Welcome back to the UK Scene with myself Saracen, or Sazza as some like to call me, I’m here back from tales of derring do in Great Yarmouth to bring you the summary of the news across the UK Scene.
Let’s hope you are reading this an hour behind like you’re supposed to!
3CW have kicked us off this week with the news that Low-Ki and the Amazing Red are to appear on their show on 11th November at the The Billingham Synthonia Social Club in Billingham, Cleveland.
Low-Ki is set to team with Heavyweight Champion Stevie Lynn to face The Amazing Red & the former 3CW Champion ICE XVII. Sounds like a painful match!
Also scheduled to appear are the 3CW Young Lions Champion Kid Richie, Chris Whitton, 3CW Tag Team Champions Cutting EDGEucation, and Blake Norton.
Ticket Prices: Adult £5 (Ringside £7) Child/OAP £4 (Ringside £6) Family £15 (at least 2 children) (Ringside £21).
Now, the whole thing about ringside seat prices really confuses me, now ok, you have Low-Ki turning up to this event and the people who like his style will come in their droves to meet him. That brings money in and 3CW are quite reasonable to charge extra for a “closer look” but I’ve seen some federations do this with their homegrown talent… why? Just means everyone is going to sit at the back and it will look bad if you are recording it for that WWE tryout!
The lovely Devilish Angel reported to us that the promoters of Universal Uproar (AKA Alex Shane most likely) have confirmed the rumour that AJ Styles, Rhino, Spike Dudley and Austin Aries will not be appearing due to the TNA PPV the night before. They will be replaced by The Sandman, D Lo Brown, Low Ki, and Joe Legend, so looking at it, it really isn’t a bad swap.
Universal uproar will be held on Saturday 12th November at The Skydome, in Coventry.
The match of interest in this show? The eight man hardcore rules tag match, Mick Foley, The Sandman, Steve Corino & Paul Travell vs. Alex Shane, Stixx, Martin Stone & Iceman. I sense that with the amount of rock teeshirt wearing fans screaming for blood at 1PW, this is probably the match that is causing the most buzz.
Of note to the Old style British fans, there is a World of Sport (AKA Wrestling Channel) Hall of Fame ceremony with Kendo Nagasaki, Mick McManus, and Steve Grey.
Ticket Prices are £85 to £10.
Determined not to be out done, 1PW have announced a two day tour for you to spend even more money than you did last time. Yes 1PW went from 7pm to midnight on their debut show, now they have split it into two days!
Yes! You lucky people get to pay loads of money for each!
Remember last week I had an emotional moment about perhaps they could use some of the superb British talent that exists in the country today and not the usual America Friendly Doug Williams and TV friendly Johnny Storm? Not that there is anything wrong with either wrestler.
1PW have announced that the British entries to the card will be…
Wait for it…
Jonny Storm & Jody Fleisch vs. Low-Ki & Homicide
and
Doug Williams vs. Homicide
D’oh! Ok 1PW I’m giving up on you now!
