On Sunday March 25th, two rival pro-wrestling factions and their active rosters will collide in a six-match card with it all the play for ��" the losing faction must STOP running shows forever, and sign over all active assets to the winners. The two groups involved are IPW:UK (International Pro Wrestling: United Kingdom) and the FWA (Frontier Wrestling Alliance).
IPW:UK formed in September of 2004, and have been running monthly or bi-monthly shows at the Orpington Halls ever since. Foraying into other areas such as Essex, elsewhere in Kent, Hertfordshire and Hampshire, they have been awarded many accolades for best group and best match of the year by several fans and critics alike. Using a top blend of both British and international wrestlers, fans are always treated to multiple ‘main event’ matches on each and every card. Owned by Daniel Edler, top wrestling names include current champion Andy Boy Simmonz (http://www.ipwuk.com/roster/teams/hatedheroes.shtml), as well as long-term sidekick Aviv Maayan, and long-term rival Martin Stone (http://www.ipwuk.com/roster/teams/th...chables.shtml). IPW:UK held a 12-week television slot on Sky channel 427 (The Wrestling Channel, now TWC Fight) at the back end of 2006, and are scheduled to return to air in middle 2007.
