The hot business continues with All Star Promotions, which has had a string of sell-out and near-capacity crowds in recent weeks. The biggest crowd was 1,800 for a Liverpool show where hometown hero Rob Brookside regained the promotion’s heavyweight title from Broady Steele. They have also had attendances of 1,000 or more in Sunderland and Southend. The group is now planning to continue arena events throughout the summer rather than taking the usual summer break to concentrate on sold shows at holiday camps.***
1PW fans have a full day to look forward to on 19 April. The group is presenting a 90 minute Q&A session with the Iron Sheik, a ‘Fight Club Reloaded’ matinee show featuring all-British talent, and the main ‘Know Your Enemy’ show in the evening with imports Davey Richards, Roderick Strong, Tracey Smothers, Sandman, Rene Dupree and AJ Styles, plus a main event pitting the group’s champion Sterling James Keenan against the winner of this weekend’s Martin Stone-Darren Burridge match. The show also features the intriguing promise of Mad Man Manson interviewing the Iron Sheik. All the day’s events take place at the Doncaster Dome.
