Santa Claus made a surprise appearance at Pro Wrestling Scotland’s latest show in Lanarkshire, bringing festive cheer and action-packed entertainment to the audience. The event, held at the Knights of St Columba venue in Moodiesburn, was described as the promotion’s “biggest show of the year” and was met with great enthusiasm by fans.
One of the highlights of the night was Santa himself getting involved in the action, delivering a big right hand to a dastardly villain who attempted to ruin the festive mood. Wrestler Ryan Gordon, also known as ‘RPG’, shared his experience of facing off against Santa and the crowd’s reaction to the thrilling showdown.
The evening saw a mix of intense matchups, with PWS World Heavyweight Champion Krieger making his final appearance for the company and successfully defending his title against Skeikh El Sham. However, the night took a surprising turn when BT Gunn emerged victorious in a match for a title shot and went on to defeat Krieger, ending his two-year reign as champion.
The event also featured other talented wrestlers, with Daz Black retaining his PWS Openweight title and continuing his impressive three-year-plus reign. PWS, which started just before the Covid-19 pandemic, has seen significant growth and success, with plans to nurture the next generation of wrestling talent through their training school in Airdrie.
