A couple weeks ago in Philippeville, Jean The Butcher told us that he would have to give up his European Championship due to injury. President Salvatore Bellomo then announced that the Championship will be up for grabs in a tournament. It will span several shows and the first round will be on April 11 in Lessines.
Mister Bellomo first made a selection of thirty names to his own discretion. At a later date those names will be put in a hat, and the final sixteen tournament participants will be pulled out. Should a participant no-show or be unable to wrestle due to injury, one of the original thirty wrestlers will take his spot.
Here are the thirty names:
1. BWS Champion Blake Andersen
2. BWS Tag Team Champion Eddie Dark
3. BWS Tag Team Champion Andynamite
