10 WCPW Championship Rumble Facts You Need To Know

3. Martin Kirby Gets His First WCPW Title Shot Since October

Martin Kirby's road to the WCPW Title has been as colourful as his in-ring outfits, but it's far from over. Since being screwed out of the chance to become champion at Refuse To Lose by then-General Manager Adam Pacitti, Kirby has actually gone on to become GM himself.

Resisting the temptation to book himself in high profile matches when in office, the cult-like hero to WCPW fans has since retired his pink suit and returned to full time wrestling. Now, the bald-headed warrior prepares for his first crack at the WCPW Title since last October, and he shouldn't have to worry about Pacitti's influence.

It also shouldn't be forgotten that Kirby has a guaranteed shot at the WCPW Title as backup. By winning a 'Magnificent Seven' match at Bulletproof, he ensured a one-on-one shot at the strap any time he liked, and that could come into play even if Kirby is eliminated from the Championship Rumble at No Regrets.

Drew Galloway's night could be a long one even if he comes out on top, heaping more pressure on his broad shoulders.
