Who would believe it? DOA is about to turn 11 years old, and what a journey it has been. From the early days of smaller venues up to the present packed out venues with quality shows broadcast on IWTV - As ever, DOA will be celebrating the anniversary in style on October 5th. The Yarmouth faithful have a packed show to look forward to, with the usual twists and turns no doubt.
With some matches already announced, it is clear this is shaping up to be potentially DOA's best show of the year. Whilst focus will be on the current crop of DOA's roster, there is room for some nostalgia too. DOA's long term fans will be more than familiar with former DOA UK Heavyweight Champion Winston - A man who went five years without a defeat. In a blockbuster match signed for the anniversary show, Winston will make his big return to DOA and step straight into a match with current Heavyweight Champion Brad O'Brien. This is a tasty match up, which even if I was a betting man, I would not put a bet on as it could go either way.
Winston has the size advantage but O'Brien has been on a role over the past year, finding victories even when the odds have been against him. O'Brien also has the Farrell Family behind him, something that has proven useful in the past. However, that will not phase Winston and wouldn't it be something if he walked back in to DOA and took the title back that he held for so long? All eyes will be on this huge match.
Speaking of huge matches, it does not get any bigger than a 10 man tag team match. The Cult of Hyde minus Moldark who will be replaced by Alton Thorne will go against a team led by the Sunset Rider. In recent months, Hyde's cult have almost made it a mission to take the Rider's mask away due to their being a bounty on it. Sunset Rider has laid down the challenge and has stated if he loses, he will unmask but if he wins, then Jack E Hyde mist unmask. Sunset has some trusty partners by his side as he is joined by Hex, Marc Lloyd and Hot Stuff. The 5th man is a mystery which raises questions as to who this will be? Will it be someone we know? a new face? a face from the past? who knows. This match will be a top match but it will be interesting to see how Alton Thorne working with the Cult will work out. He has only agreed to be in the match due to a score he has to settle with Hex - will that be his soul purpose? Either way, someone will be losing a mask in this match.
The show will also mark the return of Ben Jones, the former 'Lad' will go one on one with Sir Ryan Matthews. This match has history. In 2023, it was the final of the Adrenaline Cup, Sir Ryan won that match in controversial circumstances and Jones never seemed to get back on track afterwards. This is a big opportunity for Jones to return with a bang. However, Sir Ryan is also trying to get a winning run together so this match is equally as important to him.
More matches will be added but as you can see, so far, this is looking to be a top show. Get your tickets now for the 11 Year anniversary show at the Drill House in Great Yarmouth - October 5th.
