ABOUT POWER TRIP WRESTLING (PTW)
Power Trip Wrestling (PTW) is a Luton, Bedfordshire based professional wrestling company that utilises some of the top UK grappling stars; alongside a passion for discovering and giving opportuinity to the sport’s upcoming domestic talent. PTW are a family run business that extol the virtues of a fun family friendly product, which is something becoming increasingly rare in the world of professional wrestling. PTW do this, and still keep somewhat of a likeably rebellious approach and slight defiance to them, whilst carrying a reputation for being loud; and not living by the "rules" of the British Wrestling establishment. We are now available to hire for private functions, birthday parties; and any kind of event that a professional wrestling show would be considered a fun alternative form of entertainment for.
PTW have been twice featured on seperate Sky Digital channels, which is quite an achievement considering no direct affiliation with any. In 2008, a documentary entitled "Wrestling with Disablity" was shown on Sky, featuring PTW's disabled wrestler (who is in fact, the only disabled wrestler in the United Kingdom) Dan Edge; about his battle with cerebral palsy and his inspiring achievements in both professional wrestling and life itself. In 2009, a documentary was shown upon PTW's profoundly deaf wrestler, Sean Midnight; and his determination to be a role model for the deaf community all over the UK. As you will tell from this paragraph, PTW is a company that does not discriminate; if you're considered to have talent, and something to offer the show, then whatever your situation - you'll be given a chance to prove it.
PTW are registered with the UK branch of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, have done many charity shows for causes such as breast cancer (July 2007), Comic Relief (March 2009), local schools (April 2009); and have also worked with "Wicked!", a film crew based on working with the deaf community; which can be seen on Sky Digital Channel 539 - Virgin Media 233
- Freeview 87. As a promotion they are always expanding into other areas, with PTW shows having taken place in Stevenage in November 2007, and April 2008, PTW shows taking place on a campsite in the Isle of Sheppey, Kent (both in 2008 and 2009); and three PTW shows having taken place in Yorkshire in 2008. In something quite groundbreaking, PTW have working relationships with the SHWA (Southern Hemisphere Wrestling Alliance), in Australia, WSA (Wrestling School Austria), in Austria; and other promotions worldwide.
Power Trip Wrestling shows have featured wrestlers who’ve performed at the highest level, such as at the time WWE-contracted superstars Blackjack Phoenix and Lance Malibu, as well as British talent seen on the most-watched wrestling show in the world, “WWE Raw”, such as Andy Boy Simmonz who was featured on the programme in 2007. In 2008, PTW have featured European talent such as Roberto 'The Bull' Lequimez and Dr Gangreen, American independent talent such as Al-Jihad (from the New York area); and are always open and accessible for outside talent to come in and work for them, as this is a benefit to all concerned, and also the fans! We have also worked with current TNA roster member Brutus Magnus, who is also known as "Oblivion" from the current incarnation of Gladiators on Sky One.
Also in 2008, Power Trip Wrestling undertook their first ever ‘Summer Tour’ in July and August, which led to six shows in six weeks taking place on the Isle of Sheppey, Kent; and our return there in the Summer of 2009.
These shows have seen PTW working with well known child actor Jay Borthwick of BBC/’Eastenders’ fame. Jay is not our only celebrity friend, as we can also include such names as well known sports & celebrity psychic Dean 'Midas' Maynard, and former Luton FC/West Ham United/USA National Team goalkeeper Ian Feuer amongst our fans as well.
PTW proudly displays the best in UK talent, with performers including Jonny Storm, Stixx, El Ligero, Mad Man Manson, and Bingo Ballance having a wider national presence having regularly appeared on Sky Digital; and veterans such as Johnny Kidd and Keith Myatt having a pedigree that extends all the way back to the days of ITV’s “World of Sport” programme.
PTW also provides a platform for the promising future stars of British Wrestling, with the likes of Scott Annette, Richard Parliment, G 'The Ghetto Superstar', Jimmy Havoc; and others who are more impressive with every passing show.
PTW can also boast some unlikely honours, including the aforementioned tour where they worked with BBC ‘Eastenders’ acting star Jay Borthwick.
Other interesting facts include PTW Promoter Petey Staniforth's appearance in Luton Town Football Club's matchday programme (a two page article in December 2008), G 'The Ghetto Superstar's acting career, as he has appeared as an extra on 'Eastenders' and 'The Bill', PTW's primary female wrestler, Tiffany Wantsmore, once won an episode of BBC's 'The Weakest Link'; Mikey the Pikey (Jem Brown) has appeared on programmes on Sky One and Bravo, and is a trained stunt man. One thing for sure at Power Trip Wrestling, is that we're not your generic company; we're all some kind of character and have something 'different' about us!
