The Blossom Twins beat Shanna and Nikki Storm at tonight's IPW:UK show by using Twin Magic to trick Shanna. Good match, though probably the least over match on the show. Loved the Perfect Storm's entrance, with "The Final Countdown" and their pose in the ring.

Had a long chat with Dann Read after the show, gonna keep what we talked about under wraps, but he did say there may be an announcement coming next week.

I was hoping Shanna & Nikki would win. At least with the Blossom's winning it is an established tag team moving on in the tourney.

I'm curious about the possibility of an announcement. Such a tease. haha

[themib]

I liked the Blossoms winning, as Nikki has a bigger singles match coming up anyway, and I had a different heel team (the Glamour Gym) pegged as the first champs.

[capricornscott]

I think the Glamour Gym would be a good team to have the belts first. Has EVE announced all of the teams in the tourney yet?

[themib]

The only thing I had seen announced for it was that match last night. Don't know if that was a quarter final or a semi final.

Presumably, it wasn't about the date of the next show possibly being changed? Because EVE already did reveal that on their Twitter feed, a week or so ago - Although, I've only just seen it meself, not using Twitter all that often. And the news wasn't shared on their website or their facebook page(s).

To be fair, the Twitter post does say no decision had been made at the time, but hopefully we'll know soon, if only to rearrange hotel bookings (if neccessary).

They would be absolutely great as EVE's first champions, they are quite good on their own but something truly special as a team. They also have it in them to be very traditional heel champions, relying on teamwork, smarts and foul play. A formula that still works after all these years. Yeah, the Glamour Gym for the win!

Nikki Storm has written a blog for Ringbelles and she doesn't hold back. It's a fascinating, infuriating and, in a way, encouraging read that's for damn sure.

Happy Birthday EVE - the first show was two years ago today.

[themib]

There will be a show on July 14th, which will feature two returns to EVE... but it's a joint show with another group, and there will be men on the show. That's what I got from some of Dann's tweets today.

Umm. Right.

I'll wait for more details, but I don't think I'll be making the trip for what might essentially be half an Eve show.

I still ain't sure about this. The reasoning behind adding male matches to the show seems a little odd, to me at least. I'm just holding out till we find out exactly how 'diluted' the actual Eve show is gonna be.

As for the returns, Blue Nikita? Becky James? Maybe Jetta, but she already returned once, and she's only missed one show since her last Eve appearance anyway.

Jetta missed both of the EVE v Ice Ribbon shows on the Sunday, so she's technically missed three.

I've got an idea who the two names may be... but it's merely strong theories.

Well yeah, if we're splidding hairs...

Press release, with the big news that (a) it won't be on iPPV due to complications over the carrier, (b) the next show after this one will be on November 10th, and (c) Winter will be making her EVE debut.

Pro-Wrestling:EVE returns with a ‘Special Edition’ live at The Delphi Centre, Sudbury, Suffolk on Saturday July 14th, 2012!

Originally scheduled to be a live iPPV, EVE were recently notified that the iPPV supplying company were unfortunately unable to keep to the agreed dates due to an unexpected scheduling conflict. This put EVE management in an awkward spot due to an obviously reduced income for the night in a very niche market. Our choices were either a) move the date of the iPPV, b) cancel or c) run as a taped show. Naturally we opted to move the date at first, however, we were unable to find a sufficient venue within the time required time frame. The idea of running a single date instead of a weekender (The Delphi Club was unable to accomodate a second date at short notice), as EVE usually does, was one that would hurt EVE financially and potentially risk the company due to the restricted income without iPPV and thus we were realistically left with option of cancelling.

But as we all know, we’ve had our hands forced before and we always come up with something! We REALLY hated the idea of not running a full show again until November 10 and after speaking to several fans at shows that featured EVE guest matches (such as at BritWrestFest, Southside, IPW:UK) we knew we had to do at least something! We therefore have worked with several individuals in making July 14 possible, and so on Saturday, July 14th, Pro-Wrestling: EVE will present EVE: SPECIAL EDITION.

The show will feature three guest matches from several of the top male promotions in Europe, helping expose the EVE brand to those who perhaps would otherwise not give women’s wrestling a chance due to the way it had been portrayed on television, as a compliment to a ‘Special Edition’ full Pro-Wrestling: EVE DVD taping that will see Alpha Female defend the Pro-Wrestling:EVE Championship, plus the return of two former EVE Professionals and the EVE debut of former WWE Diva and TNA Knockouts Champion – “Winter” Katarina Waters!

Pro-Wrestling: EVE will be making more announcements over the coming days including announcing the opponent of the former Knockouts Champion, in addition to the two returns and matches set for July 14 EVE: SPECIAL EDITION!
