Much like Game Changer Wrestling (GCW)<\/strong> has made Joey Janela’s Spring Break<\/strong><\/em> an annual tradition over WrestleMania Week, Iowa’s Wrestling Revolver<\/strong> has their own annual event that is one of the must-see\u00a0cards of the week, with the Saturday morning Pancakes & Piledrivers<\/strong><\/em> series. This year’s edition happens on Saturday once again, at 11am at the Hilton Midtown Ballroom, in association with Highspots Wrestling Network<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Six of the biggest and toughest men in the US indies face off in a 6-pack challenge “Hoss fight”! Jacob Fatu<\/strong>, the son of Samu<\/strong> and cousin of WWE’s Usos<\/strong>, is a savage in the ring and is currently leaving bodies on the floor as part of CONTRA<\/strong> in Major League Wrestling (MLW)<\/strong> and as part of Warbeast<\/strong> on the West Coast, where he’s the PCW ULTRA<\/strong> and DEFY<\/strong> Tag Team Champion with Josef Samael<\/strong>.\u00a0Dan Maff\u00a0<\/strong>is a 20-year veteran who’s a 2x Ring of Honor Tag Team Champion and longtime member of Da Hit Squad<\/strong> with Monsta Mack<\/strong>.\u00a0Ace Romero\u00a0<\/strong>is an immovable object in the ring and also a member of the MLW roster, while\u00a0Larry D\u00a0<\/strong>is a 17-year vet of the Ohio indies, as well as IWA Mid South<\/strong>.\u00a0Madman Fulton<\/strong>, formerly Sawyer Fulton in NXT, is the latest member of\u00a0oVe<\/strong> in IMPACT Wrestling<\/strong>, while fellow IMPACT roster member\u00a0Fallah Bahh\u00a0<\/strong>brings more girth to the battle.<\/p>\n

Chuck Mambo vs. Rich Swann<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Chuck Mambo was the winner of a Twitter fan vote to determine who would get to face Swann instead of\u00a0PAC<\/strong>, who sadly had to pull out over visa issues.\u00a0Mambo is someone that is finally set to break out in 2019 after a successful\u00a02018, which saw him enter\u00a0Super Strong Style 16\u00a0<\/strong>and bring the fight to eventual winner Zack Sabre Jr.\u00a0<\/strong>and also become the first ever\u00a0Riptide Brighton Champion<\/strong>.\u00a0 Mambo was always known as a fun-loving surfer dude with a fun entrance that UK fans enjoyed but he’s recently started shedding that image for someone that is sick of being overlooked which has led to him joining heel factions in\u00a0Breed Pro Wrestling<\/strong>, PROGRESS, and\u00a0ATTACK! Pro Wrestling<\/strong>.\u00a0Rich Swann\u00a0<\/strong>has rebounded incredibly since departing the WWE in early 2018, becoming a top star with MLW and IMPACT Wrestling, where he’s the reigning IMPACT X-Division Champion.<\/p>\n

AR Fox vs. JT Dunn vs. Ace Austin vs. Sammy Guevara<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A fatal four-way match, featuring four names familiar to fans of the US indies.\u00a0AR Fox\u00a0<\/strong>is a former EVOLVE Champion who gained national exposure as Dante Fox in\u00a0Lucha Underground<\/strong> and is one of the most complete packages out there.\u00a0JT Dunn\u00a0<\/strong>has been working the US indie circuit since 2009 and is a regular with Chaotic Wrestling, Beyond Wrestling<\/strong>, and many more. The Ring Magician\u00a0Ace Austin\u00a0<\/strong>is another Ohio prodigy who has become a recent signee with both MLW and IMPACT Wrestling, while Sammy Guevara<\/strong> is a former AAA World Cruiserweight Champion who recently signed with All Elite Wrestling (AEW)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Adam Brooks vs. Matt Cross<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Australia’s Adam Books<\/strong> is one of the top stars of the emerging Aussie indie scene, who made his US debut in 2017 with Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG)<\/strong>. A gifted and athletic competitor, Brooks is a 4x Melbourne City Wrestling (MCW)<\/strong> Intercommonwealth Champion who has excelled in the UK and Australia, and entered his first PWG Battle of Los Angeles<\/strong> <\/em>last year. He’s facing a 20 year veteran of the US indies in\u00a0Matt Cross<\/strong>, who has competed for just about everyone and everywhere, working indies in North America, Europe and Japan, including Lucha Underground, Smash Wrestling, Absolute Intense Wrestling (AIW)<\/strong> and many more.<\/p>\n

Rickey Shane Page vs. Tessa Blanchard<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Former IMPACT Knockouts Champion\u00a0Tessa Blanchard\u00a0<\/strong>is no stranger to intergender matchups – she had an absolute classic against\u00a0<\/a>Brian Cage\u00a0<\/strong>last year with\u00a0WrestleCircus<\/strong> – but on Saturday she’ll be facing a former CZW World Heavyweight Champion and deathmatch specialist in\u00a0Rickey Shane Page<\/strong>. Tessa will have to use every arsenal in her wheelhouse to take down RSP, but it’ll be a war none the less.<\/p>\n

Moose vs. David Starr vs. Brian Cage<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Speaking of Brian Cage, he’s entering a triple threat against another IMPACT star in “Mr. IMPACT”\u00a0Moose<\/strong> and recently crowned IPW World Heavyweight Champion<\/a>\u00a0David Starr<\/strong>. Starr has a size disadvantage against the likes of Cage and Moose, but he’s been in hardcore matches before and regularly competes in Germany’s rough\u00a0Westside Xtreme Wrestling (wXw)\u00a0<\/strong>where he’s battled the likes of\u00a0WALTER\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Timothy Thatcher.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wrestling Revolver Tag Team Championship, Gauntlet Match: The Rascalz (Dezmond Xavier & Zachary Wentz) (c) vs. Lucha Brothers (Pentagon Jr. & Fenix) vs. LAX (Santana & Ortiz) vs. Aussie Open (Kyle Fletcher & Mark Davis) vs. The Besties In The World (Davey Vega & Matt Fitchett) vs. Team Tremendous (Dan Barry & Bill Carr)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Wrestling Revolver tag team titles are on the line in a gauntlet match, as champions Dezmond Xavier & Zachary Wentz<\/strong> of the Rascalz<\/strong> put their gold on the line against five very capable tag teams. Team Tremendous<\/strong>‘ Dan Barry & Bill Carr<\/strong> have wrestled around the US and UK for the past few years and are ready for a big win.\u00a0Aussie Open\u00a0<\/strong>have dominated the UK indie scene the past few years, as 2x Defiant<\/strong> Tag Team Champions, 2x (and reigning) ATTACK! Tag Team Champions, plus reigns with PROGRESS, HOPE<\/strong> and wXw, where they also currently hold the gold.\u00a0The Besties In The World\u00a0<\/strong>are arguably the most underrated tag team in the US (and maybe the world), holding tag titles right now in the US (Glory Pro<\/strong>) and the UK (Fight Club: PRO<\/strong>), as well as former champs in All American Wrestling (AAW) and 2x Wrestling Revolver champions. The last two teams have been warring in IMPACT for the past six months, and both\u00a0The Lucha Brothers\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0LAX\u00a0<\/strong>would love to add even more gold to their overflowing trophy cases.<\/p>\n

OvE (Sami Callihan, Dave & Jake Crist) vs. The Unwanted (Shane Strickland, Joe Gacy & Eddie Kingston)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

IMPACT Wrestling’s top faction, oVe, unites as a trio as\u00a0Sami Callihan, Dave Crist\u00a0<\/strong>and Jake Crist<\/strong> go head to head with EVOLVE’s top stable,\u00a0The Unwanted<\/strong>, led by\u00a0Shane Strickland<\/strong>, along with\u00a0Eddie Kingston\u00a0<\/strong>and Joe Gacy<\/strong>, the current EVOLVE Tag Team Champions. This match is being billed as Strickland’s last indie match before he heads to new pastures, so expect something special from “Swerve” as he says goodbye to a locker room of friends and family.<\/p>\n
