Sabotage Retires

Tuesday, July 19th, 2011


At BWP Championship Chase III on Saturday 09 July 2011, ‘Rapid Fire’ Tommy Gunn informed the BWP Nation that his tag team partner and fellow BWP Tag Team Champion, Sabotage, had retired from Professional Wrestling, taking the advice of his doctors and surgeons.

Sabotage & Tommy Gunn captured not only the BWP Tag Team Championship titles earlier this year, more importantly they captured the hearts of the BWP Fans.  Their unique style as a duo made an instant impact here in Britannia Wrestling Promotions, fans and peers alike ‘marked out’ when Sab-Gunn were on the show.

Setting the benchmark for future BWP tag teams, Denbigh Town Hall witnessed the Tag Team Turmoil II event that crowned Sab-Gunn as the BWP Tag Team Champions and an undeniable force to reckoned with in the Britannia Wrestling tag team ranks.

Unfortunately Sabotage sustained a serious and severe neck injury several years ago whilst wrestling in the UK that rendered him out of action for a substantial amount of time.  Sabotage suffered a broken neck that was surgically repaired using metal plates.  Defying all medical and professional odd’s, Sabotage returned to action after putting himself through a vigorous rehabilitation regime.

At BWP Resurrexion Sunday on 24th April 2011 Sabotage participated in the Championship Tournament to crown the new BWP World Catchweight Champion.  Sabotage went face to face with The Brand’s Cyanide.  During this knock-out round event Sabotage took a lethal blow to the head at the hands of his opponent and with a little help from the BWP World Catchweight Championship belt, causing Sabotage concussion as well as causing severe damage to his surgically repaired neck.

Sabotage underwent a series of medical examinations over the days and weeks following his match with The Brand’s Cyanide, but it wasn’t destined to be good news for the big man as doctors gave him no other alternative but to quit the wrestling business for the better of his health and family.  Sabotage, a devoted and loving family man decided to do what was best for his health, his wife and his children and finally hung up his boots in the BWP locker room for the final time, but he will forever be remembered as the guy that took Britannia Wrestling Promotions by storm, raised the bar on so many different levels and will forever be remembered as not only one half of the first ever BWP Tag Team Champions …. but as The Man!

On behalf of the entire BWP Nation of Wrestlers, Crew, Management and ultimately the BWP Fans … we say ‘Thank you Alex’.

BWP Brawl 4 All – Time To Rumble

Monday, February 28th, 2011

b4a

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!

Tag Teams Talk – Sights Set on Tag Gold

Friday, February 18th, 2011

DTH

The BWP tag team division are preparing for battle with just 1 week to go before they all step into the Tag Team Turmoil Championship Tournament – eight teams will compete in quarter final knock-out rounds but only one team will have what it takes to go all the way and be officially crowned as the 1st ever BWP Tag Team Champions!

BWP Admin caught up with the eight tag teams involved in this spectacular event and got some comments from each of them, here’s what they had to say:

‘CLASSIC’ CIARAN McCONNELL & COREY E

“They say the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and if that rings true then Corey E must be my best friend, because
the Brand is most certainly the enemy. Denbigh, February 26th, Tag team Turmoil II, Corey E & I stand together, Two
men, two goals: To bring back with us the Tag Team Championship and to Take a Stand… against The

Classic: ‘They say the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and if that rings true then Corey E must be my best friend, because the Brand is most certainly the enemy. Denbigh, February 26th, Tag team Turmoil II, Corey E & I stand together, Two men, two goals: To bring back with us the Tag Team Championship and to Take a Stand… against The Brand!’

Corey: ‘I’m feeling confident going into Tag Team Turmoil next weekend.  Not only is this because I am tagging with a guy who is over 6ft tall and a great technical wrestler in ‘Classic’ Ciaran McConnell, but because I myself have have had over a years experience in tag team wrestling.  Now this is an advantage which I know the majority of the other seven teams don’t have and I think that is a quality which will help us progress significantly through to the final.  Whether we have to battle friend or foe we have ONE aim, ONE goal, ONE destiny, and that is for myself and The Classic to prevail and become BWP’s first ever Tag Team Champions.’

SABOTAGE & TOMMY GUNN

Sabotage: ‘I’m looking forward to working with the best high flyer in BWP to take on and dominate the Tag Team Division. I’ve held 4 different tag team championships on the past 9 years and am looking forward to adding a 5th.

We represent the perfect balance of Power and Agility and everyone will fall at our feet.’


SHAUN ‘THE HAMMER’ DAVIS & JOEY STARR

Joey Starr: ‘Listen here dude, theres no question whats gonna happen at Tag Team Turmoil II, Mr Universe Joey Starr and The Hammer are gonna tear through the competition, bite, kick, claw and batter their way to be crowned the first ever BWP Tag Team Champions.

We are without a doubt the most physically imposing team that BWP has ever, ever seen, at Tag Team Turmoil II we prove it when we become, CHAMPIONS!’

The Hammer: ‘I will keep these comments short and sweet – TOTAL DOMINATION … nobody stands a chance against Joey Starr and The HAMMER … just hand over the title belts right now before someone gets hurt!’


THE BRAND: DANZIG BROS

Danzigs: ‘So my brother and I have a place in the Tag Team Turmoil in Denbigh next weekend.  Now as far as we’re concerned that means nothing but bad news for the BWP and whoever they throw our way and nothing but good for The Brand.

We’ve been fighting side by side for our whole lives. Last I checked there isn’t another team in BWP that can say that. Were taking those belts for The Brand and thats all there is to it.’


THE BRAND: DJ KING & CYANIDE

DJ King: ‘For anyone who wasnt fortunate enough to be in Chester for Brand night let me give you a little re-cap.  Me and the big man destroyed D Mac and put everyone who is gunning for those titles on check.  It doesn’t matter if it’s Tommy Gunn and Sabotage, Joey Starr & The Hammer or anyone else who thinks they can rub shoulders with the likes of us, the result will be the same.  DJ King and Cyanide : the first EVER BWP Tag Team Champions.’


RED SAINT & D MAC

Saint: ‘Well after beating 2 members of The Brand in one night, The Red Saint can’t wait to see what The Brand has planned at Tag Team Turmoil  …..and remember ……. THE SAINT HAS ARRIVED!!’

D Mac: ‘As the youngest BWP Catchweight Champ in history I am all about breaking records, so I know this the help of my homie The Red Saint I will become one half of the first ever BWP Tag Team Champions.  Its been hard to find a partner who I can trust after my former best friend DJ King turned his back on me and cost me the BWP title, but I know that on the 26th February in Denbigh me and Red Saint will be walking out Tag Team Champions!’

THE PRIMETIME PLAYA’S

Sensation: ‘Ever since I came to BWP last August The Sensation said big things would follow with him and many have said that has yet to happen, but now we’re in a new year and 2011 is the year of Sensation and what better way to kick it off than to make history and become one half of the 1st ever BWP Tag Team Champions. The Sensation wants to make something clear though and that is, he does not need anyone by his side, nor does he need anyone to accomplish great things but seeing as BWP management won’t let The Sensation enter this tournament alone, he has no choice but to get a tag team partner. Now Tag Team wrestling in this promotion has caused The Sensation many problems and the reason for that is every partner he’s had has let him down and been the route of his loosing. His former girlfriend, Melanie Price back in August and then The bouncer in November. The Sensation can’t team with people like that. People who are clearly not sensational. So The Sensation has done the only thing he can do and that is find a tag team partner that shares his qualities and the reason for that is because of blood. My tag team partner is my half brother, Jonny Jakpot. So i ask every team, how confident are you now knowing your entering a tournament against two brothers that know each other better than anything? I’ve said nothing looks better than gold around The Sensations sexy waist and come Tag Team Turmoil II, The Primetime Playa’s will rock this promotion down to it’s very core and take everything and anything that comes our way and anything that happens to be stood in our way, well get ready to become the past because the present and future has arrived.’

Jakpot: ‘Me and my half brother might as well be brothers because we’ve grown up as that and together we have a dream of holding Tag Titles together. On February 26th that dream becomes a reality and not because we’ve waited for the dream to come to us, it’s because we’ve gone and made that dream happen. BWP is about to see a change and that change is, it’s going primetime. The Primetime Playa’s will lead that by holding their tag team titles and if any other team that is thrown together at the last minute or any of the current teams think they are actually going to be an issue to us, well think again because as my half brother said, we know each other better than anything else. Thats the one thing missing from all the teams in this tournament, they don’t know each other like The Primetime Playa’s do. We’re family and we’re making sure the gold stays in the family because gold follows us around just like the women do if you know what i’m saying.’


JACOB ISRAEL & SPRINGBOK MATTHEWS


Springbok:
‘Tag Team Turmoil II is not just another show to me like it may be to some other competitors, to me it is a great opportunity to prove myself.  Not only is it a chance to grasp hold of BWP Tag Team gold, it is my return to BWP after being absent for 12 months due to injury.  For the last year whilst BWP carried on evolving and constantly moving forward I have been on the sidelines with no choice but to watch.  While titles have changed hands and legacies have been created, I’ve had no choice but to look in whilst to get my fitness back.

Now that has all changed and I am ready to return to BWP with a new stronger style and levels of determination.  I know th task before me at Tag Team Turmoil II is far from east but I assure you that Jacob Israel and myself will not lie down and will not be walked over and there is every chance we can win this.’

A Friend For Life

FRIENDS

In a strange twist of events at BWP Denbigh Town Hall Brawl 2 last month, The Bouncer took it upon himself to teach Tommy Gunn a lesson having lost 2 consecutive matches involving Gunn.  As The Bouncer dragged Tommy back into the ring to hand out another serving of punishment – and things started to look even worse for the popular Gunn as his victor from the September, Sabotage, walked to the ring and was presented a beaten Tommy Gunn by a gleaming Bouncer.

What happened next shocked both the BWP audience and Tommy Gunn as Big Sab KO’ed The Bouncer with a perfectly fitting forearm smash – sending the cock sure Bouncer crashing through the ropes and to the venue floor.  As Tommy looked up at Sabotage in complete astonishment, Sabotage offered his hand as a gesture of peace … graciously accepted by a thankful Tommy Gunn.

Sabotage then told Tommy, in an act of class, that what he witnessed during their match in September was Tommy Gunn proving that he is one of the hardest working and most talented guys in the BWP locker room.  Sab acknoweldged Tommys efforts in September and told him that he was a credible opponent and for that reason, Tommy has a friend for life!

The BWP fans certainly appreciated what Sabotage did for Tommy Gunn as they applauded the two BWP Superstars as they left the ring together, Sabotage clearly seen to be aiding Gunn who was struggling to walk backstage on his own following his grueling tag team victory and the beating further absorbed from The Bouncer.

Already announced for the opening BWP show of 2011is a major tag team match as Sabotage & Tommy Gunn have been paired up to take on Lord Graham Thomas and his bodyguard, Shaun ‘The Hammer’ Davis.  Will the friends for life be able to gel quick enough to fend off LGT and the The Hammer – Tommy & Lord Graham Thomas are no strangers to each other having crossed paths in numerous singles matches in their BWP careers – but with the added British beef in this match how will this affect the Rapid Fire and the Lord?

Competitor Profiles – Silverdale Eliminator – Newcastle Under Lyme, Stoke, April 3rd

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

In a few short days on April 3rd, Britannia Wrestling Promotions will descend on Silverdale, Stoke-on-Trent for the Silverdale Eliminator. A unique concept to the show, as the entire show will be a tournament to crown the first contender for the soon to be introduced BWP Championship!

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 .
