goldeneye86 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Does anyone remember a small wrestling group called MPW which was based in Coventry and part of the NWA Hammerlock Group?  I remember that they did shows at the AT7 centre and offered training every Sunday for aspiring wrestlers to be.  Such talent like..  Leon Lionheart Jetta Jordan E Raze Ronin Hatred Thor Majik Psycho Steve White Tiger Nero Jekkel Edgar Stryfe Imperial Dragon Surf Digby Danny Oxman Danny Garnell  Question tho: What ever happened to these guys and where are you now? still wrestling? & also why did MPW dissapear?

Paid Members Up Chuck Posted August 3, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted August 3, 2012 Out of all of those, Jekkel and Edgar Stryfe are working on their own shows in the Cov area (AMP Wrestling and occasionally Triple X Wrestling), and Danny Garnell wrestles a lot down south for IPW:UK and others. Surf Digby might also still be wrestling, and he posts on here (as BaztnmFan#1 or something, thanks to a random name change thread from a while back) so he'll probably pop in here at some point. Â MPW slowly broke down when Majik stopped being involved with it, and stopped completely at the end of 2004 when Leicester Pro Wrestling, run by Ronin and Mad Mike, sprang up as an offshoot using a lot of ex-MPW guys (including Majik a couple of times). It lasted a few years, running mainly in Birmingham despite the name. I was involved with it as a referee, MC, commentator and for my few ill-advised wrestling matches, from their second or third show until about 2007 when I left for uni. Â A while after that, Mike stepped away and Ronin carried on running it as Live Pro Wrestling, which I'm fairly certain has packed up now. Mike and Ronin did at one point decide to restart MPW alongside LPW, but that never got further than having someone design a new logo and posting a thread about it on here.

Paid Members Quentin Posted August 3, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted August 3, 2012 Does anyone remember a small wrestling group called MPW which was based in Coventry and part of the NWA Hammerlock Group? I remember that they did shows at the AT7 centre and offered training every Sunday for aspiring wrestlers to be.  Such talent like..  Leon Lionheart Jetta Jordan E Raze Ronin Hatred Thor Majik Psycho Steve White Tiger Nero Jekkel Edgar Stryfe Imperial Dragon Surf Digby Danny Oxman Danny Garnell  Lionheart, White Tiger and Jetta are no longer wrestling Jordan E and Psycho Steve still wrestle and train around Coventry Raze and Majik are now both actors... Majik can occasionally be persuaded to put on the purple trunks No idea what happened to Thor, Hatred or Oxman. Nero is still wrestling under the name Maz Angelus and doing well Imperial Dragon is now making music but I do believe he's started training again recently I believe Surf is still doing the odd bit of training As mentioned, Edgar and Jekkel run events in Coventry and both are still active.  Like opcws said really, Majik stepped away and Hammerlock was wining down and the whole thing kind of fell apart after that. What was left, half became PWA in Coventry and half became LPW in Leicester/Birmingham. Neither was quite the same.  There's always Triple X if you want to see the good stuff in Coventry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never checked out Triple X However I'm always willing too :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Up Chuck Posted August 4, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted August 4, 2012 Huh. I spent about ten minutes looking at a picture of Max Angelous trying to decide if it was Nero or not, and came to the conclusion that it wasn't. Â Oh, goldeneye, just FYI, we have a rule about not quoting a massive post just to add a one or two-line reply. Makes the thread very awkward for other people to read.

House of Pain Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I can assure you, Nero is definitely Max Angelus. He's just worked very hard on his physique and look and is now using his real name. Â Also, Samurai from the old MPW days now wrestles as Kaleb Hughes. Recently back from injury, he was doing quite well for himself before and is now shaking off some ring rust down at the school before picking up where he left off. Â Imperial Dragon/Robbie Victory did indeed return to training for a few session and I hope he continues. Â Hatred changed his name to Mile Wyld and appeared on Total Wipeout and on some HOP shows for a while, but doesn't wrestle anymore to my knowledge.

He really looks the part!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobystag Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Max Angelus made an immediate impression when I saw him for the first time in April. I'm not surprised he's been wrestling for a long time as he seemed way too polished to have sprung out of nowhere. I'm glad I didn't give him a super-rookie tagline now.....

AlternativeWrestling Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I read on the talkwrestlingonline forum that Danny Oxman passed away, apologies if this is not true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Williams Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I read on the talkwrestlingonline forum that Danny Oxman passed away, apologies if this is not true. Â This seems to confirm it, never saw him wrestle but having been around a lot of former MPW guys had heard about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Quentin Posted August 4, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted August 4, 2012 Jesus Christ! I can't believe that. I did a few road trips with Danny in the fairly short time he was involved in wrestling. Very natural at it, no doubt due to his Judo experience. Really sad to hear that.

Chris_Stone Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Oh fuck! Man, i had no idea, that really sucks. Â Danny was always a pretty top bloke and as Quentin says a complete natural in the ring. This man, could move for a guy his size, had a great look and a good style. Â Infact, my first match in MPW (aside from Battle royals etc) was against Danny Oxman, I remember taking his finish and it looking brutal as hell on tape, it's a shame the footage of that match has long since disappeared along with a good portion of the older footage i never got around to getting on my PC. Â Really sucks to hear this, albeit late: RIP Oxman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
