UPW Let the Games Begin 
Results
May 18th 2018 





Hello Wrestling fans!

Welcome back to a new show results blog, I haven't done one of these for a little while due to personal issues but now I'm back telling you all the happenings from the latest wrestling show I attended UPW let The Games Begin!

Don't forget as always everything written is my opinion and my thoughts on the show. I'm writing the show from memory and all the pictures are taken by me, with that said read on and enjoy!!

UPW returned to Wincanton memorial Hall on Friday May 18th 2018 with Former WWE Star Rene Dupree and Impact Wrestling star KC Spinelli along with Chuck Mambo, TK Cooper, Adam Da Silva, Max Castle, Josh Knott, Gideon, Psycho Phillips, Jayde, Eddie Ryan and Damon Moser.

Match Results 

TK Cooper Defeated Chuck Mambo






Quick Thoughts on the match 

The show kicked off with TK cooper coming the ring followed by Chuck Mambo and many beach balls flying around the venue on his entrance. I thought these made had a great match to kick off the show, the athletic ability on show was 3nd to none and they put on a very dynamic match. 

Sadly to the distain of the crowd TK Copper picked up the pinfall victory a great way to kick off the show. 

Max Castle Defeated Josh Knott









Quick Thoughts on the match 

The Snake Adam Da Silva came out first with his ribs taped stating that due to injuries sustained recently he was not medically cleared tonight to wrestle, Adam stated that he would be able to pick his own replacement, he pointed to the stage and from behind Adam henchman Max Castle attacks Josh Knott from Behind. 

Josh Knott is an incredible talent and pushed Max Castle as much as he could but Max with his physically power and aggression along with Adam Da Silva on the outside sliding along the floor interfering whenever he could was too much for Josh to overcome, Max hit a ferocious Spinebuster and picked up the victory.  

Dan Magee vs Rene Dupree







Quick Thoughts on the match 

Dan Magee came into this match as a replacement and Dan I felt truly excelled in this match against former WWE superstar Rene Dupree.

This is the first time I have seen Dupree since 2004 and he looked completely different with long black hair.

Maggee and Dupree, but on a great wrestling match, they were going one on one with Wrestling moves, holds and wrestling counters and as the match continued Magee took to the air to the outside and then Dupree took to the air with an elbow drop in the ring.

Dupree managed to pick up the win, but this also showcased what potential Dan Magee has for the future.

Psycho Phillips Defeated Gideon 







Quick Thoughts on the match

I am a fan personally of both these men, this was a fight and when I mean fight I mean FIGHT. these men battered each other, with everything they had from start to finish. 

Gideon Hit a very impressive powerbomb on the apron at one point which turned the tide of the match at that time in his favour. 

Psycho Phillips character continues to improve every time I see him, he was hitting Gideon so hard at one point he was talking to his hand saying "why are you making me do this?" that was a clever touch.

Psycho Phillips won the match when he hit his diving spear through the middle rope to Gideon. 

After the match Psycho gave a fist bump to Gideon out of respect then went to the back.

KC Spinelli Defeated Jayde






Quick Thoughts on the match

This match is the definition of fun, it all started when the crowd stated chanting "chicken" at Jayde for not getting in the ring and it just so happened that a fan Brad Burton had been to KFC during the interval to get some food. KC took his KFC box and put it in the ring.

While the crowd chanted to Jayde "get back in your box" KC pinned the box with the referee counting.


This then led to both Ladies getting on the mic Jayde demanding that KC put her Title on the line and KC saying she will do so only if Jayde agrees to buy and Deliver her KFC if Jayde loses, They both agree and the first ever UPW KFC Boneless Banquet Match is on!

By this point Jayde was very angry and took large control of the match while shouting at fans at the same time, KC came back with a flurry of offence, until Jayde stopped her again, but KC was able to overcome Jade retain her title and get a KFC delivered to her by winning the match.

Eddie Ryan Defeated Damon Moser 












Quick Thoughts on the match

I thought that these men started off their match at a fast pace with Moser attacking Eddie Before the bell was even able to ring and with Moser and Eddie Heading to the Outside it resulted with Moser getting a body slam on the stage and then getting thrown back towards the ring. 

Once in the ring the bell went and we were officially underway, Eddie Ryan took control of the match until Moser came back at him and Moser caught Ryan with some shots and the intensity of the match built further when I could see Eddie Ryan mouth bleeding. 

This seemed to push Eddie on further and no matter what Moser tried to do he couldn't put Eddie away Eddie was able to fight back with a super kick and then the George Cross for the victory.

Just when Eddie Thought it was all over Max Castle came out on the entrance Way and in reverse of what they did to Josh Knott earlier in the night Adam Da Silva attacked Eddie Ryan from behind, Adam was livid shouting orders at Max as they took Eddie apart however Max missed a splash in the corner and Eddie hit Da Silva off the apron and Castle carried Da Silva over his shoulder as Eddie shouted at Castle and Da Silva to come back for more!

Overall this was a great show and was an entertaining night of pro wrestling, seeing some new names like Dan Magee and Moser both of which I was very impressed by.

Also it adds intrigue to future matches, Adam Da Silva and Max Castle both were quite involved in this show and look like they will be a major part of the future of UPW, What will they do next and who will they target next? 

In addition UPW Champion Josh Bodom put out a message after the show, You can see it below this raises lots of questions, how will be the next challenger to Josh for UPW title?

UPW World Champion Josh Bodom message to UPW Management  



"Dear UPW, sort your roster out. Find me a worthy challenger, then I’ll be back. Most likely looking like 2020 at this rate...

Lots of Love, #BadBro"

This year 30 Man Royal Rumble match has alot of intrigue built into it most people are of the opinion that John Cena will be winning this years event and then go on to face The Rock at Wrestlemania.

WWE TV in UK 2024 Will it Stay on TNT Sports, Move Back to Sky or Somewhere new?

In 2020 WWE signed a multi year deal with TNT Sports (BT Sport at the time) to air WWE programming WWE Raw, WWE Smackdown and WWE NXT.  Channel 5 also airs highlights of WWE RAW and WWE Smackdown but on a week delay - Channel 5 is a free to air channel here in the UK.  Last week I received an email as a WWE Network subscriber here in the UK to inform me that I could now watch WWE NXT every week on WWE Network from 3rd Jan 2024. So this email got me thinking - is the WWE/TNT Sports UK TV deal coming up soon? it looks possible. Looking at the original story of the deal being made in 2020 multiple sources claim that it is a "multi year deal" See below  ( https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/ustv/a28113145/wwe-smackdown-raw-watch-uk-tv-bt-sport/)     I could not find how many specific years that was., However I thought i'd give my opinion on where WWE Raw and WWE Smackdown could end up in 2024, The rights fee's obviously are alot less than there are in ...
