A capacity crowd of 3000 fans will pack Preston Guild Hall for PCW’s biggest ever show, with worldwide stars such as Rob Van Dam, Billy Gunn, Drew Galloway and Ken Anderson scheduled to appear.

PCW has begun touring around the UK and has held sold out shows in Liverpool and Blackpool and later this year will hold shows in Manchester, Wrexham and Bradford. PCW owner Steven Fludder said “PCW has grown at such a rate over the last 12 months with our expansion of shows across the country that iPPV seemed like the next natural step, and what better way to do it than at our biggest ever show. This will allow us to reach a whole new global audience.
“We are excited to partner with 247.tv and we look forward to where this might lead”

Gleed’s Ramblings: PCW has a product that will appeal to all wrestling fans, and this is an exciting new step for the company. From a personal point of view, I’m happy that PCW are growing at such a phenomenal rate as I’ve seen several shows and thoroughly enjoyed myself each time. From an industry point of view, this is another great step in showcasing the British independent scene, which is getting hotter and hotter. I will also be in attendance at this event, and I’m delighted that the show has sold out, as a crowd of 3,000 is highly impressive for a British independent wrestling show and, again, shows the appetite of the British public for a good wrestling product.
Obviously, with this being the very first iPPV from a European company, there’s no telling how well the stream will hold up, however PCW have been smart and offered the show for a low price especially for a HD feed, and included the replay I’m guessing in case there are any issues (or for time zone convenience). With the headline match of the show due to be Sha Samuels against Drew Galloway for the PCW title, and PCW’s track record of highly entertaining wrestling shows, it’s certainly worth giving it a shot at roughly $5.
