November 19th saw the return of Attack Pro Wrestling to Cardiff, outside of one of its Thursday Night Throws shows, for 'SRVRSRSLY (this time it's really not a PPV tie in). Although not hosted in the usual Cardiff Walkabout home that most tie in shows to a bigger American company hold, the show itself was put on in perhaps my favourite venue of all of wrestling, the Cathays Bingo Hall!
What was unexpected for this show, as unlike most Attack shows, we were given a surprise pre-show match, featuring a man who had appeared on several of the first Attack shows, and an up and coming Australian female, looking to make a name for herself on the British scene. Dark match: Jeff Ramsey vs Charli Evans Whoever thought the taller Ramsey would've had the edge over Evans could not have been more wrong. Although he took the early advantage, Evans managed to overcome all of Jeff's offence to beat him for the three. The match itself served as a great warmup for the crowd in attendance (and online as this whole was being streamed live through the Attack Pro Wrestling Facebook) and I hope we get to see more of both Jeff Ramsey and Charli Evans in an Attack Pro ring. Match 1: Kyle Fletcher vs Dick Riley Former Attack Pro tag team champion Kyle Fletcher vs former 24/7 champion Dick Riley was all action from the beginning through to the end. Although Riley held the Attack Pro 24/7 title once, this was his first official Attack Pro match. Of course in typical Attack Pro style, there was a lot of hilarity between the two showing compassion for each other, leading to some 'Kyle loves Dick' chants, before both men gave each other all they had, using every move in their arsenal to try and keep the opponent down. Eventually, Dick couldn't kick out of Fletcher's pin leading to a victory for the Aussie Open member. Match 2: 6 Man Scramble! El Phantasmo vs Jack Sexsmith vs Danny Jones vs Elijah vs Drew Parker vs The Love Making Demon. Now this one was mental! From Sexsmith and Demon seemingly becoming the new best of friends in the early opening of the match, to E-L-P performing an old school like manoeuvre, walking along the top rope, kicking opponents off the apron as they tried to knock him down. All six of these men left it all in the ring, but it was what happened at the end of the match that was the real shock. Dragon Pro's Bishop (who has made regularly appearances at Thursday Night Throws) pulled the official out of the ring, before Elijah took down El Phantasmo. Elijah then motioned to his long time rival Parker to get the pin, before all three seemed to join forces in the middle of the ring, leaving the fans shocked at what just happened. Match 3: Kid Lykos vs 'Flash' Morgan Webster - Attack Pro Championship Match! In recent times since Winterslam 2, Chris Brookes seems to have turned over a new leaf, becoming more 'wholesome' in his own words. That doesn't seem to be the same for his CCK tag team partner, who resorted to every dirty underhand trick he could think of to try and win this match. Webster countered all of Lykos' offence however, including the wolf's signature 'BRAAAAAAINBUUUUSTAAAAH' which is still a shock to see him hit in an Attack Pro ring! Eventually, Lykos tapped to Flash's 'Strangler' submission hold, leaving the Modfather as your Attack Pro champion. Match 4: Eddie Dennis vs Mark Davis BIG. LADS. WRESTLING. That is all I have to say. But this one was an absolute storm. Mark Davis hit Eddie Dennis. Eddie Dennis hit Mark Davis back harder. The strikes and blows could be heard throughout the bingo hall as both men went in on each other. At a certain point in the match, Davis hit an Arabian (or should that be Australian) Press to the outside to take down Eddie, however this was still not enough, as the match concluded with the 'Pride of Wales hitting his patented 'Next Stop Driver' for the victory! Match 5: Bowlarama vs The Anti Fun Police One half of the brothers of Obstruction, Jim, and Los Federales Santos Jr were the representatives of the AFP for this match, up against the Bowling Son and Bowling Daddy, Splits McPins and Lloyd Katt. The hatred these two teams have for each other clearly showed as neither team held anything back. Eventually, Bowlarama succumbed to the AFP, leaving the Anti Fun Police, once again, as the strongest force in Attack Pro Wrestling. Also, during the show, Shay Purser, Attack's rogue referee spouted his usual hatred of the Attack Pro fans, along with bragging about putting referee Chris Roberts through a table at Wednesday Night Wristlocks, before Roberts himself came out to the ring. Over social media, Attack had confirmed that Roberts had stepped down from being a referee for them... BUT HE HAD NOW SIGNED AS A WRESTLER. Roberts challenged Shay to a match at the December event 'Under The Mistletour', where the loser will leave Attack Pro for good! I know the majority of the Attack Pack would be glad to see the back of Purser, however, personally, I love a good villain and Shay seems to be the baddest of them. Main Event: Chief Deputy Damian Dunne vs Travis Banks Dunne vs Banks has been a match in the making since Banks turned on the other at Winterslam 2, for the sake of FUN! Even though Dunne was already in the ring, the familiar sounds of the AFP sirens hit, before a record scratch, and the beginning of Rappers Delight blared, leading the crowd to go wild as Travis Banks was back! Green mesh shirt and hip rotation a plenty, Banks declared himself Attack's 'Anti-Anti-Fun Police'. This match was nothing but FUN as Banks took down Dunne before asking the crowd if they wanted to see 'something sexy' before thrusting his hips once again going into moves! Dunne and Banks animosity was at an all time high, as both threw everything they had into this match, but once again the numbers game of the Anti Fun Police lead to the Chief Deputy's victory. However, this feud clearly doesn't end here, as straight after the loss, Banks challenged Dunne to a 'SNOW HOLDS BARRED' match at 'Under The Mistletour'! Leading into Attack's three show week of Festive Night Throws and the two nights of Under the Mistletour, everything seems to be raring in high gear! We have a new villainous stable, somebodies going forever, and Travis and Damian's anger at each other, plus weapons, is a recipe for brutality! Tickets for Festive Night Throws and Mistletour Night One in Cardiff are still on sale but going quickly, so snap them up while you can go see where this all leads.
