Don\u2019t call this a comeback – but with this being the last show before the 13th Anniversary\/Global Wars double-header, it\u2019d be remiss to drop by, particularly since we\u2019ve got the last knockings of this year\u2019s Great British Tag League.<\/p>\n
Going into today\u2019s show we had a straight shoot-out in block A – if the Grizzled Young Veterans avoid defeat, they\u2019re through to the finals on Saturday; but a win for the Cowboy Way mean they\u2019ll take that spot after having their three matches inside seven days. In block B, it\u2019s a little more of \u201cG1 block finals day\u201d about it – if Connor Mills and Jay Joshua avoid defeat against the Sons of Southampton, then they take the block. Should they lose, we\u2019ll be looking at who wins the CPF vs. Trew & Lacey match, with a CPF win there giving us a three-way tie instead of the Sons going through. Got that?<\/p>\n
Anyway, we\u2019re at the 1865 in Southampton for this, with commentary coming from Dave Bradshaw and Gideon Grey\u2026 joining the show in progress since technical issues lost the first 40 minutes of the stream.<\/p>\n
Zozaya vs. James Ellis<\/strong> Great British Tag League Block B: Mark Trew & Kieron Lacey vs. CPF (Danny Black & Joe Lando)<\/strong> Trew and Lacey were in control as we joined this one, with Gideon chiming in with a suggestion for how CPF could make the finals without listing a finger. A missed Aim Assist from Trew and Lacey gave Lando an opening to make the tag out, with Danny Black running wild en route to a standing Spanish Fly for a near-fall.<\/p>\n A Clash Bomb from Danny Black forces a near-fall as CPF kept going, at least until a reverse \u2018rana from Trew countered a FIJ as Kieron Lacey almost wiped out CPF on the floor. Mark Trew\u2019s Sasuke special was even scarier, but he shakes it off to hit the Gravedigger double-team for a near-fall.<\/p>\n A wild shooting star press\/neckbreaker combo on Lacey forces a near-fall for CPF, but one last turnaround has Kieron Lacey snatch the win with a piledriver\u2026 with Will Kaven\u2019s interference preventing Black from kicking out. That eliminates CPF, which means both blocks come down to a straight shoot-out.<\/p>\n Emersyn Jayne vs. Anita Vaughan<\/strong> An even start to this one saw Vaughan and Jayne exchange pinning attempts before Jayne\u2019s crossbody was caught and turned into a fallaway slam. Commentary spent the early part of this talking up Anita\u2019s history elsewhere with Safire Reed, and the still-standing offer to join the Cut Throat Collective.<\/p>\n Vaughan heads outside and gets met with the dropkick through the ropes, turning the match around as the Scot managed to control proceedings for a spell. Rolling Anita through into a chokehold almost forces the stoppage, but Anita powers up to her feet before swivelling Jayne around for an impressive deadlift suplex.<\/p>\n From the restart, clotheslines and dropkicks from Vaughan saw her pull ahead, only for a quick turnaround to allow Jayne to come back in with a Shadowfax baseball slide German suplex. Emersyn\u2019s take on a slingshot cutter\u2019s next, but it\u2019s not enough as she instead hung up Vaughan on the ropes ahead of an apron PK that\u2019s countered out of.<\/p>\n Back inside, Vaughan\u2019s sitout powerbomb almost wins it, only for Jayne to pull her in for a bridging German suplex on her knees. It\u2019s to no avail though as a Ki Krusher swings it back for AV, before one last turnaround allowed Jayne to get the win with the Jig \u2018n\u2019 Tonic – a good back and forth outing, but at least on the stream the crowd didn\u2019t sound that much into it. ***<\/p>\n My feed wobbles as we\u2019ve got Safire Reed out afterwards as the campaign to get Anita onboard continued\u2026<\/p>\n We\u2019ve got a video promo from Kelly Sixx, who told us that he\u2019d given himself til the end of this year to get a shot in Rev Pro otherwise he\u2019d retire. He\u2019s got his booking, and for those of us who were in the Cockpit back in the day\u2026 bring on the wall!<\/p>\n Kelly Sixx vs. Luke Jacobs<\/strong> After getting dumped on his arm, Sixx tried to mount a comeback, only to get charged through by Jacobs, who followed up with chops and forearms in the corner a la Ishii\u2026 but it felt early on that Luke wasn\u2019t quite having to go at full pelt here.<\/p>\n A rear naked choke from Jacobs is eventually broken out of, but Sixx has to head outside to make a mark, avoiding Luke\u2019s charge before throwing him into the corner as a set-up for a TKO-like stunner. Sixx adds a swinging DDT before\u2026 he ran into a simple forearm from Jacobs to stem the tide.<\/p>\n An overhead kick from Sixx just earns him a pop-up powerbomb and a Boston crab from Jacobs\u2026 who transitions into a bulldog choke before things ended in the ropes. Absorbing more chops, Sixx fired back, at least until a Jacobs lariat and sheer-drop brainbuster landed for a near-fall.<\/p>\n Anticipating another lariat, Sixx blocks before hitting a Big Ending into a cutter\u2026 only to run into another lariat as Jacobs put the brakes on things. Another chop from Jacobs knocks Sixx off the top rope\u2026 and after kicking out from a pumphandle tombstone and yet another lariat to the back of the head, a rear naked choke forces the stoppage. This one told a good story with Jacobs underestimating Sixx, but as both men raised their game it was clear by the end that Jacobs was the proverbial cut above. Hopefully this isn\u2019t another one and done (for now) here for Sixx\u2026 ***<\/p>\n Post-match, Jacobs told Sixx he had to work his way back up the card in Rev Pro, then ordered him out of the ring\u2026 Sixx didn\u2019t go, so Ethan Allen booted him in the head. Ethan took the mic and displayed how poorly he took the Young Guns\u2019 elimination from the Great British Tag League.<\/p>\n Aluna vs. Jane Nero<\/strong> Nero had a bright start to the match, but Aluna hit back with a low dropkick for an early two-count as Gideon on commentary was on a tear. Blocking a Tiger Feint kick, Nero\u2019s able to hit Aluna with an uppercut in the ropes, only for her knee to buckle, forcing a delayed stoppage. An unfortunate ending to Nero\u2019s debut, and hopefully she\u2019s not out for too long.<\/p>\n Great British Tag League Block A: Cowboy Way (1 Called Manders & Thomas Shire) vs. Grizzled Young Veterans (Zack Gibson & James Drake)<\/strong> Shire had a good start, working over Gibson\u2019s left arm before a separation led to both men eventually tagging out. There\u2019s a cheapshot from Drake after the tag, as he looked to wind up the cowboys\u2026 but that just yielded shoulder tackles before Drake caught Manders with a suckerpunch.<\/p>\n Manders responded with a shoulder tackle, while Thomas Shire\u2019s clothesline made sure Drake couldn\u2019t stay on the apron too long licking his wounds. A blind tag brings in Zack Gibson, but there\u2019s no change in fortunes, with Thomas Shire coming in to hit a sidewalk slam before Gibson managed to fight out of the cowboy corner as the former tag champions turned the match on its head. A double clothesline puts down Drake and Gibson after he\u2019d charged through a double-team clothesline, while an overhead suplex sent Drake into Gibson. Manders is back for an avalanche powerslam, but Shire\u2019s return coincided with a resurgence for the GYV, with a deadlift Saito suplex from Gibson almost winning it.<\/p>\n Shire\u2019s lined up for the Grit Your Teeth, but he avoids it as we instead got a powerbomb\/clothesline combo from the Cowboys for a near-fall. All that led to a stand-off as all four men wheeled away on each other\u2026 the Cowboys looked to pull ahead, but Drake and Gibson kick for the legs as duelling submissions were locked in. Shire forces out of the Shankly Gates, before Manders got caught with the Grit Your Teeth out of nowhere.<\/p>\n Gibson can\u2019t quite follow up though, accidentally lariating Drake before a Manders lariat and a Shire UFO led to one final lariat on James Drake\u2026 and that\u2019s an unbeaten record in the block as the Cowboy Way book their spot in next Saturday Great British Tag League final. As for the match, I just wish this crowd would audibly react more to certain acts between the bells\u2026 but it is what it is. Good match, but we\u2019ve not got long to wait for news\u2026 ***<\/p>\n The Young Guns are out – and get kicked in the bollocks as the GYV were still a little sour over the perceived lack of respect that they were shown in Wolverhampton last month. Gibson took the mic and noted that while they\u2019re out of the Great British Tag League, they\u2019ll take a shot at the Young Guns at Global Wars, since they beat them at Summer Sizzler.<\/p>\n Harry Milligan vs. Ricky Knight Jr.<\/strong> Harry had to avoid a charge at the bell, before his chop barely registered on Ricky. Shades of Mad Kurt. A tijeras goes nowhere, but Harry\u2019s able to escape a powerbomb before he just got steamrollered into by RKJ.<\/p>\n Grabbing Harry by his tracksuit, RKJ launched him across the ring, before Harry got lit up with overhand chops in the ropes and at ringside. The one-way traffic continued, with Harry kicking out of a volley to the back before he got hung up in the ropes for a draping DDT\u2026 but Harry\u2019s able to fight back with a Sha Spinebuster before what looked like a Destino was thwarted as RKJ turned it into the Fire Thunder Driver.<\/p>\n A second one followed, planting Harry into the mat for a forced near-fall. Wash, rinse, repeat, before shots to the back of the head from RKJ forced the referee to wave it off. Exactly what you expected this would be, in about the same time. **\u00bd<\/p>\n Post-match, RKJ took the mic and blamed what happened to Harry on Sha Samuels, before performing some percussive maintenance on the Rev Pro mic. It worked. Ricky then turned his barrels to Leon Slater, taking shot at him for being over in TNA rather than here, before promising to end Sha Samuels career next Saturday.<\/p>\n There\u2019s one more Fire Thunder driver for Harry, just to underline everything.<\/p>\n Great British Tag League Block B: Connor Mills & Jay Joshua vs. Sons of Southampton (David Francisco & JJ Gale)<\/strong> Things got heated from the off, and the match quickly spilled outside with Mills and Joshua taking some dives into the aisle. Unlike in Berlin, we don\u2019t have split-screen view here as the match spread around ringside, leading to Connor Mills tying up Francisco\u2019s legs around the ring post for a dropkick to the knee.<\/p>\n Francisco went down after that, but ended up fighting the contenders as he got carried to the back – leaving Gale on his lonesome. It went poorly as Mills and Joshua were allowed to combine with a kick and overhead suplex as quick-fire tags ensured that Gale had to wait for any openings to emerge.<\/p>\n Of course, when he made the most of it, Gale almost stole the win with a roll-up on Joshua, before a springboard double Gale Force left everyone laying. There\u2019s the cue for Francisco to hobble out and tag into the match, where he looked to be a step ahead of Mills and Joshua, polishing off the pair with a double jump double clothesline.<\/p>\n Francisco keeps going with a poke to the eye and a ripcord clothesline to Joshua, then a brainbuster to Mills for a near-fall. A finger snapper from Mills stopped all that as Gale gets a blind tag in, allowing them to hit a Doomsday Cyclone Uppercut on Mills for a very near-fall. After a backslide, Mills wiped out Gale with a knee strike, then brought back Joshua\u2026 but that exchange ends with a headbutt to counter a Gale Force en route to a two-count for the Welshman.<\/p>\n Mills and Joshua continue to pour it on as Francisco was down on the floor\u2026 Francisco\u2019s back to make a save, but he\u2019s sent back outside again as Gale remained the target, but again Francisco helps out by shoving the rope towards Gale\u2019s outstretched hands to break a submission. Unimpressed, Mills just leathers Francisco and Gale with kicks until Gale had enough\u2026 sparking a two-on-one on Mills.<\/p>\n That quickly built up into a Ruckus from Francisco, then a senton bomb from Gale on Mills\u2026 but a Joshua piledriver breaks up the resulting cover. Another tornado sequence ends with Mills getting rudely curb stomped, before the Francisco Force was avoided by Mills\u2026 Francisco takes the shot, before he pulled out the ref to save Gale\u2019s bacon.<\/p>\n Back inside, Mills\u2019 charge gets redirected to send him into the ring post, before David Francisco\u2019s tag in led to him almost snatching the win with an inside cradle. A diving kick spins Mills to the ground, but the follow-up goes awry as Mills returned with a big ol\u2019 rebound lariat, then an ankle lock, wrapping himself around Francisco who went out for the stoppage. That finish deflated the Southampton crowd, who had their heart set on a Francisco win, but that wasn\u2019t to be. We\u2019ve got Mills & Joshua against the Cowboy Way in the finals on Saturday, and that should be a heck of a match for those there live.<\/p>\n Post-match, Connor Mills called out the Cowboy Way as the quartet scrapped, in spite of referees and Contenders coming out to break it up, before cooler heads eventually prevailed to end the evening.<\/p>\n This was a solid show to wrap up Rev Pro\u2019s \u201cin front of a crowd\u201d build for their Anniversary weekender – which pretty much guarantees a boat load of Twitter and YouTube posts to round out the cards in the coming days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It\u2019s the last stop before the 13th Anniversary weekend – so Rev Pro\u2019s headed to the south coast to wrap up the Great British Tag League.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":12944,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"Revolution Pro Wrestling Live in Southampton 37 (August 17, 2025) recap - It\u2019s the last stop before the 13th Anniversary weekend - so Rev Pro\u2019s headed to the south coast to wrap up the Great British Tag League.","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[690,6,782],"tags":[4776,6981,6530,1666,7128,6355,5611,2029,6665,2708,6817,6575,6825,4726,4665,4052,1297,6815,3132,7127,4727,6772,743,4053,7117,5098,6923],"class_list":["post-28697","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-european-indies","category-reviews","category-revolution-pro-wrestling","tag-1-called-manders","tag-aluna","tag-anita-vaughan","tag-connor-mills","tag-cowboy-way","tag-cpf","tag-danny-black","tag-david-francisco","tag-emersyn-jayne","tag-grizzled-young-veterans","tag-harry-milligan","tag-james-ellis","tag-jane-nero","tag-jay-joshua","tag-jj-gale","tag-joe-lando","tag-kelly-sixx","tag-kieron-lacey","tag-live-in-southampton","tag-live-in-southampton-37","tag-luke-jacobs","tag-mark-trew","tag-rev-pro","tag-ricky-knight-jr","tag-sons-of-southampton","tag-thomas-shire","tag-zozaya"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p73vbt-7sR","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/backbodydrop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/revpro-generic-1200px.jpg?fit=1200%2C498","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/backbodydrop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28697","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/backbodydrop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/backbodydrop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/backbodydrop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/backbodydrop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28697"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/backbodydrop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28697\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28700,"href":"http:\/\/backbodydrop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28697\/revisions\/28700"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/backbodydrop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12944"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/backbodydrop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28697"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/backbodydrop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28697"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/backbodydrop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28697"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nThis one\u2019ll need to wait for the VOD to go up, since Stripe and the rest of the Gremlins were hard at work here.<\/p>\n
\nThis is where we joined on the live feed, quickly followed by Gideon having a pop at referee Chris Hatch for his officiating.<\/p>\n
\nThis was the first time we\u2019ve seen Emersyn since she came up short to Safire Reed last month in that contendership tournament\u2026<\/p>\n
\nThat video package earned Kelly a good reaction, but he\u2019s got a big test on his hands here\u2026<\/p>\n
\nIt\u2019s a Rev Pro debut for Nero, as we were spared the Blutsbr\u00fcder music here\u2026<\/p>\n
\nIt\u2019s win or bust for Cowboy Way, with Manders having brought the wXw Unified World Wrestling title belt with him\u2026 and Shire a healthy dislike of red and white stripes.<\/p>\n
\nA Dragon screw to Manders as he came through the ropes led to the start of an extended spell of pressure from the GYV, featuring a suplex into the ropes from Gibson, which ensured Manders\u2019 legs were compromised for a while. Gibson\u2019s bow and arrow hold instantly goes into the ropes\u2026 but we\u2019ve a turnaround as Thomas Shire got the tag and ran wild with high knees.<\/p>\n
\nHarry had issued an open challenge for this show two weeks ago\u2026 but RKJ answered it, which has everyone expecting a real squash here.<\/p>\n
\nThe winners of this one go through to take on the Cowboy Way on Saturday\u2026 and the Sons of Southampton have a new custom theme, which some may say sounds a little AI.<\/p>\n
