At BWP Soul Survivor show in Blundellsands, Liverpool – Jim ‘The Metal ’ King fulfilled his lifelong dream of being a wrestling champion by beating the ‘unbeatable’ El Destello in what was an epic match!

Since November 2009, El Destello has been dominating the BWP ring with the help and aid of his fellow Word Association members … injuring and shelving former BWP Champion Seb Winterz and retiring the highly popular G-Man, two thirds of The Justice Circle … but the remaining third of the J.C. took revenge for his fallen friends by finally de-crowning The Lethal Luchador – now the BWP crown is on a true King!

The Metal has had an impressive few months in Britannia Wrestling Promotions, being the last man standing in Januarys Lethal Lottery match at BWP Tag Team Turmoil – this gained him the chance to enter into the Fatal4Way No1 Contenders match the following month in Denbigh, North Wales at BWP Rural Rumble where he fended off the efforts of ring legend The Iron Duke as well as Andy Baker and MMA fighter the Babyface Pitbull to be crowned the No1 Contender to El Destello’s title.

Leading into BWP Soul Survivor, Jim received a lot of support and encouragement from BWP Superstars and fans who wanted to see Destello’s reign as BWP top-dog come to an end – and they all got what they wanted, as Jim King overcame El Destello’s entourage of ‘The Word’ Rudy Wynne & Miss Kitty as well as a  lethal kendo-stick shot as well as his Shotgun signature move.  A beaten and exhausted Jim King seemed to rise with the roars of the Liverpudlian crowd as he managed to lock prevent Destello from hitting his old-school swanton bomb from the top rope and instead locked him into his own signature move ‘The Rule’!  Knocking the Mexican champion clear out, and fortunately for The Metal, for the count!

As Destello lay motionless in the ring following Kings knock-out blow … the BWP fans flocked the ring to celebrate with their new BWP World Catchweight Champion – JIM ‘THE METAL’ KING!

Hells Belles (HB) says: I’m here with BWP World Catchweight Champion, El Destello and have a few short questions regarding the awards he won last Saturday at the BWP Awards Bash.

So you won villain of the year and match of the year for your match with G-Man

Q1       How do you feel about winning your awards?

El Destello (ED) says: I deserve both. The BWP fans vote for me as Villain of the year because they hate that I beat their favourite G Man, and I beat their champion Seb Winterz – just like G Man and Winterz, the fans are jealous of El Destello – they hate me because they want to be half the man El Destello is … and they will never be just a fraction of who I am and the Match of the year – the fans chose just one of the many matches that El Destello has been in – lucky for G-Man, they pick a match that he was lucky to be in, lucky for his credit, unlucky for his reputation as biggest loser as G-Man, just like the fans, is not as good as El Destello.  G-Man should thank me 100 times for winning him a trophy

HB says: Well that is an interesting slant on the match of the year award and one I would expect from you. You have partially touched on my second question but perhaps you can elaborate

Q2       Why do you think the fans voted for you?

ED says: Because I am worth voting for.  The only reason Seb Winterz got the wrestler of the year award was because the fans pity his loss to me at Cruel Intentions show.  The fans are stupid, they hate me, but at the same time present me with an award.  This proves to El Destello what the British people are like – two faced and dumb.

HB says: Well as ever you show your disregard for the British fans but perhaps this next question will make you think favourably of your colleagues

Q3       If you had been presenting this award, who would you have given it to and why?

ED says: Which award you talk of? Villain of the year or Match of the year?

No matter – if I was to present Villain of the year I would present to Marcus King, it brought a tear to my eye to see him break his younger brother. If I present Match of the year I would present to Marcus King and his wimp brother Jim, but would not let Jim collect his half of the award – instead I would give both to Marcus – he proved his strength and that he was the better brother but I was not presenting, I was in Mexico at the awards time … no matter, I deserved the awards I got, and should have won more
HB says: I expected you would choose one of the Word Association and it is interesting that you chose Marcus over LGT. Of course it was not your choice it was the fans and for some reason they did choose you (each to their own I suppose). Anyway the last question is a bit of fun if you understand the word

Q4       If you could have won any award, real or imaginary, what award would you have liked to win?

ED says: Perhaps next year the BWP will introduce 2 new things.

1. The Superstar of the Millennium – winner being me!

and

2. A new, better and male interviewer who is polite and respectful to their champion!

HB says: Very sexist El Destello but I would expect nothing less from you. Thank you for answering the questions so fully, as usual.

ED says: I haven’t finished

HB says: Go on then (Hells Belles sighs)

ED says: Su bien venida mujer pequeña – I am now done

HB says: That phrase apparently means “you’re welcome little woman” – well I hope that’s what it means.

With the return of the Lethal Luchador El Destello as Rudy’s representitive in the first ever Saxons Sure Shot challenge against The G-Man, Rudy had banked him a winner as these two long time enemies thrashed each other within an inch of their lives to grasp the contract for a title shot – Rudy’s added last minute stipulation that the match would be a No Holds Barred match was clearly set-up in the favour of the returning Mexican, as he strutted to the ring with his Singapore cane in one hand a steel chain in the other.  This match resulted in senior referee Tom Ball stopping the match as Destello and fellow W.A. member Marcus King beat G-Man to an unconcious state, this enslaught would and could have been fatal if it was not for the BWP World Catchweight Champion Seb Winterz making the save for his friend, The G-Man.

Earlier in the evening was the highly anticipated match between the King Brothers, as Jim ‘The Metal ’ King tried to overcome his older brother, turncoat Marcus King, who was accompanied by a distracting Rudy Wynne .  This back and forth match resulted in Marcus having his hand raised in victory, much to the delight of a beaming Rudy Wynne.

The third member of Word Association, Lord Graham Thomas , challenged Seb Winterz for his title – not once, but twice in one night.  After Seb finished off LGT for the 3 count, ‘The Word’ sneakily placed LGT’s left foot onto the bottom rope, as Seb was leaving the ring to the roar of the Seb-friendly crowd, Rudy ordered him back to the ring and that the match was to be re-started – a disgruntled Winterz reluctantly returned to the ring to be attacked by LGT, however even a rear attack and a second chance was not enough for the blue blood to capture gold, as Seb Winterz beat him for a second time, this time ensuring that Rudy was not able to put any part of LGT’s body on the rope!

Although LGT did not capture the gold, El Destello saw the window of opportunity wide open as a tired, battered and tired Seb Winterz confronted Rudy Wynne, Destello attacked him from behind with his Singapore cane, unleashing shot after shot to the champs body.  Once Seb was down and out, Destello slammed the Saxons Sure Shot Challenge case into the chest of referee Tom Ball as Rudy demanded Tom start the match – so for the third time within a matter of minutes, Seb Winterz was again defending his gold.  As soon as Tom Ball called for the bell, Destello jumped onto Seb thinking that he already had the win in hand … however the big man kicked out to the delight, and suprise, of the BWP Nation.

Destello and Rudy were both in shock, allowing Seb a brief moment to turn things around in his favour, as he hit the manic Mexican with a big elbow drop setting him up for the Rock Bottom … however Destellos quick experience and quick feet quickly turned things back in his favour as he dodged Winterz finisher move and hit a brain-shattering enzuiguri on the champ.

As Seb refused to stay down, Rudy Wynne again interacted with the match and managed to distract the referee as Destello once again reached for the same cane that Seb had felt the wrath of just moments before … with the referees back turned, Destello cracked Winterz skull with the cane, knocking the big man out and allowing Destello to get the 3 count.

As Destello and Rudy celebrated in the ring, LGT and Marcus King entered the ring and all 4 Word Association members contiued the brutal attack on Seb Winterz to a chorus of boo’s and hisses from the angry Wrexham crowd – until the former champ was saved by his two friends, The G-Man and Jim ‘The Metal’ King who chased of the eveil Word Association members.

As Seb was carried backstage to receive medical attention, a furious G-Man and Jim King remained in the ring and announced to the red hot crowd that they were sick and tired of Rudy Wynne and his new found allies and that Seb Winterz, The G-Man and Jim King were not accepting there dirty antics no more … and if Rudy wants to play the game of gang warfare – then a war is what they will get as the 3 fan favourites will  be known as The Justice Circle – and that they will not settle nor be beaten, until justice is served in the BWP.

Although The Justice Circle may have declared war against The Word Association, there is no denying that Rudy Wynne and his Association members certainly won the battle at Cruel Intentions.

It has been announced that BWP Superstar, The Lethal Luchador El Destello , has returned to his homeland of Mexico where he will remained for the foreseeable future. BWP General Manager Rudy Wynne announced this shocking news earlier today by email, stating that he and Destello’s manager McGrou had ‘mutually agreed that El Destello could be granted time away from the BWP in order to return to Mexico’. This is the only explanation on why the Lethal Luchador needed or wanted to return back home with apparent sudden urgency.

Britanniawrestling.co.uk will press this matter with the BWP office and will keep you updated with further updates.

In the first match, The G-Man Simon Gaytley has been put into a match against Lord Graham Thomas . The feud has been developing for the past weeks on the BWP Forum, and G-Man has agreed to put his position in the grand finale up against Lord Graham Thomas. However should Lord Graham Thomas lose, then he will be forced to wear a dress!

In the interest of fairness, Steve Saxon has also put Seb Winterz in a match before the grand finale. He will be faced a newcomer Derek “The Motivator” Evans. Not much is known of this former fitness guru , except that he his making his debut. How will he face against Daddy Cool Seb Winterz, and can he produce an upset with Seb having one eye undoubtedly on the finale?

Steve Saxon has also decreed that whoever is the next General Manager of the BWP, will have the chance to name the qualifiers for the BWP Championship Showdown.

* Card subject to change

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?

Ultimately the experience combined with the sick and twisted mind of El Destello ruled over G-Man – who had almost clinched victory on numerous occasions throughout the match.  G-Man ended up in North Staffordshire hospital overnight suffering from an array of injuries as well as concussion as a result of The Lethal Luchadors over the top assault during, and after the match!

G-Man has since declared that no matter what it takes, no matter where it is, no matter how long he waits, ‘it ain’t over!’ – the self confessed ‘Man’s Man’ has declared that he will get revenge against the Mexican and feels that Destello’s hunger for the BWP gold is his weakness …. ‘You cost me a night of my life, I’ll cost you the BWP title’ roared the irate and motivated G-Man, referring to Destello’s clear anger and frustration over being the first man eliminated in the BWP Eliminator Final match, by the  new number 1 contender, Tommy Gunn.

G-Man also noted that in the classic encounter between he and Destello, that it took the Mexican 3 chair shots, a kendo stick shot and a choke out move to put out G-Man – ’sticks and chairs may break my bones, but Destello will never hurt me!’

From the offset Destello took it to the G-Man hard – hitting him with fierce and brutal punches and kicks, G-Man was able to outwit the masked Mexican menace and gave the Silverdale natives a few laughs along the way as he tiraded in the ring, humiliating Destello as well as physically punishing him!  

The brawl soon ended up on the arena floor amongst the spectators, G-Man & Destello tried to finish each other off as they slammed each other through walls, tables and doors … fighting around, under and on top of the tables … they threw everything at each other, brutally beating each other to a bloody pulp … even the audience members became involved in this masacre as G-Man invited 2 audience members to send in a couple of blood-vessel popping slaps on the Mexicans chest.

Although G-Man had the crowd behind him, and gave the Lethal Luchador a run for his money, it was not enough for the fun loving fairy to get the win, as Destello managed to get literally smash as chair over his head, busting open the G-Lips and decking him!  Destello was not finished, as he gave Gaytley 2 other chair shots to the skull followed by a Kendo stick shot to the centre of the G-Mans make-up covered eyes!  As the ref was about hit the 3 count in favour of Destello, the mad Mexican broke the count and slapped on the DSTF with the Kendo stick around the G-Mans throat – referee Rudy Wynne instantly called for the bell, although El Destello had not finished with the unconscious Gaytley – he continued to throttle the G-Man … until Rudy Wynne called for BWP Head of Security, Wayne Hambleton to manhandle the masked man off the motionless body of Simon Gaytley.

Gaytley was immediately rushed to North Staffordshire hospital for urgent treatment, having lost a lot of blood and being unconcious for almost 5 minutes, concerns grew over the well being and health of the flamboient G-Man.  Doctors attended to the wounds and laserations of Gaytley and kept him in for overnight observations.

This morning, BWP Founder Steve Saxon contacted britanniawrestling.co.uk to inform us that Simon Gaytley had been discharged from hospital and had been taken home to North Wales to get some much needed and earnt rest, the G-Man is in high spirits given the over the top beating that he took from El Destello.  No further information is available at this time on the condition of Gaytley, although we will try to get hold of him shortly to try and get his thoughts and comments on what is being dubbed as the most brutal battle that British wrestling has ever witnessed!

The tournament will feature 4 first round matches, with the winners of these single matches advancing to the tournament grand final, in a fatal four way elimination match. Wrestlers will be eliminated by pinfall or submission, and the last man standing will be the #1 contender to the BWP Championship, and will advance to the BWP Title match at a later date.

That’s the excitement for the BWP Silverdale Eliminator at the Silverdale WMC on April 3rd, but what of the competitiors themselves? Here are the eight men in with a shot of being crowned #1 Contender at Silverdale Eliminator!

Seb Winterz
Very little is known about this giant Siberian Psycho, but after an impressive debut at a show in Llanwrtyd Wells last month, Seb Winterz could be considered one of the favourites. A man posessed with a brutal hard hitting style, Seb Winterz could be one to watch for the future.

One thing to note is that his Transiberian Express partner – Night Stalker – could play a part.

On his first round opponent – Angelos : Mince meat…. Light work…. take your pick of pathetic british sayings from this pestilant little country. If I were Nelos, I would not come near stoke on the 3rd of April… I will destroy him in the ring. I will out wrestle him, out smart him and prove my dominance not only as a tag team wrestler but as a singles competitor aswell.

On who he would like to face in the final: I do not care who I face in the finals, I only care about winning the BWP title and being the most terrifying and manical force in this company. However it would be very fitting to meet The Metal in the final of this competition, because after I destroy his brother in my qualifying match, to will be very poetic to single handedly take care of that tag team!

METAL… NELOS… I GOT THE TASTE OF YOUR BLOOD 2 WEEKS AGO AND I LIKE IT, DON’T BE SUPRISED IF YOU SEE ME BEFORE THE SHOW ON APRIL 3RD BECAUSE I DON’T THINK I CAN WAIT THAT LONG BEFORE I GET SOME MORE!

Angelos
After being pinned by Seb Winterz last month, the charismatic and talented Angelos petitioned to BWP owner Steve Saxon to face him in one on one action. Impressed with the fire and determination

Himself newcomer to both the BWP, Angelos will be keen to get on the win sheet, and prove to himself, and his ever growing fanbase that he is not just a pretty face and flashy moves, but he can get the job done.

On his first round opponent – Seb Winterz: Sebastian Winterz is a monster of a man with agility as well as raw power who also got the better of me at Llanwrtyd Wells.

But the way i see it, he had the Night Stalker do all the work and when he was in trouble he brought the siberian psycho in to keep the metal and myself down, now one on one we’ll see if the russian grim reaper can make me play russian roulette Or will I hit the Jackpot?!

On who he would like to face in the final: There are two people i’d like to face in the final, either El Destello as he seems to be the top guy in the BWP and i would like to test my self against the best.

And of course the second person would be The Metal. There is no reason needed!

Metal
The youngest man in the tournament at just 17 years old, Metal is the other half of The Supernaturals with Angelos, and is Angelos’ younger brother. Metal had an impressive showing at his first show, and as such Steve Saxon has put him in the Elimination Tournament. One half of the most popular tag team of Metal will have his work cut out to win the Elimination tournament, but there is no questioning his heart, and who knows how far this unproven youngster could go at Silverdale?

On his first round opponent – The Red Dragon: Red Dragon is a big man theres no doubt about it. And im sure when people see him,then they see me, there going to assume the match is already over..But i didn’t get to the BWP lying down and thinking size was an issue..So come April 3rd, don’t think me the underdog..Think ME the one HE should be afraid of.

On who he would like to face in the final: First and most of all i’d like to meet Sebastian Winterz in the final 4, but he of course will first have to meet my fist. Apart from that any will do,i’ll gladly try and take on the best. Even if that means my own brother..I’m sure he’ll understand.

El Destello
In the last decade, El Destello has been dominating the UK ranks of professional wrestling. The native of Guadalajara, Mexico, El Destello was trained by the legendary El Bandito. Never far from his trusty cane, and having previous experience on winning knockout tournaments, El Destello is considered a huge favourite. However, depending on who joins him in the Elimination match, the lethal luchador, by his sheer lack of friends in the locker room, could find himself eliminated very quickly.

On his first round opponent – “G-Man” Simon Gaytley : Ah mi Gios of all the stars i could have faced in the opening round, i get that sick freak Gaytley! You see amigo, it does not matter who i got in the first round, El Destello is going through the Eliminator final and will then go on to become the number 1 contender for the BWP strap homes! Sadly for Gaytley he has drawn the short straw man, he is not only facing the Lethal Luchador in the Eliminator, but our match has been set as a no DQ match man, romperé este niño – Gaytley won’t know what has hit him, and Stoke on Trent will be begging to see more of El Destello!

On who he would like to face in the final: Quién cuidados man, who gives a dam, whether it is Tommy Gunn, The Red Dragon or any of the other perdedores in this tournament, El Destello will walk over them all and claim the number 1 contenders slot – and then, take my place as the rightful BWP Champion!

The Red Dragon
The biggest man in the tournament. The man from the hills & the valleys of North Wales could be considered another “big” favourite. The Red Dragon has been traveling the length & breadth of the UK, destroying all comers in every major city in the UK. His brutal style has been refined by Orig Williams and Klondyke Kate, and what better way to cement his ascent up the rankings that for this hungry 21 year old to be named #1 contender for the BWP Title?

“G-Man” Simon Gaytley
Could we see a rather effeminate #1 contender come midnight on April 3rd? If the G-Man has is way, we may do. The superstar who is the longest in the shower may just unnerve his fellow competitors enough so he can walk all over them to the #1 contendership. But don’t let his in ring antics fool you, he’s one tough cookie in his own right.

On his first round opponent – El Destello: There is only one word that can accurately describe El Destello…..DEVIANT!

The last time we met (view a video of it here) , we were back and forth, literally beating each other off, until eventually i was on top, hammering him both in and out of the ring. He however came on top, when, as the ref’ was distracted, he got behind me, took his big weapon in both hands. As i turned to face him he drove his weapon at me with full force and proceeded to bang me in the mouth with it!

Before i knew it i was flat on my back, and he had me, right there in the middle of the ring!

This time i’m going to make sure we do things properly….no disqualification! He’d better have his weapon at the ready…because i’m bringing mine…and i know how to use it!

On who he would like to face in the final: The Red Dragon is another man who i’ve had in the ring on occasion but has always managed to beat me off! Up until now red dragon has always been a bit too much for the g-man to handle! I mean this man is huge!

This time I have a game plan…not going into details…but lets just say the G-man always ends up on top!

Jay Icon
This 6′5″ competitor from Birmingham towers over most of the competition, and has a wealth of experience for this tournament. Already successful in singles competition in the BWP, in a match where he suffered a knee injury. He has proven he can win against the odds, can he do it in Stoke and become the #1 Contender?

Tommy Gunn
Little is known of this popular, high flying youngster from the Midlands. Tommy Gunn has been wowing crowds throughout the midlands, and he will be appearing at the BWP Silverdale Elimination. An unknown enigma, it is impossible to say just how far – if anywhere – this youngster will go in this tournament.

So there are your 8 competitors. Who do you think will win? Leave your thoughts in the comments!

Britannia Wrestling Promotions will be at the Silverdale Working Mens Club, Newcastle Under Lyme, Stoke-On-Trent on Friday 2nd April, 2009. Tickets are £8 Adults, £5 children. For information on how to buy advanced tickets, please check out the show page .

Destello smashed the Champions Cup solid silver trophy to pieces over the big man’s skull, busting him wide open and costing him the victory in the final of the International Knock-Out Tournament.

Paramedics were on hand to treat Dragon, who was resistant to receive any assistance as he fought to try and locate El Destello and his cronies.
