A battle of two uprising trainees as we have Mongrels vs Legit 100.\u00a0 The match was made after Fitz changed the event poster to include himself and not Murray.\u00a0 The aviator will battle a boxer with a stiff right hand in this battle of high flying versus striking.<\/p>\n

Match 2: Michael May vs Sean Guinness<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Two talents\u00a0who have trained with\u00a0Pro wrestling Zero-One<\/strong>.\u00a0 Guinness spent years in Japan wrestling for Zero-One and May spent time training there under Guinness.\u00a0 If there were two wrestlers in Ireland that personify Strong Style it is May and Guinness.\u00a0 This bout will be a technical epic that elevates into a bomb-throwing, hard-hitting contest.\u00a0 Something that both men excel at.<\/p>\n

Match 3: Jordan Devlin & Shane Strickland vs More Than Hype (LJ Cleary & Nathan Martin)\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Enemies turned partners\u00a0Devlin and Swerve team up to form a bit of a dream team.\u00a0 There are four ultra-talented men in this match.\u00a0 Devlin is the best wrestler in Ireland,\u00a0 LJ is the heir to that throne, Nathan Martin is fantastic for someone who has only been training for 2 years and Strickland is set to become a mainstay of the US Super indie scene having captured the EVOLVE Championship<\/strong>.\u00a0 This will quickly break down and we will see all four flying around the ring and hitting crazy tag team spots.<\/p>\n

Match 4: Scotty Davis vs Juice Robinson<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Originally a shooter contest between\u00a0Matt Riddle\u00a0<\/strong>and Davis but due to other commitments Riddle was replaced by Juice.\u00a0 Davis gets to step in the ring with a fantastic wrestler in Robinson who has been one of the most improved wrestlers of the last two years.\u00a0 Davis is a prodigy of Irish wrestling and is the future of the scene and he gets to take on a New Japan prospect that could be a big star in<\/p>\n

Match 5: Session Moth Martina, Katey Harvey & Toni Storm vs Raven Creed, Valkyrie & Debbie Keitel<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The present versus The Future.\u00a0 Martina and Harvey teaming is an unbelievable sight for most long-time OTT fans who are used to seeing the two battling it out.\u00a0 Toni Storm comes back to OTT for the first time in three years, she returns a very different woman than we last saw in Dublin.\u00a0 Since then she has become one of the biggest names in women’s wrestling on the independent scene.\u00a0 She was the\u00a0first ever PROGRESS Women’s Champion<\/strong> and captured the World of Stardom Championship<\/strong>.\u00a0 This dream team takes on the future of women’s wrestling in Ireland.\u00a0 Valkyrie\u00a0is the current Irish Junior Heavyweight Champion<\/strong>, Creed is the current (last?)\u00a0CCW Women’s Champion<\/strong> and Keitel has recently been training with\u00a0Emi Sakura\u00a0<\/strong>and touring with\u00a0Gatoh Move<\/strong>.\u00a0 Three of the current stars of the UK and Irish scene against three future stars in what should be a great match.<\/p>\n

Match 6: OTT No Limit Championship Match: Terry Thatcher (c) vs Darren Kearney<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Thatcher defending his title against young prospects will always be good.\u00a0 The 13-year veteran captured the NLW championship in the biggest moment of his career and now has to fend off the young hungry talents of the Contenders brand.\u00a0 Darren Kearney has been finding great success in 2018 ever since returning from his training from\u00a0Lance Storm’s<\/strong> training academy.\u00a0 The Irish tag team champion and future OTT tag champion could claim his first piece of singles gold but will have to overcome a talented veteran who is desperate to hold onto the title.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
