The roster for this fall’s Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport 2 continues to populate as we approach the September 14 date of the Game Changer Wrestling event. Three more talents were announced in the past week for the shoot-style wrestling event, including two more women joining the field.
Timothy Thatcher
Timothy Thatcher returns for his third Bloodsport appearance and will hopefully find his first win. At Matt Riddle’s Bloodsport in 2018, he lost to Nick Gage, and earlier this spring at the first Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport, he lost to Japanese veteran Hideki Suzuki. But just because he’s 0-2 at Bloodsport, doesn’t mean Thatcher remains one of the toughest men in the sport. He’s a veteran of Germany’s Westside Xtreme Wrestling (wXw), where he’s part of Ringkampf with WALTER and was EVOLVE Champion for 596 dominating days.
Sumie Sakai
The inaugural Ring of Honor Women of Honor World Champion, Sumie Sakai was the first women to compete for ROH back in 2002. Before moving to the US to pursue the US indies, she competed in her native Japan in the late 90s for Jd’ Star, All Japan Women’s Wrestling, Fuyuki Army, Michinoku Pro, and many more. Sakai is a legend amongst women’s wrestling, both in the US indies and Japan, and will be bringing her brand of strong style to Bloodsport.
Nicole Savoy
Nicole Savoy is the reigning SHIMMER Champion, a title she’s held for 648-days. A seven-year pro with SHIMMER, RISE, Queens of Combat, Bar Wrestling, and many more, in 2018 she had a successful tour with Stardom in Japan. She also took part in the inaugural WWE Mae Young Classic in 2017.
