Three of PROGRESS wrestlings very best.\u00a0 WWE UK champion won’t be making too many appearances during the Mania weekend.\u00a0 This could be your only chance to see The Bruiserweight in action.\u00a0 Andrews has been making more and more\u00a0205 Live\u00a0<\/strong>appearances.\u00a0 The PROGRESS original has been in a hot grudge feud with\u00a0Eddie Dennis\u00a0<\/strong>and is increasingly harder to see wrestle on the indies.\u00a0 Final competitor Webster is coming off an agonizing loss to\u00a0Travis\u00a0<\/strong>Banks.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>A promising talent that is sure to follow in the steps of his opponents and become\u00a0PROGRESS World Champion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Predictions:\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Pete Dunne to win<\/em><\/p>\n

Match 2:\u00a0<\/strong>Ringkampf (WALTER & Timothy Thatcher) vs Sexy Starr (David Starr & Jack Sexsmith)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It is always nice to see Ringkampf together.\u00a0 The two big hitters are so entertaining with Thatcher’s mat ability mixed with WALTER’s pure brutality.\u00a0 They take on everyone’s favourite pun Sexy Starr.\u00a0 The lovely David Starr teams with the Pansexual Phenomenon Jack Sexsmith.\u00a0 One team sums up goliath\u00a0perfectly.\u00a0 And the other is literally David.\u00a0 Tag wrestling art it’s finest right here.<\/p>\n

Predictions:\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Ringkampf to win\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Match 3: Jinny & Mercedes Martinez vs Shazza McKenzie & Toni Storm<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Jinny makes her on ring return from her hand\u00a0injury.\u00a0 Despite being injured she has been the central point of the division.\u00a0 Her House of Couture stable has the strength in numbers\u00a0and is full of talent.\u00a0 Here she teams\u00a0with debutant and\u00a0Mae Young Classic\u00a0<\/strong>competitor Mercedes Martinez.\u00a0 Martinex has long been a cult legend in the US as one of the best female wrestlers in the scene.\u00a0 Their opponents both hail from the talent breeding ground of Australia\/New Zealand.\u00a0 Australia has been producing some of the best women’s wrestlers in the world for a few years now.\u00a0 \u00a0 Storm has been the only women’s champion PROGRESS has ever known and her reign has seen the division grow and prosper.\u00a0 Mckenzie is another extremely talented wrestler that will aim to make the most of the opportunity here.<\/p>\n

Predictions:\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Toni Storm & Shazza McKenzie<\/em><\/p>\n

Match 4: Will Ospreay vs Mark Haskins<\/strong><\/h3>\n

What needs to be said about this match?\u00a0 In the eyes of many Ospreay is one of the top 10 workers in the world right now.\u00a0 Haskins is one of PROGRESS’ best pure wrestlers.\u00a0 The technical aspects alone will make this match must see.\u00a0 Add to that the fact neither man is afraid to put their body on the line and this one could be an instant classic.<\/p>\n

Predictions:\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Mark Haskins to win<\/em><\/p>\n

Match 5: Matt Riddle vs Jimmy Havoc<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Two brutal wrestlers square off.\u00a0 The deathmatch specialist Havoc knows far too many ways to hurt an opponent.\u00a0 And he is not afraid to utilize each and every one of them.\u00a0 The former MMA fighter Riddle is just as brutal in a very different way.\u00a0 He isn’t afraid to kick your head off or cave your chest in with a chop.\u00a0 Two men very closely associated to the history of the championship they once held.\u00a0 ATLAS division ace Riddle vs lingest reigning PROGRESS world champion in history Jimmy Havoc.<\/p>\n

Predictions:\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Jimmy Havoc to win<\/em><\/p>\n

Match 6: PROGRESS World Tag Team Championship Match: Grizzled Young Vets (James Drake & Zack Gibson) (c)\u00a0vs Moustache Mountain (Tyler Bate & Trent Seven)<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"\"

The two very best tag teams in PROGRESS meet once again.\u00a0 GYV have held down the tag division for months.\u00a0 The partnership of two very hated men has worked wonders for both men.\u00a0 They take on former champions and a team always in the title hunt Moustache Mountain.\u00a0 The added stipulation makes this one very interesting.\u00a0 If Moustache Mountain loses, they cannot challenge for the belts for 6 months.\u00a0 The GYV would love to eliminate another threat to their titles and cement their current reign.\u00a0 Moustache Mountain are the more experienced team and easily the UK’s best tag team.\u00a0 The grudge feud comes to a head in the US<\/p>\n

Predictions:\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Moustache Mountain to win<\/em><\/p>\n

Match 7: PROGRESS World Championship Match: Travis Banks (c) vs Shane Strickland<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Another belt collector Strickland comes after PROGRESS’ most prestigious title.\u00a0 Banks has fully become the\u00a0Roman Reigns\u00a0<\/strong>of PROGRESS.\u00a0 After his controversial “victory” at Chapter 65 the fans have fully turned on him.\u00a0 The “King Of Swerve” is the kind of guy that would love to shock everyone and take Banks’ title away.\u00a0 The styles of these two clash very well.\u00a0 Both use a higher paced very athletic style.\u00a0 Whatever the outcome this is a fresh challenger for Banks and one who will bring out his best.<\/p>\n

Predictions:\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Travis Banks to win and retain<\/em><\/p>\n

Match 8: Thunderbastard: Austin Theory vs Joey Janela vs Jeff Cobb vs Rickey Shane Page vs Chris Brookes vs Darby Allin vs MJF vs Parrow<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"\"

The first ever Thunderbastard outside of UK soil.\u00a0 The match is packed with some of the best\u00a0EVOLVE\u00a0<\/strong>names.\u00a0 The thunderbastard match is an elimination match where we have a new entrant every 2 minutes.\u00a0 Pinfalls occur by pinfall and submission, in the past this match has been used to set up feuds and further rivalries.\u00a0 Theory wrestled at PROGRESS Boston in a very underrated four way match.\u00a0 The young star has the potential to be a big star wherever he chooses.\u00a0 Janela is infamous for being one of the craziest men in wrestling,\u00a0 “Mr. Athletic” Jeff Cobb is going to be in his element throwing his opponents all around the ring.\u00a0 The only PROGRESS regular Chris\u00a0Brookes is a good shout to win for a future\u00a0CCK\u00a0<\/strong>tag title match, or to kickstart CCK vs\u00a0South Pacific Power Trip\u00a0<\/strong>for the PROGRESS title.\u00a0\u00a0RSP is one of\u00a0CZW<\/strong>‘s biggest fan favourites.\u00a0 He can mix it up in a deathmatch or in a more “normal” match if needed.\u00a0 Allin is going to jump off something as he really lives up to the mantle of a daredevil.\u00a0 Maxwell Jacob Friedman at 22 is the future of wrestling.\u00a0 He garners a hatred from crowds that only Zack Gibson could hope to match.\u00a0 Final entrant is Team 3D\u00a0<\/strong>trainee Parrow.\u00a0 If you were to build a wrestler from the ground up, they would look like Parrow.\u00a0 He sums himself up best on Twitter “I’m just really F’N creative with violence”.\u00a0 Parrow gained some mainstream attention for coming out as gay,\u00a0 but he wants nothing to do with stereotypes and just is who he is.\u00a0 And he is a strong man that has any opponent quaking in their boots.\u00a0 The names in this match should have any fan excited about the chaos that will be unleashed when these men step into the thunderbastard.<\/p>\n

Predictions:\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Chris Brookes to win<\/em><\/p>\n

That is the first of two PROGRESS shows.\u00a0 The next show depends on results from this show so PROGRESS have yet to announce more than three matches for Chapter 67 yet.\u00a0 The main match of Chapter 67 is WALTER vs\u00a0Zack Sabre Junior\u00a0<\/strong>in a number one contenders match.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
