ATTACK! Pro Wrestling returned to Cheltenham's Frog & Fiddle on Friday 7th July for an event entitled 'Fun The Police'. In keeping with their recent trend, ATTACK! hadn't advertised a single match for this card prior to the event. However, what was advertised on the banner which was all over social media, was the group known all across the world as British Strong Style. Yes, you read that correctly, Trent Seven, Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate all appeared on this show. But who would they face? That's something you'll have to find out a little later on as up first we had some two-on-two tag team action!
Bowl-A-Rama vs. Kyle Fletcher & Mark Davis Well, that was me sold for this show already. Bowl-A-Rama, the most popular tag team in ATTACK! taking on two guys who I've become rather fond of over the past few months since they came to the United Kingdom. As an opener, this certainly didn't disappoint as both teams left it all in the ring, taking some of each others best shots and still coming back for more. As a fan, what more could you ask for than that? An example of the shots that were handed out was when Lloyd Katt got busted open the hard way after a series of dives from each wrestler involved in the match. I'm not sure exactly which one cut Fat Cat open, but it certainly looked nasty! In typical Bowl-A-Rama fashion, Katt battled on until the end of the match when Splits McPins was on the receiving end of a rather impressive Mark Davis piledriver. With a huge win under their belts, the Australian duo has built some huge momentum in the tag team division. Winners - Mark Davis & Kyle Fletcher Omari vs. Sergeant. Banks (w/ Los Federales Santos Jr.) OK, so now this is getting to be pretty awesome! Omari, in an ATTACK! Pro Wrestling ring against Sgt. Travis Banks. For those of you not familiar with Omari, he's a graduate of the Fight Club: PRO Academy. He's well over 6' tall, yet moves around the ring like he's a Junior Heavyweight. Omari is certainly a wrestler to look out for over the next few years. As I'm sure you can imagine, Sgt. Banks looked to gain any advantage he could to negate the size difference between himself and 'The Big O'. What you have to be aware of as a competitor wrestling against any member of the Anti-Fun Police, at least one other member will be lurking around on the outside. After Omari's early flurry of offence, Banks took control with Santos Jr. causing a distraction and then soon after, assisting the Sergeant in chokeslamming his much larger opponent - a moment which both impressed me and made me laugh at the same time! Sorry, Trav. That was fun! Later, it was the numbers game that proved to be decisive in this contest. With Shay Purser assisting a fallen Santos Jr. from the ring, Sgt. Banks went downstairs with a low blow to his much larger opponent. Omari soon kicked out of a Kiwi Crusher but wasn't able to escape Banks' Lion's Clutch moments later and was forced to submit. This was a great outing for 'The Big O', but Travis' experience was what won him this contest. Winner - Sergeant Banks Extra Talent-Ed vs. ATTACK! Pro Wrestling Tag Team Champions #CCK The ATTACK! comedy was off from the start here as Extra Talent-Ed wanted a debut title opportunity. Ricky Starks requested the title match, however Chris Brookes pointed out that Starks and Aaron Solow had nothing to offer in the way of championships in return. Solow offered to ask his wife-to-be (WWE Superstar Bayley) to put in a good word for them both to be entered into the upcoming WWE Mae Young Classic tournament. After a brief discussion, #CCK accepted the terms and the ATTACK! Pro Wrestling Tag Team Titles were put on the line! This was a damn good match with both teams using some "sick fucking tag moves" throughout. However, for all of their endeavour, the team of Extra Talent-Ed were not successful in becoming the ATTACK! Pro Wrestling Tag Team Champions. With Solow looking to fly off of the top rope onto a prone Mondai Lykos, Chris Brookes entered the fray with the #CCK baking tray which sent Aaron crashing to the floor. This opened the door for #CCK and soon after, Lykos won the match for his team when he levelled Ricky Starks with a Brainbuster which almost caused Shay Purser to jump out of his trousers! Winners and still ATTACK! Pro Wrestling Tag Team Champions - #CCK Elijah vs. Wild Boar Now this is one of the reasons why I love this current direction that ATTACK! is going with when they don't announce matches prior to the show. I wasn't in Cheltenham for this show but when Boar's music hit, I popped knowing that I'd be seeing two of the most intense and talented wrestlers on the ATTACK! roster facing off against one another. Elijah will be kicking himself after this match because there were too many occasions where the fans getting on his back distracted him from picking up a potential victory. There was also the sheer determination of The Wild Boar that had a hand in Elijah not picking up a much needed win here. Elijah was in control for a large enough portion of this contest, but ended up on the receiving end of the Trapper Keeper, Boar's Package Piledriver, which signalled the end for the passionate one in this contest. Winner - Wild Boar British Strong Style vs The Anti-Fun Police (Chief Deputy Dunne & The Brothers of Obstruction) Well, it's main event time folks and my first disappointment of the year from ATTACK! and that was the fact that British Strong Style didn't come out to Jack White's 'Love is Blindness'. Don't get me wrong, 'Sledgehammer' is a fantastic British pop track, but I do miss not hearing Jack White's voice over a sound system whenever British Strong Style enter an arena...or pub in this case! Still, if that's my one and only disappointment for ATTACK! this year, they must be doing a lot of things right! A lesser disappointment was when Pete Dunne didn't bite the head off of that pigeon which seems to keep appearing at shows. As soon as he wrapped his teeth around that thing I started marking out. Shame, really. I've never been a fan of those pesky things! All of that disappointment was soon forgotten about though when British Strong Style picked up the win. There were two reasons for that disappointment shifting from my memory: - Reason 1: After the victory was confirmed, the music that was played was the theme song from the 90's kids show 'Fun House'! Remember that show? I'm sure most of the men reading this who do will certainly remember the twins! - Reason 2: British Strong Style hit a triple Pedigree to Shay after the match. I'm sure that moment sent the fans home more than happy! Winners - British Strong Style Thus ends another ATTACK! Pro Wrestling event. Safe to say that, once again, this was a damn good wrestling show. I can live with the two previously mentioned disappointments after seeing Shay getting dropped on his head with a BSS Pedigree. As ugly as it looked, it was still a thing of beauty! ATTACK! didn't hang around for their next event as they returned to Trinity Centre in Bristol on Sunday 16th July for the event 'The Neon Wristlock'. The review for that event will be coming over the next few days so make sure you stay tuned to BritWres Review's social media outlets for that.
