AVALANCHE LEADS THE SUMMER INVASION
SUMMER 2013 will see All Star Wrestling parading their biggest squad of overseas talent for a number of years with the American Avalanche P.N.Neuz (pictured above. left) leading the challenge. The 20 year ring veteran, originally from Nebraska and later wrestling out of Minneapolis, Minnesota, first came to the fore on this side of the Atlantic when campaigning as Cannonball Grizzly, a name by which he is still known in Germany and other Continental countries. No one is more delighted to welcome the Avalanche than Pittsburgh-born battler Sam Adonis (above right), who continues causing major mayhem during his extended stay in British rings. Still only 24, Adonis took the wrestling plunge encouraged by elder brother, the renowned globetrotter Sterling J.Keenan, and proudly climbs into the ring with the strains of 'Born in the USA' ringing around the arena. Back for a second successive UK summer stint is self-styled 'Handsome Hate Machine' Steven J.Walters, the 204lbs. hard-hitter from North Carolina who gained a thorough wrestling grounding from former WCW battler Lodi and ex-WWE ace Edge before making his own impressive debut more than eight years ago. British crowds are also being treated to 2013 sightings of two more contrasting contenders, Skyler and Chicago's Pedro Jimenez who has a very indiividualistic approach as CorVus. Sykler, a South Carolina native has been wrestling five years. Trained like Steven Walters by Lodi, he received try-outs with TNA Impact Wrestling and WWE during 2012 and uses the 'Sliced Bread Number 2,' a move he calls the 'Spoiler Alert.' CorVus, currently wrestling from a base in Stuttgart, Germany, says his ring persona can be described as a male version of Lady Gaga! Since coming to Europe he has been training with both Nigel McGuiness and the 'American Dragon' Bryan Danielson and is out to maintain career progress in Britain.
MORE THREATS FROM EUROPE & JAPAN
EUROPE and Japan will also be represented in the coming weeks with a four-strong threat from across the English Channel headed by France-based international combat specialist Heddi Karaoui (above far left) who reached the final of the 'King of the Ring' event at Croydon back in May, eleminating high profile rival El Ligero on the way. Switzerland's 'Space Cowboy' Damon Brix (centre left) is no stranger to UK action from previous tours, as is many times European tournament winner Michael Kovacs. Maximillion, standing an impressive six-foot-two is here for the first time but looks to quickly make an impression. He comes from Graz in Austria, home city of former European wrestling legend Otto Wanz, and is into his fifth year as a professional. After thrilling Japanese crowds with fast paced aerial assaults since a professiona ring debut during October 2005, fireball of excitement Kenbai (above, far right) has now hit Europe. The 27 year old high-flying sensation, trained by the legendary Japanese globetrotter Dick Togo, is recognised as one of the hardest working independent wrestlers in Japan, having won multiple championships and trophies in Michinoku Pro Wrestling and also the Kaientai Dojo and is currently reigning UWA World Middleweight Champion. Taking his name and wrestling attire from the North-Eastern Japanese tradition ‘Oni Kenbai’, meaning ‘Devil Sword Dance,' his demon mask and painful top rope double foot stomp and diving forearm smash finishers look set to impress during this first UK tour.
'LION' AARON BOOSTS SKEGNESS EVENT
HEADLINING All Star Wrestling's next big event at the Embassy Centre, Skegness, on Thursday June 20, will be a 'Skegness Street Fight' between UK Hooligans Roy and Zak Knight (pictured above, far left)and the formidable combination of Rampage Brown-Robbie Dynamite. This is a re-match from the explosive Embassy clash on April 13 with the June line-up, starting at 7pm, also bringing a welcome local appearance for Skegness-born action star Aaron 'The Lion' Sharpe (centre left) who recently hit the high spots taking the WAW middleweight crown off Norway's Aaron Frost. Also making a welcome return to the Embassy ring will be Superslam title holder 'Xtreme' Dean Allmark. Tickets are now on sale at the Embassy Centre Box Office (telephone 0845-6740505).
CONGRATULATIONS to Sean Morel after the 18 year-old from Southport pipped Leicester teenager Jimmy Meadows to win the 2013 'Young Wrestler of the Year' title at Gravesend on the last day of May. Although giving away both weight and experience, Sean, a graduate of the Bebington Civic Centre-based All Star Wrestling School, pulled out all the stops to take the only fall required after 16 minutes of tremendous action that went down well with another impressive Woodville Hall crowd. The trophy was presented to Sean by the venue's general manager Martin Fair as seen in our picture centre right.
GOOD LUCK to Erin Angel, the Southampton-based ladies wrestling sizzler who has just started a six week tour to Canada where she hopes to make the same sort of impression as the highly regarded Britani Knight, now with the WWE. And, of course, Britani's mum, Sweet Sayara, continues to make her mark with Shimmer and was in the United States and Canada earlier in the year. And it will soon be goodbye to Robbie Brookside (above, far right) who is also North America bound, heading for Tampa, Florida, to begin a new role as a talent scout for WWE. Now into a third decade of wrestling after starting in his mid-teens, Robbie has enjoyed solo success as Superslam championship holder and hit the tag team high spots, first with Doc Dean in the original 'Liverpool Lads' pairing, and in more recent times partnered by Frankie Sloan.
