In The Studio with Edward George Rose and Perry Hagger

Edward George Rose asked Perry Hagger about his decision to turn pro, linking it to the Great Britain & Ireland Amateur Challenge where the winner receives the opportunity to turn professional. The final four competitors in the tournament are Giant Barak, Gianluca Silenzi, Eddie Kensington and Paul ‘Pinfall’ Peters.

“Turning pro was a huge transition,” former wrestling star Hagger explained. “Training became more intense, with a focus on endurance and discipline. The rules changed too—amateur bouts were about quick scoring, but in pro wrestling, pacing and strategy were crucial.”

Hagger added, “What these athletes gained in tournaments like the Great Britain & Ireland Challenge was priceless. It built the foundation—technique, discipline, and heart—that made all the difference when stepping up to the professional level.”

Exclusive Interview with Eamon Keane

Taped following his tag team match with Arthur T. Turtle against Bulldog Spirit & Gavin Owens on 'On The Mat XII’:

Eamon Keane stood backstage, a mixture of frustration and embarrassment on his face as he leaned against the wall, arms folded tightly. Taking a deep breath, he shook his head, clearly holding back his anger. “Teaming up with that... Turtle,” he muttered, practically spitting out the name, “was humiliating. I mean, me, the ‘Irish Mad Man,’ paired with a guy who’s more likely to hide in his shell than take a hit?”

Keane didn’t hold back, letting everyone know just how insulted he felt by the pairing. “I want him in the ring, one-on-one, no tag teams, no hiding. I’ll do whatever it takes to get that match on the next episode of ‘Out For The Count’—and if he thinks he can just wriggle out of this, he’s got another thing coming. I’ll make sure The Super Channel makes it happen.”

With a fierce look, Keane promised he’d make Turtle regret ever stepping into the ring with him.
