As promised on our Facebook page - www.facebook.com/pbwwrestling we can today announce all 6 wrestlers who will be entered into this years King Of Crusiers. Over the last 5 years KOC has became an annual showcase of the very best British and Irish cruiserweight wrestlers with past winners such as El Ligero, Bubblegum, Liam Thomson and just last year young Scottish starlet Stevie Xavier. It truely is a match where these athletes can showcase their speed and ability and as Noam Dar has proved it can be used as a huge stepping stone for any young Scottish wrestler determined to crack the European wrestling scene. It was King Of Crusiers 2009 where Dar entered a star making performance, one that caught the eye of many of Britains top promoters. Since that match Dar has gone on to become one of the highest regarded young talents in Europe if not the world today.

We are very excited about this years KOC match with 3 of the wrestlers making their first ever KOC appearance, not to mention a very special PBW homecoming. The 6 wrestlers that will battle it out in this years KOC matchup are as follows....

1 - STEVIE XAVIER - Last years winner Stevie Xavier returns to the Magnum Centre this year to defend his crown. Last year Xavier outlasted 5 other top athletes and even after injuring his arm near the end he was still able to climb to the top and deliver a stunning 360 splash on NOAH star Zack Sabre Jr to pickup the win. Xavier has promised us he is has been training harder than ever and is ready to become only the second ever wrestler to win KOC 2 years running.

2 - BUBBLEGUM - Thats right folks, one of the most popular PBW stars of all time make his return to Scotland. Bubblegum was with PBW from our very first show, from 2006 through to 2009 he was one of if not the most popular PBW star on the roster aswell as one of the most gifted performers ever to arrive in Scotland. Along with Brad Fusion he was crowned as one half of the first ever PBW tag team champions in Octonber 2006, he is also the only man in history to win KOC not once but twice outlasting 5 other men 2 years in a row when he took the trophy in 2008 and 2009. It wasnt long after his KOC 2009 victory that Bubblegum informed PBW management that he was taking time away from wrestling to spend more time with his newly born son. February 2010 saw Bubblegum pin Darkside and then an emotional roster empty onto the stage in Greenock to pay tribute to one of PBW's finest. It may have only took over 2 and a half years but this November, Bubblegum returns and looks to win the KOC trophy for an impressive third time.

3 - SEAN MAXER - Irish star Sean Maxer makes his first appearance in KOC this November after spending the summer competing in Japan alongside PBW star Joe Coffey for the highly acclaimed Zero 1 promotion. Maxer is easily regarded as one of the finest crusierweight stars in Ireland today having been trained by none other than NJPW star Prince Devitt and International star Paul Tracey. Maxers last appearance at PBW was at Breaking Limits 6 where he pinned Andy Wild in the opening match in a solid encounter. As Maxer looks to earn a regular spot on the PBW roster a win at Maximum Impact 2012 and more importantly winning KOC 2012 would be a sure fire way of doing just that.

4 - NOAM DAR - What else can you say about Noam Dar, he arrived into 2012 on fine form and has taken 2012 by the scruff of the neck and made it his. Breakout star really doesnt do the man justice as at only 19 years old he has well and truely arrived on the world scene. This year alone Dar has came up against the very best wrestlers in the world today such as AJ Styles, Davey Richards, Prince Devitt, Eddie Edwards, Sami Callihan in a number of different promotions up and down the country. He has been attracting attention from 'big companies' all over the world and we are thrilled to have him in KOC 2012. With Dar now a former PBW tag team champion, a King Of Crusiers victory has to be something he wants to add to his collection and he has all the tools to do so on November 3rd.

5 - SCOTT MAVERICK - Although still fairly new to the Scottish Wrestling scene. Scott Maverick has had a fantastic 12 month run which has seen him rewarded by being granted a spot on KOC 2012. In the past 12 months Maverick has became a regular on the Scottish scene, completed a full season on the holiday camp circuit for All Star Wrestling, competed across England for a number of promotions and even made his debut in Denmark for Danish Pro Wrestling. He has came up against top name such as US indie star Drew Gulluk, TNA star Doug Williams, top British stars such as Robbie Dynamite, Lionheart, Micky Whiplash and Mark Haskins. PBW owner and Academy trainer Ross Watson/Kid Fite recently said 'Maverick gave himself to wrestling, he was at training every week travelling to Glasgow from Ayr. He just absorbed everything like a sponge. I was impressed enough to have him out on the All Star summer run where again he impressed everyone involved. That is why I have rewarded him with a spot in this years KOC matchup as there is no better place to showcase his progress and the skills he has learned over the summer.' Every year it seems one PBW Academy student is given the chance to raise their game by being entered into KOC, Dar(2009) has since gone on to become one of the most in demand wrestlers in the country, Rampage(2010) as we write this he a current PBW tag team champion alongside Davey Blaze, Xavier(2011) last year saw wildcard Xavier outlast everyone and pull of one of the biggest upsets in Maximum Impact history by winning KOC 2011. This year Maverick has the chance to make his Impact and let Scottish wrestling know that he has arrived.

6 - MARTIN KIRBY - One half of Englands's top tag team today, Kirby has became one of the few English stars to travel north of the border for PBW on a semi regular basis. His cocky attitude and his believe that English wrestlers are far superior to their Scottish counterparts has angered both the roster and the PBW fans. Kirby though has done enough though to be entered in this years KOC matchup after a string of solid displays across England over the last 12 months including a spectacular match with International star El Generico in Newcastle last year. Kirby has sent a message to the PBW fans saying that he plans on winning the match and taking the trophy back to England, there will be no flips or fancy moves from him. He will do what is needed to be done to win on the night, simple as that.
