The epic Torneo Cibernetico comes to Philly on September 22!

Once a year we host a match unlike anything seen here in the United States. The Cibernetico is a 16-man elimination match, made up of 2 squads of 8 wrestlers each, and in the past, it's proven to be favorite of our fans and followers. This year, the Cibernetico is poised to pit the forces of the Kings of Wrestling against Lince Dorado and a team of luchadores, but most of the participants are a mystery at this point. At "Here Come the International Invaders: 2nd Stage," Mitch Ryder helped Shayne Hawke defeat Lince Dorado, and then, accepted the young Canadian onto his team.

Today, in addition to revealing two more participants in the Cibernetico, we want to run down some of the other action on the card for you. Two official announcements will be part of our Sept. 6th online PPV (podcast-per-view thingy!), but until then, have a look at what's in store:

It’s “Summers’ Time” as IPW:UK Return to Sittingbourne, Kent, On Sunday September 9th At The Wyvern Hall!

» On July 29th in front of a super-fun loving Sittingbourne audience, IPW:UK made their debut at the Wyvern Hall. With an amazing 30-minute Iron Fist main event, local fans went away knowing of new wrestling heroes such as Martin Stone, The Kartel, Stixx and many many more.
Speaking of Heroes, however, September 9th will be the evening of the Hated Heroes – LT Summers, Aviv Maayan, Billi Lightning and Andy Boy Simmonz, as all four men rule the roost. With five matches to fill, how will the Heroes decided to torment their enemies such as JC Thunder, Rus Rogers and Martin Stone?

For more information or to buy tickets head over to http://www.ipwuk.com right away!

The Hated Heroes Order Two More Matches Involving JC Thunder, Martin Stone & ‘Security’ Rus Rogers!

» IPW:UK Champion JC Thunder may have had the last laugh this weekend at Summer Sizzler, with “The Real Orpington Heroes” defeating “The Hated Heroes”, but come September 9th it is The Hated Heroes who are in charge.

As a result, and with the IPW:UK Title match under submissions rules coming up at the 3rd Anniversary Weekender, Hated Heroes leader Andy Boy Simmonz has booked JC Thunder in a 3-on-1 HANDICAP MATCH in the main event of “Summers Time”, on September the 9th.

After strong performances in Portsmouth and Orpington of late, Simmonz has recruited two members of “The Thrillers”, in Mark Haskins and Joey Redman to do his bidding for him. The third man in the bout? None other than fresh off of his first two wrestling matches, from Big Brother 8, Billi Lightning!

With the odds as ever stacked against our champ, can Thunder defeat the powerhouse duo and their new famous friend?

» In the second match made by the evening’s matchmakers, The Hated Heroes, we will see two close friends face off as ‘The Guvnor’ Martin Stone takes on ‘The Rock Hard Security Guard’ Rus Rogers.

As a way of punishing Rogers, and to the same extent challenging both he and Stone, The Heroes have set the two close friends against each other, in only Rogers’ third wrestling match, and only his second singles contest!

Don’t however, expect to see either men take it lightly on their opponents just because they are friends. For Stone, even with Rogers’ impressive strength, a loss would be a massive upset. For Rogers, a win could seal a spot on the permanent IPW:UK roster, his ultimate aim.


The Hated Heroes Book Themselves In Pro Wrestling NOAH Open-weight Tag Title Match!

» It was announced last week that Pro Wrestling NOAH duo, and current Open-weight tag champions, Kentaro Shiga and Kishin Kawabata are headed to Sittingbourne on September 9th as a part of their European tour. The two men, who have headlined so far for Premier Promotions, WAW and many more so far on their tour, mark the final pairing of talent being sent to the UK this year.

With The Hated Heroes now left available for other matches having found a suitable tag team to go against JC Thunder, they feel that since they are “the best tag team in IPW:UK”, that THEY personally should be the lucky ones who receive a shot at international tag gold.

And therefore the current card for “Summers Time” on Sunday September 9th 2007 is:

» 5 matches as decided by The Hated Heroes combination of LT Summers, Andy Boy Simmonz, Billi Lightning and Aviv Maayan.

Main Event Handicap Match
- JC Thunder vs. The Thrillers (‘The Star Attraction’ Mark Haskins & ‘The Physical Specimen’ Joey Redman) & From Big Brother 8, Billi Lightning!

Pro Wrestling NOAH Open-weight Tag Title Match
- Kentaro Shiga & Kishin Kawabata (c) vs. The Hated Heroes (Andy Boy Simmonz & LT Summers)

- ‘The Guvnor’ Martin Stone vs. ‘Security’ Rus Rogers

- Plus ‘The Specialist’ Mark Sloan vs. Devilman

And much much more! Your referees Chris Hatch and Andy Quildan, and of course, Master of Ceremonies is ‘Hardcore’ John Atkins!
