There has been an unnerving buzz among fans going away from IPW:UK shows in recent months. People seem to be anticipating a big change - something unexpected, something frightening, something that could change the face of IPW. That change, it would seem, is set to centre around four men; Joel Redman, Iyesten Rees, Ricky Hype and Mark Haskins - Gilligan Gordon’s protégées, the Thrillers.

With Championship gold already in their sights, the Thrillers have grown from afternoon show card-fillers to some of the biggest threats to IPW:UK belt-holders. But as well as the individual threat they pose to the stars of IPW, they’re even more formidable as a group, possessing a near-perfect balance of the tools necessary for success in wrestling. The raw power of Hype and the slow-burning grapple-and-slam style offered by Redman are both complimented beautifully by the speed and razor-sharp reflexes of Haskins, and Rees has an uncanny ability to capitalise upon any opportunity for a win put in front of him. All these qualities, combined with an undeniable superstar presence and a smooth-talking agent and manager in Gilligan Gordon, suggest that the Thrillers are destined for the top. They’ll have tough challenges to overcome on the way up, but at this moment in time, it’s hard to see anyone stopping them.
