Night Two of the “Shelter in Place Tour” takes place tonight from Mexico City where we’ll have some exciting lucha action on display. We see the first match from El Macho since he lost his mask, the return of ZDM, the singles debut of Jack Gold, and a “Primo vs Primo” for the Lucha POWER Championship!
The show will kick off at 5pm PT LIVE ON TWITCH.
Match Previews:
Hexagon Jr./Diego Guerrero/El Macho vs ZDM (La Guerra)A potential show stealing opener as a newly unmasked El Macho teams up with two exciting up and comers against the legendary rudo trio, ZDM. There is a lot of history between ZDM and the Lucha POWER roster, and this match will no doubt add another chapter, and perhaps renew a dormant rivalry... Doctor Dorado vs Jack GoldJack Gold will make his official singles debut as a member of the Lucha Power roster against the wiley veteran Doctor Dorado. There are rumors Macho has big plans for the former Warrior Pro rookie if he can stay focused and live up to his potential, and Dorado could be an excellent test to see just how far away the promising high flier is. Nightmare Clown vs Dungeon DominguezAfter an impressive near year long reign as champion, Dungeon Dominguez looks to get back in the title picture amongst rumors that his former employer, Paco Pequeno, has been in contact with the big man. His is also looking to earn a win after losing to Pantero Negro Jr. Little is known about Nightmare Clown other than his thirst for violence- which could make this singles match a blood bath very quickly. The winner should see themselves on the short list for a title fight, and the loser might very well need a hospital bed. Lucha POWER Championship: Pantero Negro Jr (c) vs Lobo MuerteA match that has been teased since El Macho re-opened the doors to the promotion over a year ago. Lobo has dazzled crowds in La Guerra and Warrior Pro, but always seems to come up just short at claiming the top prize of Lucha POWER. Meanwhile his older cousin has been on his own journey to lay his claim as one of the top rudo’s in all of lucha libre. The lure of the gold finally cracked an unstable alliance and now we see two of the very best square off. To say this match carries high expectations would be an understatement.
SEE ALL THE ACTION LIVE TONIGHT ON LUCHA POWER PRESENTS! |

Sorry to have missed this live, my dude.
The opener was kind of a clusterfuck lol. Not in a bad way, mind. Just some three-way spots missed and such. And pretty slow-going at first for a lucha match.
Then the Tomas-approved spot really turned the tide. Macho dragging Cicatrices only to get absolutely rocked was great. Then a cool double team with Guerrero holding the dude for a dropkick by Hexagon. Solida del Sol into the running senton and counter 'rana spot was fucking awessomeee. And the biggggg dive whiff hahahahaha. Big fuck-up by not pinning off the big ol' twisty-doo senton, and it cost Guerrero. Match started slow, but eventually got to be fun, with a good ending.
Great subtle touch with the ref having the LUCHA Power logo, too. Dojo texture's looking real sharp, too. And I liked that you, generally, kept your camera cuts to a minimum and let shots be pretty static for a good long while. It worked well.
Jack Gold looks like such an indie dirtbag, lol, and I mean that in the best way. He's just such a prototypical indie guy with his bad hair and his beard. I saw you wanted to push him, so I'm glad he won. It was a solid match, with Gold showcasing his technical skills. Winning with a flash pin seems very fitting for his character, too. I think he can make a great upper midcard/midcard cocky shitbag heel, so excited to see what a push looks like for him.
Nightmare Clown and Dominguez was a solid match, but a bit of a momentum killer for the show. Dunno how to have solved that problem, to be fair. Just a bit slow-paced compared to everything else. Was pulling for Nightmare Clown for the sake of an upset, but alas. Andddd also: Dominguez is a dickbag for that post-match attack lol.
Haaahahaha. Yes, yes I was running a stream at 6000. Sometimes it pays to be Canadian and with a smaller ISP in a relatively small building with not many tenants.
Really liked the main event. Great back-and-forth match, and good to see the pace pick up from the last match. Lots of good lucha technical shit. Top rope poison 'rana, spot, in particular, was nasty. LOVED the finishing sequence with the Slingblade follow-ups being missed two times, but the follow-up to the Superstar Elbow (after the taunt, too!) finally connecting. I was really pulling for a Lobo win, but PNJ just got the title, and it makes him look strong. Lobo still looked like a million bucks, too.
Overall, some fun shit. Good to see a shorter show, too. Made it digestible. Opener started slow but picked up, Gold looked good, and the main event was really great. Only "dud" was the Nightmare Clown and Dominguez match, and it wasn't even really a dud so much as just kind of a standard affair that stuck out a bit more for being a bit slow. All in all, though, good shit. :)

Lucha POWER Presents! Was a fun, compact show that stood as the first solo produced event since their departure from La Guerra over six months ago. As always, scroll down for all the matches, recaps, and post match shenanigans. There were no post fight interviews, but there were a few news tidbits. Hexagon Jr./Diego Guerrero/El Macho vs ZDM (La Guerra)Recap: A fast paced, if not slightly sloppy match that saw the “home” team out of sync for much of the match, not clearly able to get on the same page. This seemed to cause confusion and left the door open for the “visiting” ZDM to get the submission victory.
Winner: ZDM
Rating: ***
After the match ZDM continued to beat on the Lucha POWER team, tossing them out of the ring as each ZDM member traced in the air in front of the camera the letters “L” and “G”. Macho seemed furious, though more with his own team than the rudo outsiders. Doctor Dorado vs Jack GoldRecap: Jack Gold’s debut singles match was an impressive one, controlling the action from bell to bell against Doctor Dorado and finishing him off with little resistance from the lucha veteran.
Winner: Jack Gold
Rating: *** Nightmare Clown vs Dungeon DominguezRecap: This match went at a slower pace than a typical lucha fight, with both men working methodical styles that favored strikes and holds over flips and dives. Nightmare’s unorthodox style seemed to keep the big man off his base, and for a time looked like it may give us an upset- but the former champ steadied himself and delivered back to back Darkness Falls to put himself right back into the title picture.
Winner: Dungeon Dominguez
Rating: *** Lucha POWER Championship: Pantero Negro Jr (c) vs Lobo MuerteRecap: A match that lived up to the hype. Both men went straight at each other from the jump, with the pacing so fast by the ten minute mark both rudo’s looked exhausted. The late match seemed to focus on Pantero trying to set up the slingblade, which he eventually hit for the successful title defense.
Winner: Pantero Negro Jr.
Rating: ****
After the match, Pantero picked up his cousin and offered to shake hands. Lobo starred at the hand for a while, before slapping Pantero and exiting the ring as Pantero looked on with the belt. Quick News and Notes: Multiple sources claim Dungeon left the gym in a car that also had Paco Pequeno in it… El Macho released a statement after the match re-asserting that no Santana would be booked on a Lucha POWER show until Felix Jr. was properly punished for his actions at Lucha FANTASTICO...It is rumored that Pantero/Lobo rematch will headline a big Lucha POWER show sometime in early summer... Diego Guerrero seems to be the front runner to represent Lucha POWER at this year’s Golden Gate Tournament. |

Dragon Fire Japan wraps up the final night of the “Shelter in Place” tour with a one night tournament featuring top talent from inside the company as well as top names from some rival promotions. The tournament will be broadcast LIVE TOMORROW AT 5pm PTBut first, a brief history of Dragon Fire Pro Wrestling Federation on the eve of their United States televised premiere: Formed in 2003 and based in Osaka, Japan, Dragon Fire Japan was founded by Shintaro Ito when he broke off from Japan All Around Wrestling (JAAW) after an illustrious 20 year career in the company. The backbone in the early days of Dragon Fire Japan revolved around Ito and Dragon Mask II feuds that, while not as technically impressive as their matches in JAAW, still drew large audiences. The promotion enjoyed a ton of early success but a reliance on aging stars made most shows top heavy, with little interest in a poorly pushed under-card. As the careers of both Ito and Dragon Mask wound down, Ito doubled down on past their prime outsiders, even bringing in Tank McDaniel for a championship run. The company struggled to create new stars from its inception, and with little other talent on the roster, as well as retirements from both Ito and Dragon Mask, the company fell on dark times. By 2010 the company performed in front of a few hundred people as rumors swirled that they would be purchased by ZIP Japan. In 2012, Ito finally pivoted the company towards younger stars- making deals with American companies for the rights to up and comers such as John Logan, Gears of War, and Pantero Negro Jr as well as investing heavily in their own dojo. By 2015, the company dropped all its traditional belts and replaced them with single night tournament shows, showcasing both singles and tag team wrestling. The the influx of young global up and comers combined with a host of promising home grown talent started to pay dividends, Dragon Fire became one of the hottest promotions in the country. Now with the backing of a wealthy board of directors, Shintaro Ito has his promotion poised to be a major player in the Japanese wrestling landscape. To get a full breakdown of Dragon Fire Japan’s top talent check out their bio’s HERE. Tomorrow’s tournament bracket has also been released:Bracket A: Hideki Nomo vs Kenta Aoki Koji Tanaka vs Sonoda Denji (SHTCWA) Winner vs Winner Bracket B: Nishimura Endo (Lightning Pro) vs Masahiro Suzuki Bo “The Animal” Leslie vs Park Hyun-woo Winner vs Winner Bracket A Winner vs Bracket B Winner And last but not least, as a part of announcing the brackets, Dragon Fire also announced that Park Hyun-woo has signed an exclusive deal with the promotion. The acclaimed Korean shootfighter has turned to pro wrestling for his next paycheck, but can't seem to stop himself from legitimately knocking his opponents out with devastating and rather real knee strikes. The big man had been working in iWe but after seeing limited dates, had been looking for a change of scenery when his contract ran out earlier this year. |

Last week’s Dragon Fire Japan show proved an entertaining introduction to American audiences. The tournament provided a string of entertaining matches, one legit MotY candidates, and a few shocking upsets. It was also a fitting end to the Warrior Pro Wrestling sponsored “Shelter in Place” tour, and with its success the possibility that we might see more cross promotional tours in the future. Scroll down for full matches, recaps and post show news and notes… Koji Tanaka vs Sonoda DenjiRecap: The first match of the tournament was a shocker. Tanaka, who many picked as a favorite to win the whole thing was dominated early by Denji and never recovered, eating a series of brutal knees to the head that spelled a quick end to the night.
Winner: Sondada Denji
Rating: ** Bo “The Animal” Leslie vs Park Hyun-wooRecap: This match was everything you’d imagine it would be, two big tanks beating the hell out of each other. Both men traded big blows early and often, until a step up enziguri from the newly signed Park proved the match ender.
Winner: Park Hyun-woo
Rating: **** Nishimura Endo (Lightning Pro) vs Masahiro SuzukiRecap: If Suzuki going out as definitively as he did was the shocker of the night, this was a close second. Nishimura Endo entered the night with a brutal reputation as a dominate offensive weapon, but none of that seemed to matter against the veteran Suzuki. Perhaps the size differential through Endo off, or maybe Suzuki’s low base proved difficult to overcome. Whatever the reason, Suzuki looked comfortable avoiding Endo’s big strikes, and a pair of bone crushing lariats provided the match ender.
Winner: Masahiro Suzuki
Rating: *** Hideki Nomo vs Kenta AokiRecap: In the lead up to this tournament, a common theme was peoples view’s that the future of the company will rest on these two fighting over the top spot, and many predicted this match might end up an instant classic. It didnt quite go to plan, but the finish was jaw dropping. Aoki ate all the offense early and it seemed we might be looking at yet another early round squash. But then, out of nowhere, Aoki nailed the Aoki Crusher that would KO Nomo into the ropes. The referee would be forced to stop the match as doctors attempted to untangle Nomo’s body out of the ropes.
After a few minutes Nomo was awake and able to leave the ring under his own power.
Winner: Kenta Aoki
Rating: *** SEMI FINALS:Masahiro Suzuki vs Park Hyun-wooRecap: Brutally physical, this match saw both men trading elbows for the better part of the contest. In the end, Park was able to use his size advantage to pin Suzuki to the match and end the contest with a brutal series of knees to the head.
Winner: Park Hyun-woo
Rating: **** Kenta Aoki vs Sonoda DenjiRecap: Easily the match of the tournament, and a good candidate for MotY. Denji controlled the match early, in what looked both like his first match and the better part of Aoki’s. But the latter stages proved to be insane. Both men traded brutal combinations of sitting and running knees, with neither man able to fully put the other away. After countless nearfalls, it was Denji that would finally pick up the victory when he hit a top rope flying knee, into a ripcord knee, followed by a sitting “Death Magnetic” knee.
Winner: Sonoda Denji
Rating: ***** FINALS:[bPark Hyun-woo vs Sonoda Denji[/b] Recap: A competitive match early, but you could tell the war Denji went through took its toll as the finals wore on. Park looked fresh throughout, and smartly waited out the match until Denji was obviously fatigued. Once he found his opening, a brutal enziguri finished off the tournament at allowed Park to be the true last man standing.
Winner: Park Hyun-woo
Rating: ****
After the Show notes:Hideki Nomo was diagnosed with a shoulder stinger, and shouldn't miss much if any time… Management was very impressed with Sonoda Denji and there are rumblings that he could be brought back for future shows… Nishimura Endo was overheard rumbling that he wanted a rematch with Suzuki “as soon as it can be booked”… Shintaro Ito was said to be pleased with the event as a whole, and that the company would be looking to run another show in late May/early June. He also seemed open to the idea of re-instituting a Heavyweight champion at some point over the summer but remained non-committal. He also refused to comment on "rumors" that he is related to Lightning Pro owner Shima Ito, referring to him as "That Grey Machine." |

Warrior Pro Wrestling is excited to announce that they will be returning to the ring next week with one of their biggest shows of the year. To cap off a unique, but highly successful “virtual tour”, Warrior Pro will be doing a special LIVE show packed with title fights. And as a special treat, for the first time ever, Warrior Pro Wrestling will be running outside of California. Due to continued Shelter In Place orders around the country, it has been decided that the promotion will run their show in a remote location in Alaska. While a limited number of live fans will be in attendance, heavy screening will be conducted to ensure the safety of everyone in attendance. Warrior Pro Wrestling would like to thank iWe for renting the building out as they work to make their own plans to tour in the near future...
As for the card? QUARANTINE 2020 will be stacked. Headlined by a rematch of the first ever Warrior Pro match sees reigning champ Vic Baron take on the red hot challenger John Logan. The co-main event features another highly anticipated rematch over the Lone Star Championship as Doc Wyatt faces off against Cowboy Johnston.
Additionally “The Belt Collector” Rampage Hunter defends his IC title for the first time against the undefeated Markus Winter, The Outlaws challenge Gears of War for the Tag Titles, and iWe’s own The LORD’s Force face the Reed Brothers. The Show will take place LIVE on MAY 14th at 5pm PST on TWITCH! An official virtual press conference will take place on Monday from Gorilla Hall... The Card:Warrior Pro World Heavyweight ChampionshipJohn Logan vs Vic Baron (c) TIPWF Lone Star ChampionshipCowboy Johnston vs Doc Wyatt (c) Warrior Pro World Tag Team ChampionshipOutlaws (Roy Carter and Byron Worthy) vs Gears of War (c) Warrior Pro Intercontinental ChampionshipMarkus Winter vs Rampage Hunter (c) Reed Brothers vs The LORD’s Force (iWe) |

 WRESTLING NEWS ROUNDUP Warrior Pro Wrestling will be holding a press conference on Monday for next week’s big show, Quarantine, where we are expected to hear from Doc Wyatt, John Logan, and Vic Baron. We are also expected to get an update on the state of the promotion from Tank McDaniel, including what safety measures are being planned on site from Alaska, where Warrior Pro will be running their first live show in over 2 months. If you’re wondering how we got a Cowboy/Doc co-main event for the show, you are not alone. The Outlaws/Cogburn Ranch Feud has been one of the most bitter, personal feuds in all of wrestling, but after weeks of build up to a Red/Cowboy match- Doc suddenly pulled the plug at the last minute last week. Instead, Red faced Lil Lariato in a MotY candidate. Lariato had some interesting words after that match that has a lot of people wondering what the state of the Jackson Hole Outlaws... There remains no love lost between the Santana Family and Lucha POWER, but that friction might be bleeding into the ranks of Lucha POWER. A multi-man match that pitted Lucha POWER champion Pantero Negro Jr vs El Macho himself was met with strong words from the Lucha POWER owner. The match itself also proved interesting as Pantero submitted Macho as Felix Jr. looked on. Once has to assume a match between Felix Jr and El Macho is inevitable, but a bigger question might be looming- does El Macho have control of his own locker room? And lastly, an announcement around this year’s Golden Gate (G2) Tournament is expected at some point soon. All indications are that Warrior Pro still plans to run the tournament, likely starting at the end of May and going through June. While the current plan is to run in Gorilla Hall, likely with a live crowd, nothing has been confirmed. It is rumored that the company already has the full list of participants signed on, and will begin making reveals in the coming weeks as a way to promote. There are also rumors that the company is exploring live broadcasts for part or all of the tournament, depending on the logistics.
Be sure to tune in on Monday for the official QUARANTINE 2020 Press Conference! |

With perhaps the most unique show in Warrior Pro’s history a mere days away, the company held an equally unique virtual press conference that was streamed on WPW.com. There were no reporters on premise, and questions were fielded virtually over the internet and relayed to the fighters. Owner Tank McDaniel was also no present, and will not be at the show later this week as he remains sheltered in place in his home in Marin County. Who was present were participants from the co-main events- minus Cowboy Johnston due to a mutual agreement to limit travel. It is expected that the remaining participants for the show will be posting on WPW.com tomorrow to promote the rest of the card... The press conference began with a graphic showing the card for Thursday’s QUARANTINE, which will be streamed LIVE at 5pm PST from a remote location in Alaska. The Card:Warrior Pro World Heavyweight ChampionshipJohn Logan vs Vic Baron (c) TIPWF Lone Star ChampionshipCowboy Johnston vs Doc Wyatt (c) Warrior Pro World Tag Team ChampionshipOutlaws (Roy Carter and Byron Worthy) vs Gears of War (c) Warrior Pro Intercontinental ChampionshipMarkus Winter vs Rampage Hunter (c) Reed Brothers vs The LORD's Force (iWe)  First to the podium, Doc Wyatt who was accompanied by Red Masterson…Question: Did you see the comments from Lil Lariato?Question: Cowboy got the better of you the last time you met, how do you adjust for the rematch?Question: If you beat Cowboy, does this set up a trilogy match down the line? Doc leaves the podium and is replaced by John Logan, the challenger for the World Heavyweight championship.Question: You’ve been on a roll since coming back from injury, but the stigma of not coming through when it matters most has to still be weighing on you right?Question: Vic and you have a well documented friendship, how does that play into the match?Question: Vic Baron is often thought of as one of the best, if not the best technical wrestlers in the world, how do you prepare for that? John Logan leaves and finally, the World Champion “The Technician” Vic Baron sits downQuestion: There are those that have called you a transitional champion seeing as you’ve yet to face top tier Warrior Pro talent. Is this match legacy making?Question: Is the history you two have, coming up in WfoW and in Japan going to play into how the match goes?Question: Logan mentioned not changing his preparation for you, have you changed your prep for him?Vic Baron gets up and the feed switches back to show the details of Thursday’s show…. |

THE LORD'S FORCE HEADS NORTH LAST SUNDAYThe rusty old Ford Bronco idled in the gravel parking lot in front of an inauspicious church. A clever sign out front read “CHOOSE THE BREAD OF LIFE OR YOU ARE TOAST”. The parking lot was packed with vehicles; a sermon was in session. “J.C., I’m tellin’ ya right now this is an awful idea and I’m not gonna let ya go through with it,” Hoss Haskins said gruffly, punctuating the sentence by pounding a meaty fist against the steering wheel. In the passenger seat, J.C. Lamb looked offended. “Oh, so worshipping our awesome God is ‘an awful idea’ now is it, Hoss? It’s ‘an awful idea’ to give praise to the J-Man who sacrificed His life for our eternal salvation, hey Hoss?” Hoss glared at him and spoke firmly. “Yes, J.C., it is. Under the current circumstances, it is a terrible idea. These social distancing orders have been put in place for a reason, and clearly the people in this here church are not following them. It’s just too risky, J.C.” “Wow Hoss, when did you convert to the religion of atheism?” J.C. said sarcastically. “Sounds to me like you’re trying to socially distance yourself from The Savior. So when are you moving to San Francisco, buddy?” The beet redness of rage flushed across Hoss’ face. “Stop acting like an idiot.” “I can’t go another week without attending church, Hoss! I feel like I have bugs crawling under my skin,” J.C. went on, scratching at his neck for emphasis. “If I don’t get a heaping helping of the Holy Spirit sometime soon, I’m going to lose it.” “Well today ain’t the day,” Hoss said. “We got a wrestling match to get to, and I’m not about to let you screw that up for us. If you’re not fit to fight on Thursday night, we’ll need to forfeit our match against The Reeds. And I’d like to remind you: this is the only paying job we’ve been offered since all this coronavirus business kicked off.” “Remember Mark 8:36, Hoss?” J.C. said. “ ‘For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?’” Hoss rolled his eyes. “But what about Proverbs 10:4, J.C.? That says: ‘ A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.’” J.C. seemed a little annoyed by how easily Hoss had come up with a contradictory Bible verse with which to counter his. Instead of arguing any further, J.C. decided to simply make a break for it. He heaved open the passenger side door and bolted across the lot toward the large double doors of the church. Hoss had a feeling he might do exactly that, and was only a few steps behind him. Hoss caught up with him about halfway up the stone front steps of the church. J.C. tried frantically to evade him as Hoss ran up from behind, but he couldn’t avoid those big burly cowboy arms that clamped a crushingly airtight Sleeper Hold onto his neck. J.C. struggled and fought, tried to elbow Hoss in the gut or deliver a back-kick low-blow to his prairie oysters, but this Sleeper was a technique Hoss used on his partner so frequently that he was prepared for just about any eventuality. Before losing consciousness completely, J.C. made one last lunging, dramatic reach for the church doors before his arms went limp at his sides. Hoss hoisted J.C. up onto his shoulders as though he were a passed-out drunk being ejected from a saloon - nothing but deadweight now - and lumbered back down the steps and across the parking lot to their vehicle. He plopped his lifeless partner into the backseat of the Bronco, climbed back in behind the wheel and peeled out, heading northward in the direction of Alaska. |

It feels like its been forever since Warrior Pro Wrestling competed in front of a live crowd on US soil. That changes tonight, as Warrior Pro presents QUARANTINE, a stacked show coming to you LIVE from The Canyon Lodge in a remote location in the Alaska mountains. Every Warrior Pro championship is on the line, plus a bonus Lone Star Championship match that continues the blood feud between the Jackson Hole Outlaws and Texas Independent Pro Wrestling Federations Cogburn Ranch. The show will kick off LIVE ON TWITCH at 5pm PT.Match Previews:
Warrior Pro World Heavyweight Championship
John Logan vs Vic Baron (c)The press conference from earlier this week made two things clear. Both men respect the other, and both want to prove that they are the face of the company, now and into the future. We’ve been here before with John Logan, looking unstoppable and unbeatable- but is this finally his time to wear the gold? Or will he fall short yet again? For Vic Baron, a win over Logan cements his standing as more than a “transition” champion, and will allow him to be the first person outside of Doc Wyatt with two title defenses to his name. This match will not only define the careers for both men, but will lay the path down for where the World title goes heading into the G2 tournament (and Warriorversary…) Also, it has been noted that this is a rematch of the first ever Warrior Pro match almost two years ago. For those who are curious, we’ve made available that match to watch as a primer for tonight’s main event… TIPWF Lone Star Championship
Cowboy Johnston vs Doc Wyatt (c)Everything that could be said about these two men has been laid out. Doc Wyatt could cement himself as one of the strongest Lone Star Champions in history with a win over Cowboy. A Cowboy win would mean the TIPWF legend still has what it takes to be the top star of a company. For all of Doc’s triumphs over the past couple years, he has struggled to manage Cowboy’s unique combination of size and athelticism. But counting Doc out of any match would be a mistake, and you have to wonder when or if his Outlaw buddies will make an appearance at any point during the contest... Warrior Pro World Tag Team Championship
Outlaws (Roy Carter and Byron Worthy) vs Gears of War (c)The Outlaws earned this shot via impressive fashion after beating the Reeds in a qualifier. This is actually a rematch of sorts, as it was Gears of War who beat a difference version of the Outlaws (with Brick instead of Worthy) to capture their first Warrior Pro Tag titles. This version might be more dangerous, with the young “Primetime” improving daily and hungry for his first shot at gold. But even so, its going to be a tall task de-throning the reigning champs- who have looked unbeatable as of late and looked poised for a long run as champs. This could shape up to be one of the best tag matches the company has put on in some time. Warrior Pro Intercontinental Championship
Markus Winter vs Rampage Hunter (c)Rampage has been a busy man. With three belts around his waist, he has been focused on defending the ones outside his home promotion. But tonight we’ll see him back in a Warrior Pro ring for the the first time since winning the Intercontinental Title- and he’s facing potentially one of his toughest opponents. Markus Winter has been on an undefeated tear for months, tallying impressive wins over Roy Carter and Jimmy Hawkins to earn his first singles title match. He would appear to be facing insurmountable odds against “The Belt Collector” but the man who claims to talk to Norse Gods doesn’t seem phased. Do we have an upset brewing? Or does Rampage put another would be challenger down with a Lights Out powerbomb? This one could be a show stealer... Reed Brothers vs The LORD’s Force (iWe)The show opener was part of the deal when Tank rented out The Canyon Lodge from iWe owner David Harley. This will be a showcase of two of iWe’s top talent, veteran Hoss Haskins and rising star JC Lamb. They’ll face a young athletic Warrior Pro tag team that is looking for a big win to springboard their own championship aspirations. This is sure to be an entertaining kickoff to a fully loaded card. |
