Not giving away to much here but…….. We have a card and most of the talent confirmed for our second show.
Our mission to bring to Cornwall the VERY BEST the UK has to offer continues.
Be at our July 26th Show LIVE from Wadebridge where we will be announcing more details and also who our “Main Event Star” will be.
So as per normal it has been a while since we updated and gave you all a peek behind that curtain as to what is going on in the world of CPW.
As you are (Hopefully) aware Carlito is no longer appearing on the show 😦 however the reason for this is/was totally out of our control as he was offered a better deal with a tour of china so pulled out of a few dates here in the UK.
If I was him I would have found the decision a hard one to……………….I bloody LOVE Chinese food!
We were very lucky to get former TNA star Doug Williams and he will now be Main Eventing against “Winner” PJ Jones which once we really thought about it and re-watched some old Doug matches we realized that we really should have went to Dog Williams first because this really has “classic” written all over it!
Then it hit us again, Right now in the wrestling world things are a little up in the air with the future of TNA a unknown and WWE/NXT getting talent from everywhere, We need to make stars out of the talent we have in the UK as we shouldn’t have to rely on USA and other countries.
Doug Williams is a UK Legend! who has been to TNA and done what had to be done and is now back doing what he loves where he loves. there are others like him another name is Joel Redman, a man from the south-west who went the WWE-NXT and become the first ever NXT Tag Team Champion with current WWE star Neville. there is TNA Boot camp finalists Dave Mastiff, Marty Scrull, Rampage Brown to name a few, these are all people who are the best in the UK and I honest feel talent like The Magnums, PJ Jones, UK Dominator, Chris Andrews to name a few are people who deserve to be on that list and one day will be.
So Yes it might be a novelty to have a “name” from the states or TV be a “one-off” but its the British talent that will be here day-in, day-out and be the ones carrying UK Wrestling into the future.
So with that said Cornish Pro Wrestling has decided that we will focus on UK Talent and the stars of the future. because they deserve it and they are just as good as ANY “name” from around the world.
On July 26th 2015 from Wadebridge School hall in Cornwall, Cornish Pro Wrestling arrives and makes a statement, We promise to give Cornwall a great evening of Wrestling with the Best the UK has to offer and we will keep doing so with every show we put on.
We are CPW and here we come!
So it has begun, the start of the media rounds.
Growing up I always wanted to be famous I would make silly home movies with friends, Small indy films like “Clerks” and inspired by shows like “Spaced” thinking “This will be the thing to make me a name” in a word …….
never happened.
Now skip a good 10 years or so and here I am now living the “dream” so to speak with in my second love, Pro-Wrestling (My family being my first)
I never in a million years dreamed I would be part of the “Business” let alone starting the ball rolling with my very own Promotion so its been very surreal to be on not 1 but so far 3 radio stations in my county promoting the July 26th show from Wadebridge and the August 30th show from St Austell.
I love talking to the Media and knowing there is hundreds of people listening to me (even if they don’t want to) and I also love standing in that ring talking to all the paying fans in person.
We have been invited back on all 3 stations to promote again and hope to have a working relationship whith them in future to build the Cornish Pro Wrestling brand into something truly for the people of Cornwall and give CPW its own identity.
So thanks to CHBN Radio in Truro, Radio St Austell Bay and Penwith Radio.
PWA:Cornwall is no more 😦 well I say no more but what I really mean is its changing to CPW or Cornish Pro Wrestling.
Things have happened behind the scenes with in PWA:UK that I am unable to talk about at the moment.
I have not pissed anyone off or stepped on peoples toes,
Just things are changing behind the scenes in Plymouth meaning I may not be needed as MC but we will see.
Anyway CPW has been born and our first show is still the Huge Wadebridge event on July 26th, also we have already added onto our brand new Facebook page another event which will take place in St Austell on 30th of August.
Also we have had a email back from a radio station working out dates to do a interview and it looks like it will be on at breakfast time meaning far more listeners! so very happy with that we can plug our July show and also the St Austell one at the same time (kill to birds with one stone)
If you want us to come to your town let us know, we are already looking at Newquay and Truro, Bodmin
So as you can see its all change but all (we hope) for the better
On wards and Upwards
Things have all changing here at the moment but not in a bad way but in a exciting way, If not a little scary for us behind the scenes, we do have some good and bad news though.
We can not go in to details however the show is still all a go and is shaping up to be a real “Moment” in wrestling history here in Cornwall.
First the Bad news: TNA Star Gunner due to unforeseen circumstances will NOT be appearing at the show, we really are sorry to all those that had bought tickets just to see him in action, we promise we WILL get him to appear at a later date.
Now the Good news: Instead of Gunner we have booked former WWE Superstar CARLITO! for those that might need a reminder he “spits in the face of people who don’t want to be cool!” he is a former Intercontinental Champion (beating Shelton Benjamin) A former United States Champion (beating John Cena on his debate match) and a former 2x Tag Team Champion.
So The new main event will be John Harding vs Carlito AND just because he was shouting his mouth off lets make it a triple threat and have “The Winner” PJ Jones in the mix too!
So we hope to still see everyone there at Wadebridge School on July 26th for what will be a action packed night of fun and excitement for the whole family.
his cool you know.
Sorry to everyone that we have not updated lately, lots going on behind the scenes.
Our main event is shaping up well with TNA Star Gunner taking on John Harding, PJ Jones doesn’t seem to like that idea and wants himself to be in Johns place so wondering what we should do about that.
Who will face Chris Andrews????
If anyone is wondering why the Official PWA:UK facebook page has not been updated nor the PWA:Cornwall event page its because at the moment the “boss” has taken me off admin duties while he sorts somethings out, Do not worry I am still the one running the July 26th Show.
We have got the go a head with 2 radio stations in cornwall for interviews etc and even and I am really not joking BBC are interested and we are just working stuff out.
Now if IF BBC do do something it will be something on Spotlight news or on BBC Radio Cornwall. I can confirm I am NOT in the running to take over Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear……………I don’t Drive DAMN IT!
Exciting news: we hope to bring you a Lucha Libra match on the show with 2 masked wrestlers (more info soon)
We can Confirm that REAPER will be in action against “Dancing Daddy” Bainsley.
See you all at Wadebridge School, July 26th
**SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT**
.”The Modern Day Viking” GUNNER! will be appearing LIVE at Wadebridge on July 26th.
Come be part of the Wrestling Fun.
So today I am happy to confirm another HUGE talent from the South-west and one of the fastest raising stars in the UK to appear on the show one Chris “The Shark” Andrews!
If you have seen him wrestle you will understand why I am over the moon to have him booked, If you have not then 1 have you been under a rock? and 2 you are going to be in for a treat in July!
I Had someone ask me the other day “who is the boss?”
So thought I would clear things up a little, Plymouth Wrestling Alliance is owned and run by John Harding and everything in PWA:UK is overseen by him
I am the MC of the shows, the man who tells you who everyone is and is kind of the voice of the company, “The Wrestling Superfan” Terry Speller.
behind the scenes I kinda act (sometimes) as a sounding board for the bosses ideas and sometimes I have been lucky enough to have some say as to who is good and who in my opinion is ready for a chance, I also help with publicity and spreading the word.
Fans also seem to feel like they can speak to me and when they do I do voice what they say and feel to the boss as in my opinion the fans are whats most important.
With PWA:Cornwall however It is myself and my wife (the official PWA Photographer) who are running things it is us who are doing all the promoting, publicity, poster/ticket designs, getting the talent and getting the venue etc.
The owner of PWA:UK gets his say but ultimately its down to me, if this show sinks its all on me if it flys I can hold my head high and be proud I did it and it would also be my way of saying “thank you” to PWA:UK for letting e live this dream.
Am I the boss? Nope but I guess im the GM of PWA:Cornwall.
Well this is most likely the hardest and most important thing to do when putting together a show.
I Live in Wadebridge, only moved here in December but already love it here, so here is where our first show will be 🙂
There are a few good halls here, but which one to book???
Things I need to think about, Size? do they have chairs? cost? are they allowed to hold a sports event?
All these I thought were ticked with the first hall I found and even got the ball rolling in hiring it until my wife turned round and said “If your going to do this and want to make a impact right away, why not get a Import over?”
“What a great idea” I said, So I contacted a very good friend of mine who is a agent to a few TNA Impact stars and is able to get hold of most people in the business in America.
After catching up and sorting out a few names and contacting them things were set in motion and I was getting excited until it dawned on me……I NEED A BIGGER HALL!!!!!!
The first I had got was perfect for a small show which i HAD planned but now it seemed to small so the hunt was on for a bigger venue right away I contacted the local leisure center all seemed perfect until a big problem occurred, They do not have any chairs!
So I looked into the cost of chair hire £400+ was the standard quotes which im sorry to say is a little over my budget!
I went to the local school in the hopes of hiring there chairs then when i was waiting to speak to someone I looked into the school hall it was big and had a stage and I had a flash back to a promotion I used to watch called DCW which always ran from a school hall, I remember always thinking those halls are perfect and the atmosphere they can create is so much fun, so when the nice person at the school turned up I said “Can I use your hall?”
So now I have a venue Wadebridge School Hall and A date July 26th
OH HELL YEAH!
