Wrestling Pride Heroes and Legends Review – 19th July 2015
 |
| my signed poster from the show |
This
was my 1st show back at Pro wrestling Pride in just over a month –
and what a show to come back too. Pro Wrestling Pride Heroes and Legends with
Hawksaw Jim Duggan, Mr Anderson, Rockstar Spud, Roderick Strong and Chris
Masters.
These
Mega shows do not come around very often and this is the 1st show
with all these stars on I have seen in the South West in my lifetime of 29 years.
So very pleased that all these superstars are in one place and here for all the
fans to see.
The
Atompshere in Paignton was incredible it was amazing to see so many fans and so
many people come bell time there must have been well over 850 people for this
show maybe even more as that is a rough estimate. I think there was well more than that in attendance!
 |
| Duncan J Bugg |
This was the 1st time at Torbay Leisure centre as the venue was great there was floor seating, Bleacher seating and Balcony seating too it made for as I said before an amazing atmosphere and gave that extra dimmest on to the event too.
There were many chants of hooooooooo from the crowd even before the show had begun! lots of people with 2x4 pieces of Wood and so many people buzzing for this event.
Duncan J Bugg comes out with Referee Martin Longley and senior official Ed Dyer and it's time for Pro Wrestling Pride Hereos and Legends!
Everything here is written from memory and as always is my own opinion I have to say that everything on this show tonight was done brilliantly the pacing of the show, the matches and the wrestlers everything was so well done - with that said lets get into the show!! :)

8 Man Tag Team Match
Darren Saviour, Hawksaw Jim Duggan, Danny Walsh and John Harding
Vs
C2 Calum Cain, Tyler Hawke, Roderick Strong, Mark Walsh
This match was incredible the crowd was so loud for this match and went totally nuts! I was so carried away with it myself and love matches like this as I got lost in the moment and most importantly they make me smile.
I sat there taking it all in and was smiling for the whole match being a long time wrestling fan and sitting on the front row watching Hacksaw Jim Duggan literally feet in front of me was something I thought I would never have an opportunity to say in a sentence. I will be honest I was so into this that I wont remember every detail of the match but here goes!!
There were chants of hoooooooo every few seconds from the crowd and even a "usa usa usa" chant for Duggan too, honestly the feeling in that building was tremendous the vocal energy of the crowd and feeling in that building may be something that I don't get to experience again that close up but will be something that i'll remember for a very long time.
on to the match C2 come out first wearing new t shirts and a new banner Calum Cain, Tyler Hawke, Mark Walsh and ROH Roderick Strong make their way to the ring with the lovely and gorgeous Tara.

The crowd is going nits already and before the match is chanting "This is Awesome" C2 attempt to come up to the apron but jump back down again as Hacksaw comes back to them with his 2x4. This happens twice more as C2 don't seem to like the look of what is transpiring. Crowd are getting louder and louder and Hacksaw, Saviour, Harding and Walsh all have a group team talk in there corner then finally Roderick Strong gets up on to the apron and into the ring.

Darren Saviour gets tagged in and starts working on the arm of Roderick String and then makes a quick tag to Danny Walsh who does the same thing Hacksaw then gets back into the ring and continue to work on strong as things aren't looking good for C2. Tara is looking on from Ringside. Strong manages to get out for the ring and tags Cain as John Harding now enters the match for his team, John gets caught in the corner as Tyler Hawke now gets himself involved and takes on Harding.
As the match continues Danny Walsh is battling Strong again and hits a great side suplex onto strong and then hits a massive elbow drop from the top rope which is broken up by Mark Walsh
All the men then end up in the ring and brawling with each other and its a melee in the ring although John Harding was not the legal man he gets rolled up and referee counts the pinfall, the referee counted the pinfall on the illegal man and Hacksaw, Saviour, Walsh and Harding loses the match and C2 get away out of the ring.
