American fans of UK’s leading indie promotion, PROGRESS Wrestling, were elated when the promotion announced plans for a coast to coast tour of the US earlier this year that would begin on August 4 in Philadelphia and conclude August 12 in Detroit. Up until very recently, while everyone had assumptions, no one was sure who exactly would be making the flight across the Atlantic Ocean to take part in PROGRESS’ largest US tour, but yesterday, PROGRESS revealed a little video to unveil the names of the US-bound squad.
Want to know who's on the US tour? See if you can spot some familiar faces as we pack our bags, slap on the sunscreen and set off on our 'Summer Holiday' (Turn your sound on btw).#CoastToCoasthttps://t.co/nGskxvUZvZ pic.twitter.com/LLHCCVNTyd
