FSM EXCLUSIVE ANNOUNCEMENT FOR OCTOBER 19TH REV PRO SHOW!
“He Is Coming” states the teaser on a YouTube video promoting the UK debut of former six-time IWGP heavyweight champion, Hiroshi Tanahashi. One of the finest all-rounders in the world, the New Japan Pro Wrestling star is set to compete in the UK for the first time at Revolution Pro Wrestling's event, “Uprising”. The card will be held from York Hall, London on October 19, 2013.
RevPro brought Japanese wrestling legend, Jushin “Thunder” Liger to the British Isles for the first time in 25 years this past Saturday, as the junior-heavyweight veteran faced “Prince” Devitt in a hotly-received match on the aptly-titled, “When Thunder Strikes” show. With UK wrestling legend, Mark “Rollerball” Rocco also present at ringside, this was a history-making event.
With Tanahashi, the promotion is hoping that lightning will strike twice, and fan interest in the Japanese grappler's first UK appearance suggests it will be a special night. Upping the ante, however, Fighting Spirit Magazine is delighted to exclusively announce that the aforementioned Prince Devitt will collide with DGUSA and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla star, Ricochet, in a huge match on the same event.
Both renowned for aerial and technical skills aplenty, Devitt and Ricochet have been receiving plaudits worldwide for their fantastic in-ring abilities. Fan anticipation for this bout will be high, and wrestling fans are assured an incredible showcase from both men.
Tickets for “Uprising” are priced £15 and go on sale from 5pm today over at www.RevolutionProWrestling.com. Featuring the UK debut of Tanahashi, and now a titanic clash between Prince Devitt and Ricochet, fans can be assured a tremendous night of pro wrestling action.
