I remember seeing him at one of the early CZW BOTB's. He and Bobby Quance were awesome at that show. **edit** Oops, I for some reason combined the '02 and '04 shows. Still, they were great on those two nights.

Oh yeah, we were just talking about him and Jonny Storm in the 2016 version of this thread. They are both still around, but get rarely booked for some reason. Of the more popular British promotions Revolution Pro is the only one that books them from time to time. From what I've seen of them they are still pretty good, though. I doubt Fleisch will get picked over Pete Dunne, though. This is the 16 Carat League by the way, in case you were wondering: There's probably a 90% chance the winner will be Da Mack since he has gained a little bit of international fame by being in the CWC. I would prefer Chris Colen, though
clintthecrippler Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Curious to see how Tyler Bate's road in the tournament plays out, since I can't imagine WWE would be okay with their UK champion jobbing out while he's the titleholder.
Sky Blue Sam Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Fight Club Pro have just announced Clint Margera vs Eddie Kingston for Feb 10th, which sounds awesome
clintthecrippler Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 Not gonna lie, I am sure that match will be fine but now I am just mad that no one has booked Eddie Kingston vs Phil Margera. That seems like a match that I am legit shocked has not already been booked by PWS.

Jiji Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 Please give us a first round matchup of Bubblegum vs. Pentagon.
Dewar Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 Bubblegum is just such a wonderful asshole to hate. Same goes for Bram in ICW, even though I cannot give a damn about him in TNA. 1
The Z Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 Sigh, Pete Dunne was supposed to wrestle Matt Riddle at IPW:UK this Sunday and they just announced the match is off, because WWE doesn't want their guys to appear on FloSlam. I guess this one of the downsides of the WWE UK deal.
RIPPA Posted January 19, 2017 Author Posted January 19, 2017 As of now Chris Hero is on both EVOLVE shows Rumble weekend which are on FloSlam so it reads more like IPW isn't an approved fed than specifically a FloSlam thing
The Z Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 Maybe. I guess we'll have to wait and see. Tommy End's two EVOLVE matches back in November weren't allowed to be shown either, so I could see them pulling the Hero matches as well.
The Z Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 Next show to watch out for as far as this issue is concerned will be wXw in London next weekend. The show is supposed to air a few days later on FloSlam and they have three WWE guys in two matches. They have Dunne vs. Fleisch in the 16 Carat Qualifier and A4 vs. Mustache Mountain in the Tag Title Match. They also have Marty Scurll vs. Axel Dieter Jr. in the Main Event and ROH doesn't want their guys on FloSlam either AFAIK, so wXw could be left with almost nothing to air on FloSlam.
Linus Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 Pete Dunne's replacement on the IPW:UK show is Ryan Smile, who is SUPER GREAT. There's so much weird stuff going on in the UK (and across the indies, I guess) at the moment. Things will settle but for now it's all up in the air. I'm going to RevPro on Saturday, which looks like this at the moment... NJPW vs WWN, Unattached vs ROH, NJPW vs WWE, WWE vs ROH/NJPW, Unattached vs ROH?, TNA vs WWE! Wrestling is weird. 2
RIPPA Posted January 21, 2017 Author Posted January 21, 2017 Here is what Dave put in yesterday's update Quote As noted earlier today, Pete Dunne, Mark Andrews and Trent Seven were pulled by WWE from a live podcast taping in London next weekend. The booking of the guests were made months ago, long before there were any plans by WWE to sign U.K. talent or do the tournament. Eddie Dennis, Chris Brookes, Doug Williams, Jonny Storm and Jody Fleisch will replace them. IPW UK announced for its Sunday show in Rochester, England, that Pete Dunne would do a dark match against Tom Dawkins since he can't air on Flo Sports, and Ryan Smile will replace Dunne in the main event against Matt Riddle. Joseph Conners is also off the show and will be replaced by Adam Maxted. WWE did not pull talent (Trent Seven and Pete Dunne) from Saturday’s Revolution Pro show. Seven faces TNA’s Trevor Lee while Dunne faces NJPW’s Yoshi-Hashi. The show isn’t on FloSlam nor will it air live, but there are some basic parameters: WWE contracted talent will be permitted to perform for certain promotions, but the events cannot be distributed (televised, streamed, transmitted or taped) unless authorized. It is said that all talent was told this before signing deals, and is in all of their contracts. Some of the WWE U.K. contracted talent is being brought next week to San Antonio.
RIPPA Posted January 23, 2017 Author Posted January 23, 2017 Kurt Angle was pulled from the 5-Star Show Angle along with Bate, Dunne and Andrews are supposedly going to San Antonio - whether they appear at the Rumble is a different story
The Z Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 So far wXw hasn't pulled them from their Saturday show, yet. I really hope the bolded part from your post before that isn't true. If that's true, I'm completely back into "fuck WWE" mode. That's bullshit!
Linus Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 The promotion that's letting Kota Ibushi & Goto Ihashi have a DDT match in Colchester just announced Pentagon Jr for the same show. Anyone watch the IPW:UK show last night?
The Z Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 Yep, this stinks. The replacements are good, but I'm still not happy about this,
RIPPA Posted January 23, 2017 Author Posted January 23, 2017 Rev Pro has announced Martin Stone vs. Jeff Cobb for their Orlando show Mania weekend
RIPPA Posted January 24, 2017 Author Posted January 24, 2017 WCPW tweeted that Angle will still be facing Alberto Del Rio on their Feb 12 show Assuming Del Rio doesn't fuck over another promotion
Ultimo Necro Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Re: WXW 16 carat league - Marius Van Beethoven might be the greatest name ever, with a name like that he should have been a 80's shred metal guitar hero.
maciej Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 Did the rest of youse guys end up watching that Rampage Brown/Riddle match? I liked it a bunch, and the ending was so different I kinda loved it.
Infinit Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Hey guys I'm looking into hitting up Europe this summer, including a stop in London. Are there any good groups running in London? And are there any big shows in early/mid July? Any and all feedback would be much appreciated!
