The three audition stages are done, and this Sunday on Challenge, the UK finals of British Boot Camp 2 will air. These were taped back in August at York Hall in Bethnal Green, London, and will feature sixteen wrestlers in six matches, with judges Samoa Joe, Al Snow and Gail Kim making their decisions based on these matches to wittle the field down to six wrestlers who will travel to the United States. It's not who wins these matches, it's who they feel are the most impressive performers... *El Ligero vs. Noam Dar *Joel Redman & Martin Stone vs. RJ Singh & Richard Parliament *Kay Lee Ray vs. Nikki Storm vs. Kasey Owens vs. Leah Owens *Kris Travis vs. Mark Andrews *Dave Mastiff vs. Rampage Brown *Grado vs. Sha Samuels Without revealing who goes through, I'll still spoil something to a degree... {Spoiler}One match has two wrestlers being put through, and another does not have anyone going through from it. It's fairly obvious who one of the people going through will be, based on the series-long storyline that's developed so far, but without spoiling things, who else do you think goes through from this lot? |

I like how you've got 15 names there who are well known through the UK scene.
And Richard Parliament.

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}One match has two wrestlers being put through, and another does not have anyone going through from it. It's fairly obvious who one of the people going through will be, based on the series-long storyline that's developed so far, but without spoiling things, who else do you think goes through from this lot? Ever since the show has started airing, it's been clear that TNA isn't gonna have more than one KO in the finals, so of course it will be KLR, because she had the sob story of teaching a deaf kid, or something, and because she's been twitter buddies with a lot of KOs, for a long while. It should be Nikki Storm, but since she's only been added to the competition as an afterthought, and TNA needs face KOs who can wrestle... KLR. So that leaves us with Grado, and probably two X-div & two heavyweights going through. X-div is obvious (Dar & White Lightning, aka the two who got praise during the first rounds of auditions), and I'll guess Rampage & Mastiff are going through (which would mean that the four-men tag was either a spectacular trainwreck, or that Mastiff & Rampage blew the roof off the arena) |

So what I didn't know was that Kris Travis was put through instead of Noam Dar, but due to stomach cancer, he had to pull out, and Dar took his place. Such a massive blow when Trav was about to get the biggest opportunity of his career.

Really hope Grado bombs in America and doesn't win. He's the last person in the world I want representing the resurgent UK scene. The other 5 are actually talented wrestlers. They'd have been better dropping Grado and putting through someone like Sha Samuels or Nikki Storm.

I have no idea who Grado is but he looks like the love child of Colt Cabana and Patton Oswalt.
