WCPW True Legacy: 10 Awesome Moments
The atmosphere for that True Legacy main event was utterly breath-taking...
Heartfelt and emotional would be two ways to describe the words of Cody Rhodes at the tail end of WCPW True Legacy. Since leaving WWE, Rhodes has been on a mission to once again prove himself as a professional wrestler. There is perhaps no greater man to test those skills against than Kurt Angle.
WCPW management really pulled out all the stops with True Legacy. Held in front of close to 2,500 fans in Manchester, the event featured no less than three title matches. The WCPW Women's, Internet and World Championships were all up for grabs in a Street Fight, singles bout and bitter battle between former tag partners respectively.
As if that wasn't enough, Kurt Angle and Cody Rhodes squared off in the headline slot. This was as real as competition is ever likely to get, Rhodes isn't the only one with something to prove. Ever-professional, Angle has a legacy of his own to uphold.
Surprising appearances, fond farewells and some seriously impressive moves pepper this list.

Let's look at some of the awesome moments True Legacy had in store...
10. Tyler Bate Swings Liam Slater With Johnny Moss On His Back
Despite the outlandish branding, the 'Adam Pacitti Tag Title Tournament' is serious business. Specifically, the tournament will crown new WCPW Tag-Team Champions. Therefore, it's not surprising that every team entering thus far has aimed to assert themselves as the most dominant tandem in the entire company.
For the opening match at True Legacy, Moustache Mountain faced Johnny Moss and Liam Slater. Recently on Loaded, Trent Seven had fought Moss and Tyler Bate had wrestled Slater. That competitive spirit raged on in a Quarter Final outing here.
By far the most impressive moment of the match belonged solely to Bate, the live audience literally couldn't believe what they were seeing. Although carrying Johnny Moss over your back is daunting enough, Bate decided to fell Slater and give him a big swing at the same time.
Spinning round and round, Bate showed unbelievable strength and poise to keep his balance and leave both opponents dizzy. Whilst Moss and Slater did end up coming out on the winning end, this was undeniably awesome from Tyler Bate.
Moustache Mountain may be out of the tournament, but they have a bright future in WCPW.
