SOUTHSIDE IS SHEFFIELD!

We've had our eyes on the steel city for some time and we have been working hard behind the scenes to secure the right venue and we believe we have found it as on Friday 19th September we will run our first ever Sheffield show in the City Centre.

The venue is ideal for traveling fans located very close to a major train line that goes direct to virtually all major cities in the UK, there is also a coach station plus various car parks available near by for those who drive. There are plenty of places to eat, stay over and lots of night life for those looking to make a full night of it.

We are so excited to bring top class international wrestling back to the city of Sheffield and we are hoping that this is the start of something very special. We are hoping that our fans from our other locations can make the trip and we can attract a lot of new fans who previously didn't have the chance to see Southside live.

We will be bringing all the top stars from the Southside roster, including some amazing athletes who haven't competed in the North of England yet.

When Kris Travis informed us that he would not be fit enough to put on the match that Southside and his home fan base of Sheffield deserves, and Kirby made it clear he had no interest in finding a replacement partner, we only had one team in mind to step into the match with The Worlds Cutest Tag Team - The Southside Speed King/Queen Champion, Kay Lee Ray and her partner El Ligero.

Kay Lee has been riding a tremendous wave of momentum since pinning Martin Kirby at our August Nottingham event to become Southside's Fifth ever Speed King Champion and then successfully defended that same belt the very next night.

What makes this match so intriguing now is that both teams are intergender in this tag team match. We know Kay Lee Ray can stand across the ring from any man and she proved any doubters wrong when she ended Martin Kirby's almost year long reign as Speed King Champion. Candice LaRae can also stand across the ring against any man as she proved when she and Joey Ryan ended The Young Buck's 561 day reign as PWG World Tag Team Champions. Candice LaRae came a split second away from ending Adam Cole's reign as PWG World Champion in March of this year in a thrilling main event. El Ligero and Joey Ryan are two of the longest serving and hardest working wrestlers in their respective countries. Both have over a decades worth of experience in the ring and both have held major titles in their own country with Joey Ryan being a former PWG World Champion. It was under Ryan's reign with that title that it became a World Championship. We are sure that Ligero and Kay Lee would welcome the chance to wrestle in California for PWG one day and a win over the current PWG World Tag Team Champions and a former PWG World Champion would surely make PWG management sit up and take notice. Conversely The World's Cutest Tag Team would not to stop with just the PWG World Tag Team Title's and a win over El Ligero and the Speed King Champion, Kay Lee Ray, would surely put them in contention for a Southside Tag Team Title shot if they were to return to England.

We have two of the best womens wrestlers in the world today in the ring against each other for the very first time. The World's Cutest Tag Team may hold gold right now and have teamed with each other extensively over the past year (Along with feuding with each other for a period of five years), but Kay Lee Ray and El Ligero have a lot of history together and in Southside's first intergender tag team match, Ligero and Ray were victorious. Can Ligero and Ray keep that undefeated streak going in Southside's second intergender tag team match? Or will the PWG World Tag Team Champions manage to keep their own streak going? Find out Friday the 19th of September at Sheffield Library Theatre.

Rampage isn't returning to Southside to make up the numbers, he has dominated all over the country since his last SWE appearance and intends to make the biggest possible statement on his return by winning the Southside Heavyweight Title!

After retaining his title this past weekend Mark Haskins reign as Southside Champion has to be the most grueling run of any champion is SWE history, he continues to face all comers and deliver the goods but the contenders don't get any easier and the pressure and competitiveness of his run, not to mention the mind games employed by Tommy End have to be taking a physical and mental toll on The Star Attraction. Will Rampage be able to capitalize or will Haskins be able to put another top challenger down?

When we lost Mark Andrews from the show on Sheffield on 19th September due to his entrance into Chikara's King of Trios, we knew we needed to announce something very special to replace his match with Will Ospreay (which will now take place on Oct 11th in Nottingham). So how about this for a replacement, a first time ever UK dream match Will Ospreay takes on Pro Wrestling NOAH's Zack Sabre Jr!

When it became apparent that Kris Travis' on-going illness would prevent him from appearing next Friday, we informed Kirby he would have to find a replacement partner to face the current PWG World Tag Team Champions, The World's Cutest Tag Team, Kirby refused to name or even begin a search for a partner. Instead Kirby had already made his mind up - He wanted to face Robbie X!

When we asked why Kirby would demand a match against Robbie X his response was that Robbie involving himself in his Speed King title match to Kay Lee Ray was the direct reason as to why he lost his belt to Kay Lee. We would have pointed out that Robbie only involved himself in the match after Kirby's Project Ego tag team partner, Kris Travis, already had done so. But Kirby already sounded pretty irate so we didn't feel the need to bring that up at that moment in time! So we contacted, KLR, El Ligero and Robbie and they all agreed to the switch in match, Robbie in particular was excited to hear of the change, as he relished the chance to take on his old tormentor Kirby. For Kirby, he blames Robbie for the loss of his Southside Speed King Championship. But for Robbie this goes back much further.

In the first year of Southside's history a masked wrestler by the name of Ego Dragon tormented and terrorized El Ligero and anyone associated with him. Ego Dragon faced Robbie X twice in singles matches and one tag team match and each time always managed to defeat him. At our Second Year Anniversary show the mysterious Ego Dragon would face El Ligero in a No Ropes, Mask vs Mask match and finally be unmasked and revealed to be Martin Kirby. Although Robbie and Kirby have crossed paths in the ring since then it has never been in a one on one situation. Until Friday the 19th of September at Sheffield Library Theater. Robbie may have never defeated Ego Dragon/Martin Kirby in a singles match but that was three years ago. Robbie X has come so far in that time with being the second man to hold the Speed King Championship and has faced not only the best in England but the best the world over. But then Martin Kirby is still as mean and viscous as he was three years ago and at 357 days, his reign as Speed King Champion will be hard to beat. Who will emerge victorious? Find out in just over a weeks time!

Trio's Match Up; 'Flash' Morgan Webster and The Young Wolves (Tyler Bate and Daniel Moloney take on The Calamari Catch Kings (Jonathan Gresham and Chris Brookes) and Nixon Newell.

We see so many amazing 6 person tags in the likes of Chikara, DragonGate and PWG yet the Trios match is something of a rarity in the UK. So we thought it was about time we did something about that and added them as a feature to Southside.

So we picked some of the most exciting young wrestlers in the UK and one experienced international star to kick off the division with a bang!

The Young Wolves have been impressing everyone not just in across the UK since they broke onto the scene and on their 2 previous tag matches in Southside with the Hunters they have stolen the show, so we certainly wanted to give them more chances to show how staggeringly talented they are. While their team mate 'Flash' Morgan Webster is someone SWE management has been scouting for a while, he has an exciting, fast paced and high flying style that means he will be a perfect fit for the Speed King Division and we believe this is his perfect opportunity to introduce himself to the Southside fans.

While on the opposite side of the ring, Jonathan Gresham has been around the world wrestling in so many different countries since his last Southside appearance. He has helt multiple titles in Japan and returns even better than he was before. Gresh has formed an excellent tag team with another exciting young prospect Chris Brookes - The Calamari Catch Kings. But while Gresh has been away Brookes has formed another team with Nixon Newell - The Vulture Squad, who have also been very impressive since their debut earlier this year. Much like Kay Lee Ray - Nixon isn't afraid to take on the men, and the unlikely duo have made a great team. So both team unite to form a trios team for the very first time!

There may be some new names you aren't familiar with in this match but trust us, by the time it's over you will definitely remember them! This match is going to be fast paced, non stop action as 5 of the UK's brightest young stars and the incredible Jonathan Gresham kick off the Trio's division in Sheffield!

Our next match for our incredible debut in Sheffield sees The Hunter Brothers face former two time Southside Heavyweight Champion, Stixx, and the 2014 Money In The Bank holder, Joseph Conners.

After a fantastic weekend in August with incredible Match Of The Day contenders against The Young Wolves, Flips And Forearms and the team of former TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Chris Sabin and Will Ospreay, The Hunters are definitely on their way towards earning a future Southside Tag Team Title shot against the defending Tag Team Champions, The Summerian Death Squad. For our Sheffield debut they requested they face any tag team open and willing to the challenge.

Stixx's weekend in August wasn't quite as fantastic as due to his on-going battle with Robbie X and the Speed King division he saw himself lose against former WWF Intercontinental Champion, Marty Jannetty. For Sheffield Stixx's request was quite simple - Anyone at all in the Speed King division. Stixx is involved in a one-man war against the entire Speed King division and he didn't care who he faced.

For Joseph Conners his request for Sheffield was quite simple - The Hunter Brothers. When we pressed him why he wanted to face them he replied that at our May and June events in Nottingham and Stoke respectively, The Hunters indirectly involved themselves in his feud against Paul Malen as at both events they had to physically restrain the two former Predators from killing each other. Conners, enraged from his loss against Malen at our last event, wanted Malen himself but when we refused he quickly came back to challenge The Hunter Brothers.

As a singles match against one of the best tag teams in England today would have been unfair, we at Southside decided to put Conners and Stixx's agendas together into a tag team match. These two are no strangers to each other as both come from Nottingham's House Of Pain but ever since the events of last year and the beginning of this one, each man in that stable has distanced away from one another. Conners and Malen became embroiled in a hate-filled feud between two former best friends whereas Stixx has set his sights firmly on the Speed King division and now Robbie X.

On Friday the 19th of September the two former House Of Pain stablemates will reunite in a common cause whereas The Hunter Brothers aim to put themselves at the top of the list to challenge Tommy End and Michael Date's current six month reign as Southside Tag Team Champions. Which team will come out on top? Find out at Sheffield's DQ Club in just over two weeks time.

PS did we mention we only have under 60 tickets left !

UNDER FOURTY TICKETS LEFT

Yes this is correct. With the Library Theatre we have a very strict capacity at just under 260 people and we are under 40 tickets away from reaching capacity.

We are aware we've had our share of bad luck at this event with Davey Richards breaking his leg and Mark Andrews being offered the opportunity to wrestle for CHIKARA in America during their biggest shows of the year and then Kris Travis' on-going illness along with the venue change.

But we do strongly believe this will be the best card Sheffield will have seen in some time. We have the PWG Tag Team Champions facing one of England's finest intergender tag teams. Mark Haskins attempts to become the longest reigning Southside Heavyweight Champion and standing in the way of that is a former WWE contracted wrestler in Rampage Brown. Zack Sabre Jnr and Will Ospreay will square off in a first time ever UK dream match, fresh off Zack's star making appearance in California for PWG's Battle Of Los Angeles weekend. We have a mouth watering six-person tag match that will be none stop action. The Hunter Brothers vs Stixx and Joseph Conners could prove to be a war if Conners words are shown to be true.

WE SAID THIS SHOW WOULD SELL OUT AND IN SIX DAYS THAT WILL BE THE CASE!

HOW MUCH?

Standing tickets are £10. We had limited front and second row (£20 and £15 respectively) but they sold out within three days. With this being a new venue in a brand new market we're trying something new. Even though there is standing on 2 sides of the ring you'll be able to stand right up next to the ring. Other European and English promotions have tried this and it makes for an incredible atmosphere being only able to get mere inches away from ringside and with standing you'll be able to move around and find a vantage point that suits you. There is a capacity of 300 people in the venue so please don't delay in getting tickets as this show *WILL* sell out.

SOUTHSIDE IS SHEFFIELD!

We've had our eyes on the steel city for some time and we have been working hard behind the scenes to secure the right venue and we believe we have found it as on Friday 19th September we will run our first ever Sheffield show in the City Centre at one of the most popular night clubs - DQ!

The venue has a great sound and lighting system and the night club acoustics and set up will prove a great atmosphere for a rowdy wrestling crowd. The venue is also ideal for traveling fans located very close to a major train line that goes direct to virtually all major cities in the UK, there is also a coach station plus various car parks available near by for those who drive. There are plenty of places to eat, stay over and lots of night life for those looking to make a full night of it.

We are so excited to bring top class international wrestling back to the city of Sheffield and we are hoping that this is the start of something very special. We are hoping that our fans from our other locations can make the trip and we can attract a lot of new fans who previously didn't have the chance to see Southside live.

We will be bringing all the top stars from the Southside roster, including some amazing athletes who haven't competed in the North of England yet.

We are very excited to announce that Joey Ryan and Candice LaRae ( together know as The World's Cutest Tag Team ) will be making their UK debut on Sep 19th . The current PWG tag team champions can't wait to come to Southside and come to the UK and we are very excited to have them.

We asked the fans who they wanted to see PWG Tag Champs - The Worlds Cutest Tag Team (Joey Ryan and Candice LeRae) take on in Sheffield on Friday 19th and most of you wanted to see them take on Project Ego. So you asked for it, you got it!

Rampage isn't returning to Southside to make up the numbers, he has dominated all over the country since his last SWE appearance and intends to make the biggest possible statement on his return by winning the Southside Heavyweight Title!

After retaining his title this past weekend Mark Haskins reign as Southside Champion has to be the most grueling run of any champion is SWE history, he continues to face all comers and deliver the goods but the contenders don't get any easier and the pressure and competitiveness of his run, not to mention the mind games employed by Tommy End have to be taking a physical and mental toll on The Star Attraction. Will Rampage be able to capitalize or will Haskins be able to put another top challenger down?

When we lost Mark Andrews from the show on Sheffield on 19th September due to his entrance into Chikara's King of Trios, we knew we needed to announce something very special to replace his match with Will Ospreay (which will now take place on Oct 11th in Nottingham). So how about this for a replacement, a first time ever UK dream match Will Ospreay takes on Pro Wrestling NOAH's Zack Sabre Jr!

Robbie and El Ligero have met on a few previous occasions, but until this point there has never been a clear decisive winner, we expect that to change in Sheffield!

Their first match took place back in July 2013 and was heading for a classic until Martin Kirby who was at the time deep in a bitter feud with El Ligero interjected himself. The rematch was set for December that year, but it was Ligeros first match back after losing the brutal feud with Kirby and a confidence drained and out of sorts Ligero wasn't able to pull himself together to show his best. Then 3rd time these men met was in June this year as part of a 3 way match with WCW cruiserweight legend Juventud Guerrera, Robbie was all set to pick up a huge win, but Stixx interfered allowing El Ligero to capitalise on the already fallen Juvi and pick up the victory and end his near year long losing streak.

So now Ligero seems to have recaptured his confidence and since he broke his losing streak at Robbie's expense we think now is the perfect time to put these 2 top Southside stars in the ring together one-on-one and find out who really is the better man!
