Pride Promotions - Heroes and Legends 5
So before the event, was the meet and greet, chance to meet the guys get them to sign stuff and take pics with them
(excuse the ugly guy in the pictures
)
Now the Guildhall was once a church as you can tell from this picture
however the pictures on the top of the wall are a little strange to say the least, so to the matches themselves
Doug Williams (blue trucks), Lomaxx (in Red) & Mad dog vinnie clay (in black) vs Eddie Ryan (right with mask). Eddie Dennis (left) & Kelly Sixx
(middle)
A really good opener, a competitive match with everyone getting decent ring, the largest man in the match Lomaxx dominated much of the match when he was in the ring. Doug Williams used his experience to do what was needed and poor Clay was the faces punching bag. A lot of double and triple team moves by the heel team mainly against Eddie Dennis, but got the hot tag to Eddie Ryan he cleared house, all the faces delivered their finishers to Clay for Ryan to pin him for the 1 2 3
Joey Ryan vs Adam Maxted (reality star from love island)
Joey Ryan's Entrance
An entertaining match, Maxted has certainly been learning his craft, seems to be improving in leaps and bounds. Back and forth match with a lot of offence after the usual Ryan antics during the beginning of the match in which he wanted Maxted to touch his cock, ended with Ryan sticking a lollypop in Adam mouth and giving him a superkick
The finish of the match
Angelina love (PWP female champion ) vs Bobbie Tyler vs Laura James
Ladies Entrances
Sadly the worse match of the night, Love at the beginning of the match sat with the crowd and watch Tyler vs James stick up the place, and only entered to break up the pin. A lot of the action was really sloppy, however decent end to the match, with Tylers verison of the paige turner to crown new Pride female champion
conclusion of the match
Professionals (Joshua Knott & Joel Redman (former NXT talent)) defeat PWP Tag team champions Tyler Hawke & Carlito (replacing john harding) special ref john harding
introductions
So the PWP champions are Hawke & Harding, however Harding is injured so they make him the special ref for this match and special replacement for Harding is Carlito. Really good Tag team match, but you can tell a good tag team compared to two good single wrestlers with no connections, The professional did a lot of tag team manoeuvres, while Hawke & Carlito there were none. Harding called it down the middle and his face reaction when he counted the pin and realise he lost his half of the tag team title, was a good touch
conclusion of the match
Chris Andrew vs John Killbane
Kinda of a snooze match, Killbane is a new comer to PWP, and had a valet who must be over 250lbs and was probably bigger than her wrestler. The match was interference from the valet, and chains to the face, cheap shot all to Andrews, he even had a cannonball from the valet. However one interference back fired, one spear it was all over.
Jeff Cobb vs Hard Flyer vs Gideon vs Def Hellmer Lo'Guennec – 4 way elimination match
Samoan vs Portuguese vs English vs French, First time seeing Cobb in person and boy is he impressive with his power and suplexes. It was roughly sub 10 min match but full of action. See
the video for all the eliminations
(excuse the darkness of the video, it was getting darker in the building)
Simon Grimm (former Simon Gotch) vs Ultimo Tiger
The main event and a great one, Grimm facing the top star in PWP, this was a technical dream match, moves and counters, this has everyone on the edge of their seats. Grimm is a technical master against another technical wrestler it was a class match, but Grimm edged the match with an double underhook powerbomb for the pinfall, great way to end a good evening.
