From the Head Office of 1PW - 7/1/08
Due to a number of factors outside of our control, 1PW has taken the difficult decision to re-shuffle our upcoming event schedule.
We are unable to run the scheduled card “ No Regrets “ on Friday January 25th from the Doncaster Dome. There are several key factors, outside of out control, and completely unforeseeable, that have conspired to make it next to impossible to run the event as planned on that advertised date:
1 ) A logistical issue with the Doncaster Dome, which we have never encountered before, and I am assured, will never encounter again. 1PW has a fantastic relationship with The Doncaster Dome, and in the name of keeping that relationship, and ensuring a great future of Live 1PW Pro Wrestling events at our home arena, the Jan 25th card will have to be changed up.
2 ) We have encountered a totally unforeseeable issue with one of the main attractions for No Regrets. It is sadly completely out of the hands of 1PW, or the talent in question, and it would have prevented said talent from making their contracted appearance on January 25th. After looking into the possibilities of replacing this talent, we came to the conclusion that there was no suitable replacement available given the timescales we have to work with.
Given all this information, we have obviously had to make some tough decisions, and we have pulled together to present the best possible solution for our 1PW fans -
The January 25th Doncaster Dome card will not be presented. The event has been postponed and amalgamated with the April 19th Dome card, for which Jan 25th tickets are good and valid. If you have purchased tickets for No Regrets you will automatically be re-sent April 19th tickets in their place. THE SANDMAN and JERRY LYNN have been re-scheduled to April 19th, and will appear at that card, alongside AJ STYLES, DAVEY RICHARDS, the regular 1PW roster, plus more wrestlers to be announced.
For any fans who have purchased Jan 25th Dome tickets that do not want to use them for April 19th, or for fans who already have tickets for both Jan 25th and April 19th, a full refund will be available. Please e mail stead_ltj@hotmail.com to claim this refund.
We know many fans have already booked travel and hotels for the weekend ( which would have been a Dome show on the Friday and an Underground show on the Saturday ) so bearing that in mind, we have worked overtime to present the best solution we can in the timescale available to us -
Friday January 25th 1PW will still present a Live event in Doncaster, but it will now be at The Granby, meaning that over the weekend we will present back to back shows at The Granby ( Friday and Saturday Night )
To make the best of this situation for our fans, we have pulled out all the stops to ensure this weekend of Underground shows go above and beyond anything you have experienced in The Granby before. 1PW has arranged for ABYSS, 1PW Heavyweight Champion STERLING JAMES KEENAN and ULF HERMAN to all still fly into the UK and make this weekend of shows, with all three appearing on both Jan 25th and Jan 26th.
January 26th was already an announced Underground date ( Underground # 5 ) with tickets on sale via
www.1pwonline.com, and that event still stands exactly as advertised.
January 25th will now be a whole new event, titled “ Still No Regrets “ . 1PW will still bring you this loaded event at regular Underground prices of just £7 General Admission and £12 Front Row.
We realise it is a difficult situation to tell you that tickets you have already purchased for a Dome show on the Friday night are now valid for April, and that you now have to pay out for brand new show tickets to the Friday event at The Granby, but this was, we felt, the fairest way to deal with the situation. We couldn’t expect people to use their No Regrets tickets to get into a Granby show, so the best like for like trade ( considering the two events have been amalgamated with scheduled talent from Jan 25th re signed for April 19th ). We will also be spending way over budget to still bring you International talent for the weekend, and these will be no ordinary Granby shows.
Although this situation is far from ideal, we are approaching the solution with great positivity and optimism. Everyone is this organisation is 100% committed to bringing you two fantastic nights of British Pro Wrestling action come Jan 25th and Jan 26th.
Officials are currently hard at work on the full cards for the entire weekend, including exciting plans for a first time ever situation for both Major singles championships in 1PW, but for today we can reveal that Zebra Kid VS Martin Stone and The Damned Nation Tag Team Championship match ( against a team of 1PW’s selection ) will still take place on Jan 25th, as they would have done at The Dome.
