the way as he exited the ring.

LGT then surprisingly and strangely turns on his own bodyguard – rolling him up for a quick pin and eliminating him from the competition.  As LGT argues with his protege to the outside of the ring, Metal went after the culprit of his brothers dismissal from the WrestleFestand hit his ‘HeavyMetal’ finisher on the Lord and gets the 123 … LGT is pinned by the kid twice in one night and is mildly separated from Cpl D as the bodyguard vented his frustration on the eliminated Night Stalker.  

Winterz then quickly takes out Metal with a spike DDT as Destello simultaneously hits a swanton bomb on Brad Matthews, eliminating the home town hero from the WrestleFest – Destello’s winning streak is soon blitzed by the ready-waiting and very angry Seb Winterz as he locks on the ‘Onepeice’ and smashes Destello to the canvas to pick up the final 1-2-3 of the evening, and claiming his place in the BWP Championship Showdown along with the G-Man, Simon Gaytley!

As Seb leaves the ring, to the approval and support of the attending BWP Nation, Destello finally comes round and begins to physically and verbally provoke referee Tom Richards … Blue Ice, cleary still bothered by his elimination from the WrestleFest, returns to ringside and together with Destello they savagely gang up on the defenseless referee … as the crowd show their disapproval of the actions of the 2 BWP Superstars, the assault gets worse for Richards, until he was saved by Brad Matthews and the SuperNaturals as they stormed the ring and chased of the sore losers, Destello and Blue Ice.

The Word In Your Ear Superstar Interview Special – The Sax Man

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

Welcome to another edition, a rather special and rushed edition of “The Word In Your Ear” with me, the most controversial man since records began, “The Word”, Rudy Wynne . This week I have been requested to do an interview with a previous interviewee, The Sax Man . Welcome Sax.

The Sax Man – Good evening Rudy, the reason I asked for you to speak with me tonight is because I have something big to announce to the BWP Nation.

The Word – Whats your big announcement?

The Sax Man – As you are aware, Britannia Wrestling Promotions has gone from strength to strength and is increasingly in high demand.  I set the wheels of the BWP turning a long time ago, and in order to continue the growth of the BWP the time has come for me to step aside and focus my time, energy and efforts to the back office side of business.  This has not been an easy nor quick decision for me to make, however I strongly believe that although my presence will obviously be missed at the BWP shows and events, it is within the interest of every BWP Superstar, crew member and fan, that I focus everything at this time on taking the BWP beyond the boundries.

The Word – Wow. Well, I wasn’t expecting this.What now for the BWP?

The Sax Man – Now Rudy, now I find somebody who is exceptional enough to run my company during my absence … I find a BWP General Manager

The Word – So, this new position of General Manager of the BWP. Is there a shortlist of people for it?

The Sax Man – No there is not … there are no boundries here Rudy, I am opening the floodgates to anybody and everybody that thinks that they are capable of running one of Great Britains fastest growing business’s … whether you are a BWP Superstar, A BWP Manager, BWP crew member or even a BWP Fan!!  It doesn’t matter … all I need to hear for now is I should employ you as the GM of the BWP and I will make my mind up and announce the new GM later this month!

The Word – This is a dream job for the BWP fans! How can they apply?

The Sax Man – They can apply  by posting a video of themselves on YouTube and sending the link to sax@britanniawrestling.co.uk … these videos will be posted on the BWP website for all to see  …  Superstars, Crew Memebers, Fans … you think you have what it takes to carry on what I have to carry the BWP forward?  Now’s your chance.

The Word – And there you have it! The Sax Man is taking a back seat following the June show, could you replace him and manage the day-to-day running of the BWP? If so, post your video application on a video sharing website such as YouTube and email sax@britanniawrestling.co.uk with the link (or post it on the BWP Forum).

Not wanting to apply but have an opinion on the job? Why not post it on the thread for this shocking development. Who do you think will be the next General Manager?

Till the next time, I have been The Word, Rudy Wynne. Thank you for reading!
