Wrestle Rampage REVOLUTION Results (09/06/2018)

The annual mid-year REVOLUTION supershow took place this past weekend and if you missed it… we are vigorously shaking our fingers at you in disappointment. However we here at Wrestle Rampage HQ believe in second chances, so here are all of the happenings from the event, which you can also watch from just $4.99 through our Vimeo OnDemand channel. In saying that, if you don’t want spoilers, you probably shouldn’t scroll down.

 

The Link & Dean Experiment fails

This was supposed to be Link Barnett’s resurgence in the cruiserweight division. A big win over current Cruiserweight Champion Mike Boomer and his partner Kazaran Crowe was a surefire way to earn a rematch for his former crown. However it wasn’t to be with Barnett’s teammate Dean Valente going down to Boomer, 1-2-3.

 

Exit Light. Enter Nightmare. 

The unhinged ‘Nightmare’ Tyler Trench picked up a dominant win over the young lion, ‘Sniper’ Nick Golfis. Is there any stopping the big man’s momentum?

 

The Battle of the Robbys

In what was an absolute dream match, Robby Heart picked up a major victory over the buzz-worthy Robbie Eagles. Seriously catch the event on Vimeo for this match alone! Surely this puts Robby Heart closer to a shot at his record-breaking, 3rd Australian National Championship? Well we presume snatching that record was his main motive for targeting the also 2-time former champ Damian Slater. Slater is nearing the end of his suspension, and by all reports, isn’t willing to let the past 5 months of torment go, so we’ll have to wait and see where this leads.

 

Let. Them. Fight.

Ok ok… if the Heart v Eagles match wasn’t enough for you… THIS match is one you must experience! The rubber match of a multiple match-of-the-year rivalry that has now featured 3 of the most incredibly hard-hitting, pure pro wrestling battles that you may ever see on Australia soil. In the end it was Jonah Rock who KO’d the ‘Punchdrunk’ AJ Istria, firmly placing himself right back in the Australian National Championship picture. For Istria, it’s back to the drawing board, but ultimate respect for not backing down from the ‘King of Monsters,’ regardless of his means. Expect to see Istria back in the swing of things soon… once he wakes up from his slumber.

 

The makeshift team upset the Vanity trio.

An on-fire Tommy Knight, returning Pat Graham and in-form Rufio came together and seemed to find the code that breaks the seemingly unstoppable Vanity Inc. of Havok, Big Willy Gibson & Corey Adams. Once again, the young protege Adams seemed to cop most of the blame.

 

Viva La Rat Daddy Revolution!

…is what we hope to be one day yelling, but unfortunately Rat Daddy was unable to dethrone Gorgeous Greg and take his Australian National Championship. In saying that, Rat Daddy certainly stepped up to the plate and put in a performance of a lifetime. I mean, who else has ever seen someone do a shoe-y followed by a New Jack-esque balcony dive (Schoolies aside)? Alas Gorgeous Greg rolls on to a high stakes rematch with the man he took the championship from in 2017, Jonah Rock!

Quick Results:

• Mike Boomer & Kazaran Crowe def. Dean Valente & Link Barnett
• Tyler Trench def. Nick Golfis
• Robby Heart def. Robbie Eagles
• Jonah Rock def. AJ Istria
• Rufio, Tommy Knight & Pat Graham def. Vanity Inc.
• ‘Gorgeous’ Greg def. Rat Daddy to retain the Australian National Championship (3rd title defence)

 

The next event has been set:

Wrestle Rampage presents ‘SIMPLY THE BEST’ on Saturday, July 7th @ Fowlers Live, Adelaide CBD (18+). Already confirmed is our Australian National Championship main event in which ‘King of Monsters’ JONAH ROCK will attempt to regain the title from current champ ‘Gorgeous’ GREG GRAHAM!

Tickets available shortly via www.moshtix.com.au.

WR Revolution News: 6-MAN TAG TEAM MATCH

Until the closure of 2016, Wrestle Rampage was run by a long-term rivalry between TMDK and THE BROTHERHOOD. From the ashes of that feud came what is now known as VANITY INC. It was ‘Big’ WILLY GIBSON and ‘Gorgeous’ GREG GRAHAM who formed the stable, taking advantage of the fact that the Wrestle Rampage title picture was now wide open and opportunities were vast. Former BROTHERHOOD member HAVOK joined the crew, and then rookie ‘Heart Throb’ COREY ADAMS became the most recent member.

 

The group have proven to be near unstoppable, often using a power-in-numbers approach. At REVOLUTION on June 9th they will attempt to take down 3 more of the Wrestle Rampage roster in ‘The Prodigy’ TOMMY KNIGHT, the returning PAT GRAHAM and ‘Pirate Slayer’ RUFIO!

 

Can the makeshift team of KNIGHT, GRAHAM & RUFIO do what few before them have been able to do?

WR Revolution News: TYLER TRENCH vs. NICK GOLFIS

With the influx of talented fresh faces exploding on to the scene, it would be forgiven to let young lions such as NICK GOLFIS fly under the radar. However the teenage sensation has been making a name for himself by fighting from the deep end ever since his recent debut, and looks to continue that as REVOLUTION when he battles the much bigger, much more deranged TYLER TRENCH.

 

TRENCH allowed no time for introductions in 2017 when he decided to attack and maim everyone and anyone who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. His biggest victory coming at the recent ROAD TO REVOLUTION when he defeated 2018 Progress World Cup participant EINAR IRONSIDE in a brutal Hardcore Match. ‘The Nightmare’ will be looking to leave another body laying at the conclusion of June 9th, however if there’s one road block, it’s surely ‘The Sniper’s’ deadly lariat which can and will put down even the largest of opponents.

WR Revolution News: RAT DADDY vs. GORGEOUS GREG

You would be hard-pressed to find anyone in Australian wrestling with a rookie year as sensational as RAT DADDY’s. Underhanded-tactics, rule-breaking, all components of what would normally be a despised human being, but with RAT DADDY’s unique touch, he has become arguably the most popular figure that Wrestle Rampage has ever seen.

 

At the recent UPRISING event, RAT DADDY was able to do the unbelievable, winning a #1 Contenders battle royale which guarantees him an Australian National Championship match at REVOLUTION.

 

At ROAD TO REVOLUTION, he did the unthinkable by defeating current Australian National Champion GORGEOUS GREG in tag team action.

 

On June 9th, RAT DADDY will attempt to put the cherry on top and do the unimaginable.

 

They say the world works by the rule of 3’s and if that is true, RAT DADDY walks out of REVOLUTION with the most important piece of gold in the country. However we must never forget that standing in his way is perhaps the biggest rule-breaker of them all. A man who defeated 3 highly accomplished members of TMDK over 3 events, in JONAH ROCK, DAMIAN SLATER and ELLIOT SEXTON. The much larger, much more experienced GORGEOUS GREG, who surrounds himself with countless like-minded and dangerous individuals known as VANITY INC. RAT DADDY will have to wish upon a star, but if anyone can do it, we think he’s the one!

WR Revolution News: JONAH ROCK vs. AJ ISTRIA

With the quality of contests that have taken place in a Wrestle Rampage ring lately, it is no small feat to win Match of the Year. However in 2017 JONAH ROCK and AJ ISTRIA blew away the competition with an epic 40-minute war that not only proved JONAH ROCK as the most unstoppable force in Australian wrestling, but established AJ ISTRIA as a major threat who had been previously overlooked and under-appreciated.

With ROCK winning the first encounter, AJ ISTRIA was able to do the impossible at the recent UPRISING event, by making JONAH ROCK tap to an arm bar. The submission specialist utilised his years of grappling to put away someone who almost doubles him in size.

At REVOLUTION, the rubber match takes place. However this time, it’s right up their alley. No pinfalls, no countouts, no disqualifications. The only way to win is to make your opponent submit, or if they fail to answer the referees count. For the first time ever, we will see a ‘TAPOUT OR KNOCKOUT MATCH’ and the results will not be pretty!

2 of Australia’s elite go to war one last time on June 9th at Port Adelaide’s Waterside Workers Hall! Don’t miss out!

WR Revolution News: DEAN VALENTE & LINK BARNETT vs. MIKE BOOMER & KAZARAN CROWE

A tag team match has been added to June 9th’s REVOLUTION card which will see two unusual pairings align.

On one side we have the cologne-pushing, obnoxiously-infuriating, very-punchable DEAN VALENTE who was on a downhill slide until recently finding his mojo, defeating KAZARAN CROWE in Crowe’s debut at ROAD TO REVOLUTION. They will again find themselves on opposite sides, with CROWE having another crack at gaining his first win in a Professional Wrestling ring.

VALENTE’s partner and former Cruiserweight Champion, LINK BARNETT, recently lost his crown to long-time partner and even longer-time foe MIKE BOOMER, and will be desperately attempting to find his way back in contention. A victory over BOOMER could have major implications for the Cruiserweight Cup picture. 

 

WR Revolution News: ROBBY HEART vs. ROBBIE EAGLES

There’s no doubting it, Pro Wrestling in Australia has become a movement. Countless talent making waves overseas and opening eyes in the process, has become the norm. One could argue that the leaders of this revolution are names such as JONAH ROCK and ROBBIE EAGLES. EAGLES in particular has had an incredible year, wrestling in show-stealing matches for both NEW JAPAN PRO WRESTLING and Californian giants PRO WRESTLING GUERRILLA. Very clearly on the verge of worldwide success, Eagles’ unique and innovative brand of high flying will return to Wrestle Rampage at REVOLUTION and let’s be honest… who knows if it’ll be the last time?

 

His opponent is former 2-time Australian National Champion ROBBY HEART. A man who himself is no stranger to success on the international stage, having competed multiple times in Japan for ZERO1 PRO WRESTLING. HEART has been slowly and convincingly, making his way back up the ranks to a point where he can no longer be denied. His defeat of DAMIAN SLATER just reaffirming the fact that HEART was once the king of this town for a reason.

 

First. Time. Ever! You could call it a dream match. You SHOULD call it a dream match. 2 of Australia’s absolute best will throw down on June 9th with ultimate bragging rights on the line!
