The Union of Independent Professional Wrestlers returned to the Toronto indie wrestling scene after a five year absence with a hot event on Thursday August 8th at the Tranzac Club. Here are all the results from Never Say Never!
In the VIP Exclusive opening match, Thomas Shire manhandled and pinned “Free” Travis Moore.
Space Monkey pinned RJ City after a vicious tailwhip to the face.
The Bar Breakers (Eric Cairnie and Jeff Black w/ Lenny Lilac) beat The Midnight Violence Syndicate (Lionel Knight and Preston Myles) after Cairnie hit a huge diving headbutt on Myles.
“Walking Weapon” Josh Alexander defeated “The Savage Monster” Albright via tapout to an ankle lock at the 24 minute mark in a contest that John Pollock from PostWrestling.com described as “the standout match of the night”.
After being introduced by his manager Tex Lexus, massive strongman Roscoe Black overcame the speed and agility of “The High Risk Hero” Rip Impact for a win after an Oklahoma Stampede powerslam.
A brand-new Northern Lights Champion was crowned when Shane Sabre outlasted Gabriel Fuerza, Vaughn Vertigo and “The Queen of Crazy” Addy Starr to earn the title. Addy’s attempt to slam Sabre onto a pile of LEGO she had dumped into the ring backfired when Sabre caught her with a double-underhook powerbomb and earned the pin.
In the main event, Union Champion Anthony Kingdom James outlasted the vicious onslaught of “Unkillable” Kevin Blackwood to retain his title after not one, but TWO, rainmaker lariat clotheslines.
The Union returns to the Tranzac Club on Friday December 6th for “A Hazy Shade of Winter”. Stay Tuned to this website for details!
