Charlotte Welcomes Back DPW Super Battle
Charlotte, get ready for an electrifying night! The excitement in the air is palpable as DEADLOCK Pro Wrestling (DPW) rolls into town for their highly anticipated show, Super Battle, at the Grady Cole Center on October 13, 2024. It’s been nearly two years since the wrestling promotion last graced Charlotte with its presence, and fans are more eager than ever to witness the action-packed showdown!
What’s DPW All About?
If you’re not familiar with DPW, let me fill you in! DPW has quickly established itself as one of the leading independent wrestling promotions in the U.S. since its inception in 2021. Think of the raw energy and spirit from the early 2000s when Ring of Honor was the talk of the town, and you’ll have a sense of the thrilling performances that DPW brings to the ring. With an impressive roster of talent and exciting partnerships with wrestling promotions in Japan, this isn’t just another wrestling event; it’s a celebration of athleticism, creativity, and storytelling.
Main Event Showdown
The spotlight will shine brightly on the main event, where the DPW Worlds Champion, Calvin Tankman, will face off against the DPW Carolina Classic 2024 winner, Jake Something. Tankman, affectionately known as the ‘Heavyweight Hustle’, has been a dominant force in DPW, holding the championship for over 300 days and racking up an impressive eleven title defenses. It’s not just about strength; Tankman embodies power, resilience, and sheer will.
But don’t count out Something! He’s a well-rounded competitor known for his size and agility, which gives him a fighting chance against Tankman’s brute strength. Fans are buzzing with excitement, as this showdown between two titans promises to be a nail-biter!
A Clash of Generations
Tanaka, well-known for his hardcore style and time in Extreme Championship Wrestling, may have the upper hand when it comes to experience, but Priest’s determination and skill could lead to a shocking upset. Wrestling enthusiasts will be eagerly watching to see if Priest can rise to the occasion or if Tanaka will showcase why he’s a legend in the sport.
The Full Card
The excitement doesn’t stop with just the main event! The night will feature other highly anticipated matches, including:
- Violence is Forever and BK Westbrook vs. Lykos Gym and Leon Slater
- Emi Sakura and Alex Windsor vs. Hyan and Danni Bee
