All Star Superslam Wrestling at the Empire Theatre, Sunderland - 09 Feb 2008 by Danny Gray
First up it was local boy Tony Spitfire going up against Robbie ‘the Body’ Dynamite. In what was an uncharacteristic high flying ASW match, Tony Spitfire came home with the win after a cross body block.
The next match saw the dreaded Iceman take on Lance Thunder. Iceman made his size advantage count and got the three after a spine-shuddering lariat.
The third match was a brilliant triple threat match. Phil Powers, Germany’s Bad Bones and the incredible American Dragon locked horns. Powers was eliminated first by Bad Bones who villainously used his German flag on Powers nether regions to snatch the pinfall. American Dragon though battled on and with the support of Powers at ringside picked up the victory with a gravity-defying splash.
The next match saw Gangrel take on Doug Williams. Gangrel was disqualified for continuous cheating and the match went to Williams.
The final match saw a Canada vs. England tag team match. Representing Canada was former two time WWE tag champion Rene Dupree teaming with former three time WWE tag champ Pierre LaFitte. They ran down the crowd, their opponents and British wrestling in general. Chris Bambi and Xtreme Dean though had heard enough and hit the ring, and their opponents, hard. After a solid match, the British team shocked the odds with the victory they’ll tell their Grandkids about.
