British, I have never seen or heard of them anywhere in any feds or any posters Slater is currently RevPro British Cruiserweight champion, the SovPro Commonwealth Champion (SovPro are Manchester based) and the North Wrestling champion (NORTH are in Newcastle). He's had the last two for more than 200 days each. Slater also signed a deal with TNA when they were in the UK last year. DeReiss is King of the Carnival Champion for Wrestle Carnival (based out of the Midlands, although on hiatus I believe), he's the TNT Ultra Champion (TNT are Liverpool), the Kamikaze Pro champion (they're West Midlands), the Evolution Middleweight Champion (they're Gloucestershire) and the SMW Champion (they're in Wales). The two have held tag titles in 1PW, NORTH, and ASCA (who I believe are an Italian promotion) Hopefully you'll enjoy the cards when they're released! |

Just got to get a few other indie set first I'd wholeheartedly recommend Sovereign Pro, they've run shows at the Trinity Sports Centre and Manchester Academy so far, lots of really good British talent on the cards and some international names. Jordan Oliver, who was in the Best of the Indies 2021 set, was on their last show, where he faced none other than our latest name Leon Slater! For those Brits on here, they also had Coronation Street's Les Battersby on the show, making his wrestling debut. Their next show is on May 6, on the Bank Holiday Monday |

Part of the goal of the Best of the Indies sets is not always to have guys that everyone has heard of. But instead have guys and gals everyone will know in a couple years.
