Pro Wrestling Pride with ECW Legend Sabu
Hello again wrestling fans! I'm back at Pro Wrestling Pride and this is a great card. This was my 2nd time at Exeter Lemongrove and its a great venue. I was on the front row and close to the ring and the venue was packed out again as it had been previously!
There was such a great atomsphere tonight It Looked like to me that they had another sell out again which looking at the card and the talent on show doesn't surprise me at all.
As always is written from memory and I started writing at 6am this morning! Also everything written is my opinion on what a saw and experienced. Also my picture quality from the show this time wasnt great i need a better camera for next time!!
Lets get into the show

Catch Division championship bout.
Chikara USA star Jigsaw vs Catch Champ Ultimo Tiger

| Jigsaw and Ultimo Tiger |
I got really absorbed into this match and this was one of the stand out matches I have been looking forward too. Tiger has had some great bouts this year but I honestly think this was his best to date. Jigsaw is an incredible talent and both really had a great match. I probably won't be able to write everything that happened here to do it justice but here goes!! :)

| Kids in the ring |
Ultimo Tiger has a special entrance for this show he has 4 children with him all in Ultimo Tiger Masks they accompany him to the ring!
The little tigers leave the ring and the bell rings. Now you'll have to bear with me with this match these two are so quick and so smooth that there was some fantastic chain wrestling to start off this match with reversal and counter reversal by both men which resulted in a stalemate.
Jigsaw then starts to take control of proceedings and gets Ultimo tiger by the head and goes for a suplex but this is reversed and tiger goes for sliced bread as this is reversed also.
Tiger manages to come back at jigsaw and jigsaw is sent to the outside Ultimo Tiger then does the Ultimo dive over the rope and onto Jigsaw!
At this point again the crowd are chanting 'this is awesome' and 'this is wrestling' Jigsaw gets back in the ring and tiger comes back at Jigsaw and goes to the top rope but misses on jigsaw, Jigsaw seizes upon the opportunity and hits Tiger with a combination of strikes and quickly goes into Brainbuster for which he gets a two count - Jigsaw screams at Tiger to stay down.
Tiger then switches around jigsaw grabs him from behind and picks him up for a blue thunder bomb which gets tiger a 2 count.
Tiger is then able to hit sliced bread and get the pinfall victory and retain his catch division championship.
Winner - Ultimo Tiger
all the fans are clapping after this match and Tiger holds out his hand for Jigsaw and Jigsaw bats it away but then says into the mic 'No Handshake this needs a hug! Hug it out!'

| Andrews and Grizzly |
We come back from the break and C2 theme hits again and out comes challenger for World Title Big Grizzy. Grizzly walks towards me and as he walks round stops takes two steps forward and is looking down at me like he is going to tear me apart! He gives me a long dead state which felt like eternity Grizzly means business tonight!
Champion Chris Andrews comes out next and the crowd is solidly with Andrews for this match which lots of loud boos for Big Grizzly and a lot of 'we hate Bears' chants going through the building!
The bell rings and Grizzly and Andrews meet in the middle of the ring forehead to forehead these are big bug guys and the crowd can feel the animosity level rising.
Both men try to hit each other and then shoulder block each other and no one is going anywhere. grizzly then decides to go outside of the ring and take advice from his manager Calum Cain. grizzly walks round the ring and gets back in at the count of 9.
Grizzly and Andrews then start a test of strength with each other and lock hands with both men jocking for position. Andrews gets the advantage but Grizzly kicks Andrews as then is kicking him in the floor and takes him The corner to hand out even more punishment.
Andrews fights out and then goes for a Body slam attempt but Grizzly weight is too much and Grizzly gets a close 2 count.
Grizzly continues to attack and has Andrews in a camel clutch Manoeuvre until Andrews is able to fight out of it and get back to the ropes and is draped over 2nd rope when Calum Cain gets invoked again and hits Andrews. Andrews is in the centre of the ring and Grizzly goes up to the 2nd Rope and jumps off but his head meets the boot of Andrews!
Andrews is now back on his feet as the momentum of the match is changing and Andrews motions to the crowd and in an incredible feat of strength lifts up Grizzy and gives him a delayed vertical suplex (it has to be seen to be believed!! It was amazing!!)

Andrews then hits Grizzly with a running power slam for another 2 count and then Andrews is back on his feet ready to pick up Grizzly for the TKO but as he does Calum Cain gets on the apron and distracts Andrews this gives Josh Knott the opportunity to pass the PWP world title to Grizzly. Grizzly hits Andrews with belt and makes the cover and wins!

Eventually Syntax does get involved in the match and they seem to be training up on Taylor but this doesn't last long at Syntax then gets his pin attempt broken up by Mean Tommy and Mean Tommy and Syntax fight and Syntax ends up on the outside of the ring again. Mean Tommy is in control and gives us a stomach wiggle to the crowd while the crowd are cheering for Tommy Taylor chanting 'sideshow bob' due to his frizzy hair.

There is carnage all around me after this match Robbie Caine blood is everywhere all over the table and he is taken from the ring. John Harding gets himself back into the ring and the crowd chant 'Thank you John' John grabs the mic and thanks all the fans.
Iv got to say Robbie Caine is one tough Person he really showed his physical toughness and his ability in this match and how the hell he continued i dont know.
In addition i have never seen someone take as much punishment live as John Harding did tonight he really gave all of himself to this match and did everything possible to win and the fans showed the appreciation as a result.
