PRESS RELEASE: 12 SEPT 2016
NORTH Wrestling //NCL.2/THEY WILL MARCH ON
INDEPENDENT wrestling has gained a large following in recent years, with events packing venues
across the UK and hundreds of North East fans attending live events around the region. The 160-
strong grapple fans in attendance at NORTH Wrestling’s debut show //NCL.1/BRACE YOURSELF
proved this.
NORTH Wrestling is following the example set by successful UK Wrestling promotions like Progress,
ICW and RevPro. NORTH invited popular wrestler ‘The Extraordinary Gentleman’ Jack Gallagher to
their first show. In the weeks since, Jack signed a contract with WWE and will appear on their flagship
show. British Wrestling is quickly establishing itself as the breeding ground for the global superstars of
tomorrow.
THEY WILL MARCH ON will showcase the best UK talent again. JIMMY HAVOC is a man that all British
Wrestling fans should know. His bloody and drawn out battle to win the Progress Wrestling
Championship defined a new generation of British Wrestling. However, an ill-timed ACL knee injury
sustained this year put Jimmy’s burgeoning TNA career on the shelf. But, NORTH Wrestling have
signed Jimmy for one of his first matches back in the spotlight. An unmissable war against Newcastle’s
own pro-wrestling Gorilla, JASON PRIME, awaits. After a Semi-Final appearance at PWG’s Battle of Los
Angeles (the highlight of the independent wrestling calendar), MARK HASKINS was lauded by Pro-
Wrestling journalist extraordinaire, Dave Meltzer, as the “most underrated wrestler in independent
wrestling”. His opponent HT DRAKE brawled into the crowd against Liam Thomson last time out.
NORTH’s first female competitor is billed to appear, in the form of Progress Wrestling Dojo graduate
JINNY. The Kensington-based Fashionista is to offer an open challenge (and some fashion advice) to
the women of Newcastle.
The PASTOR WILLIAM EAVER’S inclusion on the card has caught the eye of the sinful RORY COYLE. Will
Rory repent and allow his soul to be cleansed by the former Progress Wrestling Champion, or will he
and Bàs Bàn (the SONS OF ULAID) continue on their path of depravity? Birmingham’s DAMIAN DUNNE
will return, but this time with his pal and purveyor of Hardcore CLINT MARGERA. We will also see the
Class Apart ALEXANDER HENRY, the Vengabus-riding LIAM SLATER, the ‘Hot Blooded Male’ DOM
BLACK and many more.
After the success of their debut show, promoter Andrew Bowers is delighted to be able to continue
establishing NORTH Wrestling on the UK scene. “I was blown away by the amount of people we
brought into the Riverside.” Andrew said. “There was plenty of doubters before the show, but we all
showed that there are plenty of Wrestling fans, new and old, in the North East.”
“I’ve always said, at NORTH Wrestling, we’re just putting on shows that we’d like to see ourselves.
There’s no ulterior motive – we love wrestling. We’ve had a great initial reaction, and we want to
keep trying to impress and entertain. Just come along with your mates, get drunk and shout at
wrestlers on a Saturday night, in the center of town… what’s not to enjoy?”
If //NCL.2/THEY WILL MARCH ON is anything like the first edition of NORTH Wrestling, then you can
expect to see some hard-hitting, high octane action, where anything can happen. Will an Irish
psychopath lick the face of an internet celebrity again? Maybe another high flying, risk defying
wrestler will land on top of another unsuspecting member of the audience (note – no punters were

harmed in the making of this show!). Or maybe, like many other people in attendance, you’ll be
converted to the raucous, theatrically immersive experience that is NORTH Wrestling. Family friendly,
this ain’t.
If you’re still not convinced, then NORTH Wrestling has uploaded the first show to YouTube, to view
for FREE.
