New Generation Wrestling, Hull - Saturday 17th April 2010

NGW Presents Full Force - a dynamic night of Pro Wrestling entertainment at the Eastmount Recreation Centre! After the shocking outcome at NGW Anarchy last month, the 'Prima Donna' Nathan Cruz is back on the 17th April, in an attempt to steal Alex Shane's title. 'The Showstealer' Alex Shane has pinfall wins over the likes of Jake 'The Snake' Roberts, Mick Foley, Raven and recent WWE champion Sheamus , and yet this does not seem to faze the likes of Cruz who not only attacked Shane last month but also forced him, barely conscious, to sign a contract for the rights to the name of 'Showstealer.'

However, this obviously bogus contract was not recognised by the NGW management, which begs the question: what will a furious Nathan Cruz have in store for Alex Shane at this month's Full Force? The 6'6, 20 stone Shane is always a personal favourite to watch, and with him against Hull's own, ever confident Cruz, this will be a main event not to be missed!

Also set to appear is Jack Gallagher (the reborn moniker of Jack Toxic) who was named the Number 1 Contender for the NGW Championship last month. However, this was short lived after 'Super Stylin' Sam Bailey entered the ring, mocking Gallagher and challenging him to a Number 1 Contenders match this month.

The winner of this match will go on to face the current NGW Champion Alex Cyanide. Also set to appear: NGW Champion 'Big' Alex Cyanide 'Amazing' Matt Myers Dave Rayne 'Colossus' Kennedy with Richie West Dara Diablo Shinobi Dave Breaks SC Supreme Bam Bam Barton James Tyler 'General Manager' Mark Criteria 'The Voice' David Harold
