Show 1 Chuck Mambo vs Rampage Brown Brighton champion Chuck Mambo defends against perhaps his toughest challenger yet in Rampage Brown. Mambo is the fun-loving, surfer dude champion; Rampage is the hulking, bruising challenger. This should be an intriguing clash of both attitudes and wrestling styles. The champ’s forte is mat wrestling, and…

On Saturday 24th August, the company that redefined British Strong Style will take on our French cousins in Paris. Association Les Professionnels Du Catch will start their schedule earlier than usual in order to host PROGRESS. This is a big opportunity for both companies. For PROGRESS, it will be another notch on their belt of countries performed in. For APC, lesser-known on the world stage, this show might well be one that puts them on the map.…

Welcome one, welcome all – everyone is welcome! Welcome back to the latest edition of The PROGRESS Prerogative (after a bit of a gap). Week by week, we will review each PROGRESS wrestling chapter in chronological order. It’s the first show I’ll be reviewing after Mark Blake did such good work on the first four Chapters.
