After months of hard fought qualifying matches, the stage is set for GPW's critically acclaimed junior heavyweight tournament, the crazy cruiser 8!Eight of Britain's top young talents battle it out, for the chance to walk away with the one of most sought after prizes in British wrestling today and the chance to launch their careers to a whole new level!
Bubblegum
The first to qualify for the tournament at "Keep The Faith" in one of GPWs contenders for MOTY overcoming 3 other competitors - "Super" Sam Bailey, Rupert Holmes and "The Model" Danny Hope.With the huge backing Bubblegum has from the fans it could well spur him on to do great things in this tournament. But will personal rivalries stand in the way? Two members of SIN already in this tournament Bubblegum will be bound to be a target for them.
El Ligero
One of the most loved wrestlers on the UK scene Ligero has faced them all, he was the second man to qualify after beating very tough opposition in Kenzo Richards.Ligero has proved before he has the stamina to go all the way in a tournament designed for cruisers like him.
Going into the tournament with no personal rivalries will also help him remain focussed on advancing and has to be considered as one of the favourites to be crowned champion.
"The Model" Danny Hope
Entry into the CC8 meant so much to The Model he cheated his way into the Last Chance Battle Royal under a mask as "Fashion Dan" and won the match to qualify for the tournament, he then cheated Darkside in a singles match to keep his place in the tournament.His resourcefulness make him another strong favourite to go on to surprise many in this tournament.
Darkside
Overcame 9 others in his debut to win the Last Chance Battle Royal only to be cheated out of the win by Danny Hope.In the singles match that followed Darkside fought once again for a place in the tournament, and Hope again cheated him out of it but Darksides impressive debut was enough for me to allow him to advance.
He is an unknown in the GPW ranks, whoever he faces will struggle to contain him.
Joseph Hayes
The final man to qualify in another MOTY candidate against Spud which had everyone in the Monaco on their feet for the duration.A very testing qualification but Hayes still remains undefeated and to many he will be the favourite in a tournament where just another 3 wins to be crowned champion will be nothing new to him.
Take into consideration fellow SIN member being in the tournament too and Hayes could well be sitting pretty.
The luck of the draw will also play a very important factor into any advances.
What will SIN do if Hayes draws Juice?
Kris Travis
One half of the GPW Tag Team Champions - Kris Travis was one of the Wildcard picks into the tournament and is the only man going into the competition already with a championship.Coupled with the fact Travis will be well rested going into this - he could well be leaving with another championship to his name.
We've seen him perform beyond all expectations in the Rumble, so we know he has the staying power to go all the way!
Juice
Currently one of the best kept secrets in British wrestling Juice is another Wildcard entry.Another relatively unknown as a singles performer in this competition.
After turning on D'Lyrium and leaving WKD to join SIN Juice will have the backing of all his stable mates.
His offence is strong and relentless and winning this tournament would give him the platform as one of the UKs best up and coming stars.
"The Tremendous" Emil Sitoci
The final Wilcard entry, Sitoci makes his GPW debut in the CC8 competition and comes to us with a huge pedigree having wrestled for PWG, IWA:Mid South, CZW, CHIKARA, NAWE Sports, FCW, wXw, CCW, BBW, wZw with a whole host of other promotions across America and Europe. Having won cruiserweight titles already with FCW and wXw, Sitoci comes to GPW to lay claim to the CC8 Championship.Sitoci is a complete unknown in this tournament and has to be considered a favourite to go all the way.
