Disclaimer: This is one of the greatest UK wrestling cards, nay worldwide wrestling cards, of 2014 and it is all free.
Before we get to the show, a quick rundown of events. Progress Wrestling (http://www.progresswrestling.com/ or @ThisIs_Progress) hosted an event on 18th May at the Electric Ballroom in Camden, but it was plagued with some technical issues. Rather than try to sell the show on DVD or online, the company made the decision to host it free of charge on YouTube.
Crazy.
The quality of this video can only be described as high. There is no hard camera, but I didn't feel the ringside cameras missed anything. There was only a couple of "footage interrupted" parts and hardly any of the audio problems they mentioned. The commentary was very good in my opinion, sparse but insightful. I honestly felt it was still heads and shoulders above a lot of Indy products.
As for the matches their selves, from the opening bout of Rampage Brown v Darrell Allen to the main event of Jimmy Havoc (c) v Mark Andrews for the PROGRESS title, there was not a dull moment. Taking in both amazing comedy and mat wrestling in Michael Gilbert v Eddie Dennis, a 4-way Tag match, El Ligero v Tommy End and Zack Sabre Jr v Prince Devitt, and even more, this was a 2 hours+ stacked card showing the very very best of European wrestling.
I'll stop talking now and let you enjoy the footage.
