As April arrives let us take time to look back at March in what was another milestone month for PBW. To celebrate the 3 year anniversary of PBW it was decided that we would run our first ever show in England along with one of our regular Scottish venues the very next night. On Friday 27th March 2009 PBW arrived in the Lakes Court Hotel in Carlisle for our first ever show in England and with just under 100 fans in attendance we got underway. Full results from the event were as follows -
Scott Renwick defeated T.J.Rage
The Highlander defeated Andy Wild
Falcon defeated Shady Nattrass
Wolfgang defeated Rob Cage
Justin Thorn & Alex Jett defeated The Nattrass Boyz
PBW Heavyweight Title Match: Lionheart defeated Red Lightning to retain
Premier British Wrestling managment were pleased with how the show went, with Rob Cage in particular really raising his game taking former PBW Champion Wolfgang to the Limits. Back to more familiar territory the next night as PBW returned to Dumbarton Burgh Hall for only the second time. With attendance up by over 20% from our previous visit last year it was going to be a good night. A night that saw no less than 3 PBW stars return after having time away as Brad Fusion, Carmel and 'Bad Boy' Liam Thomson all made the presence felt in Dumbarton. Results from the show were -
PBW Tag Team Championship Match: High Energy defeated Raging Storm to retain
Brad Fusion defeated Chris Rampage
Darkside (with Charles Boddington) defeated The Highlander
Wolfgang defeated Mike Musso
Justin Thorn & Sara defeated Nikki Storm & Jamie Feerick (with an assist from Carmel)
PBW Heavyweight Title Match: Lionheart defeated Liam Thomson to retain
Plans are allready underway to see PBW return to the Burgh Hall in September of this year. Pictures from this event can be viewed at the PBW bebo page on www.bebo.com/pbwwrestlinguk.
