Most Promising Newcomer
2020:
Joey Delgado
Joey was picked out as a skilled wrestler and quick learner from an energetic and committed group of trainees. Joey is still learning but has become a well-respected team player who enjoys a mentoring role with newcomers such as Vaz Pitesti.
His popular series with Davey Boy includes Dragons Den & Guilloteenies:
'The guys showed terrific improvement, and willingness to learn ...
Joey applied the ab stretch then took it back down to the mat into a guillotine ... great move, well done.'
One of Joey's best reviewed matches is Ring Moves 7 with Franky Nadara:
'Joey has a great work ethic, and no matter how well he gets pinned or submitted, he just keeps coming back for more and wanting to get into it again. Great attitude.'
and Turbo Chargers with Rosso:
'Joey seems to just totally enjoy being in the ring and all that it involves ... '
'I will say without a doubt that the match with Joey and Alberto is one of the best I have ever seen.
The gear and the wrestling are so good and they are both about the same size.'
Who will be contenders
for the vote in 2021?
Vaz Pitesti? David Uzbek?

Matman of the Year
2020:
David Hitman
David is developing a fiercesome reputation on the mats and in the ring, often dominating less experienced opponents with his range of ground moves.
He enjoyed punishing Al Rosso
in Ring Missions 5:
'You can tell the Hitman gives no quarter in his bouts and likes to win. Bet Alberto had a few aches and pains from that tussle!'
'Ring Missions 5 is an A* production. Hitman is turning into a top wrestler. Keep them coming.'
'Hitman is so good ... nasty arm locks and used the ring well
with some good throws.'
'David looks like a heel - bit unkempt looking in gear too ... lol'
Who will challenge for this accolade
in 2021?
Al Rosso? Davey Braha?
Joey Delgado? Bruno Baccy?

History
With no permanent place to call home, The Spotland Scrappers searched far and wide for a venue to train, compete and pursue their passion for wrestling. After founding the group in Spotland Mill, Lancashire, they discovered The Loft in 2013 - a disused hat factory, stripped back to its bare form. The raw honesty of the place set a light in the founding Scrappers and as the team have developed, so has The Loft. Once just a dusty shell, Team Spotland have re-ignited The Loft with a wrestling ring, grapplezone, oilzone, and mutli-gym, and an atmosphere of passion skill and energy. Moores Hat Factory closed in 1970 and today, part of it lives on as our wrestling venue.
The lads enjoy going head-to-head in a range of settings & styles including ring, mats, oil, outdoors, lift and carry, scissors and many more. Click here for more informaton on how you can create your own custom match.

Reviews
'Spotland has always been one of my favourites. With attractive fighters, great action, and very affordable prices, they have nowhere to go but up!
They have recently added new talent to their roster and overhauled their website as well.
I'm very excited to see what the fellas have in store for us!
I will be closely following them for sure!'

Cavey Awards 2020
Favorite Surprise:
Rob Palomino vs. AJ Johnson
'The biggest difference between the two is that Rob is wrestling to win and AJ just enjoys the act of hurting his opponent. Rob's about the destination and AJ's about the journey.'
'Spotland was a new adventure
for me this year.
.... pro fun.'

'I met some great friends when I went over to England to wrestle for Spotland Scrappers.
What an awesome group of guys they are. It’s like a family there,
plus where else do you wrestle in custard or in a ring full of balloons? I still keep in touch with those guys ...'
(Cameron Matthews - wrestler4hire2.com/blogs)
'The lighting, the sound, the filming, the action, in fact the whole production values of your videos are superb ...'
(Rob, Derbyshire)
'I really enjoy your new crop of trainees and fighters! Love your studio and your matches ...'
