http://www.dropkixx.com Dropkixx en-us http://www.dropkixx.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=124 The following is from Dropkixx head trainer Jon Ritchie: This Saturday (September 11th) is the biggest day in the Dropkixx calender as the IWC Shootfest championship takes place for the seventh consecutive year. These championship tournaments have been a highlight of the Dropkixx year since the very first tournament winner took the throne to reign supreme over Europe’s catch as catch can wrestlers. The now top pro-entertainment wrestler Marty Scurll was our very first champion when, in a thrilling and brave performance, he won the final match of his weight division against twenty two year old Stuart Knight. Marty was only just reaching his seventeenth birthday and merely a year after a serious bike accident that left him with a severely injured leg. It was and still is one of my proudest moments at Dropkixx and made wrestling history as the first Real pro champion in over a hundred years. On that very same day a new heavyweight king was born, as Stu Sanders (Now WWE’s Wade Barrett) tore through all the other heavyweights in stunning fashion to claim his crown and begin the journey that is now set to become legend. Other competitors that day included Nick Aldis (now TNA’s Brutus Magnus). Also beginning his journey that day was Dave Jackson - now Dave Rose - who is currently headlining for the Wild Samoan wrestling group in the USA and is one of their head coaches. That was only our first comp and it sent Dropkixx to the highest level of recognition where wrestling coaching is concerned. I am proud to have taught all these men and many others since. Now we enter a new era for Dropkixx with our first Shootfest at the Bucket O' Blood Fight Club, and look forward with great anticipation to what the future holds for our current batch of high-class fighters. If you are not an entrant please come and give your support and bring your friends as Dropkixx once again takes its place in the forefront of British and European wrestling and continues to lead the way! The address of the Bucket O’ Blood Fight Club is: The Bucket O' Blood Fight Club, Unit 91A Thames Industrial Park, Princess Margaret Road, East Tilbury, Essex, RM18 8RH http://www.dropkixx.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=123 Thanks to everyone who attended our debut bill at the STC Sports Club in New Eltham last night. It was a very enjoyable night for sure. Check this website for details on when Dropkixx's wrestlers will be back here. A full write up is to follow, but for now here are the results: Lucas Jackson defeated Josh Faulkner via pinfall Rhia O Riley defeated Jezabeth via pinfall John Taylor defeated Callum "Bullseye" Chuck via Disqualification Capital Wrestling Champion Travis defeated Stephen Docherty via pinfall No Gimmicks Needed defeated The O Rileys via Disqualification Barry Ryan defeated The Grim Reaper via Disqualification Thomas Reisig defeated "Honest" Ernest Sterling via pinfall http://www.dropkixx.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=122 Tomorrow Dropkixx rolls into New Eltham for our debut show at the STC Sports Club! We already have two huge matches lined up. The first stemming from our show this past Monday at the Farmhouse Pub in Mottingham where the debuting German mammoth Thomas Riesig defeated his opponent and then put out the challenge for any man in England to face him at the STC Sports Club. The challenge was the accepted by none other than 'Honest' Ernest Sterling! These two heavyweights will do battle, and not only will their own pride be on the line but so will the country they represent! Our second big match sees great upcoming female wrestler Rhia O’Riley takes on the Dropkixx hellcat Jezabeth in what will no doubt be a very physical match as Jezabeth looks to prove to Rhia O’Riley that she is the top female wrestler in Dropkixx! More matches have yet to be announced, keep checking back here for more updates – but you can expect the top Dropkixx stars such as Callum 'Bullseye' Chuck, Barry Ryan, 'Jamaican Sensation' Cell, The Grim Reaper, 'World’s Most Pissed Off Man’ Dan Eels and many more to be making an appearance! The full address of the venue is: The STC Sports Club, Ivor Grove, New Eltham, SE9 2AJ. Doors open at 6:15 and the show starts at 7:15! Tickets are priced at £5 per person! http://www.dropkixx.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=121 This coming bank holiday Monday Dropkixx invades the Farmhouse Pub in Mottingham, South London for another day of great wrestling action - and it’s free! After a great show on the May bank holiday last year The Farmhouse Pub have asked us to return this year, and what a great line-up we have planned! In a heavyweight clash, the always highly ranked wrestler in the heavyweight division "Honest" Ernest Sterling will do battle with the silent assassin known as Devin Byrne! In a catch-weight bout Callum "Bullseye" Chuck will be taking on young high-flyer Will Harper - this match should great as we know that recently Chuck has been training heavily in submission wrestling - but before he can put any of that do the test he’s got to catch the high-flying Harper first! We also have Belfast, Northern Ireland’s own Rhia O’Riley taking on the arrogant Polly Peppers from the high-class Knightsbridge, Central London. And also for the first time ever we have our very own multi-time Dropkixx Tag-Team champions The Royal Scotsmen taking on two tough fighters from Belfast, Northern Ireland (And also relatives of Rhia O’Riley!) Chris and Ryan O’Riley. It’ll be more than just a win on the line in the match as the natives of Ireland and Scotland do battle! The show will also feature the likes of The Grim Reaper, Barry Ryan, "Jamaican Sensation" Cell, "World’s Most Pissed Off Man" Dan Eels and many more - so keep checking back here as more matches will be announced soon! http://www.dropkixx.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=120 On bank holiday Monday - the 30th of August - Dropkixx makes its long awaited return to The Farmhouse Pub in Mottingham, South London. Our first show there was in May 2009 and we proved that whatever the location, Dropkixx always showcases the best wrestling around matched with an event that the whole family can enjoy!
