IPW:UK Go To Hull, Sunday October 21st 2007!

» We’ve conquered Kent, we’ve moseyed through Herts and Essex, with a quick weekend in Liverpool, and some fun nights in Portsmouth, and now we’re bouncing all the way up to HULL!

Coming at you from The Alexandra Hall in Hedon, Hull, IPW:UK brings many of our best Southern regulars, and mixes in some of the best of the North, as we bring you what most fans will consider the best fast paced wrestling action in the UK today.

For more information on the show, as well as directions and how to buy tickets, head over to: http://www.ipwuk.com!


Summers And Simmonz With Challenges Of Very Different Natures!

» The egotistical Hated Hero pairing of LT SUMMERS - himself from Hull, and ANDY BOY SIMMONZ - who once upon a time resided from Hull – have thrown out open challenges for IPW:UK’s Hull debut of a very different nature.

Summers, ANGRY that he hasn’t been contacted by American promotion Pro Wrestling Guerrilla for their European return on October 27th in Portsmouth (where Summers now resides), has opened the door for any PWG regular to come to Hull on October 21st and face the big man one-on-one. Summers will be out to prove his value and try and earn a spot on the show, which occurs just 6 days after we debut in Hull.

PWG have been advised of the open challenge, and are said to be preparing an opponent for Summers.

Meanwhile however, Andy Boy Simmonz has offered the same singles match challenge, but to any of the local wrestlers in Hull, in a chance for many locals to make their IPW:UK debut and try and make a big impact by beating one of the top stars. Simmonz is a former IPW:UK Champion, and if things go to plan and he manages to earn an IPW:UK Title shot against JC Thunder before October 21st, he could well be champion again come October 21st!

» Also, it has been decided that EL LIGERO will have his British National Championship first round bout on October 21st in Hull. His opponent, as well as every other match in the tournament, will be drawn on August 26th in Orpington, Kent.

» And also confirmed for the show are ‘The Bad Boy of British Wrestling’ Jon Ryan, IPW:UK Champion JC Thunder, Cameron Kraze the 3CW Young Lions Champion, The Kartel – Sha Samuels & Terry Frazier, ‘Mr Bad Attitude’ Martin Kirby and ‘The Guvnor’ Martin Stone, with many more to be announced in the near future!


And therefore the current card for “The Hull Debut” on Sunday October 21st 2007 is:

British National Championship: First Round Match
- El Ligero in singles action.

Summers’ PWG Open Challenge!
- LT Summers’ open challenge to any PWG wrestler!

Simmonz’ Local Chump Challenge
- Andy Boy Simmonz, too, throws open a challenge – to a local Hull based wrestler!

- The Kartel in tag team action.

PLUS another British Championship first round match-up!

AND IPW:UK Champion JC Thunder, ‘The Bad Boy of British Wrestling’ Jon Ryan, Cam Kraze, ‘The Guvnor’ Martin Stone, Martin Kirby & much more. Your referee for the evening, Andy Quildan.

Funk's Corner - The Largest Sports Memorabilia Convention on Long Island Ever.

Friday and Saturday August 24th and 25th, Turnbuckle Promotions memorabilia Convention will have special meaning for many reasons. Just like the wrestling fans, Marti and I will have the opportunity to speak with friends who have been special in our life that we haven't seen in years.

It could also be the last opportunity to appear at a wrestling event with my brother Terry Funk. It will bring back many memories.

When Terry broke into the business, I had already been wrestling two years. As I watched Terry wrestle his first match with Sputnik Monroe at the Amarillo Sports Arena, I knew my little brother had what it takes.

In the early days we teamed together in the Amarillo Territory often. Even though we were individuals and had different styles and separate careers in the wrestling business. I always knew Terry was at my side and when necessary, had my back covered.

Our days in Japan as the premier American Tag Team and our feuds with Abdullah the Butcher and The Sheik were memories I could never forget. As a team in Japan, we were the only three time All Japan Pro-Wrestling World League Wrestling Champions.

Here in America we had separate careers but at times there was a team so dominating that wrestling fans demanded they face the "Funk Brothers." Teams like the Brisco Brothers, Sheik and Abdullah the Butcher and maybe the most dominating team in wrestling, The Road Warriors.

Turnbuckle Promotion's Largest Wrestling and Sports Memorabilia Convention on Long Island will be special as once again I will be making a public appearance with the man who never ceases to surprise and entertain me in professional wrestling, Terry Funk.

For more information on Turnbuckle Promotion's Largest Wrestling and Sports Memorabilia Convention visit their website at www.turnbucklepromotions.com.

Funk's Corner Professional Wrestling - Old School vs New School.

On our next !BANG! TV Taping, Support the Troops 19, "Hard Justice," coming Sunday September 2nd, Shane Chung will be challenging Johnny Magnum for the Funking Conservatory World Championship. Johnny Magnum will be facing his toughest challenge yet.

Following is from Funking Conservatory Hard Core Champion, Shane Chung's MySpace Blog.

"Okay, let's talk about wrestling. Lets talk about Old School vs New School. Which is better? I guess it's somewhat debatable. First off we have old school or what my generation calls Old School. Dory Funk Jr., Jerry Brisco, Pat Patterson, Jack Brisco, Stu Hart, Ric Flair, Tully Blanchard and many more legendary wrestlers and icons are considered Old School Wrestlers."

"These men would travel the world on and defend their titles, defend their names and wrestle. Yes Folks, they used actual wrestling moves and hold they would wrestle hour long matches night after night, putting everything they got on the line, all while carrying and building the sport of professional wrestling."

"Ask yourself when is the last time you've seen someone use a short arm scissors, a double wrist-lock, a fireman's carry, a well executed arm drag? Ask yourself that?"

"Now we have new school, Springboard Tornado, DDT's, Hurricaranas from every angle, aerial attacks from the inside of the ring and the outside, not to take away from these maneuvers but matches aren't won in the air. They are won on the mat. Sure they're flashy but are the extra movements necessary."

"Bruce Lee invented JKD for one reason, to take the flashy unnecessary movements out of fighting. To make fighting more effective. What's more devastating, a Hurricarana or a double under-hook supple driving you into the mat?"

"As a mat wrestler you're taught the fastest way from point A to point B is a straight line. In other words, if you are going to shoot the leg, go straight in. Be direct, so any opponent I face is more than welcome to bring the "Air Attack," to bring the flash but while you are down on the mat with "Daddy," I'm gonna be straight. I'm gonna be "Old School," and I am gonna kick your "New School," butt. I will do what I do best.......... Wrestle, in the tradition, in the legacy of the men who built this sport from the ground up."

"Go to www.dory-funk.com and get your tickets for the show (!BANG! TV Taping) on September 2nd. Come see wrestling at its' purest form."

Shane Chung
