They always say the sequel is harder to top the original. For every Dark Knight, there's Last Jedi but when it comes to Breed Pro Wrestling there never really was a worry that they'd suffer from second season syndrome and unlike Michu, they have continued with bringing top quality wrestling to Sheffield with a stacked show that included an international dream match, a contender for longest match of all time and a man who ditched his dungarees to worship a sponge who lives under the sea. Let's get on with it then shall we?
First the venue and its another corker. Sheffield Memorial Hall was a cracking venue and the aesthetic of the building was a throwback to the World Of Sport venues seen in the 70's/80's. The layout of the seating was even more intimate than the that of APH so much so that sitting next to the entrance way made me feel like a tripping hazard. Props must also go out to the crowd who's wit and vociferous chanting really added to the whole experience of the event. To top it all off, there were more original chants that made the experience even more memorable. Various renditions of 'I just can't get enough' among others will definitely go down in the Breed songbook with Purple Rain. So, onto the wrestling, Session Moth Martina made her return to Breed however was restricted to Ring Crew duties after a man with a great moustache but with a definite lack of humour, Juan Fall, came to make sure there were no repeats of drinking like at the last event. After a brilliant match between Club Tropicana (Captain Sexsea and Aidan) and the returning Anti Fun Police, which included the return of the Anti Fun Gun, Martina let the occasion get to her a bit (it was St Patrick's day though...) and began having a cheeky drink, unfortunately Juan didn't like that and after Martina put her right to drink on the line in a falls count anywhere match Juan brought out his enforcer Gene Munny. After a little bit of a scuffle, the two left into the women's toilets and the card continued. Another qualifier in the New Breed tournament was next up between Shay Purser and The O.J.M.O. It was another entertaining bout which saw the master of Shay -Fu progress despite taking on a leg injury. The O.J.M.O was frustrated with his loss and lack of crowd support and made the decision to furiously make a fan clap (thanks O.J.M.O by the way, you have strong hands). Next up was ex tag team partners Jack Sexsmith vs ETM's Chuck Mambo. After trying to make Mambo remember the good ol' days when they toured as a tag team, Mambo appeared to be coming around to re-joining his old friend however that was short-lived and Mambo (who did have incredible hair and sparkly pants) went on to brutally attack Sexsmith however Sexsmith did manage to beat Mambo with a cheeky roll up but Mambo and ETM did have the last laugh after attacking Sexsmith post match with a chair being used. Next up was arguably the most anticipated matched of the night, it was Smashmouth vs Unbiesiegbar, Chris Ridgeway vs Ilja Dragunov. This match was absolutely incredible. It was a hard hitting encounter with plenty of chops and kicks lighting up the chests of both competitors along with plenty of technical wrestling and grappling mixed in for good measure. If you've not seen this match, I implore you to see it because it was bloody incredible and words don't really fully do it justice. After that breathless encounter between two leading lights of technical wrestling it was time for a break. The second half kicked off with a first match in the World Trios league competition with the ever popular More Than Hype taking on the debuting Wild Boys made up of Andre Cartier, Angel Cruz and Dirty Dragan. A match full of quick, snappy wrestling which included Cruz bringing out a shank, led to the More Than Hype boys chalking up a win. Next up was ETM's Spike Trivet taking on Carlos Romo of Team Whitewolf. It was a high paced encounter with Romo looking to impress the crowd on his Breed debut and it may have been that eagerness to impress that led to him ultimately losing the match. It was an unfortunate loss for the young Spaniard who had controlled the match for the most part but ultimately lost out to a wily Trivet. In our penultimate match of the night, the second qualifier for the Women of Steel tournament took place with Raven taking on hometown girl Ivy and Debbie Keitel in a triple threat match that was full of brutal action with the ring post and Ivy's baseball bat being used. Raven eventually secured the win by pinning Keitel who appeared to have picked up a head injury. So congratulations to Raven and hopefully the injury to Keitel wasn't too serious and I hope she recovers quickly and comes back to wrestle for Breed again. After the match, Shax grabbed a mic and challenged Ivy to a match for the May 12th event at Hex Nightclub which was confirmed shortly afterwards. Now its time for the main event and TK Cooper (with Trivet and Mambo in tow) took on Scotty Davis in a match that was full of athleticism with highlights including Davis doing three consecutive dives to the outside and sending Cooper crashing into the ringside seats. However, the numbers game caught up to Davis and after being laid out by Mambo and then Cooper, The ref who was also taken out by Mambo, secured the win for ETM who continue their stranglehold on the main event scene of Breed. Davis went out to a round of applause and gets his chance to fight for the title again that is if he can beat Ridgeway at The Colossal Tussle on April 7th. After this ring announcer Lucy Openshaw sent the crowd home with a lovely message about maintaining a positive mental attitude and on that note, the show was over! But John, I hear you shout, what about Martina vs Munny? Well I think the match is still going on as of the time of me finishing this article with Martina being that dedicated to finishing the match that she didn't catch her flight back home. This surely has to be contender for the longest match of all time so if you want to see how the match will end (if it ever does) stay tuned to either Breed's, Martina or Munny's social media. All in all, Never Fight A Man With A Perm was a great follow up show and had a little bit of something for everyone. The guys and gals who run this company have their fingers firmly on the pulse of what's relevant in the world of pro wrestling and I'm extremely excited to see how the third show goes. Congratulations again Breed! I'll be seeing you on April 7th.
