A PRO-WRESTLING legend, along with top UK talent, will compete in a mega show in Tidworth.
British Kingdom Professional Wrestling Heavyweight Champion, ‘The Stallion’ Chris Bronson will defend the title against ‘The English Lion’ Eddie Ryan at Tidworth Civic Centre on Sunday, June 23.
Bronson, who learned to wrestle in a farmer's barn, has dominated the British wrestling scene using the ‘Shire’s Kiss’, a brutal kick to the head that puts opponents down for the three count.

Ryan, who is best known for holding the Five Star Real Wrestling Championship and his time in (WWE) NXT UK, will be the biggest threat Bronson has ever faced. The English Lion is known as one of the hardest working men in UK wrestling, training in the gym six days a week, running the ‘Lion’s Den’ pro-wrestling school and competing at the highest level, all alongside a full-time job.
Dave Sharp, British Kingdom Pro Wrestling promoter of more than 20 years, said: “Bronson, with the help of his entourage, has been unstoppable but he’ll face his toughest challenge yet come Sunday in Tidworth. Ryan is professional wrestling. He's competed all over the world yet is only just entering his prime. Eddie works harder than anyone and if anyone can stop Bronson, it’s him.”

Bronson will be accompanied to the ring by 6'2 ‘Demolition Woman’ LA Taylor and his mentor ‘The Ambassador of British Wrestling’ Doug Williams, a legend of the sport having held championships for organisations such as TNA Wrestling, Ring of Honour (ROH), New Japan Pro Wrestling, National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), and many more. Both Williams and Taylor have been known to involve themselves in Bronson’s matches to ensure his victory.
Bronson said: “Eddie may have the body of a Greek God, but it won’t make much of a difference once I’ve kicked the head of that body clean off, will it? He may have more muscular shoulders than most, but I’m still pinning them to the mat on Sunday.”
Also on the card; ‘The Italian Stallion’ Antonio De Luca will take on fan favourite Saime Sahin. In tag team action, Tiger Ali and Prince Phoenix will face Tristan Lee and the masked Mega Pegasus in what promises to be a fast paced, highflying tag encounter.
