This opener features a TV star from\u00a0World Of Sport\u00a0<\/strong>sharing a ring with two very different Irish Wrestlers as you have the veteran Phil Boyd<\/strong> and the young up and comer Nathan Byrne<\/strong>. Scotland’s\u00a0BT Gunn<\/strong>, a 3x Insane Championship Wrestling (ICW)<\/strong> World Heavyweight Champion, was very impressive on WOS, as his team with\u00a0Stevie Boy\u00a0<\/strong>was a real highlight with the energy and ability the two showed.\u00a0 Phil Boyd is always dangerous as he has the smallest package in wrestling and at any time he could roll you up and get the three count.\u00a0 Nathan Byrne is not to be counted out either, he is the standout performer for\u00a0Pro Wrestling Ulster (PWU)\u00a0<\/strong>and is one of the best in ring wrestlers on the PWU roster.\u00a0 A three-way\u00a0with three different performers that is sure to deliver<\/p>\n

Match 2: Club Rock Shandy (Martin Steers & Clong) & Dmitri Krakovic vs Nightmare Edition (JDP & Tron) & Luther Valentine<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Dublin vs Belfast, Fight Factory<\/strong> vs PWU.\u00a0 A stacked six man match with two very different teams.\u00a0 Club Rock Shandy<\/strong> are two guys who have more heart than sense and a love for Club Rock Shandy that gives them the necessary boost to try their best.\u00a0 Their teammate is the gravity-defying Dmitri Krakovic<\/strong> who, like Clong, likes to spend more time in the air than on the ground.\u00a0 They face a dominant team of a 7 foot monster and a bear.\u00a0 JDP<\/strong> and Tron<\/strong> are the PWU Tag team champions and have recently come to Fight Factory to cause chaos and destroy everything in their path.\u00a0 They team with Luther Valentine,<\/strong> who recently won the Culture Night title.\u00a0 Club Rock Shandy and the Nightmare Edition<\/strong> actually renew a rivalry that has already seen the two teams go to war to the point that they BROKE THE RING and now we add in Luther and Dmitri for even more chaos<\/p>\n

Match 3: Jazzy Gabert vs Kasey Owens vs Jetta vs Laura Di Matteo<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A loaded fatal four-way match featuring some awesome women.\u00a0 Jazzy Gabert<\/strong> is the instant favorite, as she is a real freak of a human with unmatched power.\u00a0 Gabert knows how to use this\u00a0power to gain success as she is a former\u00a0World Of Stardom\u00a0<\/strong>champion.\u00a0 Kasey Owens<\/strong> is a former 2x ICW Women’s champion and has become one of the central figures of that division now that Kay Lee Ray<\/strong> and Viper<\/strong> aren’t full time with ICW.\u00a0 Jetta<\/strong> is a legend of the British\u00a0scene who recently made her Over The Top (OTT) Wrestling<\/strong> debut, as she took on Emi Sakura<\/strong> and Katey Harvey<\/strong>.\u00a0 The Irish\u00a0audience will definitely be familiar with the trash talking queen.\u00a0 The final participant is a pivotal member of the\u00a0PROGRESS\u00a0<\/strong>women’s division. Laura Di Matteo<\/strong>‘s feud with\u00a0Jinny\u00a0<\/strong>was one of the marquee women’s feuds in PROGRESS and kept them in the fan’s eyes before the division was fully established.<\/p>\n

Match 4: Chris Ridgeway vs Tucker<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A clash of styles as WWE NXT UK star Tucker<\/strong> takes on “Hard as F*ck” Chris Ridgeway<\/strong>.\u00a0 Ridgeway is a shoot style fighter who has been gaining some name value in 2018, having reached the final of\u00a0PROGRESS Wrestling<\/strong>‘s Natural Progression Series<\/strong><\/em> and then capturing\u00a0International Pro Wrestling: UK (IPW)<\/strong>‘s International Super 8<\/strong><\/em>, a tournament previously won by\u00a0Zack Sabre Junior.\u00a0<\/strong> Tucker has become Northern Ireland’s biggest star since competing in the first WWE UK tournament.\u00a0 He is one of the cleanest high fliers in Europe as he can make the most\u00a0complicated moves look easy when he gets rolling.\u00a0 A striker vs a flier as two stars clash<\/p>\n

Match 5: Rhia O’Reilly vs Charlie Morgan<\/strong><\/h3>\n

“Fighting Irish” Rhia O’Reilly<\/strong> comes back home to compete in Dublin for Courage.\u00a0 O’Reilly has become a cult favourite in leading women’s promotion Pro Wrestling: EVE<\/strong> <\/a>with her no-nonsense hard-hitting fighting style matching well with her personality to make her a very charismatic figure.\u00a0 Her opponent is one of the UK’s hottest prospects.\u00a0 “The Ace of EVE” Charlie Morgan<\/strong> main evented the biggest women’s wrestling show in European history, has competed in WWE NXT UK, and been a part of the PROGRESS women’s division as part of the House of Couture<\/strong>.\u00a0 Two big names in women’s wrestling clash as a brawler faces a daredevil in a match that is sure to steal the show.<\/p>\n

Match 6: Paul London vs TK Cooper<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Paul London<\/strong> wrestles in Ireland for the first time since 2006 as the former WWE star comes to Courage Wrestling.\u00a0 In his prime, London alongside Brian Kendrick<\/strong> wowed audiences with their aerial displays.\u00a0 London needs no introduction to any independent wrestling fan.\u00a0 TK Coope<\/strong>r was the first name announced for Courage and helped them announce themselves with a bang.\u00a0 The former South Pacific Power Trip<\/strong> member was at one point the hottest commodity in the UK, as his team with\u00a0Travis Banks\u00a0<\/strong>earned the two a reputation as the best team in the UK.\u00a0 Now more of a singles wrestler, Cooper has transitioned well into being on his own as he is still a risk taker that can inflict damage on his opponents from any position.<\/p>\n
