In the business of pro wrestling big men are a dime a dozen so what stands out about Joshua Bishop? Well, according to Cagematch.net, Bishop has less than a hundred matches to his name - and yet moves in the ring like he's a twenty year vet. 

Bishop told me it's probably closer to 200 matches, however ... but that doesn't change the fact that he's well ahead of his peers at just 23 years old.

But Matthew Justice isn't a pushover, and knows Bishop very well. Justice defeated Bishop for the AIW Title at the end of last year; a month after taking Bishops AIW Intense title.

In the previous four singles matches under the AIW banner, Bishop and Justice are tied up, 2-2.

Justice is coming off an amazing performance at AAW's "AAW_Alive" show, where he threw around a dude called Manders, an impressive feat in deed.

"It will be the most intense and most likely violent matches of the collective," Bishop told me. "Most likely the year," he continued. 


"I legitimately hate Justice with a passion and I’m ready to rock on Friday night and be back on top at AIW"




On the other side of time, Alex Shelley looks to hold on to this current resurgance of his career, facing two gentleman ready to take the spotlight for good.

Shelley, coming off a victory over Kylie Rae for the BLP Championship and then winning Turbo Graps 16, faces Lee Moriarty & Tre Lamar.

Ask 10 indie wrestling fans and wrestlers themselves, and nine out of ten of them will tell you Moriarty is the best pound for pound wrestler on the independent scene right now.

Moriarty handed Lamar a defeat at last months Warrior Wrestling Stadium series match, so you know Lamar has that on his mind heading into this huge three-way battle.



Every generation has a fued that stands the very test of time - and while this is only the second match between The Karate Man & Tom Lawlor, the fued has had a myriad of moments forever etched in the lineage of professional wrestling.

In their last meeting, a referee's decision at AIW's "I Assure You, We're Open!", Lawlor actually killed Karate Man - well, at least, he thought he did.

The Karate Man caught the fancy of the wrestling universe - it will be interesting to see how far he'll go to avenge his defeat at the hands of "Filthy" Tom Lawlor.
