After months of waiting and anticipation, Breed Pro Wrestling's campaign for a wrestling revolution in Sheffield kicked off at the Abbeydale Picture House and what a show it was. An incredible venue mixed with incredible wrestling and a brilliant crowd (if I do say so myself) led to an astounding afternoon/evening of entertainment and made certain that Breed's first show was a very, very good introduction to the world of Pro Wrestling. Let me take you through how the night unfolded.
Let's start with the venue and what a venue it is! At first, myself and my friend were perplexed at how a wrestling ring would be fit into an old cinema, turns out all you need to do is get a slightly smaller ring (or so it seemed) and have the entrance ramp directly next to the ring. This setup coupled with the old style layout of the cinema room already gives Breed a unique and intimate feeling and fears of wrestlers not being able to perform dives to the outside due to limited room was quickly put to bed. The crowd was also very good and apart from maybe one or two matches, was very noisy throughout. Memorable chants were aired throughout the night including various renditions of Prince's Purple Rain probably being the most likely to stick in your head. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety in age and sex of the audience. Usually wrestling is seen as a sport enjoyed only by testosterone filled men who are just there because its a cheap night out and there's beer involved. This was completely different at Breed with everyone from children to teenagers to those who may be a little bit older along with a large amount of women at the event. This is a very good sign for both the company and wrestling as a whole because it shows that the bygone stereotype should no longer be a stereotype and that wrestling is indeed, for everyone. Now, lets get onto the wrestling, I won't go into great detail about every single match that happened but I will say that there was no bad wrestling on this show. Everything was very slick and impressive to watch so full credit to all of the performers on the show. Highlights of the night include an entertaining opener between The Anti Fun Police with reserve officer Martina against two thirds of More Than Hype which got the night off to a fun, fast start. The qualifiers for to become the inaugural Breed Pro Wrestling champion threw up great matches with highlights including TK Cooper versus Man Like Beano, Chris Ridgeway versus Danny Jones, Chuck Mambo versus Scotty Davis (aka Purple Pants) and Lucky Kid versus Spike Trivet. Away from qualifiers, a match that I think went under the radar a little was the match immediately after the break, Maverick Mayhew and Connor Mills put on a very hard hitting and entertaining bout that possibly suffered due to the crowd coming back from the break but towards the end, the crowd did get into it. The main event was a culmination of the four men who won qualifiers earlier in the night. Chris Ridgeway, TK Cooper, Lucky Kid and Scotty Davis put on a very fast paced and dramatic match that led to eventual winner TK Cooper winning against crowd favourite Lucky Kid thanks to help from Chuck Mambo and Spike Trivet. So, is this the start of something special in the pro wrestling world? I think so. Breed showed that there is a hunger for pro wrestling in Sheffield and proved that anyone can come and watch wrestling no matter who you are or where you come from. All in all, Sunday Night Yeet was a cracking show and has me very excited for the next show on Sunday the 17th of March. Well done guys, your revolution is well and truly under way.
