dopper Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) THIS IS ONE CONTINUOUS TOPIC FOR ALL BRITISH REVOLUTION WRESTLING EVENTS. IT WAS STARTED IN EARLY 2018 WITH THE FIRST POST SHOWN BELOW, AND NEW POSTS ARE ADDED EACH TIME THERE IS SOMETHING TO ADD! Not sure if anybody outside of this area will be aware of BWR, but they are putting together a really good string of shows each month in North East Lincolnshire, usually having matches in which big names from the UK scene go against some local young talent. The debut show 'Uprising' was in July and the card included Joseph Conners, Bubblegum, & Robbie X. That was followed by 'No Turning Back' which again featured Conners & Bubblegum along with Lana Austin, and Stevie Knight was the guest referee for the main event which was Doug Williams versus a local guy Simon Lancaster. Joseph Conners won the BWR Championship Tournament at their third show in September, 'Take The Throne', and he defended it against Dave Mastiff at 'The Last Stand' in October. El Ligero also debuted on that show and there was a crazy steel cage match with two local guys who had been feuding throughout these first few shows. This past Friday night saw Conners successfully defend the BWR Title against Bubblegum at 'Ignition' and then issued a challenge to Pete Dunne. Also on the card Mark Andrews debuted against a local high flyer Tom Weaver and Lana Austin faced Mae Young Classic participant Ayesha Raymond. Over the weekend, they announced Pete Dunne accepted the challenge from Joseph Conners and they will meet in the main event of the next show 'No Gods No Masters' in Cleethorpes on Friday March 2nd. Also scheduled to appear are Jimmy Havoc in a hardcore match, Kay Lee Ray, El Ligero, Robbie X, Tyson T-Bone and more. This is big news locally as the Cleethorpes Memorial Hall used to be a hotbed for wrestling up until Davey Boy Smith wrestled there in 1993. There has not been another wrestling show in that building since. Up until it was demolished over a decade ago, the FWA used to have shows in the Cleethorpes Winter Gardens during their hot spell in 2003/2004. Tickets went on sale this morning at the following places: Solid Entertainments, 46 Wellowgate, Grimsby, DN32 0RA Telephone: 01472 349222Online: http://www.solidentertainments.com/presents.htm#BWR Edited October 21, 2019 by dopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dopper Posted June 2, 2018 Author Share Posted June 2, 2018 I didn’t attend last night’s show but have seen on twitter this morning that Joseph Conners retained the BWR Championship by defeating Jack Jester. The next show is the First Anniversary on Friday 6th July in Cleethorpes and the main event is a 3-way between Conners, Pete Dunne, and Jimmy Havoc.

dopper Posted March 19, 2019 Author Share Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) BWR’s first over-18’s show is coming this June, with ULF HERMAN scheduled to come out of retirement. The venue is on the seafront at the perfect time of year and the train station (with direct trains from Doncaster, Sheffield, Manchester, and elsewhere) is next door.

dopper Posted May 13, 2019 Author Share Posted May 13, 2019 I suggested this should happen a few months ago on Twitter, didn’t actually think it would though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Is that the same Iceman who did this and was racist to Bagga? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snitsky's back acne Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 May have to pop along to this. Ulf was a big favourite of mine in the 1PW days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some great things happening in the #GrimsbyGraps lately. Looking forward to this show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snitsky's back acne Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Sadly, Ulf has had to drop out - which is a shame as he was THE reason my friend and I bought tickets to the show [as we were big Ulf fans in the 1PW days]. Still, I reckon the show will still be a good 'un even if the old fart in me is going '8 o'clock start time!? I've got work in the morning!'.

It will be interesting to see if this survives the politics. Might have to go and watch this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snitsky's back acne Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 R-Rated show was a lot of fun. Held in an abandoned arcade which looks like it hosts illegal cock fights most of the time, the setting was perfect. Sha Samuels doing a moonsault [well, kind of] off the top of a portaloo [yup, no plumbing in this facility, kiddies] was a sight I never thought I would see. Iceman's return was brief as he legit seemed to knock himself out taking a crazy bump into the crowd barrier - not before his opponent sliced his arm open with a stanley knife though. One match had a stip that every time someone hit a superkick someone in the crowd would get a free shot from the dude walking round handing out shots. Robbie X was very impressive - still not sure about that red face of his though. Main event was absolutely insane - have never seen a death match live so being able to feel the slivers of glass from fluorescent lighttubes fly towards me was quite the experience. Big FN Joe worked the match in a shirt and Y-fronts and got a nasty hole in his leg which gushed blood when his opponent smashed a lighttube across it. Drawing pins, a barbed wire ladder and a barbed wire 2x4 was also used - the ring was a complete mess when the show ended. Don't know Joe's managers name but he again seemed perfect for this environment and was someone you really wanted to see get punched. Definitely would attend another one of these shows.

dopper Posted June 11, 2019 Author Share Posted June 11, 2019 BWR's Second Anniversary Show is coming up in Cleethorpes. Lots of names announced - see poster - and the first two matches too: One year after Joseph Conners lost the BWR Heavyweight Championship in a 3-way match with Pete Dunne & Jimmy Havoc, he is attempting to reclaim that Title challenging Jack Jester. Jester won the Title back in December with a Tombstone Piledriver off the top rope through a steel chair, and has been dominant ever since. Also there will be a Anarchy Briefcase Ladder Match in which six wrestlers will challenge to grab the briefcase guaranteeing them a Championship match at a time of their choosing in the next 12 months. Tickets went on sale yesterday and, according to the lady on the phone when I got mine today, are going very fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
