On Sunday I attended Pro Wrestling Ulster’s latest offering in the Balmoral Hotel, Belfast. I have attended 2 of their ‘Proving Grounds’ events in Malone Rugby Club and although enjoyable I haven’t been blown away or thought that I simply HAD to be at the next event.
This show changed that.
Quite simply this was a great show! From the opening segment with JDP and Tron I was hooked for the evening, this interchange was excellent. I’ve known about PWU for several years but never attempted to learn anything more about them until I heard that one of their stars, Tron, had signed for WWE last year. I assumed all was going well until I attended my first PWU event earlier this year and Tron was there as champion, I naively thought he was on holiday or on a break from FCW but it turned out he had been released. From the moment JDP started talking about Trons’ ‘holiday in Florida’ I was hooked! Tron retaliated by saying he had been making friends and learning from legends like Dusty Rhodes and Ricky Steamboat while he was there, JDP asked “what about John Laurenaitis, was he your friend when he wished you well in your future endeavours?”.
