Anyone who claims they called that ending is a liar!

When WhatCulture announced a brand new wrestling promotion and launched the weekly Loaded show, it was all building towards Built To Destroy. WCPW's first ever feature length offering, the event featured six matches, including bouts for both the ROH World Title and brand new WCPW Championship.

Just seeing this all come to fruition felt like an awesome moment in itself, but the show had more than enough quality to fill out a list. At Built To Destroy, there were matches governing pride and championships, including one whereby the loser would either have to unmask or wear a dress!

The ending certainly came out of left field, and isn't one anybody could have accurately predicted going in. This all sets the scene for the second season of programming on Loaded, leading up to WCPW's next big event.

From shocking turns, broken tables and servants, to a tag-team coming of age, respect and a hellish conclusion, Built To Destroy had something for everyone.


Let's look at the brightest and best moments from the show...

10. El Ligero Forces Martin Kirby To Wear A Dress

One of the most comedic characters in WCPW, Martin Kirby is actually a veteran of the UK scene who is capable of doing more than just playing for laughs. Recently against El Ligero (another stalwart of the British wrestling scene), Kirby has been tremendous value, raising giggles whenever he appears on screen.

His issues with Ligero all led to a big clash to open up Built To Destroy. By order of General Manager Adam Pacitti, Kirby would have to wear a dress if he lost to the masked man. Unthinkably, it wasn't all one-sided, El Ligero would actually lose the mask if he stared at the lights.

That didn't happen, Ligero pinned his foe. Afterwards, when it became clear Kirby wasn't going to honour the agreed stipulation, El Ligero put him out with a sleeper hold and dressed him up in his grandmother's finest.

Suitably embarrassed, Kirby ran out of the arena screaming about the injustice of it all. Meanwhile, the announcers bickered back and forth over whether or not Kirby actually looked quite dapper in his new threads.
