BWP Champions Ball – The Results

BWP Champions Ball Results

BWP Champions Ball was the brainchild of General Manager, Mr Sean Aston, as one of his first actions as GM in November 2012, Aston took it upon himself to provide the BWP Faithful with a supershow that they would never forget … it goes without saying that he more than delivered!

Prestatyn Ffrith Beach Arena was sold out and packed to the rafters as the North Wales crowds gathered in their hundreds to witness 5 action packed contests, all with major implications for the winners.

BRITANNIA WRESTLING ACADEMY BATTLE ROYALE
The winner of this Battle Royale would advance from the Britannia Wrestling Academy and be signed exclusively to the BWP Rookie Division. All trainee’s were in the ring – the only way to win was to eliminate each and every member of the Academy over the top rope and to the arena floor.

The Winner & New BWP Rookie: Ace Jordan

BWP ROOKIE DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP
Marc Morgan entered this match more or less blind – GM Sean Aston did not announce who his opponent would be prior to the match – as the Champ looked on at the Ffrith Beach entrance set to discover who his opponent would be, out came Japanese Sensation, Pyro! The masked Japanese Superstar flew to the ring, much to the delight of the BWP Faithful.

The Winner & New BWP Rookie Division Champion: Pyro

We look forward to seeing a lot more from the NEW Rookie Champion in the coming weeks and months – his arsenal of aerobatic moves and flamboyancy will make for further excellent viewing!

BWP TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP FATAL 4 WAY ELIMINATION MATCH
The Blackpool Blonds, The Hunter Brothers, The Knights of the Squared Circle & British Born Steele & Damian Dunne (Dunne replaced an injured Ryan Smile as a last minute decision by General Manager, Sean Aston).

What an absolute epic tag team match – the BWP Faithful had no time to rest during this match, that’s for sure! BBS & Dunne were eliminated first, shortly followed by the Hunter Brothers leaving the Blonds and KotSC as the final 2 remaining teams. It looked like the Blonds would have the victory, and Championships, in the bag before Sir Dean MacManus KO’d JD James Drake over the skull with one of the Tag Team belts, before the referee knew what was going on he made the 3 count and declared the Knights of the Squared Circle the NEW BWP Tag Team Champions!!

The Winners & New BWP Tag Team Champions: Lord Graham Thomas & Sir Dean MacManus, The Knights of the Squared Cirlce

TRIPLE THREAT MITB STEEL CAGE MATCH
Three of the absolute best of British Wrestling were locked inside a 15ft solid steel cage to determine who would be the Money In The Bank winner! From the moment the cage door was padlocked, these 3 modern day gladiators went at it hard! Each man attempting to escape over the top and through the door on numerous occasions, each man almost making it before being dragged back into the steel hell by one of their opponents.

As Gibson was laid out of the canvas, CJ Banks went for the rafters – Pitbull went for the door (being unlocked and held open by his Manager, Baz-Mac) but out of nowhere came ‘Liverpools No1′ Zack Gibson as he somehow managed to topez through the middle rope, over Pitbull (who was hanging half out of the door at this point), straight through the door taking out Baz-Mac and landing both of his feet on the arena floor to pick up the win, MUCH to the delight of the BWP crowd!

The Winner & New MITB Winner: ‘Liverpools No1′ Zack Gibson

As the steel cage was being dismantled in preparation for the Main Event featuring the PWI:BWP World Catchweight Championship, the Champ, Cyanide, abruptly made his way to the ring with his title in one hand and a BWP microphone in the other, demanding that the ring technicians ‘step away from the cage’. Cyanide manhandled two of the ring crew, tossing them up against the side of the cage and forcing the remaining crew to step aside. Cyanide then entered the cage and informed the BWP Faithful that he wants a cage match where Dylan Roberts can not escape or run off, with that said he demanded BWP Referee, Max Davies, enter the ring to start the match!

PWI:BWP WORLD CATCHWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP STEEL CAGE MATCH
In a complete twist of fate, the 2nd Steel Cage Match of the night was about to take place! Britannia Wrestling Promotions sure know how to treat their fans! Following their encounter back in January in Penyffordd, both of these men were absolutely no stranger to each other. Dylan Roberts won the right to be in that match last month when he went through Zack Gibson, CJ Banks and The Babyface Pitbull in the BWP El Bandito Memorial Tournament, but nothing could have prepared him to be thrown into an impromptu cage match against the 28 stone monster!

Back and forth the action went – both men trying to utilise the confides of the steel cage to their own advntage, sometimes it paid off, sometimes it did more damage than good – one thing is for sure, neither man was going to go down without the fight of their life!

As Cyanide looked to have Dylan Roberts down for the count – the Prestatyn crowd heckled and taunted the ‘Toxic Terror’ into going to the TOP of the steel cage to set up for a MOONSAULT!!! The crowds looked on in complete shock as the most talented big man in British Wrestling scaled the 15ft structure … only for Roberts to nip straight up onto the top with him and lock in a death defying German Suplex from the top of the cage, a move that shook the entire ring, cage and venue!! The audience were deafening, screaming for Dylan to make that final pinfall … 1 … 2 … 3!!! He did it, against all odd’s, ’100% Welsh Beef’ Dylan Roberts is your NEW PWI:BWP World Catchweight Champion!!!

BWP Champions Ball – Saturday 30 March 2013

BWP General Manager, Mr Sean Aston, announced in January that he has created a new Britannia Wrestling Promotions landmark super show named BWP Champions Ball … this show would feature ALL of the 3 BWP Championship titles defended on the same night, as well as other Championship-based matches!

It has all been kept very hush-hush from the Aston office, until now thanks to the BWP Encore! team, Angel D’Souza & DJ King, who announced all of the matches (well, almost all!) on their 2nd episode of the Youtube show. Mr Sean Aston has set the following matches to take place at BWP Champions Ball:

PWI:BWP WORLD CATCHWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
‘The Toxic Terror’ Cyanide Vs ’100% Welsh Beef’ Dylan Roberts

This will not be the first time Roberts & Cyanide will have met on BWP soil. Back in January the General Manager granted Dylan a title shot against the Champion in Roberts’ hometown of Penyffordd, North Wales – the match went to a DQ in Dylans favour as a result of a sly and viscous attack at the hands of The Babyface Pitbull.

Last month at BWP El Bandito Memorial Tournament, Dylan Roberts went on to challenge & beat Zack Gibson, CJ Banks and finally The Babyface Pitbull to guarantee him a No1 Contenders Match against Cyanide at BWP Champions Ball.

TRIPLE THREAT MONEY IN THE BANK STEEL CAGE MATCH
‘The Juice’ CJ Banks Vs ‘Liverpools No1′ Zack Gibson Vs The Babyface Pitbull

The GM has pulled another ace card from his deck by introducing for the first time ever, a triple threat Money In The Bank steel cage match between three of the biggest and respected British Wrestling Superstars! The only way to win this match and get your hands on a contract guaranteeing the victor a shot at any BWP Championship at any time within the next 12 months, is to escape that 15ft high solid steel cage as quickly as possible, by any means necessary.

None of these three Superstars are strangers to each other – all three of them have travelled across the UK, crossing paths at many promotions including here at BWP in the past – but all of that will seem insignificant once the cage door is locked and CJ Banks, Zack Gibson & The Babyface Pitbull are left alone to see who really is the best!

BWP TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP FATAL 4 WAY ELIMINATION MATCH
Knights of the Squared Circle Vs The Hunter Brothers Vs The Blackpool Blonds Vs BBS & Ryan Smile

The BWP Tag Team Championships have been vacant since August 2012 when CJ Banks & The Babyface Pitbull vacated them in order to be granted a Steel Chain Match against each other in Denbigh in September 2012. A Tag Team Tournament was initiated to crown new Champions but when Mr Sean Aston took over the reigns of BWP shows in November 2012, he simply scrapped the tournament in favour of this Fatal 4 Way Elimination Match between Hunter Bros, Blackpool Blonds, Knights of the Squared Circle and the Midlands’ very own British Born Steele & Ryan Smile!

The rules of this match are simple(ish) – only 2 legal men allowed in the ring at any time from any team – legal men can tag ANY Superstar on the apron from ANY team at ANY time! Meaning, for example, that should Lord Graham Thomas be in the ring with Ryan Smile, and Smile tags in Sir Dean MacManus – then tag partners MacManus and Thomas would have no choice but to go at it in the ring! As soon as 1 man from a team is pinned or taps out, both members of the team are eliminated from the match and must return to the locker rooms. The final team standing will be crowned the NEW BWP Tag Team Champions!

BWP ROOKIE DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Marc Morgan Vs Mystery International Opponent

For some reason completely unknown to us here at BWP Admin, Mr Sean Aston has not yet announced who the Rookie Division Champion, Marc Morgan, will be facing at BWP Champions Ball. It is apparent however that the General Manager knows exactly who the challenger will be as he has specified that they will be ‘international’ … but who? And why the secrecy?

Marc Morgan will no doubt be furious over this decision from the GM. Morgan will have no, or little, time to prepare for his match against the Mystery Opponent, he will be heading into one of the biggest matches of his short career as good as blind.

As soon as we have any more information on who the Mystery Opponent could be, we will keep you posted!

BRITANNIA WRESTLING ACADEMY BATTLE ROYALE
All BWP Trainee’s

The GM is extending his ‘good nature’ to the talented hopefuls of the Britannia Wrestling Academy in the form of a Battle Royale. The winner of the over-the-top-rope challenge will go on to sign an official BWP Rookie Division contract which will see him/her advance up the Britannia Wrestling Promotions ladder and get their first taste of live BWP action!

As you can see, this show is looking to be one of the biggest shows in Britannia Wrestling Promotions history! All three Championships will be on the line, we will see the debut of an International Superstar, welcome a new body into the BWP Rookie Division and witness the first ever 15ft solid steel cage match between 3 of the best in Britain!

Be sure not to miss out on this spectacular event – as always we keep our ticket prices realistic and affordable for all at just £5 each, on sale now at Prestatyn Ffrith Beach Arena or can be reserved via sax@britanniawrestling.co.uk - please be sure to visit our events page on Facebook and invite all of your Facebook friends to the show – it’s going to be a #barnburner!

The Beginning of the Aston Era THIS FRIDAY?!

BWP Penyffordd Royal British Legion
Friday 18 January 2013

We are just days away from the first Britannia Wrestling Promotions show of 2013, and what a show the Pro-Wrestling International Promotion of the Year have lined up for you!

It will be the first BWP show that Mr Sean Aston, General Manager, will be in total control of the evenings proceedings. Over the past several weeks Mr Sean Aston has been announcing matches for the BWP Penyffordd show via his new Facebook account, as well as actual matches, Mr Aston has also announced that he will have the currently injured Lord Graham Thomas III & his tag team partner, Sir Dean MacManus, as his personal special guests for the evening, and has granted Knights of the Squared Circle time to address the BWP Faithful – yes, we know, we can hear your pain, as we too will have to endure the droning tones of Lord Thomas & Sir MacManus! one-the-less, we anticipate what they will have to say about their place in the BWP Tag Team Championship Tournament being revoke due to the surgery that Lord Graham Thomas recently underwent.

On that note, one of the matches that Sean Aston has announced has set the BWP Faithful on fire as on the biggest tag teams in British Wrestling, The Blackpool Blonds, debut with Britannia Wrestling Promotions to take on Lee & Jim, The Hunter Brothers, in the opening round of the Tag Team Tournament. The Winner of this round will advance to the final against the winners of next months Team GB Vs Dunne Brothers confrontation. This match is not just tantilising the taste buds of the BWP Faithful, it is setting the saliva glands of the Internet communities running as this is, simply put, one of the British Wrestling dream matches taking place right here in BWP!

The BWP Rookie Division Champion, Marc Morgan, will once again defend his Championship against the former-Rookie Champ, Bam Bam Norton in the rematch that the BWP Faithful demanded, seemingly the new General Manager listened and acted! The last time that these two young Rookies went toe-to-toe last October for the strap (WATCH VIDEO), Marc Morgan took his title and walked away from the ring giving Bam Bam Norton the victory, but not the title. Morgan praised his own methods as being ‘smarter’ than Bam Bam, but can he outsmart, or outrun, the big man again?! Norton is thirsty for pain, having never lost the Rookie Championship last year, he has told us under no uncertain terms that he wants his title back, and he doesn’t want to be kept waiting!

In other BWP Rookie Division action The Executioner looks to inflict a little too much pain on one of the hottest young Rookies from the West Midlands, British Born Steele. B.B.S. has been in action with Britannia Wrestling on a couple of occasions in the past, but this will be his first opportunity to shine in singles action against a guy that, simply put, looks and feels like a solid brick! This should be an interesting match for sure!

In the interest of ‘keeping the fans happy’, Mr Sean Aston has also confirmed the Main Event as being for the PWI:BWP World Catchweight Championship Match between reigning and defending Champion, ‘The Toxic Terror’ Cyanide Vs Penyffordds hometown hero, ’100% Welsh Beef’ Dylan Roberts! As soon as this match was announced via the BWP Social Networks following Mr Astons announcement, the BWP Faithful went crazy to see a match of this calibre taking place to kick start 2013! Can the hometown hero get the job done and bring the biggest prize in Britannia Wrestling Promotions back home to Wales? Or will the ‘Toxic Terrors’ unbreakable bulk and power be too much for the proud Welshman? Whatever the result of this match, you can rest assured that this will be a 2013 Match of the Year contender at least! #Epic

Although more action is promised by the new General Manager, the action he has set so far is enough for us to sit up and take a little notice – can the ‘Aston-Era’ be as big as some people think it may be? As well as new Superstars and big matches, what else can/will Sean Aston do to ensure that his reign as GM lasts for as long as possible? Looking into the past of BWP General Managers, they don’t tend to have long reigns … but can Sean Aston be the exception? One thing a little out of the ordinary that the GM has announced is that The Babyface Pitbull, no doubt with Baz-Mac in tow, will hold a very ‘Special Babyface Pitbull Exhibition Match’ for the Penyffordd crowd. Now, we have emailed and Tweeted both The Babyface Pitbull and his Manager, Baz Mac, to try and ascertain more information on who the opponent will be in this ‘Special’ exhibition match, however following their recent trend, both men have yet to respond. We guess the only way to find out who the Pitbull will be facing, will to be there on the night!

The first show of 2013 is looking to be a blockbuster of a show with lots of surprises for us all … so be sure not to miss out on it, there are VERY few tickets remaining but for those who have not yet purchased tickets, head over to Penyffordd Royal British Legion or contact info@britanniawrestling.co.uk for reservations.

More updates are promised shortly, rest assured that as soon as we know more, you’ll be the first to know.

Denbigh Show Cancelled

It is with regret that Britannia Wrestling Promotions has had no alternative but to cancel this weekends scheduled show at Denbigh Town Hall (Saturday 08 December 2012) due to the recent North Wales floods.

The damage caused by this natural disaster has left the region in a bad state therefore Britannia Wrestling Promotions feels it would be best to reschedule the El Bandito Memorial Tournament to take place on Saturday 23 February 2013 at Denbigh Town Hall.

We apologise for any inconvenience that this may cause, however we are acting in everybody’s best interests and full refunds will be issued immediately. Alternatively, fans who have a ticket for this weekends scheduled show may transfer them to the new February date, please contact jnfo@britanniawrestling.co.uk for further details.

Introducing the NEW BWP General Manager

The Britannia Wrestling Promotions Board of Directors this morning sent us, BWP Admin, a video announcement for the NEW BWP General Manager following the untimely departure of BWP Owner & Founder Steve Saxon from all BWP live events.

There have been numerous rumours about who this new GM will be, many names have been thrown in the mix as potentials, people like DJ King, Baz Mac, ‘The Word’ Rudy Wynne, Shaun ‘The Hammer’ Davis and many more … not a single person guessed that it would be none other than Mr Sean Aston!

Some of you may recognise Sean Aston as the long standing General Manager of Runcorn Wrestling Academy (RWA), having several run-in’s with Steve Saxon during Saxons time at RWA this past Spring/Summer. Sax was appointed by the RWA Board of Directors to reel in Astons untoward ways, this didn’t sit well with the GM who repeatedly tried to out Saxon from the Runcorn training academy on numerous occasions, but Saxon wouldn’t let up that easy.

With Steve Saxon out of the picture, and in a weird twist of ironic fate, the BWP Family are now left wondering ‘what the hell could happen next?’ … how will Sean impact on the BWP locker rooms? He has close connections with several BWP Superstars from his time as RWA General Manager, will there be alliances formed? Will this GM be as corruptible as past GM’s? Or will he call it down the middle and make sure that everything is ‘in the interest of fairness’? Only time will tell, but we for one are excited at the prospect of a new General Manager, with ample experience, bringing some fresh life into Britannia Wrestling Promotions.

Watch the video announcement made by Mr Sean Aston on behalf of the BWP Board of Directors this morning.

It’s All About Baz Mac

Coming straight out of Liverpool with strong links to the Rotunda Boxing gym, Baz Mac entered the wrestling business training under the guidance of Andy Baker at Runcorn Wrestling Academy. Dubbed ‘Laid Back’ Baz Mac, he made his name at the RWA with his acerbic comments and unorthodox style of competition. These two elements would get him into matches and often help him to stolen victories against a host of RWA competitors, including his victory in a Hardcore Match against Santa Claus, this remains Santa’s only defeat and ruined Christmas for a lot of the children who witnessed it.

Baz Mac was soon joined by someone who is now very familiar with Britannia Wrestling fans, The Babyface Pitbull, a long time friend looking to add Professional Wrestling to his list of fighting disciplines. After initially competing against each other “we were booked that way, It was something we thought we needed to do at the time, I know better now.” says Mac. They shook hands revealed their friendship and joined forces causing chaos in the RWA calling themselves ‘Cowboys From Hell’ with Baz Mac the cowardly loud mouth drawing the competition out always looking to sucker punch them and The Pitbull backing his words up with athleticism, aggression and at the time raw MMA style.

They captured the RWA Tag Team Titles together and during the reign they would once again compete against each other. This time for the RWA Women’s Championship! In something resembling a comedy sketch which was disrespectful to Women’s Wrestling, Baz Mac “bested” Pitbull to become the 1st ever Male RWA Women’s Champion as the pair tried to control every available title at the academy. On target to completing the set by aiding the Pitbull in seizing the RWA Heavyweight Title, Baz Mac was drawn away by matters outside of the Wrestling business and was forced to hang up his boots prematurely. Baz Mac and The Babyface Pitbull‘s alliance began before entering the wrestling business and continued after Baz Mac left it.

Britannia Wrestling Promotions became aware of Baz Mac when he arrived at a BWP charity event at Prestatyn Ffrith Beach Arena on Saturday 27th October 2012. BWP Founder & Owner Steve Saxon had joined The Babyface Pitbull in the ring after a victory and announced that he was going to hold a charity auction for a signed Pitbull t-shirt which was swiftly won by a well dressed man at the back of the packed out crowd, who was called to the ring to claim his prize from Saxon and the Pitbull. When asked for payment he produced a microphone from his sleeve bemoaned Saxon’s treatment of Pitbull, bemoaned making Pitbull work for charity, made a derogatory comment about Steve Saxon that can never be repeated even here on the internet, and announced that from now on The Babyface Pitbull’s BWP career was in his hands. This announcement was followed by shocking scenes of The Babyface Pitbull kicking Saxon in his jewels and savaging him in the Canine Clutch at Mac’s command. This incident would cost Saxon a broken collar bone, the same collarbone that Saxon had fractured just 4 weeks earlier in the Denbigh Death Match against The Brands DJ King & Craig Winters, but more notably forcing him into an early retirement from the running of Britannia shows!

Baz Mac has a network of ventures outside of the ring that support his excessive lifestyle and are funding a return, of sorts, to the ring. Baz Mac is a wrestling manager now with Pitbull as his first client. If known history about the pair is anything to go by they will stick together, they are self-serving goal orientated ego maniacs, anybody in a position of power will be bullied or removed and anyone who stands in their way will have to contend with an angry Pitbull whilst being cheap shotted at any opportunity by a calculating Baz Mac. These are not idle threats, these are factual attributes provided by people who have personal experience of the Mac-Pitbull alliance.

WATCH Baz Mac’s Britannia Wrestling Promotions debut at the end of The Babyface Pitbulls match against the debuting ‘Logan’.

El Bandito Memorial Tournament 2012 – The Rounds Confirmed

As his final act as General Manager of Britannia Wrestling Promotions, Owner & Founder Steve Saxon announced the quarter final rounds to take place on Saturday 08 December 2012 as part of the BWP El Bandito Memorial Tournament, the winner of which will receive a guaranteed immediate shot for the PWI:BWP World Catchweight Championship currently held by Cyanide.

Steve Saxon set the following quarter final matches, the winner of each round will advance to the semi-finals, and for two men, the final – all taking place on the same evening!

The quarter final rounds each have a TEN MINUTE time limit, a winner must be decided for each round via pin fall, submission, count our or disqualification.

It has also been mentioned by Steve Saxon prior to his departure from Britannia Wrestling Promotions, that a new General Manager may be announced at the BWP El Bandito Memorial Tournament show, will this have any impact on the tournament and/or it’s matches?

Pitbull Fined – Saxon Retired

Pitbull_Fined

Last Saturday night at the Callum Murray Fundraising Show at Prestatyn Ffrith Beach Arena, The Babyface Pitbull shocked the entire BWP Family by laying out Britannia Wrestling Promotions Founder & Owner Steve Saxon as well as two BWP referee’s in a sudden twist to what was until that point a fun evening for all involved.

The BWP Family were left silenced as an apparent member of the audience was invited to the ring by the BWP Owner to collect a Babyface Pitbull that he had successfully bid on live during the show, at least that is what we all thought, until the ‘lucky winner’ made it clear that he was not their to give to charity. Welcome ‘Baz Mac’, who wasted no time in informing Saxon and the BWP Family that he was at Ffrith Beach Arena to begin his managerial duties for the Babyface Pitbull, as Saxon heard this he turned to question the former 2x PWI:BWP World Catchweight Champion, but before that was possible the Pitbull looked Saxon square in the eyes and delivered a low blow to the boss man that sent him to the mat in agony. As BWP Senior Referee Bryan Bennett and Junior Referee Max Davies hit the ring to assist the shocked and shattered Steve Saxon, they walked into a war zone as the Pitbull continued his path of destruction by taking both officials out with back-breaking spinebusters. As Pitbull repeatidly told the fans in attendance that he ‘is done with them’, the voice of Baz Mac was heard ordering the ‘Canine Suplex Machine’ to finish of Saxon, and Pitbull did exactly what he was told as he visciously tore the shoulder-brace from off the boss man who was still recovering from the fractured collarbone sustained during the Denbigh Death Match last month against The Brand – once it was off, Pitbull locked in the Canine Clutch as Steve Saxon screamed for him to release, but the rabid Pitbull would only release his patented submission manouvre at the command of his new Manager, Baz Mac.

As Pitbull and Baz Mac walked out of the Ffrith Beach Arena to a deafening chorus of boo’s and hisses, ‘Classic’ Ciaran McConnell confronted him demanding to know what the hell was going on … Pitbull seemed to blank his old friend and continued backstage with his new Manager leading the way.

Steve Saxon was taken immediately, once again, to Glan Clwyd Hospital in Bodelwyddan where it was confirmed after x-rays that the previously fractured collarbone was indeed broken due to Pitbulls sick attack, Saxon was then discharged and returned home to his family in Chester in the early hours of Sunday morning.

This morning BWP Admin received an email from the office of Steve Saxon addressing the Babyface Pitbull situation as well as another shock announcement about his own future in Britannia Wrestling Promotions:

‘Good Morning,
On Saturday night the entire BWP Family was left in complete shock at the actions of the Babyface Pitbull, we all witnessed a different side to Pitbull, a man that I considered not only a good business associate, but a good friend. That changed on Saturday.

I have been in this business for almost 15 years and completely understand that Wrestling Superstars need to sometimes shake things up in order to remain relevant and noticed, however the actions of the Babyface Pitbull were unnecessary and he must be penalised for his actions on myself and my referee’s that he assaulted without due cause.

As a result I will be fining the Babyface Pitbull £5,000, a fine that must be paid before Britannia Wrestling Promotions will allow him to compete for our promotion again. It is with regret that it has come to this, Pitbull and I have always worked well together and I am sorry that those days are seemingly over.

A lot of people have been asking me ‘why?’ since Saturday night, a question that I do not have an answer to that question right now, it seems that only two men do have the answer, those men being Pitbull and his new Manager, Baz Mac. I have always been under the impression that Pitbull was happy with his role and ranking in Britannia Wrestling Promotions, clearly, I was mistaken.

On that note, I have been through a lot this year with Britannia Wrestling Promotions with the long, bitter feud with The Brand that was finally put to rest last month, and now this with a man I respected like a brother. This year has also seen the arrival of my daughter Sophie-Leigh, since her arrival on 11 September I personally have been hospitalised twice by disgruntled ego-maniacs within my own company.

After many hours of chatting with my wife, family and BWP Management, I have decided that enough is enough. I have dedicated 15 years of my life to this industry, and almost 5 years to Britannia Wrestling Promotions. It is now time for me to step away from Britannia for the sake of the company and for my own health and well being there will always be somebody waiting to take a physical pop at me in order to get themselves known and noticed – well, I won’t be making anybody else famous from now on, as I will be stepping down as General Manager of Britannia Wrestling Promotions shows with immediate affect.

Of course Britannia Wrestling Promotions still belongs to me, and I will of course continue my work at BWP HQ, however BWP Management will be appointing a new General Manager who will deal with the live Britannia Wrestling shows from now on. I expect that the new GM will be announced prior to or during the El Bandito Memorial Tournament in Denbigh on 08 December.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank every single person who has worked for and with Britannia Wrestling Promotions over the past 4 years for making it a very special time. I have loved every minute of it, mostly, and hope that the company and product continues to grow at amazing lengths as it has been doing for the past 4 years. Most of all I would like to thanks the fans, the BWP Family, for their continued support and loyalty to BWP and for backing me, mostly, in my decisions over that time, without YOU Britannia Wrestling Promotions would be NOTHING!

For now, goodbye and thank you.

Steve Saxon
Owner & Founder
