In a last minute change to the card, SWA Star Falcon contested Joe Coffey’s entrance into the British Championship tournament. and had his management force SWA and Source to add him to the mix.

Last night at Source Wrestling, Joe Coffey, initially scheduled to fight Phil Powers, found himself against the Bird of Prey in a qualifier match. Falcon was stunned by the sheer raw strength of Coffey and found himself overpowered by the young mans huge physique and dominating offense, but he was able to turn the tables with some foul play and his years of experience and gain a win over the young Source star.

With Coffey distracted by Falcon’s agent, James Tyler, the Bird of Prey was able to blind sight Coffey, turning the Legitimate Athlete’s diving headbutt into an opportunity to hit him with a Falcon Over neck breaker.

Coffey was able to impress the fans and prove to everyone why he was picked for the tournament, but despite his efforts the experience and cunning of Falcon and his team only served to harm the young star.

Now qualifying for the tournament, Falcon – a former NWA:UK Juniorweight and NWA Scottish champion – has advanced to the first round to face former NWA Commonwealth and IWGP Tag Team Champion Fergal Devitt for a change to take one step closer to becoming NWA:UK British Heavyweight Champion alongside Johnny Moss who recently defeated Wolfgang and BT Gunn who advanced after a win over Liam Thomson.

Falcon will face of against Devitt when SWA returns to Uddingston on May 15th.

Next up for the British Championship tournament, we’ll see Paul Tracy battle Kid Fite in the explosive environment of After Hours on March 28th and witness Adam Shame take on Dave Mastiff in Paisley Town Hall April 23rd.
