Agreed, the 3 matches so far are very good, keep them coming!

 

Going off the guys on the poster I'd like to see Kincaid vs Ligero.

 

Also would be nice to see Lionheart and Noam Dar feature somewhere to represent Scotland since their scene is doing so well.

ICW have a show in Glasgow the same day, unfortunately (for BritWresFest, anyway).

R.J. Singh vs Rockstar Spud

 

BritWres-Fest 2012 will see a battle between the two most famous characters in the modern era of British wrestling, as the XWA have now announced their match for the history making event on Sunday April 1st in London. The rivalry between RockStar Spud and RJ Singh dates back to the old FWA. Their first big match was at the famous but sadly now departed Morecambe Dome in July 2005 in the finals of the first ever FWA Flyweight Title Tournament, when RJ Singh (then Ross Jordan) defeated Spud to become the inaugual Flyweight Champion. Singh and Spud went on to wrestle each other many times in the old FWA including in brutal Last Man Standing and ladder matches. Meanwhile after the old FWA folded in 2007 and was reborn as the XWA, Singh went on to hold the Flyweight Title on three occasions while The RockStar made history in 2009 by becoming the only man to ever hold the XWA Heavyweight and Flyweight titles at the same time.

 

The winner of this contest will earn themselves a spot in the main event of the XWA's biggest event of the year "War On The Shore", in a number one contenders four way. XWA promoter Greg Lambert said: "I can't think of two better men to represent the XWA at BritWresFest. The legacy of The RockStar and the Bollywood Dream in our hometown of Morecambe is well documented, where their rivalry dates back seven years. They typify what the XWA is all about, strong characters with great gimmicks who can wrestle and entertain. And their ring entrances should be worth the admission price alone!".

 

In the last year both Spud and Singh have attracted mainstream press attention with Snog, Marry, Avoid and a BBC Asia documentary respectively. As a result this match was the first on the BritWres-Fest 2012 event, to be announced in a national newspaper, courtesy of the Daily Star. You can read the link here:

NGW Championship Triple Threat

 

RAMPAGE BROWN vs NATHAN CRUZ vs EL LIGERO

 

Brit-Wres Fest 2012 is really shaping up, an incredible array of contests from some of the best British wrestling promotions in the country. Now Hull's New Generation Wrestling has announced the match that they will present at the history making event on Sunday April 1st. The newly crowned NGW Champion Rampage Brown is set to lock horns with 'Mexican Sensation' El Ligero and 'The Showstealer' Nathan Cruz in the biggest tripple threat bout the company could possibly present.

 

Since Rampage Brown made is debut in NGW, after a stint for WWE feeder FCW, he has instantly become the new stand out of the promotion, caputuring the NGW Championship in convincing fashion just this past weekend on March 10th. But in Triple Threat competition, Brown will have his work cut out for him with El Ligero, who already holds one half of the NGW Tag Team Championships. Ligero is considered to be not just one of the best wrestlers in NGW but certainly one of the very best on the entire UK scence.

 

The other challenge comes from Nathan Cruz. Cruz become the breakout star of NGW after beating Alex Shane for the rights of 'The Showstealer' name in 2010. He has since gone from strength to strength both in the ring and as a name on the British circuit. A former NGW Championship himself and now a regular for Brian Dixon's All-Star Cruz, is without question, one of the most promising prospects in British Wrestling so far this decade. With this being the first high profile defence of Rampage Brown's NGW Title and also a showcase on the world stage for three of the best talents in Europe, this match is the perfect addition to an event that is already well on its way to achieving new heights for British wrestling shows.

Looks like I won't be able to make this show (or the IPW:UK show the night before) now. Real shame, since regardless of whether you buy into the 'revolution' hype this looks an awesome card from an in-ring perspective.

 

As such, I'm keeping an interested eye out for when the promised details are revealed about how this show is going to be available to view/stream from home.

BWC Scarlo Scholarship Ladder Match

 

XANDER COOPER vs WILD BOAR vs SAM BAILEY vs MARK ANDREWS

 

The Scarlo Scholarship Championship is the most hotly contested prize in the entire BWC system and at BritWres-Fest 2012, it will be defended in a jaw dropping four corners Ladder Match. This match will feature a selection of the UK's top young talents as part of the BWC Progess Division, as the 6th match announced courtesy of London's new "Progress Wrestling".

 

Since winning the scholarship at the inaugural BritWres-Fest in February 2011, in a brutal Ladder Match, Xander Cooper has gone on to make a real name for himself in both the FWA's "Adrenaline Division" and his home promotion, Manchester's Futureshock Wrestling. Under the guidance of names like Alex Shane and Justin Richards, Cooper has made huge strides in the last 12 months since winning the prestigous scholarship. However some believe that his recent success has had an extremely negative effect of his ego . None more so than his former fellow trainees and wrestlers at FutureShock.

 

Enter the second competitor.

Lucha Britannia Championship Match

 

LEON BRITANNICO vs SANTERIA vs METALLICO vs DARK BRITANNICO

On Sunday April 1st, British wrestling fans can expect something completely different as current Lucha Britannia world champion, Leon Britannico will face Metallico, Santeria & his mysterious half brother, Dark Britannico, in a fatal four way for the championship at BritWrestFest 2012!

 

At Lucha Britannia Underground on March 16th, this match was firmly made. Dark Britannico unexpectedly laid out the referee with a spectacular shooting star press, during what would have almost certainly been the winning pinfall on Leon Britannico by the monster Santeria. Dark Britannico then took out the giant, looking like he was going to save his brother from clear defeat. However, what happened next was a huge shock to everyone. Dark Britannico dropped his own half brother, the Lucha champion Leon Britannico & looked towards the championship title with envious eyes. At this point Metallico, a long term friend of Leon, entered the ring. It was just in time because as a now recovered Santeria went to hit the fallen Leon, he instead found Metallico blocking his path. Sadly Leon recovered to see Metallico standing over him and wrongly assuming it was in fact Metallico who had struck him earlier. An enraged champ hit his friend with a huge 720 turning kick and within seconds friends became rivals as Metalico & Leon ripped each other appart with a huge brawl to the shocked silence of all in attendance.

 

It now appears that everyone is after a shot at Leon Brittanico but for totally different reasons. Santeria feels he would be the champion now if it was not for the actions of the Dark Britanico. Metallico has a personal score to settle with his former friend and the Lucha Britania title just happens to be in the way of dealing with it. While who truly knows the motives of the Dark Britannico? What makes this even more interesting now is that it also appears to all, after March 19th, each challenger has a side issue with one of the other competitors too. One thing is for sure, it will certainly come to a head on Sunday April 1st.

 

If you've not seen Lucha Britania before, here is what to expect from the four wrestlers on show:

 

- Leon Britannico is the high flying star who has been wowing crowds all over the UK for the last 8 years. His superhero look & fighting style make him a fan favorite whenever he makes an appearance. He is also the current Lucha Britannia World champion.

 

- Metallico is part man, part machine, all puroresu power & technique. Like a bionic man rebuilt from spare parts of other wrestlers. Some say he has a bit of old British style 'Burridge' within his bone crunching Lucha curcuits.

 

- Santeria is the ultra menacing near 7ft tall 'brujo' or 'witchman' with incredible powers of suggestion, technical ability & agility which defys explanation for a creature of his size. The mere sight of this Voodooesque giant leaves most of his opponants frozen with fear!

 

- Dark Britannico is the slightly larger half brother of Leon who was thought missing in action. He has now resurfaced to claim what he belives to be his, the Lucha Britannia World Championship Title. DB seems to be able to do everything his little brother can do but with a nastier, nore deadly edge to it. A high flying Lucha Libre genius with a grudge is a dangerous foe indeed!
