GPW Kristian Zane Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Wouldn't be impossible for him to be at both events. He qualified for the CC8 back in July don't forget! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie Freebird Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Seconded on the graphics, they look awesome. Â What is the usual ratio of kids / adult wrestling fans at this promotion, roughly? Also, what kind of number is an average draw if you don't mind me asking?

Also, what kind of number is an average draw if you don't mind me asking?   I'd say it's a pretty family based promotion from what I know.  Richie - go to a show and enjoy the wrestling , sure it will be an ace show . Don't drink - I challange you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPW Kristian Zane Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Shows are suitable for fans of all ages so we get a good mix of people and we tend to average around 200-300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Big Benny HG Posted November 20, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted November 20, 2013 Seconded on the graphics, they look awesome. What is the usual ratio of kids / adult wrestling fans at this promotion, roughly? Also, what kind of number is an average draw if you don't mind me asking? Top draws have been 400+ this year. Dropped off a bit for the last two, but I'd imagine it'll be back to that kind of level for this one.  It's certainly a family-friendly product, and there are plenty of kids there, but there is an ever-growing vocal adult contingent that can be close to half the audience at times.

Richie Freebird Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Thanks very much for the replies gentlemen. I was half considering ditching the HXC show and maybe coming to Wigan instead, but I think we're just going to have a break from wrestling altogether on this weekend now. Â Best of luck with the show, the card looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king_dezeeuw06 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 That is a really good line up (except Jim Nastic who I've never heard of) I'd be very interested in going to this but it's the same night as Rev Pro in Leeds and the chance to see the Forever Hooligans over here probably wont happen again. Â I hate it when good wrestling shows clash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lightningxlock Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 It's been a while since I watched the previous tournaments but this has got to be the most stacked CC ever. Here's hoping for some continuity and that we get Ligero vs Bubblegum and Diamond vs Gallagher in the first round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Noble Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 With all this pending cruiser action this Friday, we thought it only fair to balance the scales a little bit and include a huge heavyweight six man. The teams have been announced and the match is...   Heavyweight Six Man Tag: T-Bone, "Bad Lad" Micky Barnes, Drill v. DDL, Bin Man, Cyanide  T-Bone found himself on the losing side last month when he, Jason Logan and "Sexy Legs" Cameron Kraze were defeated by Sexy Kev and the Hunter Brothers. GPW new comers and looking to make a name for themselves, The Bad Lads, Barnes and Drill have vowed that this will not happen with them in his corner. The 3 have challenged the trio who closed last month's show unified, former GPW Heavyweight Champions Cyanide and Dangerous Damon Leigh along with former British Champion and North West Rookie League winner, Bin Man! A tough challenge awaits!   Tickets selling fast as a lot of interest surrounds this very special final show of 2013!

GPW Kristian Zane Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 From The Vault: A Crazy Cruiser 8 Retrospective  Crazy Cruiser 8 2006  The first CC8 tournament was contested between September and November 2006. The name "Crazy Cruiser 8" had floated around GPW since it's inception, in fact, keen eyed readers may recall there was even a "Crazy Cruiser 8" match ( an 8 way one fall contest) at "The Return" in 2004 but it was only in 2006 when the tournament as we know it today began to take shape.   Qualifying Rounds  Bubblegum def Rupert Holmes, Danny Hope and Sam Bailey-Keep The Faith El Ligero def Kenzo Richards-Keep The Faith  Darkside and Danny Hope fought to a double count-out-Friday Night Thriller 2006 Joseph Hayes def Spud-Friday Night Thriller  Wildcards: Emil Sitoci, Kris Travis, CJ Banks  Notable happenings from the first ever qualifiers included: Bubblegum winning the 4 way and then going on to join forces with WKD to take on SIN later in the show, Danny Hope attempting to qualify for a second time by using the persona "Fashion Dan" to win a Battle Royal over Darkside. After a singles match resulted in a draw, Kenzo Richards initially qualified over Ligero however there was a dispute with the official and the match restarted and Ligero was victorious.  Quarter-finals  CJ Banks def El Ligero Bubblegum def Kris Travis Darkside def Danny Hope Joseph Hayes def Emil Sitoci  I think it's fair to say that November 2nd, the night of the first CC8 was the night when people sat up and started to take notice of one CJ Banks. Up until this point, Banks had mainly been a tag team wrestler yet to recognise his full potential but by scoring an impressive win over El Ligero (resulting in a rov and more than holding up his end in a match with Bubblegum, one thing was for certain, Banks wasn't going to be in the shadows for much longer. Nowadays he's in the main event of not just GPW but for promotions all over the United Kingdom and deservedly so.  Miscellaneous Trivia: Emil Sitoci is currently (at time of writing) the Dutch Pro Wrestling Heavyweight Champion and recently successfully defended the title against Jushin Liger.  Semi-Finals  Joseph Hayes def Darkside Bubblegum def CJ Banks  Non Tournament: British Title Match DDL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
