BWP & RWA – Building On A Solid Foundation

Thursday, December 22nd, 2011

For over 2 years now, Britannia Wrestling Promotions have been working alongside one of the finest professional wrestling academy’s in the United Kingdom, the Runcorn Wrestling Academy.  Founded by Andy Baker, the RWA have produced a fine crop of talent that are currently dominating the current British Wrestling scene – individuals such as Zack ‘Diamond’ Gibson, The Babyface Pitbull, Dean MacManus, Andreas Rossi, Craig Winters and many more – most of which began their journey into the independent wrestling scene through the ranks of RWA training, onto BWP Rookies … from Rookies to Main Roster.

Since 04 September 2009, a solid foundation between Britannia Wrestling Promotions and Runcorn Wrestling Academy has formed – a relationship that allows continuous growth and evolution from a Professional Wrestling training school to an established & reputable independent Wrestling Promotion.

Moving into 2012 BWP Founder & Owner Steve Saxon has announced that he has come to an agreement with Runcorn Wrestling Academy that will allow greater opportunities for the trainee’s of RWA to be able to step up to the BWP Rookie Divison and work live BWP shows once their training process is fulfilled.

Saxon and RWA Management are said to be finalising plans for a special announcement at an RWA event in early 2012 at the Grangeway Centre in Runcorn.

FRIDAY 11th MARCH 2011 will be the day that the historic Chester boundary walls collapse as the MASSIVE BWP 30 Man Rumble takes place to crown the new No1 Contender to ‘The Lethal’ DCB’s World Catchwight Championship!  The winner of the 30 man over-the-top-rope challenge will walk out of Chester with a guaranteed title shot against whomever the Champion may be at the end of BWP Brawl4All!

Newly crowned BWP Rookie Division Champion ‘The Italian Stallion’ TVB will defend his title for the first time against Brand member, Craig Danzig,  details of how Danzig became worthy of a Championship match is unknown at present however we presume that it has something to do with General Manager Sebastian D.Winterz’ involvement with The Brand!

There will also be a female match between Charliee Quinn and the colossal Calcrea who have recently met in Stoke on Trent and are being billed together in the BWP ring for a requested ‘grudge match’!  It seems these women have something to prove to each other and the BWP.

Although the entrants are yet to be announced, it has been confirmed that a Rookie Division No1 Contenders match will also take place.

Fresh out of his successful, if not controversial, victory over Jim ‘The Metal’ King and The Babyfaced Pitbull at Tag Team Turmoil II, BWP World Catchweight Champion ‘The Lethal’ DCB takes on fellow-masked Superstar The Red Saint.
And of course is has been announced that Andy Baker will make his long awaited return to the BWP ring at Saltney on 11th March … it has now been confirmed that by request Andy Baker will team with The Babyfaced Pitbull to take on The Brand power-duo DJ King & Cyanide in tag team action!!

And of course the NEW BWP Tag Team Champions Sabotage & Tommy Gunn will defend their titles for the first time ever as they take on a BWP tag team yet to be announced … one thing is for sure, whoever it is that gets the shot at gold will need to bring their A game to the table to be able to topple the awesome combination of Sab-Gunn!

All of this, and MORE to come shortly!! Stay connected to the BWP website for the latest BWP updates!

MATCH FOCUS >> BWP WORLD CATCHWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP – D MAC Vs ‘THE LETHAL’ D.C.B.

Match Summary: Former champion DCB takes on newly crowned champion D Mac in his fist title defense since winning it in September 2010 in Denbigh, D Mac now defends his title in the same place as he won it at Denbigh Town Hall Brawl 2.  This match was made by BWP General Manager Sebastian D.Winterz as a reward for DCB’s efforts and sacrifices in September against DJ King in the Denbigh Death Match.

Superstar Focus >> BWP World Catchweight Champion – D Mac
Age: 19
Height: 6′2″
Weight: 15st
Trained By: Andy Baker
Years Pro: 4

D Mac has been in the BWP little over 12 months, an instant crowd pleaser and fun loving guy, but not to be taken lightly.  The powerful and youthful D Mac has literally carried himself through the ranks of the BWP to get to where he is now.

D Mac qualified for the Sure Shot Challenge 5 Man Ladder Match earlier in August, beating some of the best athletes and warriors to the final hurdle in one of the most brutal ladder matches in British wrestling history.  Having won the Sure Shot Challenge D Mac had in turn guaranteed himself a BWP title shot anytime he wishes to cash it in within the next 12 months – and the BWP didn’t have to wait all that long before he did just that.

During Denbigh Town Hall Brawl in September, D Mac was challenged by Danny Sensation to put his SSC contract on the line in a match right there, and right then.  With the fans behind him, and not being one for turning down a challenge, D Mac accepted the offer and went 20+ minutes against the cocky but flambouyant Danny Sensation and beat him by pinfall.  Later in the night following a BWP title match between then champion Jim ‘The Metal’ King and Lord Graham Thomas, D Mac stood in the wings watching every second of the title match, waiting for the right time to seal the deal.

As LGT and Sebastian D. Winterz screwed the champion out of his belt, a furious Babyfaced Pitbull stormed the ring and took out LGT’s bodyguard, LGT distracted by this interupted, did not expect what was to come next as D Mac strutted to the ring and cashed in his SSC contract by wrapping the containing briefcase around the head of General Manager Sebastian D. Winterz – a tired and confused LGT could not even attempt to put up a defense as D Mac was straight upon him, locking in the Testdrive to get the 1-2-3 on the former champion, Lord Graham Thomas!

D Mac then paraded in the ring with fellow BWP Superstars as the audience stood in appreciation for the young champ, DJ King was the first man to his best friends side to shake his hand, shortly followed by the Mayor of Denbigh, Graham Maudsley who officially presented D Mac with the BWP World Catchweight Championship.

Age: 28
Height: 5′10″
Weight: 13st
Trained By: El Bandito
Years Pro: 13

D.C.B. is one of the longest serving members of the BWP roster and a former BWP World Catchweight Champion having beat Sebastian D. Winterz in Wrexham in November 2009 in the same way that D Mac won his first title, by cashing in the SSC contract following a hard fought match between Seb and Lord Graham Thomas – ironically 12 months later Sebastian D. Winterz as BWP General Manager has the last man to beat him into a World Catchweight title match!

DCB has always aligned himself with power figures in the BWP, in 2008 when BWP opened its doors DCB was escorted to the ring by his ‘hired help’ McGrou, a red hot Texan who used to like to get hands on in DCB’s matches.  McGrou was fired from the BWP due to his constant interference in matches and his lack of respect towards the BWP officials and management – this lead to the disappearance of DCB until November 2009 when he was enticed back to the BWP  by then General Manager, ‘The Word’ Rudy Wynne.  Wynne and DCB together formed ‘The Word Association’ along with Lord Graham Thomas and Marcus King.  When Rudy was fired from the BWP by Owner Steve Saxon, DCB shortly lost his BWP title to Jim ‘The Metal’ King and continued on a slight losing streak to what he had been used to under the influence of the Word Association.

‘The Lethal’ DCB seems to have now wormed his way into the ear of BWP General Manager Sebastian D. Winterz, DCB was carried out of his Denbigh Death Match in September against DJ King at the end of a hard, brutal and testing 30+ minutes that resulted in a draw.  Despite the efforts of both men, it is only DCB that has been awarded the privelage of a title shot where as his opponent DJ King has not even been booked for the Denbigh show.

Match Conclusion
This should be a hard hitting match on both parts, both men have different backgrounds, styles and strategies that should make to be an interesting match.  D Mac’s youth, size, weight and power advantages should easily make him the favorite in this one, but DCB’s experience, speed and mind hold as good of a defense as any other BWP Superstar’s.  DCB is known to strike hard and fast from the offset in an attempt to wear down his opponent enough so to finish the job quickly, causing himself minimal damage.  D Mac on the other hand likes to work his way into a match, utilising his power and size as his advantage against the attacks of his opponent and in his on offense.  D Mac needs to ground the masked man as soon as possible and stay clear of his fists and feet.

Who will win this match?  Its a close one.  D Mac is on a high at the moment and has an impressive recent track record in the BWP, he is full of momentum – DCB is on fire from the inside out, he lost his title back in March and has been desperate to get his hands on it ever since, we know he will take as many chances and opportunities as he can, whether legal or not, to try and get on top of the big man.

BWP Champion Successful In First Defense

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

sebfirsttitledefense

Last Friday night in Silverdale, Stoke on Trent BWP World Catchweight Champion Sebastian Winterz successfully defended his recently captured gold against the mammoth Andy Baker in front of a lively and appreciative Midlands crowd.  Baker, who had trained in America for the Texas Wrestling Alliance (TWA) owned by WWE Superstar Shawn Michaels, was on form on Friday, giving his all against the Wizard of Blizzard in what was his debut for the BWP – Baker tried everything he could to put down Winterz to be crowned the new champion on his debut match, unfortunately for Baker he seemingly underestimated the strength and heart of Seb Winterz as Seb fought back and finished off the big man with a Rock Bottom that almost buried Baker straight through the centre of the ring.

The Silverdale crowd were exstatic at their Champions hard fought and much deserved forst title defense, Winterz was clearly showing signs of being through hell and back as he left the ring – the important thing is, that as he left the ring to the roar and support of the crowd – he left intact with the BWP World Catchweight Championship Title … and as always, with a smile on his face.
