Phoenix Pro Wrestling

A few times I have pointed out in my blog about Phoenix Pro Wrestling so I'm going to go into a bit of detail about the company. Now Phoenix Pro Wrestling is a company of which I design graphics for and have put together one music video for, but what makes Phoenix Pro Wrestling to me is the welcome you get as soon as you walk through the doors, you know it is going to be a good show. To go on I will talk briefly about the previous shows before bringing up the upcoming show, this Friday.

March 18th 2011

On March 18th 2011, the first time I witnessed Phoenix Pro Wrestling it was an amazing night. Things kicked off well with an Evolution League match; the Evolution League is a table of which upcoming wrestlers battle it out for points in 2011 to win the league (3 points a win, 1 point a draw, 0 points a loss). The winner then becomes the number one contender for the PPW Championship (BFG Series before the BFG series). So anyway, it kicked off with "Luscious" Lucas Black defeating Nate Colt to win 3 points.

The next match was then an Eastside/Westside Open Challenge Falls Count Anywhere Match, "Hellraiser" Brian Wright who was accompanied by his manager Zero Tolerance issued the open challenge that was then answered by, Joey Sanchez. Sanchez however was on the losing side of this match.

After this match we came back to the Evolution League in which Matt Pedin faced Jamie Feerick. Both guys only gained a point due to double count out, this was also down to Lucas Black locking both competitors outside the venue.

Just before the interval fans of the West Midlands witnessed their favourite, Tommy Gunn beat Lord Graham Thomas III following a 450 Splash. For me I've seen these guys plenty of times and they always have me gripped.

Back after the interval and it was back to the Evolution League, in which Justin Thorne and Davey Blaze again both gained one point due to time limit and interference from Lucas Black who then topped the League with three points.

Due to the timing of the event there was a Comic Relief Charity Battle Royal in which Tommy Gunn won. For winning this match Tommy was entered into the second triple threat PPW Championship qualifying match. Talking about the triple threats our final match and the Main Event was, El Ligero Vs Lionheart Vs Paul Malen. The winner of this match would go on to face whoever won the second triple threat for the PPW Championship.

In an intense battle that saw El Ligero and Lionheart team up to take Paul Malen out of the equation first, El Ligero was named the first number one contender for the PPW Championship.


April 17th 2011


The first match we received when Phoenix Pro Wrestling returned for their second show was a Combat Zone Street Fight between "Adrenaline" Danny Chase against the "Unstoppable" Andy Wild. However as nicknames go they aren't always true, when Danny Chase beat Andy Wild in the first match of the evening.


"Luscious" Lucas Black returned on the second show to face the "Hellraiser" Brian Wright in an Evolution League match, now both weren't favourite with the crowd in the first show but during the second show more people liked Brian Wright for going against Lucas Black. However Lucas Black remained top of the league after beating Brian Wright and gaining another three points.

The next match would be two of the Evolution League guys stepping up to face, The Myatt Legacy of Ryan Myatt and Keith Myatt. Keith is an old school British wrestler from the World of Sport days and was set on teaching the two young guys a lesson however, Matt Pedin and Davey Blaze stepped up to the challenge and beat The Myatt Legacy.

In a second tag match of the evening, Nate Colt and Scott Maverick tagged against and beat, "Team Scotland" Jamie Feerick and Steven Xavier.

The final match of the night was the second, PPW Championship match qualifier. Tommy Gunn had previously qualified on the last show but had tough competition in, "The Wonderkid" Jonny Storm and "The Heavyweight House Of Pain" Stixx. It proved just that as Jonny Storm was the victorious one in the match and went on to face, El Ligero for the PPW Championship at the next show.


13th May 2011 (Friday 13th Special)


In the first match of the night, Kid Fite squared up against, "Adrenaline" Danny Chase in a Casket match and proved victorious as he qualified to be in the final of the PPW King of the Deathmatch Tournament. The next match in the tournament and of the evening saw, Tommy Gunn yet again beat Lord Graham Thomas III but in a Kiss My Foot Challenge (changed from an I Quit match by LGT III). So the PPW KOTD 2011 Final would see Tommy Gunn face Kid Fite.

Mad Man Manson always a fan favourite then arrived to face, "The Greek God" Aaron Adonis and what a match it was, laughs all the way through due to Mad Man Manson who picked up the victory.

"Textbook" Dave Breaks then (pun intended") broke onto the PPW Scene to issue a "Textbook Challenge". The first ever challenge was answered by "Hellraiser" Brian Wright's manager, Zero Tolerance. In an amazing match, Dave Breaks pulled out the victory as was expected but Zero put up a good fight.

Speaking of Brian Wright he teamed with The Myatt Legacy before the interval to face Matt Pedin, Davey Blaze and their partner, Nate Colt. Yet again, The Myatt Legacy were put to shame by their opponents as Pedin, Blaze and Colt won the match.

After the interval Lucas Black returned again and was this time teaming with Justin Thorne to take on Steven Xavier and Scott Maverick in a tag team match. Lucas Black and Justin Thorne picked up the victory.

The PPW Championship match was next and such a classic match between El Ligero and Jonny Storm I could watch it again and again, El Ligero was the victor and was crowned the first ever, PPW Champion. After the match, Jonny Storm issued a rematch to El Ligero who accepted.

The final match of the night saw Kid Fite face Tommy Gunn in the King of the Deathmatch 2011 final. This match was a last man standing match and went all over the venue. Tommy Gunn however was the victor and was crowned, PPW King Of The Deathmatch 2011.

June 17th 2011


In the previous show, Paul Malen returned and wasn't alone as he bought, "Special Edition" Joseph Connors along with him to face Flash Morgan and "Perfect" Pete Dunne. Unlucky for Flash and Pete as they were the first to fall victim to "The Predators" on the night.

In an Evolution League match, Nate Colt gained 3 points as he defeated, "Hellraiser" Brian Wright. The third match of the night was a triple threat divas match between Bacardi, Pollyanna and the returning, Chrissy Valentine. This wasn't the best match to date that I've ever seen but pulling through an injury on the night, Bacardi toughed it out; however Chrissy Valentine was victorious after pinning, Pollyanna.

Having appeared on WWE Raw in three matches against Umaga on the same night, Andy Boy Simmonz came to PPW and was set to face Lord Graham Thomas III who has been on a losing streak in PPW. That streak continued as Andy Boy Simmonz was victorious in the match.

After the interval Lucas Black continued to pick up wins and top the Evolution League as he defeated Matt Pedin. One thing I haven't pointed out is the guys in the Evolution League are trainees from The House Of Pain in Nottingham and from Scotland.

Zero Tolerance came back to PPW to wrestle his second match and what a match it was as he picked up the victory against, Wild Boar from 4 Front Wrestling.

The final match of the night was for the PPW Championship as the champ, El Ligero was set to defend against Jonny Storm once again. In yet another amazing match sadly ended in a no contest as Paul Malen and Joseph Connors attacked both El Ligero and Jonny Storm. But their path of destruction didn't end there as the knocked out the referee and PPW Ring Announcer, Mark Adams. After the beat down and when Jonny was able to fight back he issued a challenge to Paul Malen for the next show to face him one on one. Paul Malen accepted the challenge.

PPW Presents: Return Of The King


PPW is returning to the West Bromwich Labour Club this coming Friday and what a show that is lined up so far. Hot off the press and recently signed is, CZW Star, Drew Gulak who will be facing Scott Maverick in a COMBAT ZONE STREET FIGHT.
