Fight Club: PRO – Eighth Rule of Fight Club, Starworks Warehouse – Review and Pictures

The 19-year veteran is the leading superstar of Big Japan Pro-Wrestling, and despite wrestling all over the world, this was only his second tour of the UK.

There is nothing like seeing Sekimoto in person, as despite his short stature he is a musclebound powerhouse that looked twice as wide as his opponent.

The two would go to war with the former WWE UK Champion frequently struggling to get Sekimoto off his feet

Whereas the match began with the local fans showing their appreciation for both men, by the end, everyone was cheering on Bate.

Bate’s British Strong Style colleagues, Trent Seven and Pete Dunne, would join forces with Millie McKenzie to take on a team of visiting American superstars.

Not for the first time McKenzie would have a hand in choosing her team’s entrance music, choosing the theme song of the TV show Friends, to illustrate her burgeoning friendship with the WWE UK Champion.

Their match against Dezmond Xavier, Zachary Wentz and Trey Miguel would combine fits of athleticism with comedy, with much of the latter coming from the unique stylings of Wolverhampton’s Trent Seven.

This week had seen Fight Club: PRO work take up a three day residency in London’s Bush Hall for a combination of training school seminars and live events.

Across those three days they ran a new talent tournament, with the winner, Ireland’s Scotty Davis being introduced the crowd.

The presentation was interrupted by his fellow countryman, Jordan Devlin, who urged Davis to side with him against the local fans.

Davis refused, leading to an excellent match where the debutant more than held his own against one of the best pro-wrestlers competing in Britain today.

The past few months have seen Fight Club: PRO torn apart by the growing power of the Schadenfreude stable, but with their leaders Chris Brookes and Walter competing in Germany, that storyline was placed on the backburner.

Instead Kyle Fletcher continued his self-proclaimed reign as the promotion’s champion, once again claiming to defend a title that actually belongs to Meiko Satomura. He squared off against Birmingham’s Omari, in the latest match in what had hitherto been a friendly rivalry.

With his new ruthless attitude, Fletcher would defeat Omari for the first time, as he continues to build momentum for when he gets the chance to prove against Satomura that he deserves to hold the Fight Club: PRO title.

• “The Eight Rule of Fight Club” will shortly be available to buy on DVD or Video on Demand.
