Front Row Wrestling returns to our home base at the American Legion on 94 Eastern Ave in Rochester, NH on Saturday, Nov. 15th with a special start time of 7:30 pm.

Main Event: Rematch, 2/3 falls, 1 hour time limit...

Shane Sharp (Challenger, former champion)
-vs-
Justin Shaype (All Star Champion)

After a thrilling match and upset win by Shaype on 10/3 in Rochester, Shaype will put the crown jewel on the line in a rematch with Shane Sharp.

Granite State Title Bout:
"Trouble Walkin'" Tom Kane
-vs-
Matt Spectro

The explosive newcomer upset Panther Martin early in the night on 10/3, then shocked everyone later in the night by winning a three way match involving himself, Sledge and Christian Angers! With momentum like that, Matt Spectro has A LOT to worry about on the 15th of November!

Other announcements...

-FRW will be announcing a December end of the year date and location in the coming week. It will probably be a small venue show (possibly Kingston) and be a very fan friendly, Christmasy "thank you" type of show.

-A return date to the American Legion in Rochester for January is in the works. This will be a very special 2 show day-one in the afternoon, one in the evening. The shows themselves will feature ULTIMATE ENDURANCE-W.

What is ULTIMATE ENDURANCE-W, you may ask? Well...at Front Row Wrestling, we have noticed that there are a few female only wrestling promotions, and that many promotions from time to time feature woman's wrestling as a novelty.

We don't want the women to be thought of as a novelty act. Despite gender, we feel the women are just as capable of having great, quality matches as their male counterparts. There are several woman's titles out there...some that mean something, others that don't. We don't want to step on the toes of those that do mean something and don't want to add to the list of those that don't. At the same time, while we have nothing against good looking women, we promote woman wrestlers (not Divas). So, we have decided to apply the Ultimate Endurance concept to a woman's tournament in 2008.

For those unfamiliar with the tournament, it involves 8 individuals squaring off in traditional tournament style matches. The winners of those matches go on to face each other in a random selection gauntlet match. This has proven to be a very grueling format and has tested the mettle of many of the men in Front Row Wrestling...and we suspect many women wrestlers will be clamoring for a shot to prove themselves in the same way!

The basic format will work as such; on the afternoon show, the first round will take place as the feature matches, mixed in with men's matches including the All Star Title bout for the afternoon's main event. At the night show however, the Granite State Title will be on the line in the semi-main event position and the main event will be the Ultimate Endurance W Gauntlet match. Some would say putting the women on in the main event position is a risk. We say that for years women have been wrongly shut out of main events and it is high time for them to compete for these spots.

A solid date for January is being worked out now, and participants will be announced in the coming weeks-don't miss this landmark event!

New Hampshire's home town promotion!

First, the December show in Kingston was a lot of fun last year. One of my favorite, oddly enough.

A womens tournament? That is absolutely awesome.

Justin Shape vs. Shane Sharpe 2/3 Falls 1 hour time limit....OUTSTANDING!

Wish I could be there...


I will definitley be there in January for both shows for Ultimate Endurance-W! Just a spectacular idea MAV. I have long been a supporter of Women's Wrestling and It'll be great to see it in the unique format that is the Ultimate Endurance.

Extremely curious as to whose going to be in it.

I will level with you. That's doubtful. I have kept Front Row Wrestling alive through the help of a lot of people and fiscal responsible behavior. Adding 8 more people to 2 shows in the same day at the same place is a greater financial risk than I normally take. As much as I respect many of the women wrestlers, I have to think logically.

Exactly how would I justify shipping someone up from say New Jersey, at extra expense to a show already run on a tight budget, for someone that very few people have heard of and would probably draw me an extra 0-4 people? I like you Flair Fanatic, and I mean absolutely no disrespect...but booking one of the WSU or Shimmer Girls from another area so I can up my draw by you and the Ghost doesn't make financial sense.

The only other option is to look to TNA. The only two there who may help with drawing a house would be Awesome Kong and possibly Nikki/Roxxi due to her local connection. I have my doubts that bringing Awesome Kong into a smaller town like Rochester would be worthwhile. Nikki might, but then I also have to consider the headache of booking her and having TNA pull her from local spots because they decided at the last minute they needed her on a house show.

On a local level, who would everyone like to see?

Sarah Blackhart, Vanity Vixxxen, and Mistress Belmont are definites.

I would love to see any of the following:

Sammi Lane, Portia Perez, Ariel, Malia Hosaka, and or Violet Flame.

I would expect mostly the regular New England gals, along w who Mav has already, Vanity, Mistress Belmont, and Miss Blackheart. I wouldnt expect the guy to be "flying in" names from all over. Regardless, FRW's booking and such almost assures it will be a worthy endeavor.

Portia is from waaaay up in Canada, so I don't think that would work too well. Malia is from the west coast I think, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

Sammi & Ariel are great choices. As would be Lexxus.

On a serious note, Lexie Fyfe, Mercedes Martinez, Cindy Rogers, Ariel, and Nikki roxx are all east coasters and would really make a tournament with FRW regulars even that much better

I totally forgot about Cindy Rogers being out this way. As for Mercedes, I had forgotten that she was back from her injury.

Either of those two would be great. additions.

Mercedes I think is in Florida now, and only works for WSU.
Cindy is hurt, as is Alere Little Feather, at least at this time.

my additions to the three Mav has would be
Sammi Lane
Ariel
Nikki
Lexxus
Maybe Angel Orsini, the WSU womens champ

Oh, the logistics of it are silly... you booking someone for a few indy shmucks isnt smart business at all. I figured id ask, though.

I know sometimes ill see some canadian gals come down, or if WWW or ROH is around, Del Ray or Perez might be around, so i figured id ask.

Awesome Kong would be a worthy investment IF you felt she could draw in that area.... shes, well, awesome!

Mav, seriously, my list is good, considering funds. The only one from out of New England is Angel, and her being a major champion down there would add credibility to the field, IMO.

Maybe on a Saturday, that way everyone can hook up & bumb around town for a bit?

Better yet, we could get Mav, Johnny, Flesh, and a few other drunk & take them caroling around town.
