Hello and welcome to Bratas Grappas episode Blank because I
0:20
will fill this in at a later date.
0:23
The only show in town that can't catch wrestle but can catch a
0:29
wrestling goal. Joining me to relive Monday
0:34
night at Gorilla is a friend of the show and by now a semi
0:40
permanent Co host. Good evening, Miles.
0:45
Good evening. Once again, we're.
0:48
Seeing a lot of each other, it feels, and this weekend feels
0:52
like it's going to be the same. Well, at least on Saturday.
0:56
On Saturday. So as you can tell, this episode
1:02
is mainly going to be featuring what happened on Monday night at
1:08
Catch Pro Wrestling Attic's new venue at Gorilla.
1:16
For those that don't know, it's literally facing the O2 Ritz
1:22
just off Oxford Road in downtown Manchester.
1:28
Before we get into the show, First off, how are we doing
1:36
firstly tonight? Doing good, not too bad.
1:41
Good to hear we could be in for a long night with what happened
1:46
on this card and other things, so we will quickly try to get
1:53
through it. But before that we will also ask
1:59
you one question. What did you think of the venue
2:03
itself? I'm not sure like the light in
2:09
well, I found a light in, but like the actual venue space
2:12
itself, great space. It's a little bit.
2:17
It's like a bigger bread shed I feel like.
2:20
Yeah, I've I heard Oggy on craps and claps say it's an upgrade on
2:28
the bread shed. But I think to be fair, anything
2:34
compared to the bread shed in terms of size wise is always was
2:40
always going to be an upgrade anyhow.
2:43
Just I mean, you could say the Deaf Institute, as big as that
2:49
is, it was still smaller than the breadshed really, if you
2:53
look at it that way. But I, I mean, I've been to
2:57
Gorilla before, never though like a concert or like a gig.
3:05
I did a meet and greet with William Regal there a few years
3:09
ago and I kind of I liked the venue itself.
3:16
So to actually see a wrestling show in there, it what it does,
3:22
I feel that venue, it leads itself to have more people kind
3:27
of come in. It gives it it now gives Catch
3:31
more of a place to kind of get more fans in growth product
3:37
because I think by the end of the breadshed run, it was almost
3:43
getting a bit cramped just due to kind of how small and there's
3:51
done a whole lot you could have done.
3:54
But yeah, thumbs up for having it at Gorilla.
3:59
Also, it's a bit easier to travel home as well.
4:03
You're not having to well, in my case, you're not having to run
4:07
near enough to the Apollo and get the bus.
4:11
I can just easily walk Whitworth St and across Piccadilly and
4:19
jump on the bus there. But I digress.
4:23
Let's, let's just get into the matches because this I'm, I'm
4:29
still smiling over this show because it's easily one of my
4:33
favourite shows I've ever been to.
4:37
Every match kind of did its job and more so.
4:44
So we'll move to the opener, which was A tag team match with
4:53
Tony Wright and Danny Proper taking on Northwest Strong's
4:59
Keenan Krishna and Chris Ridgeway.
5:05
What was what was your take on this Miles?
5:07
This was a very very fun tag team match.
5:11
Great storyline going into this match.
5:14
Got carried on from last show when the Tony and Danny got
5:19
taken out by Keenan and Chris. This was a like how would you
5:25
put it? A good bastard versus goody tag
5:30
team match. Like the heels in this match
5:35
were on fine form, pretty much isolating Tony for like I'd say
5:41
good 85% of the match. I enjoyed Chris's leg work in
5:47
this match. He's seen a lot of like kicks to
5:50
the leg because Oggy mentioned it on his podcast, he's noticed
5:55
the leg work. I enjoyed Chris's dragon screws.
5:59
They were perfect. They were on point.
6:02
I think it's one of those things with Ridgeway, you almost feel a
6:06
bit shortchanged if he doesn't pull the dragon screw out from
6:10
somewhere in this match. But we also saw Ridgeway getting
6:16
a bit high, flying, doing a a leap over the top rope, and I
6:24
think it was hitting Tony. It might have been done.
6:27
I can't remember fully, but this, this was a really, really
6:34
good opener. I know a couple said it was a
6:41
bit of a long opener. However, because of what had
6:47
been going on, I think it was, I think this was needed to have
6:54
this going quite a bit because you had writing Krishna, which
6:59
is kind of bubbled, even going back to the hostile tournament
7:03
where this all kind of kicked off from proper and Ridgeway got
7:10
into it on the last show. And so now having kind of all
7:15
four elements put together, it really made for a really fun
7:20
bout. And then at the end of this or
7:25
towards the back end of the contest, the closing stages, we
7:29
saw the third member of Northwest Strong coming out,
7:34
that being Teddy Ray. And I think with Krishna's
7:40
obviously the the rule breaker, Ridgeway feels very much like
7:48
he's not fully that way, but he's kind of like an inbetweener
7:53
if you like. And Teddy Ray has always felt
7:59
like the fan favourite. The best way I can describe
8:04
Northwest Strong at the at that point in time was that meme of
8:10
the Dragons with the three heads where you've got two of them
8:15
kind of looking all business and everything, and one that's just
8:20
pulling goofy faces. And I could put that one down as
8:24
Teddy Ray to be to be fair, because he he didn't seem on the
8:30
same page as them. But of course, when we get to
8:33
the the end of this match, we find out that Northwest Strong
8:38
are very much all on the same page again.
8:46
Really fun opener. Teddy Ray comes out interferes,
8:52
knocking Danny proper off the apron.
8:56
Tony Wright looks at Teddy Rain, almost despair at why he's come
9:02
out on what he's done. This all concludes with Dean and
9:09
Krishna and Chris Ridgway going to hit a total elimination style
9:15
move as I've got it, much like Kronos and Perry Satin used to
9:21
hit in ECW as the eliminators. The first attempt did not fully
9:30
go to plan, however they read they did it a second time
9:35
because the first time had kind of like half the effect, but
9:40
hitting it fully had maximum effect which sees Tony Wright
9:46
staying down for the 123. NW Strong are your winners
9:54
again. Really fun match, really solid
9:58
opener, and it really did set the tone for what we're going to
10:03
get for the rest of this show. Spoiler.
10:07
It was an absolute banger of NHL match #2 and I'll, I'm going to
10:18
say this near enough for every match.
10:20
I love this match a lot and it saw Henry Faust taking on deck.
10:29
McCarthy, what was what was your view on this one?
10:36
Jesus Christ, this match when like from the first minute, the
10:44
chop Henry Faust to deck and it just split his chest open like
10:48
the very first chop, I was just like, this is where we're going
10:52
for the whole show. Like Henry Faust is a guy that
10:57
personally I've not seen too much of.
10:59
I think I've seen one, maybe two of his matches live.
11:04
But yeah, this dude's awesome. Like, I look, Henry Faust, he's
11:08
got a great Moosa and the fact that he was going up against the
11:12
bigger guy in big deck and he was like fully into the match.
11:17
Like at points I thought that one was going to lose.
11:21
Like he had that one on the ropes.
11:23
Like he was just all over him. Like just yeah.
11:30
It made me love the start of it. Everyone just cheered for Henry
11:35
and then Vouchers doing like a little jig to himself and then
11:41
about 5 seconds later just performs an absolute stiff open
11:48
hand chop to Debt McCarthy's chest and from then on you knew
11:54
oh shit is going down. To which Henry Phelps is a big
12:02
fan of Japanese wrestling and strong style.
12:07
Debt McCarthy is great at technical wrestling, but it's
12:13
equally good at brawling. So this when you look at it, it
12:20
goes hand in hand. It's with deck style and Henry
12:25
style. It's it's almost strong style as
12:28
it is anyhow. But Faust with his kind of
12:32
educated feat, McCarthy, who would use more the technical
12:39
side of things. And I mean Faust chops to deck
12:46
and then his penalty kick on the outside to McAfee, who it looked
12:54
like it caught him flush in the jaw on one of the pictures I
12:57
took. And you could hear the normally
13:02
when you hear a kick on the outside, it doesn't sound kind
13:07
of like that that loud, but you could you could hear this quite
13:12
loud. And then debt replied with huge
13:17
uppercuts showing kind of all these technical moves.
13:22
Faust almost relied on his feet to do all the talking as as a
13:29
pics were Henry's friend McAfee always seems to have an ace up
13:34
his sleeve. Faust then hits almost like a
13:39
Michinoku driver on deck which locked an awkward landing.
13:47
A deck gets a 2 count from it, just Henry, and in the end it
13:54
sees McCarthy picking up the victory.
13:59
I did write what the finish is called and I can never remember.
14:05
I think I remember, but I don't know if it's 100% Morgan's call
14:12
or is it Morrigan's call? It's along them lines.
14:17
Declan, if you're listening, I apologise.
14:19
He's don't beat me up. It's one one of them ones.
14:25
I've I've literally spent all all the last three hours
14:32
scrolling back all videos to try and find move names and no
14:37
commentator mentions. I actually wrote a piece last
14:41
year where I absolutely wrote it and I can't get into the the
14:46
login, so I can't find it. But what you've said is it is
14:53
one of them. So again, apologies.
14:57
We we, we apologise, please don't kill us, but deck wins.
15:08
Really really enjoyable contest. I'm interested to see now where
15:16
we kind of go with both these men.
15:20
Really hoping Faust comes back because I've seen Faust a few
15:25
Times Now, mostly when I've been to watch N wrestling.
15:31
The first time I saw Faust I didn't kind of get him too much,
15:38
wasn't sure what he was about. The more I've seen him the more
15:42
I've grown to just like love his style and love watching him in
15:46
the ring. So hopefully, if capture or
15:51
watching this or listening, please get Henry on more and
15:57
I'll leave it at that match #3 Troy Ryan, Brady Phillips.
16:07
Miles Beef, beef and more beef. The battle of the shredded,
16:17
shall we say. Which man has the bigger ABS?
16:23
That's the question for you. Who has the bigger ABS, Troy
16:27
Ryan or Brady Phillips? See, this is difficult to to
16:37
answer because I think Ryan's got more leaner and I think
16:45
Phillips has filled out a bit more with kind of like bulking
16:50
muscle. So I'd say equally because I
16:56
think they're both going for different.
16:58
I think Ryan's trying to slim down almost in a kind of like a
17:04
cruiserweight and Phillips is just a heavyweight.
17:10
But he's both are in great shape.
17:13
You can't take that away from from either.
17:18
But I love the the first notes I've got.
17:24
It's just basically meaty chops meaty.
17:32
Sounds like the match. I mean, we started off with both
17:38
of them just trying to just chop as much meat as they could.
17:45
I will say this though, the first few chops in this match
17:49
Brady had the advantage. Well and truly it was like when
17:55
Ryan chopped, they didn't make much of A sound when braided on
18:02
the first few. Dear God, they reverberated
18:06
around Gorilla. And then later on, Ryan then
18:14
began to do his own chops, and they were equally as loud,
18:19
perhaps even better because they were right on the far end on the
18:23
actual stage at Gorilla. The match itself, as notes,
18:35
Brady dominates for a large part of it, hitting some really
18:41
vicious lariats, forearms across the face of Ryan, German
18:47
suplexes, amazing strength. At one point when he was going
18:53
to do a powerbomb, lost his grip momentarily.
18:59
And to have the size of Troy Ryan and then still have the
19:07
composure to regain control and then actually hit the powerbomb.
19:13
I mean, hitting a powerbomb on Ryan is impressive.
19:18
But to almost drop him because obviously kind of like sweat and
19:22
everything to regain control and then hit him that that was
19:29
arguably one of the best moves of of the night from that
19:34
standpoint. The fight then moves to the
19:38
outside. Ryan sees a wall whose eyes
19:43
light up massively, especially with a crowd chanting wall.
19:49
Almost kind of like having Vietnam flashbacks of Atomic
19:56
doing it. So Ryan kind of froze Brady into
20:01
the wall twice. At one point I thought he was
20:04
going to go through the wall due to how it just moved, but as the
20:11
get back into the ring. Troy hits a standing
20:16
Frankensteiner, which sounds impressive enough, but we've
20:24
Brady being on the top rope and Troy kind of running, then kind
20:31
of doing a stopping and then hitting the Frankensteiner makes
20:35
it all the more impressive. Then does these kind of big body
20:41
check spot that I've put wall in the wrong place.
20:47
The finish of the match, Ryan and Phillips get back into the
20:52
ring. Greenwood gets knocked off the
20:56
apron. This allows Phillips to look
20:59
round. See Greenwood's not looking.
21:02
Hicks Troy in the balls hits his.
21:06
I've put pump handle spike again.
21:11
I was trying to find what the move is called but I cannot find
21:14
it anywhere, so apologies. Brady Phillips gets the win with
21:21
the 123. Really really fun match and I
21:30
believe Miles has a point. This finish, it actually got me.
21:35
I didn't think it was like the plan to finish because it just
21:39
looked like an actual accident. Like Greenwood when he was
21:44
trying to get into the ring and then Brady's going for like the
21:47
lariat, then he's like knocked him off the apron, like via the
21:51
ropes. It looked like an actual
21:53
accident. I was like, was that the
21:55
intended finish? And after seeing Brady kick Troy
21:59
in the balls, yeah, good finish. It actually got me good.
22:06
I'll say this for catch. There are a couple of incidents
22:09
on this show where you genuinely kind of thought to yourself is,
22:16
is this planned? Is this actually happening or
22:20
what's what's going on? That was one of them.
22:28
I'll, I'll ask your take on this because I've what's your take on
22:32
Brady Phillips as or character wise?
22:38
I enjoy Brady Phillips's character, he's just this cold
22:43
evil, just gives no shit, just will.
22:48
If he doesn't like you, if he's got an issue with you, he will
22:52
beat the piss out of you. But that is just Brady to a tee.
22:56
I I've seen Brady quite a few times from like my very first
23:02
indie show. Any time I see Brady Phillips,
23:07
he's just such a fantastic heel. I could not see Brady working
23:13
face. I do not envisage Brady Phillips
23:17
as a face. Like it just doesn't work.
23:22
He's probably a good face. Like I've not seen a great
23:25
Facebook. He's just this cold bastard as a
23:31
heel and I love it. It's I've always seen Philips a
23:37
very select few times, kind of first saw him in Sov Pro, then
23:43
saw him at kind of GPW and now at Catch which watching films.
23:53
If I was now given like name your top five heels on shows
24:01
you've you've been to, I would easily put Brady Phillips in the
24:06
top three easily because he's that good.
24:14
I will bring up this. It's a slightly funny story,
24:19
John, that we know that always wears a Bolton shirt and attends
24:25
kind of cat shows. We'll do the future shock show.
24:29
We have this ongoing laugh that every time Brady Phillips comes
24:35
out that John will always be the first person to kind of like
24:41
meet Brady and have Phillips just talking trash to him, bad
24:46
mouthing him. On this occasion when Phillips
24:50
came out, John kind of walked towards the front expecting the
24:55
abuse. Brady, however, decided to have
25:00
a go at someone else. And then John came up to me
25:05
afterwards. He went you venue means it's got
25:09
to be someone else he has to have a go at now.
25:11
He went. Oh well, I enjoyed the job while
25:14
I had it, which did make me laugh.
25:20
But yeah, this, this was a really fun match.
25:25
Loved watching Philips Ryan as a single star A few.
25:31
I think more people are now getting to see the Ryan I've
25:37
seen on quite a fair few shows now because I think a lot still
25:41
seem as A tag wrestler because they haven't saw much of his
25:45
single stuff. If you've seen him in Salford
25:50
and kind of what LWF stuff he's done, he has been really fun to
26:00
watch, especially being the the rule breaker on those shows.
26:09
So seeing him now becoming more of a single * it's interesting
26:17
where what he can do moving forward now because there's
26:27
there's a lot of potential and what he can do as a singles
26:32
participant. So there's there's a lot of
26:36
different avenues he can go down, which I'm excited to see
26:41
what happens in the coming months and years.
26:47
We finish the first half with the G Mac Championship with Sam
26:55
Bailey challenging Big T Justice.
27:01
What were your thoughts on this encounter?
27:06
Again another solid match, great title defence for Big T Sam
27:10
Bailey coming in on his debut in Catch Pro giving Big TA.
27:15
Solid match with some suspect tactics shall we say, getting
27:23
the his trainees involved which got a little little chant of
27:30
future shit. Didn't fully get over what a few
27:35
of us were chanting future shit but.
27:38
Bless you for trying though. I get this.
27:45
Well I'll I'll say the only slight nitpickity I'll say on
27:50
this I'm not. I have heard a couple say the
27:53
same thing but at the same time does not take away from this
27:57
match whatsoever. So we start off with some
28:04
slapping big T in the back of the head.
28:08
T then grabs hold of Bailey, throws him into the corner,
28:13
shops him. However, Bailey was wearing a
28:19
chest protector which felt very D low brown from back in the
28:24
attitude era. There were a few people were
28:29
shouting T MU shield. So I think that kind of gauges
28:35
where people's up to date knowledges.
28:41
As soon as I saw him, I thought deal O brown, but that just
28:44
proves I'm old. We then saw T RIP off that chest
28:49
protector. Ideally I felt he should have
28:54
kept this on a bit longer, at least because of it.
28:59
The longer it stayed on, when it finally came off and he would do
29:05
like the chop, I think that would have been got a better or
29:12
bigger cheer than it did when he actually ripped it off.
29:16
Again just just my take on that. T then chops ref shoe Davis.
29:27
This leads to Bailey going on the outside where he has members
29:34
of the Future Shock PC. Notable names were Doctor
29:39
Proctor and Bong were a couple of others.
29:44
They then put a beat down on Big T.
29:49
That was until he then fought back, taking them all down.
29:55
T gets back into the ring with the referee still face down.
30:01
Bailey then from somewhere has a police baton, but I suppose that
30:07
ties in with him having a flap jacket on.
30:13
Uses it on the knee of Big T then pretty much does what any
30:20
good wrestler would do. Focuses in on the injured body
30:23
part. He then hits a chop on Bailey,
30:30
throws Bailey with multiple Irish whips and avalanche
30:35
splashes in the corner. Bailey then hits a hidden blade
30:41
on Big T with the champion in Big T Justice landing a huge
30:49
spinning boss man slam as I've put to retain the title.
30:57
One massive thing I will say about this show, and I love
31:03
Catch Pro for doing it because you don't get it on every show.
31:09
When people worked on a body part, the ones that were having
31:16
holes applied to it actually made out that they were
31:23
struggling with it and it wasn't a case of working on safer
31:30
instance, Big T having his leg worked on.
31:33
It wasn't a case of he spends 90% of the match getting his leg
31:39
worked on and then he's doing springboard punches and all kind
31:47
of like running moves when you've literally just had your
31:51
leg smashed to bits and everything.
31:55
It is one of my biggest bug bears watching shows where body
32:05
parts get worked on and then the wrestlers that have that limb
32:10
particularly worked on completely forgot that's what
32:13
they've had done to it and it's almost like they've fully
32:16
healed. It's like The Wolverine.
32:21
So big thumbs up because it actually makes it feel more
32:27
realistic and actually keeps to if you work on something, they
32:35
should be in trouble. If they if you work on the leg,
32:38
they shouldn't be able to walk because you've been focusing on
32:42
it too long. So that's just one of my little
32:48
rants. I thought I'd say on that
32:51
because I got into a not an argument, but I got into a
32:56
massive debate with someone over this and we both came to the the
33:02
same appreciation of when wrestlers actually choose to
33:07
kind of. I don't want to use the the
33:11
term, but I suppose I have to honest, they actually have to
33:14
sell like the injury that they've got and they actually
33:19
remember that. Oh yeah, I have an injured body
33:22
part that I will have to kind of sell and make up.
33:24
I am injured with it. Yeah.
33:30
I don't know if you agree with that, but I'm just going off on
33:34
a rant there. Yeah, no, I agree with it.
33:38
You get in like your arm injured and your leg injured and then
33:41
next minute you pulling like a 450 moonsault like out your ass
33:45
like. Yeah.
33:47
Yeah, OK. It's, I know what Joe said it
33:53
last week of you have to disbelief certain things.
33:58
I don't mind having my imagination and disbelieving
34:04
things, but I want them to make sense.
34:09
That's all I want anyway. We then went for the interval
34:18
and immediately coming back from the interval, we had a brawl at
34:24
ringside. I, I was chatting to Oggy at one
34:32
at this particular point because Mark Adams just got back into
34:36
the ring, welcomed everyone back to the second-half and and at
34:42
the corner of my eye I saw two people fighting due to the
34:48
lights as well that were kind of blinding us for a good chunk.
34:54
I didn't know it was Eitan Scene and Ian Skinner.
34:58
I thought it was actually 2 fans fighting to begin with.
35:04
Obviously it was Eitan scene and Ian Skinner where Skinner I
35:11
believe has a as he has a restraining order against Steen
35:19
I believe because originally the plan yes it was supposed to be
35:26
Steen and Skinner for this. Oh I should also mention, so I
35:31
haven't done this was the 6th anniversary show for Catch.
35:38
I forgot to start with that. So many congratulations on your
35:47
anniversary. But yes, Steen and Skinner
35:52
should have been one of the matches on this card that then
35:59
changed and the matches were going to be Eitanstein versus
36:06
Lucic and Ian Skinner against Kevin Lloyd.
36:14
However, due to Steen and Skinner fighting and having a
36:21
brawl at ringside and in the ring, it's our Skinner choking
36:28
Steen with his own kind of like dog chain that was around
36:31
Steen's neck. Mark Adams and the referees all
36:35
try and break it up and stop it. Eventually it might separate the
36:42
2. James Greenwood then grabs the
36:45
microphone and informs an angry and blooded nose Steen that he
36:54
is suspended for the rest of the night.
36:59
Ian finds this hilarious and while he's laughing Greenwood
37:05
says. I don't know what you're
37:06
laughing at, Skinner, because you're suspended as well
37:10
tonight, which then leads to Steen challenging Ian Skinner to
37:17
a dog collar match next month. Colin Skinner here, Colin
37:24
Skinner a bitch and Steen saying he's the original bitch.
37:29
So it's going to say I don't particularly want to do a dog
37:34
collar match. Greenwood then informs us that
37:38
the Catch Pro Athletic Commissioner in Tombola informs
37:44
Greenwood in his earpiece that the match has been booked and
37:49
the next Catch Pro Wrestling show will feature Ian Skinner
37:56
Ettenstein in a dark collar match.
38:03
What's your take on that? I'm looking forward to this
38:08
match because I'm not seeing Skinner in a proper like
38:13
hardcore match. I know he's been doing death
38:16
matches recently and he's like started going down more of the
38:20
hardcore route. I know Ayton's will have Ayton
38:25
loves anything hardcore and anything like any like sicko
38:30
matches Ayton loves. So yeah, this is this is going
38:36
to be 1 to look out for, to see how they work in a dog collar
38:41
match and like what stuff they're actually going to be
38:46
able to do with the venue, what weapons, if they're going to
38:49
bring any weapons to the match or is it just going to be a
38:52
straightforward just dog collar match with no weapons?
38:56
Like I'm looking forward to what they get up to.
39:01
This as early as it is in the year, this has potential to be
39:08
the best underrated match of the year that we might see because
39:15
even though we know they can both go and we know what they
39:19
can do when it's kind of like a stipulation match and especially
39:26
a dog collar match, it's going to be interesting to see what
39:31
they can do and what they can kind of bring out.
39:40
But as soon as they kind of announce the dog column match, I
39:45
think everyone that was there was instantly just rubbing their
39:49
hands fingering. Oh, we're on.
39:52
We're on to a good thing here now.
39:56
One of the the best lines I heard from someone that was
40:02
stood close close by when you had Stan in Skinner fighting.
40:10
There was there was a female fan behind that was saying is, is
40:16
this is this part of the show or are they actually shoot
40:19
fighting? I'll be honest watching it.
40:28
I think I went from thinking, oh, this is storyline, but some
40:33
of the the actual blows looked very, very stiff and did even
40:40
have me questioning thinking, oh, are they actually shooting
40:48
properly here for a brief time as they were not holding
40:53
anything back on those punches and kicks.
40:55
I'll, I'll tell you now. So all those kind of like blows
41:03
they were doing to each other and then announcing a dog collar
41:06
match, I think definitely had a lot more interest going into
41:12
that contest. But we, we look forward to it
41:19
happening. Match #5 Kevin Lloyd, or shall
41:26
we say sexy Kevin Lloyd taking on VUSIC.
41:31
This was a technical master class.
41:38
I'll let you speak on this. Yeah, like you said, Technical
41:43
master class. Can't believe the announced Kev
41:47
Lloyd from Wigan though. Warrington Hatch Management
41:54
Anyway, my hometown guy, Kev Lloyd, yeah, Kev Lloyd is one of
42:01
these guys where his wrestling style, it literally just fits
42:07
him perfectly and like you can tell he is a veteran of the game
42:12
like. Every.
42:14
Move every lock, every lock up, every hold, every submission Kev
42:20
Lloyd does. It just looks like it's hurting.
42:24
Yeah. His opponent I this guy is a
42:31
like the perfect technical wrestler.
42:35
If you want to get into technical wrestling and like
42:39
that's your style, just go look up Kevin Lloyd matches because
42:43
he's the perfect example of a technical wrestler.
42:48
Also you couldn't have put him in a in a better match with
42:52
Lucic who equally any hold he puts on looks like it hurts as
42:59
hell as well. And I've put down effects of
43:03
I've almost gone Dean Malenko. Kind of WCW under rant here.
43:10
Counter for counter, hold for hold, move for move.
43:16
Neither man gave ground. It was a technical battle.
43:23
I will say one thing though on you bringing up the Warrington
43:28
Wigan thing, because he is associated with a snake Pit,
43:35
which is mainly Wigan. I think that is why they've gone
43:40
that route. So he probably still keeps his
43:46
Warrington hometown. However, I think when it comes
43:52
to wanting to be even more showing off his wrestling
43:58
skills, mentioning the snake pit I think just has a bit more edge
44:04
on Warrington personally. But the match itself, Lloyd hits
44:11
a beautiful sit down powerbomb. Vusic hits some of the the most
44:19
aggressive moves I've seen him put on anyone during this
44:27
contest. Does a lot of stumps to the head
44:32
of Kev while he's kind of face down.
44:36
Ends up with him putting on a it's like a Boston crab but kind
44:43
of crosses the legs again. One of those moves I'm trying to
44:49
find the names out of and I'm in the process of trying to do it.
44:55
I should really just ask. But one thing, and again with
45:01
this match of counter wrestling, when one of them put a hold on
45:09
that agonising and painful to watch, they always seem to be
45:15
able to counter that particular move for an equally more
45:21
devastating technical hold themselves.
45:27
Because I think there's one where Lloyd has Vusic and hold,
45:32
and then Vusic reverses it into a dragon sleeper.
45:38
And then Lloyd kind of flips over and I think then puts Vusic
45:44
in a dragon sleeper. It was just, I mean, if you love
45:49
technical wrestling, this was easily one of the best matches
45:54
to watch on a technical standpoint.
45:59
I am probably more of a fan of technical wrestling than high
46:04
flying these days, so this was kind of right up my alley.
46:11
As I say, Vusic wins. Really good match for both men
46:19
again. Interesting to see where we go
46:22
with both these now. Again, I would not be against a
46:29
a rematch with these two either. I think you could arguably do
46:34
more some more technical wrestling, maybe like a like an
46:42
Iron Man match or something like that with these two.
46:45
Or even just a simple submission maps, yeah.
46:49
Because I think with these two, I think it felt like it was just
46:54
the tip of the iceberg with M2 in what they could do.
46:58
But we'll we'll see what happens down the down the road.
47:04
In your penultimate match of the night was for the Catch Pro
47:09
title as the two Scots in Scotty Rock.
47:15
The champion defended his title against the number one
47:21
contender, Scott Olbermann. I will let you dissect this
47:30
match before I give you my thoughts.
47:33
There's quite a lot to dissect in this match.
47:35
It was a tough match to watch. It was like he couldn't actually
47:43
know who was going to win half the match.
47:45
And when you're watching, it was like it was a brilliant match.
47:49
Like both these guys work well together.
47:53
I don't know how many times they've wrestled each other in
47:56
the past or if they've actually wrestled each other before, but
47:59
if that's like the first time, like they've actually went
48:03
one-on-one together, It was a very, very good match.
48:07
Like Scotty Rock going pretty much like 110 mph, doing a lot
48:15
of like, high risk moves. I think he dove out into the
48:18
crowd like 2-3 times maybe. Definitely.
48:23
Yeah. Twice.
48:25
He had Olbermann in the front row in the chairs and just like,
48:30
beating the crap out of him on the chairs.
48:33
Yeah. I think looking back on it now,
48:36
I think Scotty Rock going that fast and like the way he was
48:44
working a match, maybe I should have like realised he's doing
48:51
this much is going to cost him the match because Scott was the
48:56
working. Like I felt like Scott was
48:59
working a lot slower compared to the way he usually works.
49:04
Like he was very slow in all of his moves like that he was
49:10
doing. Like he wasn't hitting him with
49:13
as much pace and as much speed as Scotty Rock.
49:19
I actually fit the opposite. I think Scotty was actually
49:24
working. Oh sorry, I'll rephrase that.
49:27
I'll say Scott because Scott the Scotty Rock and Scott Open.
49:32
I think Scott was actually working quicker than normal
49:38
because it was almost like he was keeping up with rock,
49:42
whereas Oman is always very slow, methodical and will kind
49:47
of like try to tie down piece by piece slowly.
49:53
You can't really do that with Rock.
49:57
Rock is a fast cat, but at the same time a couple of moves that
50:06
Rock did the dive through the ropes to hit Olbermann.
50:14
The more impressive 1 was the springboard off the top rope
50:19
that just about hit Scott. I think that even surprised
50:25
surprised himself and how far he actually went because Olbermann
50:29
looked quite a fair distance back and he still nearly missed
50:33
him. Part of when Rock had Olbermann
50:40
set up in the chairs and told the crowd to hold him and Scott
50:46
just telling the crowd I'll kill you all.
50:50
Well, he's always being held back and chopped was was quite a
50:57
funny moment. Olbermann in this was, I think,
51:05
always looking for that one opportunistic kind of moment in
51:10
the match to I think when he spotted that moment, he'd leap
51:16
on it. Does he?
51:20
He kind of did when he hit the spirit of the Blues and got A2
51:24
count. But again, we make this point of
51:28
when he hits the spirit of the Blues, he has to kind of fully
51:33
do A twist and hit it for it to really have any devastating
51:39
effect. Otherwise it doesn't seem to do
51:42
much. But then hitting again, as you
51:49
said, Scotty Rock going kind of like a mile a minute, nearly
51:55
hitting the referee, which then led to Oberman hitting Ride the
52:01
Lightning, which ended up winning the title, if I recall.
52:09
I think that that kind of proved that being opportunistic and
52:16
hitting at the right point proved to be the the key thing
52:22
in this match really for Oberman.
52:26
The match itself, it was a it was a great title match.
52:31
You really did not know where this kind of contest was going.
52:35
At one point, if our Oberman was going to win it, then it kind of
52:40
swung back to rock and then it was very much on like a knife
52:46
edge for the majority of the contest.
52:50
That was until kind of like Oberman hit that ride the
52:53
Lightning as a title match. I thought it it it did
53:00
everything it had to No, nothing negative on it.
53:06
It was a really fun contest. And now we have a new Catch
53:13
champion and it's going to be interesting to see where
53:19
Olbermann takes this title now, because if he can do what he did
53:25
at Atomic for this title and make it as important as any
53:32
other title in the Northwest, I think CATCH have definitely
53:39
struck upon gold. Which brings us to your main
53:50
event of the evening and was for the Catch Women's Championship.
53:59
Lily Winter faced Lucy Sky where the stipulation if Lily did not
54:08
defeat Lucy then she would go back to becoming a ring
54:15
announcer at Catch. What were your thoughts on this
54:22
contest or how did you see things?
54:26
I seen the way the match was unfolded.
54:30
I've seen I thought Lucy sky was going to retain There's a way
54:34
like had Lucy belt in the match like how she kept getting ever
54:41
so close to putting the freak out onto Lily.
54:44
I thought like the amount of like near falls Lucy had on
54:49
Lily. I I'm surprised she didn't get
54:52
the pitfall. I the two the 2 sea sky chant
54:57
that that champ was just over all much longer than it was.
55:03
Just like it was getting to Lucy.
55:08
She was getting so annoyed. It's I think the first time I
55:13
heard that was oh God. I think it was the double header
55:20
at Future Shock last year I think.
55:24
Trying to remember what show it was back at the the Union
55:30
because it was the same people that were doing the chant on
55:34
Monday night that were performing it at Future Shop.
55:39
And on that occasion it was like a slow burner and it did the
55:44
same again. So she did have Oggy at one
55:49
point come up. I did hear him come up to you
55:52
anyway, you went miles. You, you know you're shit.
55:59
What's all this 2 sea sky about? I did enjoy your your
56:06
explanation on it, but it's just one of those fun things that
56:13
fans can do that when they come out with a champ and it's not
56:20
overkill and it doesn't ruin much.
56:23
If anything kind of helps the match as well, which can't be
56:31
all the same. Can't be said for something that
56:33
happened at Tidal, which I will come to on a different podcast.
56:42
But the match started originally.
56:45
I I wanted to say it was a call back to an earlier an earlier 1
56:53
when Lily Winter should have had the title originally and chose
57:00
that she wanted to actually fight for the title as opposed
57:04
to kind of wanting it to be handed to her.
57:10
And if I remember right, I think Lucy hit her then with the title
57:14
belt or hit her with something before the match and picked up
57:19
the victory. So if if I'm remembering that,
57:26
that's a good call back to this. But Lucy, Sky nails Lily with
57:33
the title belt. Greenwood comes up to Lucy And
57:37
just say what you're doing, what you're doing.
57:40
Sky in that Wigan accent, just shouting ring the bell, get ring
57:47
the bell now. Ring the bell now.
57:50
Greenwood does not want to do it.
57:52
Says to Lily, are you OK to continue?
57:55
Winter says yes, I'm fine. Gets hit with a crushing spear
58:03
off Lucy's Sky. Lucy thinks she's won it there,
58:07
and then Lily kicks out. Sky is in total control really
58:14
for the majority of this contest.
58:17
I'd probably say about 80% of it.
58:21
Lily continues to kind of survive and fight in this.
58:28
Lily then thinks she's won the title when she hits a partial
58:33
cold shoulder, but Lucy just gets her foot on the ropes.
58:39
Before the free count, Lucy's kind of had enough of as she
58:46
said the fans chanting to see Sky to her, which definitely was
58:54
getting to her. She could not put Lily away
58:59
every time she tried to do something.
59:01
Winter would not stay down. Sky grabs the women's title,
59:08
Greenwood stops her as them both kind of fighting over the belt.
59:15
Eventually Winter spots Sky being distracted, hits the
59:21
frostbite which is effectively the skull crushing finale for
59:26
those that do not know, then hits the cold shoulder and gets
59:33
the 123 to become the new catch women's champion to a rather
59:41
loud pop from the crowd. A very fitting end to a catch
59:50
anniversary show, having someone that's a in truth a catch
59:56
regular that's fought from ring announcer through the card and
1:00:03
now is champion of that promotion.
1:00:09
If this was like AWWE or AW standard when?
1:00:18
Kind of Lily poses on the on the middle Rd with the belt lofted
1:00:22
up. You would have fireworks going
1:00:25
off just to signify kind of like how big this was.
1:00:34
I have to be said, this was a really good women's title match
1:00:40
despite it being almost 1 sided. But again, I think that kind of
1:00:51
way helped as well because of what was at stake.
1:00:55
Lily, if she lost, would have been a thumb back down to being
1:00:59
a ring announcer. So it felt very much like this
1:01:02
was a case of Lily having to fight through adversity, staying
1:01:08
in the contest, and then when she got a chance to kind of put
1:01:13
Lucy away, she did so well. Most of the highlights you'll
1:01:19
see feels like it was very much one sided.
1:01:23
It was. But I think this was superb in
1:01:27
how it all came together. And with that, it works so
1:01:32
beautifully. And that's why it was one one of
1:01:37
many great matches on this card. Honest, I've said it before,
1:01:46
kind of wrapping up the this particular portion of the show,
1:01:53
what are your final thoughts across the whole thing?
1:01:58
It was a great way to welcome Catch Pro to the new venue.
1:02:01
It was a good show from start to finish.
1:02:05
Not one bad match, no bad moments throughout the show.
1:02:10
Crowd was on fire. I it was a great show.
1:02:15
Yeah. Good way to start the year.
1:02:19
It's easily one of the best shows I've been to though in In
1:02:25
truth. I've only really started going
1:02:28
since like 2023, but from across all the shows I've been to
1:02:36
there's never really been a show I've been to where from top to
1:02:42
bottom every match has hit. Even when there's been a promo
1:02:48
which could have potentially let it down.
1:02:52
Even that build up and promo with Steen and Skinner was still
1:02:57
on point. Everything they went for on
1:03:01
Monday night hit and you can't say that about many shows.
1:03:08
I don't even think you could say that for like a Progress or a
1:03:12
Rev Pro show in Truth, but everything on this night I
1:03:19
suppose they kind of went into it going to a new venue and
1:03:22
wanting to just hit the ground running and make it an even more
1:03:31
special occasion than apart from it also being their 6th
1:03:35
anniversary show as well. Everything on this show just hit
1:03:40
magnificently and would get about 5 chef kisses on how well
1:03:46
everything just kind of like turned out.
1:03:50
And it did leave you kind of looking forward for like when
1:03:54
the next show actually happens because at the time of recording
1:04:01
nothing has been announced as to kind of like when the next show
1:04:07
is for catch Pro. I, I want to say it might be
1:04:14
like April, maybe, maybe back end of March, who knows.
1:04:21
But yeah, I, I genuinely can't wait for that, for that next
1:04:25
show to happen. Hello, I'm Jay Sherman and this
1:04:31
is coming attractions. And this coming weekend, we have
1:04:36
three technically 4 big shows happening in the Northwest.
1:04:43
On Saturday. We have attention turning to
1:04:48
Liverpool and Hangar 34 where TNT hold 2 particular shows, one
1:04:59
being the Ignition Rumble show where the card as I have it is
1:05:07
Ian Skinner versus Denzel Mack, Joe Rage versus Bullet, Holly
1:05:16
Barlow taking on Sky Smithson. A really much that I'm looking
1:05:24
forward to see is for the TNT Ignition title, Luke Jacobs
1:05:31
taking on Grichy. I feel we may get shenanigans in
1:05:38
that. We shall see and concluding the
1:05:44
show is a 20 person ignition Rumble match which tis Rumble
1:05:52
season. And I think if you're a
1:05:57
wrestling fan, whenever you hear like a rumble, you already get
1:06:02
get giddy because it is one of the most fascinating and fun or
1:06:11
stipulation matches there are. So we, we will we will see what
1:06:19
we shall see. Meanwhile, later that evening we
1:06:25
have Merseyside Massacre where the TNT Ultra X title will be
1:06:33
defended with Shay Monet defending against Tom Felwell,
1:06:41
Judas Grey and Scotty Rock. That has a potential to be one
1:06:50
of the standout matches of the day, not necessarily the show
1:06:55
itself. We have for the tag team titles
1:07:02
a Monsters Ball encounter with the Temple of Mallam, that being
1:07:09
Isaac North and Rob Drake as they take on Benjamin Holland
1:07:16
and Jack Knudson in Act 2. So we will see if the Temple of
1:07:24
Mallam are on the same page because the last time we saw
1:07:29
them they were not particularly on the same page, but we'll see
1:07:36
if they can put their differences to one side and
1:07:40
become one again. This is 1 match I am looking
1:07:48
forward to for different reasons.
1:07:51
Leonardo Darwin taking on session of Moff Martino.
1:07:59
I'm extremely looking forward to Darwin's entrance because I'm,
1:08:08
I'm really interested to see what they come up with for their
1:08:14
entrance on this occasion because the last couple that
1:08:20
they've come out with has been interesting, shall we say.
1:08:26
Hasn't beat the YMCA yet, but we will.
1:08:30
We'll see what Darwin comes up. We'll also see another match
1:08:37
that I'm looking forward. Actually, there's a lot of
1:08:39
matches I'm looking forward to on this Nightshade taking on
1:08:43
Lucy Sky, which will be an absolute bango with these two
1:08:49
ladies, Emerson Jane and Rain Leverkusen.
1:09:00
I mean, the car just can't get better, can it?
1:09:04
I mean, it can and it will try to with the TNT World Title,
1:09:13
Connor Mills looking to end the ridiculous reign that has been
1:09:20
the reign of greatness in Tate. Mayfair's, in a word, Miles.
1:09:31
Does Tate retain yes or no? Yes.
1:09:37
There we have it. I'll ask you because we'll we'll
1:09:42
be there across all those matches, or unless you want to
1:09:48
pick one from each show, which one are you looking forward to
1:09:52
the most? There's two matches to me that
1:09:59
stand out, maybe 3. So Critchie versus Luke Jacobs,
1:10:06
I can't wait for that much. That much is going to be so much
1:10:09
fun. Like to finally get to see
1:10:13
Critchie go one-on-one with Jacob said yeah, this match is
1:10:16
going to be a good one. And Temple of Malin versus Act 2
1:10:21
because it's the Monsters Ball stipulation.
1:10:23
This is one of my favourite stipulated matches, so I'm
1:10:28
looking forward to see what we bring into Monsters Ball.
1:10:33
We have to see some barbed wire. We need the thumb tax and we
1:10:37
need Janice. I'm wondering if Janice will
1:10:42
make an appearance. If not Janice, it might be the
1:10:46
British equivalent. What would the British
1:10:49
equivalent be? Gene.
1:10:52
Gene. Gene or Jeffrey?
1:10:55
Depends. I mean, there's a lot of
1:11:04
ignition that I'm, I'm quite looking forward to, to be fair,
1:11:09
Mack, who we saw back last September against Tommy Tanner.
1:11:17
I've seen Mack a couple of Times Now and he's just got better
1:11:22
every time I've seen him. Skinner, I imagine the the
1:11:30
locals will be very complimentary towards Mr Skinner
1:11:37
come Saturday while he kind of holds his nose in and avoid a
1:11:44
Pinocchio nose coming out because we both know that ain't
1:11:47
happening. It's going to be interesting to
1:11:51
see Joe Joe Rage and Bullet because you don't know a whole
1:11:57
lot about Joe Rage. So that's going to be an
1:12:03
interesting 1. Holly and Sky, I can imagine is
1:12:08
going to be just a bundle of fun, but equally going to be
1:12:12
hard hitting because they both have the same characteristics of
1:12:19
the they can be both funny, but at the same time they can be
1:12:22
absolute ass kickers when they have to be.
1:12:26
Jacobs and Critchie, it's that's just going to slap.
1:12:34
Rumble match is always an interesting kind of match to
1:12:39
watch anyhow, so that's going to be fun.
1:12:46
The Ultra X title again could be a potential show stealer.
1:12:53
Monsters Ball again, we've already spoke about Darwin and
1:12:58
Moth. That could be a absolute
1:13:02
cracker, if potentially very chaotic and fun for different
1:13:09
reasons. Nightshade and Sky are just
1:13:13
going to beat the shit out of each other.
1:13:15
I mean, let's be honest, that's all that's going to happen.
1:13:21
Emerson Jane and Rain Levikuzen Rain and Jane equally going to
1:13:27
be the same as night shading sky just going to beat the hell out
1:13:32
of each other. Mills and Mayfair's I don't see
1:13:38
Mills taking the title from Tate, but again, I it's I sense
1:13:47
shenanigans. Overall, that entire day in
1:13:53
Liverpool is going to be so much fun, seeing a lot of friends I
1:14:00
don't see often as well, so we'll be good to see them.
1:14:06
Also on Saturday night over in Morecambe, we have OPW Odyssey
1:14:15
Pro Wrestling overboard at the Morecambe Alhambra Theatre.
1:14:23
Four, well four matches and a rumble.
1:14:29
So we have Alexander Grey versus Craig Collins for the Morecambe
1:14:36
Bay Championship. We have the viral connection,
1:14:43
the VC taking on mystery opponents.
1:14:48
Maybe for the tag titles does not stress that, but you never
1:14:53
know. We have for the Women's
1:14:57
Championship a falls count Anywhere match where Leah Raven
1:15:04
will defend and look to break the longest streak in British
1:15:10
wrestling or a female champion as she goes one-on-one with the
1:15:18
person who she almost broke the arm of in Alana Austin.
1:15:25
However, there is a stipulation for this, so if Lana loses then
1:15:35
she can never challenge for the OPW Women's Championship as long
1:15:42
as Leo Raven is the champion. On the men's side of things for
1:15:52
the Odyssey Heavyweight Championship, Rick Marcus will
1:15:58
defend his title against that man Joey Hayes, and that should
1:16:06
be a fascinating title match over in Morocambe.
1:16:14
However, the final match on the card is the Overboard Rumble
1:16:23
looking at some of the names down Teddy Ray, Nightmare, RPD,
1:16:32
Decker, Troy Ryan, Nate Reese, and a few traditional faces that
1:16:42
you'll see on OPW shows. But that what I've just named
1:16:48
there, that is going to be an exciting Rumble.
1:16:54
RPDI believe said at the end of the last show that he will win
1:16:59
it and we'll set up a match with Rick Marcus.
1:17:05
So we will see if RPDS boast boastful premonition comes to
1:17:18
fruition, if that's even a word. So yes, that is what you good
1:17:26
folks in Markham will be having on Saturday night, but moving to
1:17:34
Sunday. Both starting at the well, I
1:17:40
suppose they're not starting at the same time.
1:17:43
The earlier show is at Stockport Guildhall.
1:17:50
Future Shock Wrestling presents Lotto Funder 2026, where no one
1:17:58
knows who's going to face each other.
1:18:01
So it's a blind tournament effectively.
1:18:07
So the 8 participants are as follows.
1:18:14
Helle Gorgon, Tom McCall which I'm interested to see how he
1:18:23
does in this, Danny Hope, Naje, Josh Easy, HT Drake, and last
1:18:35
but by no means least, Dynamite Lee.
1:18:42
So it's 4 qualifying matches with winners advancing to the
1:18:49
well to it will be two semifinals I imagine because
1:18:53
it's normally how they do it with the grand final to
1:18:58
determine who will get a title shot.
1:19:08
Originally I had Naji as the odds on favourite for this,
1:19:14
however I think we might see Pele taking this one home
1:19:21
personally. What's what's your takes on on
1:19:29
who might win it from from the names you've heard?
1:19:33
From the names I've heard, I think it's between I'll say
1:19:38
Dynamite Lee and Donny Hope. Interesting, interesting.
1:19:48
But we'll we'll, we'll see what what happens on Sunday.
1:19:54
However, there are still two more matches on this card, one
1:20:00
being the six man tag match with Troy Ryan and Slambulance, that
1:20:08
being Slam Johnson. And Doctor Proctor as they take
1:20:14
on Deck McCarthy, Hong and Aziz. So this is in a sense a prelude
1:20:26
to. I can't remember when the next
1:20:30
Hangover show is at the Fairfield, but it will contest
1:20:35
Deck McCarthy against Slam or Henry the Eighth, whichever they
1:20:42
decide to go down. So it's going to be interesting
1:20:48
to see where they go with this because they do still have the
1:20:55
For the Love of Future Shock show to come later in the month.
1:21:01
So they can do a bit more of a build up there.
1:21:04
I don't think they will because normally shows at bowlers the
1:21:11
almost tend to be their own little kind of show themselves.
1:21:17
However, one match that I am looking forward to is for the
1:21:23
women's title and sees Holly Barlow putting up her women's
1:21:29
title up against a debutante to future Shop in Saxa who seems to
1:21:41
be getting around all over the place.
1:21:44
It feels in in recent times she seems dotted sort of like here
1:21:49
there and everywhere which is great to see.
1:21:55
I haven't seen Saxa too much. I have a feeling you will have
1:22:00
seen her far more than than I have.
1:22:03
Yeah, I've seen her refer a few times.
1:22:05
Great addition for Future Shock. This is a match I was looking
1:22:09
forward to, but sadly I won't be there on Sunday.
1:22:11
But it'll be interesting to see how quickly she gets over with a
1:22:16
Future Shock audience. I don't know if many people are
1:22:19
fully aware of her, but whoever's in attendance room for
1:22:22
a treat. Because, I mean, it's not
1:22:27
necessarily the best thing to be remembered about.
1:22:31
Well, maybe it is, but when I think of Saxon out, I just think
1:22:36
of big T chopping one of the most viral clips.
1:22:44
I think I saw of like the back end last year.
1:22:51
I think everyone kind of like got a laugh out of it.
1:22:55
I think Sax has even joked about it as well.
1:22:57
But every time I watch that video and I hear the noise made,
1:23:06
it was bloody brutal. It has to be said.
1:23:14
Also on Sunday and completing near enough this podcast, we
1:23:21
take a trip to Wigan at the Monaco Theatre of the Monaco at
1:23:28
least for Grand Pro Wrestling's back with a bang.
1:23:34
This, the card itself is stacked and originally I was going to go
1:23:42
to this, but you know, funds, so the card itself.
1:23:52
So we have set to appear, it says is Jack Johnson, who lost
1:23:59
the GPW British title in a triple threat match to Sana
1:24:06
Derson and Jack Bandicoot on the last show.
1:24:12
He will be there. Matt Brooks and also the Austins
1:24:18
will be in attendance. RPD is going to speak about what
1:24:26
happened last time as it will be the first GPW show for quite a
1:24:33
while where he does not have the title in his grasp.
1:24:42
We have Kemper against Rob Drake, Sam Gradwell who made his
1:24:52
return on the last show, takes on Brady Phillips who their
1:25:00
their fights at the South Pro were one of the best feuds I'd
1:25:06
seen early on in my early travelling days.
1:25:12
So fans in Wigan are going to be treated there.
1:25:19
We have a fast track five way where Isaac N, Tony Wright, Joey
1:25:27
Hayes, Mickey Barnes and Teddy Ray will all do battle.
1:25:36
The GP Tag trophy sees FML taking on Fell Mel, it's a
1:25:48
tongue twister if there ever was one as Melissa Face and Tom
1:25:55
Falwell will look to try and get the tag trophy of the FML gang
1:26:07
for the GPW British Championship.
1:26:12
Sana Derson makes his first defence of the title as he takes
1:26:17
on George Hunter and in your main event, while my voice just
1:26:25
about holds out for the GPW heavyweight title.
1:26:30
Sandy Beach will make his first defence of the title, hoping to
1:26:38
defend it against Dylan Roberts with his manager Isaiah Quinn.
1:26:46
So we will not be having a Quinn at Future Shock unfortunately.
1:26:54
But there's a lot, there's a lot to process looking at that card.
1:27:04
So if you are in Wigan or if you can't make Future Shock or if
1:27:10
there's any other shows that I have missed, this looks like a
1:27:17
perfect show to go to. Equally, if you're in Stockport
1:27:22
or Manchester, tickets I think are still available or they
1:27:28
should be for the Future Shock show in Stockport.
1:27:32
He says that because I have still not got my ticket, but I
1:27:36
will tomorrow. Yeah, that is pretty much it for
1:27:44
this episode. Have you any last thoughts,
1:27:51
Miles, before we wrap this episode up?
1:27:56
No, just looking forward to another week of wraps TNT on
1:28:01
Saturday. It's going to be fun.
1:28:03
I still need to get my tickets for them two shows but there was
1:28:07
a the pre show match so TNTVIP. So if you get the VIP package
1:28:13
cost you a little bit extra. You get to see Lucian against
1:28:17
Tie Archer which be a fun little opener.
1:28:21
Always love a dark match. Like who doesn't love an extra
1:28:25
match? Can't complain and I get to give
1:28:27
TIE Archer more shit so fuck you TIE piece of shit.
1:28:35
And said we're feeling as well death.
1:28:40
That's pretty much it for for us to on this episode.
1:28:48
If you want to leave any feedback or drop a comment on X,
1:28:55
at least I am on I think it's brothers grappas on X.
1:29:03
Well, I try and make sure I'm saying the right thing, which is
1:29:08
always helpful. Not knowing your own socials.
1:29:14
So it is Brothers Grappas, Capital B, Capital G.
1:29:23
If you want to message me on my own account, it's PETA, Brothers
1:29:30
Capital B. Capital BI did say capital B.
1:29:36
Yeah, just the capitals. What else have we got?
1:29:41
And the new podcast X. Yes you can.
1:29:49
You can find this. Anyway, if you're on Spotify
1:29:52
you'll know this. If you want to possibly give a
1:29:58
like and a comment on this show I'd really appreciate it because
1:30:03
I'm trying to see how many likes I get on this before I get the
1:30:11
initial one star review somewhere down the line.
1:30:14
So let's try and keep it going. I want to get to 5 months before
1:30:19
I get someone saying this person has no clue what he's talking
1:30:23
about, which in fairness they would probably be accurate on
1:30:28
that sense because I don't have a clue what I'm talking about
1:30:31
half the time. Offer them that.
1:30:38
Thank you for listening. I don't have a witty outro.
1:30:42
I only have witty intros, though some people will argue that it's
1:30:49
not even witty. But if you're there in Liverpool
1:30:55
on Saturday, just say hi. I'll say hi back and look at you
1:31:01
weirdly. If you're there in Stockport, I
1:31:06
will be there hopefully. I haven't got my ticket but I
1:31:09
should be there at ringside. Fingers crossed there's still
1:31:15
tickets for ringside. Other than that, thank you for
1:31:19
listening. If you are going to a show,
1:31:22
enjoy it no matter where you are.
1:31:26
But for now, at least, it's a goodbye from me, and it's a
1:31:31
goodbye from Miles. Yes, it is goodbye.
1:31:37
Thank you very much and we will catch you on the next episode.
