Welterweight Wrestling Weekly #1: What Is Welterweight Wrestling?, Confirmed WW3 Stars (Photos), Ace Perry v Nate Wings (Full Match), More

Stars Confirmed For Welterweight Wrestling 3 – Sunday, April 29 on PPV

PAUL LONDON –  One of the most innovative and influential cruiserweights in history enters a new, exciting weight class to test himself against the next generation of wrestling’s rising athletic, so-called undersized stars. Paul began wrestling in 2000, and through his time in Ring of Honor, where his daredevil style earned him the chant “Please Don’t Die”, to WWE, where he broke records during his tag team title reign with Brian Kendrick, to re-inventing himself again in Lucha Underground, to touring dozens of countries across the world, Paul’s passion, commitment, and desire for professional wrestling is equal to, or surpasses, anyone you can name. Now, in Welterweight Wrestling, London will be surrounded by an entire roster of passionate athletes looking to create a name for themselves at his expense. Will “The Intrepid Traveler” be prepared for the test that awaits him in arguably the hungriest locker room in the industry?

“The New Age Plague” JASON GORY –  The current reigning Welterweight Champion spreads his pain and pestilence across the Welterweight landscape once again. As leader of The Culmination, with sadistic disciples like Atticus Cogar in tow, Gory captured the Welterweight Championship in the main event of Welterweight 2, when he defeated Ace Perry after a miscue between Perry and New #1 Contender Nate Wings. Now, Gory is slated to be challenged by Wings in one of the main events of Welterweight 3. Can Gory’s mantra of “Infect the World” continue to overtake Welterweight Wrestling or will Nate Wings fly high enough to alter the direction of Welterweight Wrestling moving forward?

NATE WINGS –  Nate is the smallest Welterweight on the roster at just 130 pounds, but that hasn’t stopped him from becoming one of the most dynamic, popular, and successful athlete on the entire brand. From lasting until the final four in our inaugural Welterweight Championship Tournament, to redeeming himself by winning the 7-Way Elimination Scramble at Welterweight 2 to become #1 Contender to the Welterweight Championship! Nate gets his opportunity against “The New Age Plague” Gory live at Welterweight 3! Can the man some call the embodiment of the Welterweight spirit become the flag-bearer of the movement he’s so synonymous with?

RORY GULAK –  A self-described “Amazing” athlete, and brother of WWE 205 Live’s Drew Gulak, Rory brought an unmatched confidence to the 7-Way Elimination Scramble #1 Contender’s Match at Welterweight 2. While an escalating war with Ophidian served to take both men’s focus away from the goal at hand, Rory returns on April 29, no doubt fully prepared to bask in the spotlight even longer this time around.

SHAWN PHOENIX –  The “Firebird” and “Punk Rock Pyromaniac” returns to PPV after a successful outing at Welterweight 2, where he teamed with Alex Jordan to best Eye Candy Elliott & Tyler Nitro. Welterweight 1 was the site of the first-ever teaming between Phoenix & Jordan, so the brand holds special personal significance to them both. However, the duo has not been on the same page in our sister brand in recent months. Trust issues have been growing between the two, and there seems to be no easy fix in sight. Will this play into the kind of night Shawn Phoenix has at Welterweight 3?

See all of these stars and more LIVE on Sunday, April 29 at 5pm EST, as we present Welterweight Wrestling 3 from historic Turner’s Hall in Cleveland, OH! Join us in person or watch from anywhere in the world on FITE! More information is available at WelterweightWrestling.com!
