After a 10 month absence in All Pro Wrestling, ?Rock Legend Scum? Adam Thornstowe RETURNS to APW to take on one of his strongest rivals in professional wrestling, Timothy Thatcher.
Whether or not the stories behind Thornstowe?s departure from All Pro Wrestling in early 2011 are true, the only headline that the APW Faithful across the country are concerned about is Thornstowe Returns to Challenge Thatcher!
On Twitter, Thornstowe had this to say about his reinstatement: ?I?m happy to announce that I am back with All Pro Wrestling, and excited for the opportunity and humbled by their kindness. Stay tuned.?
But upon his return to the APW Ring, Thornstowe is met with one of the toughest challenges of his career, and one he has had some difficulty overcoming in the past. The last time Thornstowe and Thatcher tied up in the center of the APW ring, it was Thatcher who walked away with the victory, after Thornstowe threw his entire repertoire of maneuvers at the British Messiah.
In the 10 months that Thornstowe has been away, Timothy Thatcher has rose in the ranks and captured the APW Universal Heavyweight Championship, only to be forced to give it up it a short time later due to injury. And now that Thatcher has made Corvus, the man responsible for the shoulder injury that put Thatcher on the shelf for months, tap out to the Thatcher Stretch, Timothy Thatcher has decided to put his quest to regain the Universal Championship on hold to have the opportunity to grapple with the ?Rock Legend Scum? once again.
This match will take place on January 14, 2012 at the World Famous APW Garage in Hayward, CA!
Admission is only 3 cans of food or an unwrapped toy for donation to the Alameda County Food Bank!
