All Star Wrestling

Near sell out

Deano Beat Chad Collyer
Mr Vain beat ?
James Mason beat Metal Master (Collyer) - MOTN.
Break time - Promptly bought my back stage pass to be the only 6ft 2, 25 year old without a child in tow asking wrestlers to take photos with him..... Of course the regular adults would inevitably look at me funny for asking to take the photos but hey I think I can live with it.
Robbie Brookside beat Renee Dupree - Close to being match of the night along with the opener.
Lightning Kid Adam Davies & Ben Levy beat TNT & ? This was a nice way to finish off the night as everyone likes a bit of tag action but wasn't quite on par with the singles matches.
All in all a great show and it always leaves me wanting a hell of a lot more ASW. Its such a shame they don't run the Cheltenham Town hall more regularly. Its a great venue and has great family atmosphere. They seem to only do two or three shows a year there, all over the Autumn and Winter months. I don't see why they don't take a little bit more advantage of the town, doing maybe one more show early in Summer.
Preview from the Gloucestershire Echo
Huge blokes knocking nine bells out of each other all in the name of entertainment. Technically, it's not that simple, but that's essentially what we're looking at.
Who is wrestling? Big men in small pants and other chaps wearing masks and covered in spikes - ouch.
The competition features former WWE stars Rene Dupree and Pierre Lafitte, the Cincinnati Kid Chad Collyer, Metal Machine and the Brooklyn Brawler Julio Torres.
The home squad is headed up by Liverpool's Robbie Brookside.
It's all fake isn't it? Well, it's not a competitive sport but it is great entertainment. Is there anything else going on? If muscle men aren?t your thing, the Superslammers dancing girls are opening the event. Is it suitable for all ages? Yes, it's billed as a two-hour family night out so the kids won't get too scared. Can I get tickets on the door? Amazingly, it's usually a sell-out so you might want to book in advance.
Review
The Cheltenham show was awesome. A great card and a hot damn near sell out crowd.... a great show up and down the card.
