More British wrestlers heading to the States
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---
I have just been informed that two more British wrestlers will be taking
a trip across the proverbial pond in an attempt to make fame in America. This
time it's EWW's (Extreme World Warfare) Dominator, better known as Stu Ace,
and Fighting Spirit, other wise known as Lee Edwards. The two will be flying
out for a total of eight months whilst coming back to the UK to take part in
other wrestling events. In the States, they will be working for NWA 2000, the
UWF, plus another promotion. I have personally watched Stu and Lee wrestle,
and they certainly deserve this wonderful opportunity. Once again, everyone at
Rebel Productions would like to wish them the best of luck on their trip.
