The first wrestler has been announced in Pure Power Wrestling’s 2015 GAUNTLET FOR THE GOLD!

The Primate Silverback is the first competitor named for PPW’s biggest Gauntlet for the Gold match yet to crown the new Pure Power Wrestling Heavyweight Champion.

The 300-lb brute has been a force in Pure Power Wrestling from day one, using his raw power to dominate opponents.

Recently, The Silverback has stood against the One World Empire and, unfortunately, the constant number advantage seemed to be too much for him to overcome.

Silverback is no stranger to the Gauntlet for the Gold, winning the 2014 edition. Now, he hopes to take that experience and turn it in to his first ever championship reign in professional wrestling: the Pure Power Wrestling Heavyweight Championship.

Can “The Primate” overcome four other men in a gauntlet-style match to capture the Championship? Find out LIVE this Saturday at the Boys and Girls Club of Lethbridge when Pure Power Wrestling Presents: GAUNTLET FOR THE GOLD!

Tickets are still available at King Of Trade / Serious Music Centre (Lethbridge), Holiday Bowl and online!

“The All American” Steve Rivers

Pure Power Wrestling is proud to announce that making his debut at Pure Power Wrestling Presents: GAUNTLET FOR THE GOLD will be 23 year professional wrestling veteran “The All American” Steve Rivers!

A fixture in western Canadian wrestling since 1992, “The All American” has wrestled worldwide and captured countless championships.

Rivers will, no doubt, be looking to make in impact in his Pure Power Wrestling debut. A debut that you DO NOT want to miss!

At A Night to Remember, Rick Jules and Chris Perish defeated Bulldog MacBain and The Silverback after Sydney Steele appeared from underneath the ring to hit MacBain with a baseball bat behind the referee’s back.

As a result, the newly-created One World Empire, or OWE, won guaranteed no-cut contracts with PPW, essentially making them untouchable.

However, Massive Damage and Jack Hammer, The Tattooed Terminators, made their presence felt stepping out from the locker room and staring down OWE, making it clear that if they are going to take over PPW, they’ll have to go through the Terminators to do so.
