Kamikaze Pro Presents Sky's The Limit 3
"With the lack of competitive wrestling companies in Birmingham, Kamaikaze Pro are seemingly in competition with themselves – every card they put on looks to obliterate the previous one. Sky's The Limit 3 positioned itself (as every card is positioned) as the best ever. While it didn't reach those heights – Underground for me has been the best ever – it came very close. I believe this show smashed Kamikaze's attendance records based on pre-orders alone, and we found queues snaking out the roadside. The ever-present Jill and Bev cleared the queues quickly from the moment the doors opened, and still had time for a quick chat beforehand. The card itself was high-quality, and offered a mix of styles. The opener featured the Hunter Brothers – fixtures and fittings at Kamikaze Pro – and one of many tag teams brought in to challenge them for their Tag Team titles, the Gzrs. This was a good, solid comedy match, and I always feel the Hunter's matches appeal more to the children present – of which there are a lot! A triple threat match featured three wrestlers who are constantly improving – Travis Banks is very, very good and looks the real deal, while both Omari and Dan Moloney are getting better and better with every card. Dan in particular is impressing me, but needs to work on his microphone skills before he can become a true major player. For the rest of the card (and in no particular order), Clint Margera and Damian Dunne were once again impressive, Pete Dunne, as the heart of Kamikaze, is always going to get good reactions, and Andrew Everitt has been a joy to watch. Ryan Smile and Robbie X are the true main attractions of Kamikaze, though – they could sit and eat an apple and I'd pay to watch! It was nice to see Marshall X wrestling a serious match rather than the comedy stuff he normally does. He's a good wrestler, and needs to show a genuine nasty side now that he's aligned himself with the other top wrestlers in the promotion. Gangrel, however, seemed a desperation booking – Kamikaze don't really need to book old stars such as him anymore, or they need to realise their own talent has much more to offer. I'd rather have seen a Liam Doyle versus Marshall X encounter, given that Liam is a fresher talent and can garner the same reaction that Gangrel did. With all due respect to the main event, the true main event for me was Tyler Bate vs Zack Sabre Jr. Tyler is one of the better wrestlers in the country at the minute, and he's not even 20 years of age. The match itself was right up my alley, turning into a strong-style match towards the end. More Tyler please! More Zack please! More of this match please! To finish the night off, Awesome Kong versus Shanna was the match I thought it would be – Kong playing the proverbial brick wall, with Shanna trying to crush the foundations. As the match wore on, it become clear that Shanna was working so hard to carry that match, and the fans switched their allegiance somewhat. This was by far Shanna's best match since debuting at Kamikaze, and has balanced out a number of, quite frankly, poor matches over recent months in the Fighting Females division. On the whole, this card was very high-quality – and while not matching Underground, it was close. Kamikaze still have to improve the Fighting Females divison, and the tag team scene needs a talent injection – the promise of a few months back seems to have stalled after high-profile main events for the Hunters, Omari's singles push, and Liam Doyle's injury. Finally, Kamikaze's timing has also improved – after a number of cards where matches and cards ran way over, they appear to be getting a handle on it. This is good news for everyone, especially in order to increase the number of attending families. Overall, Sky's The Limit 3 had much to be proud about. Even Will Ospreay, who was scheduled to appear but had to pull out due to his NJPW commitments, wasn't missed – which should tell you how good this show was. Onwards and upwards for Kamikaze Pro! "

"As always Kamikaze delivered a solid show, the staff and talent were all wonderful which makes for a pleasant experience. The atmosphere generated is always family friendly and welcoming, the venue was decent with adequate facilities and great parking. Academy shows can sometimes fall short in terms of quality, but I have to say for young wrestlers starting out they exhibited great talent. "

"Great show from top to bottom. My only problem was it did overrun slightly and coming up from London I didn't want to miss anything. This was my second Kamikaze Pro Wrestling show and as always the guys and ladies delivered. Very much looking forward to October 25th. John"
