Commissioner Jackson Steps Down

In breaking news Lucas Jackson has decided to step-down from his position as Dropkixx Commissioner following his assault from The Grim Reaper last night at St. Andrews' Club. He declined to comment on this action but has stated that he is now ready to join the active roster and will be looking forward to making his much anticipated in ring debut/return soon. In other news, we are currently updating the roster pages to our website so please forgive our appearance over the coming weeks whilst we update it.

St. Andrews Results

What a fantastic night was to be had last night at our first bill at St. Andrews. At the beginning of the night the crowd were informed that there would be a change to the scheduled 4-man tournament as �Gentlemen� Jon Ritchie would be pulling out of the tournament due to an injury. He would be replaced by Ponsenby P. Pratt and that he would be competing in our first bout of the evening. However Ponsenby was unable to defeat Callum �Bullseye� Chuck as he was quickly pinned to allow Callum to advance to the tournament finals and get one step closer to a shot at the IWC Heavyweight Championship. The second bout featured new IWC Light-Heavyweight Champion Lazer Lagden taking on �Honest� Earnest Sterling in our second first round tournament match. The action got started straight away with Lazer attacking Sterling before the bell even rang with that big silver belt and when it got in the ring Lazer continued the assault. Sterling would make a comeback however and just when the match was getting some steam going Lazer attacked Sterling once again right infront of Senior Official Chris Hatch�s well-trained eyes. This gave Sterling a win by disqualification and an advance to the tournament finals later in the night. Up next came �The World�s Most Pissed Off Man� Dan Eels taking on the incredible �Jamaican Sensation� Cell in a catchweight bout. A hard series of strikes from Dan Eels grounded Cell for the first part of the bout but Cell showed us why he is the Sensation soon enough with his highflying offence. However Dan Eels was truly, well, pissed off by this and quickly pinned Cell. Our fourth bout saw one half of the most accomplished tag team in Dropkixx history, Gary Docherty of the Royal Scotsmen issuing an open challenge to anyone in the back at the moment. Out came local competitor Josh Faulkner who accepted the challenge. Docherty wrongly overlooked Faulkner as he was unable to get a win as quickly as he perhaps thought he could do. The young rookie Faulkner was impressible and came very close to defeating our accomplished star. However Docherty would prove that experience is more important in a match like this and was able to get a cheap pinfall over Faulkner. However Faulkner impressed �The People�s Commissioner� Lucas Jackson and may very well become part of the roster in the coming months. Up next came our tournament finals of the night against �Honest� Earnest Sterling and Callum �Bullseye� Chuck. To say that the crowd was pro-Bullseye would be an understatement as the fans in attendance were clearly behind him and not the �Honest� one from the get-go. However Earnest would show that his self-proclaimed �honest� approach to a bout would be successful as he was able to control Chuck from the early going. Even stooping as low as to throw Chuck to the outside and brawl right infront of Chuck�s family. However Chuck would make a comeback and hit a series of high impact moves however Earnest was resilient in going down easily. He too would win via pinfall and not in the fairest of ways either. Chuck would contest this with Senior Official Chris Hatch but Earnest would leave with the victory and a future title contest with The Grim Reaper. Speaking of the devil he was in our featured bout of the evening. However due to an injury sustained in their brawl at last month�s Ilford bill Sgt. Kevin Anthony was unable to compete and so top ranked Heavyweight Devin Byrne was named as his replacement. For this bout, for the IWC Heavyweight Championship, Commissioner Jackson was the official and he had a very hands on approach as even though the bout was No Holds Barred, before the match he had made it clear that he didn�t want it to turn too vicious. Bryne was able to get a lot of offense against The Reaper and even a couple of near falls. However after some interference from Banshee as well as help from a cane used brutally on the outside right infront of the fans The Grim Reaper was able to pin Byrne after a deadly Grimson Blade. However the action didn�t stop when the bell rang as The Grim Reaper was not happy with the punishment he had already dealt Byrne and continued the assault after the match choking him with the cane. Commissioner Jackson tried to stop the attack and then in a moment never before seen clotheslined the IWC Heavyweight Champion and stood up to the Reaper and his devious ways. However this proved to be a mistake as The Grim Reaper delivered a deadly Grimson Blade to the Commissioner. After being helped to the back Jackson made no comment on the actions of The Reaper but we are sure that our Commissioner will not let this assault slip under the radar. Thank you all for coming and hopefully later on in the week we will have an announcement regarding our date of return later in the Spring. However don�t forget we have action in 3 weeks time in Lenham on Sunday 21st March and the card will be announce over the next fortnight. And following that we have our second bill at Ilford on 10th April. Keep your eyes on the Dropkixx website for all information on these next two bills and more. Thank you's also to Jon Ritchie, Tony McMillan, Dan Eels, our fantastic ring announcer Tebraiz Shahzad and Senior Official Chris Hatch as well as all the staff at St. Andrews' for making it a night to remember. O, and Happy 20th Birthday to Charlotte Eels.

Another Bout Added To The St. Andrews' Bill On Sunday

Another fantastic bout has been added to our bill in St. James' Park this coming Sunday. The Royal Scotsmen - the most decorated tag-team in Dropkixx history - were originally going to compete in a tag-team match but due to an injury Stephen Docherty has had to pull out and so Gary Docherty has decided to issue an open challenge which he is aptly calling a "Royal Scotsmen Challenge". It will be interesting to see who answers this challenge and if Gary can adapt as well to singles wrestling as he has to tag-team wrestling. Also "The People's Commissioner" Lucas Jackson has confirmed that this Sundays featured bout which is a No Holds Barred contest officiated by the commissioner himself will be contested for the IWC Heavyweight championship. With Jackson added as officiator as well as it being contested under No Holds Barred rules could this be the end of The Grim Reaper's dominating reign? The show will feature the above two bouts plus a grudge match between Dan Eels and Cell and also a four-man tournament to determine who will be the new number one contender for The Grim Reaper's IWC Heavyweight championship. Tickets are available on the door from 7:OO P.M. and are priced at £7.00 (Or £4.00 for members of the St. Andrew's Club).

Dropkixx's Own Stu Sanders On WWE NXT

We are pleased to announce that one of Dropkixx's very own, Stu Sanders - currently going by the name of Wade Barrett - has made his WWE debut as part of their NXT show. He is featured on this week's broadcast in the main event. We are really proud of Stu for all that he has acheived both at Dropkixx and after it. It's proof that it really can happen for anyone as long as they apply themselves. However big things are happening on this side of the pond also as this weekend sees training as usual in our new gym situated in East Tilbury, which boasts an Olympic sized mat area, our brand new 24-foot ring as well as weight machines and much, much more. Training starts from 10:30 and will be taken by former two-time LDN British Heavyweight Champion, Jon Ritchie. And on Sunday evening join us in St. James' Park for our bill at St. Andrew's Youth club which is features a number one contenders tournament for The Grim Reaper's Heavyweight belt as well as the champion himself taking on Sgt. Kevin Anthony in a No Holds Barred match which we have learned in the week shall be officiated by none other than Dropkixx Commissioner Lucas Jackson. Tickets are £7 (£4 for members of the club) and are available on the door.

Matches For Westminster Show On 28th Announced!

[ THE INFORMATION ] ~ Date ~ Sunday, 28th February, 2010 ~ Address ~ St. Andrew's Community Centre Alec Wizard House 12 Old Pye Street Westminster London SW1P 2DG Nearest station: St. James' Park served by the District Line or Westminster served by the Circle, District and JUbilee lines. Please check before you travel at www.tfl.gov.uk as planned engineering works usually take place at weekends on the London Underground. Master Of Ceremonies: Tebraiz Shahzad Doors Open: 7:30 P.M. Show Starts: 8:00 P.M. Ticket Price: £7.00 [ THE MATCHES ] No Holds Barred Match IWC Heavyweight Champion The Grim Reaper (The deepest, darkest corner of your worst nightmare) vs. Sgt. Kevin Anthony (Eltham, South London) When looking for an opponent for The Grim Reaper to face for the first show of 2010 we looked no further than Sgt. Kevin Anthony. Kevin Anthony is one of the few wrestlers on the Dropkixx roster that can withstand The Grim Reaper�s offence and also fight back against him for a decent part of the match. As was expected there was no fancy reversals or holds in the match, both wrestlers headed into the match prepared for a fight and that�s what the Ilford crowd saw. However, as the match spilled to the outside the referee was unable to bring the wrestlers back into the ring, so the match was declared a draw. Seeing that the two wrestlers still wanted to continue the fight "The People�s Commissioner" Lucas Jackson announced that they would continue, but not at Ilford as he then announced that they would face each other at Westminster in a No Holds Barred match. With their first match ending in utter chaos their No Holds Barred match will be yet another brutal encounter, but will Sgt. Kevin Anthony be able to defeat the seemingly unbeatable Grim Reaper, or will the Reaper once again prove why he is the IWC Heavyweight champion? Grudge Match "The World�s Most Pissed Off Man" Dan Eels (New Cross, South London) vs. "The Jamaican Sensation" Cell (Kingston, Jamaica) At our second event in Lenham, Kent in September a match was announced between good friends Dan Eels and Cell. On paper the match seemed like it would be very good, as the styles of the two wrestlers complimented each other well, Dan Eels with his mainly technical wrestling and Cell with his unorthodox mix of technical, high impact and ariel styles. However as soon as the bell rung a everyone in the venue that night saw a very different side of Dan Eels as he unleashed a brutal attack on Cell. Showing no regard for his opponents wellbeing Eels took every opportunity to attack Cell, be it on the mat or standing with various kicks, punches, elbows, knees and anything else that would do damage to his opponent. Cell eventually won the match, showcasing his incredible agility securing the three count with a standing Shooting Star Press. These two former friends turned enemies have not had any interaction with each other since their last match in Lenham, but you can be sure that their match in Westminster will be just as go od as the first! #1 Contenders Tournament The show will also feature a one night only knock-out tournament to determine a number one contender for The Grim Reaper�s IWC Heavyweight championship. The tournament will feature two young up and coming heavyweights Callum "Bullseye" Chuck & "Honest" Ernest Sterling, the current IWC Light-Heavyweight champion "Lazer" Lagden who is determine to prove himself as a fighting champion by also hopefully challenging for the IWC Heavyweight championship and lastly it will also feature the man that is favourite to win the tournament, the former two time LDN British Heavyweight champion Jon "The Don" Ritchie. (CARD SUBJECT TO CHANGE)

llford Results

A fantastic bill last night at Ilford FC Cricklefield Stadium thanks to everyone who attended, helped kick off 2010 for Dropkixx in style. Our opening bout saw a rematch between Devin Byrne and one half of the Dropkixx Tag Team Champions Cell really fight it out, exciting the crowd with a high impact opener. Cell was victorious proving that perhaps speed is more important than power delivering a deadly neckbreaker and inverted moonsault (which he himself calls the Reggae Reggae splash) pinning Byrnes shoulders to the mat for a three count. It may be safe to say however that this rivalry isn't over as Byrne was far from happy after the bout. Our second contest of the evening saw a returning Barry Ryan (a former IWC Light Heavyweight Champion) take on 'Honest' Earnest Sterling in a straight up wrestling contest. It was back and forth throughout, however Ryan would lock in a deadly single leg Boston crab and the Honest one had no choice but to tap. He too had grievances after his bout and informed the crowd that he had solid intentions of facing The Grim Reaper for the IWC Heavyweight Championship in due course. Out next came our IWC Light Heavyweight Champion, Yorghos (in his second reign and he is a former LDN British Heavyweight Champion with victories over Kendo Nagasaki and Jon Ritchie to name but a few) and he very clearly informed the Ilford crowd that he had no intention of wrestling tonight, despite being half of the featured bout. Out came Lazer Lagden, who has been waiting for this opportunity to come up and he made it clear that he wanted his much deserved Championship bout and wasn't going to leave until he did. In step Commissioner Lucas Jackson, who made sure the fans � and not Yorghos- got what they want and announced that the Main Event would still be taking place. An unhappy and bitter Yorghos sneakily attacked Lagden from behind with the Championship belt ensuring that the people of Ilford would not be supporting him in the bout yet to come. Up next saw a real brawl of a match between aforementioned IWC Heavyweight Champion The Grim Reaper and Sgt. Kevin Anthony. It was a non-title match but from the way these two were clobbering at each other it did seem for a second that the title may be on the line. They brawled both in and outside of the ring and repeatedly did not respond to referee Rob Brazier's demands that they re-enter the ring and so it all ended in chaos as whilst fighting outside the ring the referee and Commissioner Jackson saw no other option but to end this as a double disqualification. Jackson would then naively enter the ring and informed Grim and Sgt. Kevin that they would get another chance to face each other but that it would not be until Sunday 28th February at our St. James' Park bill and that because these two could not maintain there rivalry within the rules of a standard match that Commissioner Jackson was authorising a No Holds Barred contest between the two for the said date. They both did not like this and so sent Commissioner Jackson head-over-heels with a double clothesline. What will Jackson do as his revenge, find out at St. James' on the 28th of February! Our fourth bout was a contest between one half the most successful tag teams in Dropkixx history � certainly the most accoladed- Gary Docherty, of the Royal Scotsmen taking on one half of No Gimmicks Needed 'Tough' Tony Kemp. A back and forth bout which saw Tony pin Gary after seven minutes. And then came our featured bout of the evening, and the Main Event, the contest for the IWC Light Heavyweight Championship between champion Yorghos (who was accompanied by Junior Champion Kevin) and challenger Lazer Lagden (accompanied by top Junior contender Matt Ball). This match was held under World of Sport rules of six 3 minute rounds, with a 30 second rest period between the rounds. Yorghos got first blood pinning Lagden in the second round. However Lagden would fight back with a pinfall on Yorghos in round 4. And despite Yorghos' blatant cheating on several occasions � use of a chair, hair pulling, eye-raking- Lagden was able to hit his patented manoeuvre and earn a second pinfall in Round 7 and after twenty minutes of ring action was crowned the new IWC Light Heavyweight Champion to end the show. And in a fantastic moment in Dropkixx history he was joined by his peers in the ring to celebrate an incredible victory, as well as inform Yorghos (after Matt Ball had cheekily thrown him over the top rope) that he would have to earn his rematch for the belt and that it would not be given to him. An ideology that Commissioner Jackson also shared. After such a fantastic show you will be pleased to know that a follow up show has been booked for Saturday 10th April, so add that date to your diary. So thanks once again to everyone who came and we hope to see you all in four weeks time at St. Andrew's Community Centre, Alec Wizard House, 12 Old Pye Street, Westminster, London, SW1P 2DG (nearest station is St. James' Park served by the District and Circle Lines check before you travel at www.tfl.gov.uk.

Ilford Show This Saturday!

[ THE INFORMATION ] ~ Date ~ Saturday the 30th of January, 2009 ~ Address ~ Ilford F.C. Cricklefield Stadium 486 High Road Ilford Essex IG1 1UE Master Of Ceremonies: 'The People's Commissioner' Lucas Jackson Doors Open: 6:30 P.M. Show Starts: 7:00 P.M. Ticket Price: £7.00 [ THE MATCHES ] IWC Heavyweight Champion The Grim Reaper (The deepest, darkest corner of your worst nightmare) vs. Sgt. Kevin Anthony (Eltham, South London) 90% of The Grim Reaper�s matches usually have the same format. He enters the match as the IWC Heavyweight champion, destorys his opponent with relative ease then leaves, still the IWC Heavyweight champion. However it is highly doubtful that The Grim Reaper�s first match of 2010 wil be that easy as he faces one of the toughest men currently on the Dropkixx roster: Sgt. Kevin Anthony. Sgt. Kevin Anthony has recently been training in Muay Thai kickboxing and various other martial arts, so he is now even more dangerous that before - but can he defeat the reigning IWC Heavyweight champion as he clashes with The Grim Reaper? IWC Light-Heavyweight Championship Yorghos Christopoulos (Champion) (Athens, Greece) vs. "Lazer" Lagden (Challenger) (Romford, Essex) Ever since winning the prestigious IWC Light-Heavyweight championship from Barry Ryan in February 2009 the usually respectful and considerate Yorghos completely changed the way he thinks of the fans and fellow wrestlers. "Lazer" Lagden is also another wrestler who has stopped caring about what the fans want and has started to concentrate fully on his wrestling, and by doing so has earned himself a number of victories over the likes of The Sensei and "Tough" Tony Kemp. Yorghos spent the last part of 2009 having various matched with no-nonsense fighter Sgt. Kevin Anthony, unfortunately Anthony was unable to knock some sense into Yorghos, but hopefully "Lazer" Lagden will, and in the process win the IWC Light-Heavyweight championship. "Tough" Tony Kemp (Tilbury, Essex) vs. Gary Docherty (Fife, Scotland) These two wrestlers have faced each other numerious times over the years, but it has always been in a tag-team match with their respective partners Dan Eels and Stephen Docherty. It will be intresting to see how Gary Docherty adapts to singles competition, as Tony has more experience in singles matches than Gary. A win for either man will no doubt give their team a step in the direction of the Dropkixx tag-team championships. "Honest" Ernest Sterling (Walthamstow, East London) vs. Barry Ryan (Catford, South London) Mat technician Barry Ryan makes his long awaited full time return to Dropkixx rings after a near seven-month sabbatical. Ryan spent his time away from the ring focusing on other fighting styles such as boxing, MMA grappling, Thai boxing and freestyle wrestling. Will Sterling�s �honesty� gain him the victory here or will Ryan�s new found skills secure him victory? "The Jamaican Sensation" Cell (Kingston, Jamaica) vs. Devin Byrne (The Ivory Tower) After winning the Dropkixx Tag-Team championships at the end of 2009 "The Jamaican Sensation" Cell looks to start off 2010 with a victory over the heinous Devin Byrne. Not much is known about the relative newcomer to the Dropkixx rings Devin Byrne, but what we do know is that he is a force to be reckoned with. Since winning his debut match (Also against Cell) Devin has left a trail of broken bodies behind him as he goes from strength to strength. Will Byrne be able to kick-start 2010 with victory over one half of the Dropkixx Tag-Team champions, or will "The Jamaican Sensation" continue his winning ways? (CARD SUBJECT TO CHANGE)
