Delete - all coverage is WP:ROUTINE or from a primary source. Doesn't meet WP:EVENT. Nikki♥311 08:17, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not notable and reads like puffery. Sourced entirely from primary sources.LM2000 (talk) 09:58, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and Clean up Somebody should take up the job the clean up the article and add sources because they are out there the event was covered by every paper in the U.K. online including the Sun, and was significant for being the highest attended European independent wrestling event of the past two decades. Someone just needs to do the legwork. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.189.16.89 (talk) 16:34, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"the event was covered by every paper in the U.K." - that is absolutely not true. Almost no newspapers in the UK give coverage to pro wrestling, and if they do it is to talk about WWE, not cover local indy events -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 21:05, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Google search reveals NO UK newspaper coverage and only generic sources such as Cage Match. No proof of attendance either. 101.182.45.178 (talk) 10:53, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
