Revolution Pro (Rev Pro) has announced another top bout for their upcoming Summer Sizzler event which takes place Friday August 17th from York Hall in Bethnal Green, London.
Former British Heavyweight Champion and legend of the New Japan Pro Wrestling promotion Tomohiro Ishii will be taking on former PROGRESS ATLAS and wXw Unified World Champion WALTER.
Ishii recently lost his British Heavyweight title against Minoru Suzuki at the Strong Style Evolved this past weekend, after the match WALTER appeared and attacked the ‘Stone Pitbull’ to set up this huge bout at the ‘Sizzler.
WALTER has been heavily rumored for a move to WWE over the past year, his work as part of the Ringkampf stable in wXw and his breakout year on the UK scene for the likes of PROGRESS have earned him worldwide acclaim and a chance to appear for PWG and quite possibly New Japan in the near future.
Before he boarded his plane back to Japan, Tomohiro Ishii told RevPro management he wanted to do 2 things. 1. Get his belt back. 2. Get his hands on Walter. On Friday August 17th Ishii gets the chance to tick one of those items off his list. https://t.co/LhHedYxXS8 pic.twitter.com/ZvzJsjoltp
