Misery Business are great, both of them have been brilliant. Leon and Jet are the future, both are so talented.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leon Slater and Jet Martial are both in the early stages of their career but both have already amassed impressive r\u00e9sum\u00e9s. Slater has skyrocketed into stardom, having a match-of-the-year contender with AEW star <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cagematch.net\/?id=111&amp;nr=75936\">Will Ospreay<\/a> and winning world championships in <a href=\"https:\/\/journalists.org.uk\/harry-miller\/2023\/11\/10\/impact-wrestlings-leon-slater-defends-title-at-north-the-world-at-large\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NORTH <\/a>and TNT Wrestling. Martial is on the same trajectory and has the potential to be the next independent UK wrestler to blossom into a world champion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elsewhere on the card, the True Grit Champion Nsereko teams with the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WrestlingNewsCo\/status\/1630265605369524229?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1630265605369524229%7Ctwgr%5E43d0fbe3a842cb02b804a25fb739f87b81f4efda%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwrestling-edge.com%2Ffemale-wrestler-falls-from-rafters-in-accident%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">viral sensation<\/a> Rhio to face the power couple Brady Phillips and True Grit Women\u2019s Champion, Ivy.

It would give a nice nod to the LGBT wrestlers and supporters we have. I think its really important to be diverse, it really does make the shows better.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some rivalries are too fierce to be contained by a standard wrestling match which is exactly the case with the feud between Nathan Black and Lou Nixon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nixon has been out for revenge since <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5GTYGlhGV6E\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">losing the first incarnation of this match in March<\/a> through nefarious means but Nathan Black has been avoiding the consequences of his actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Jacob\u2019s Ladder, there will be nowhere for Black to run when the bell rings and the two are attached by a strap. A strap match can only be won when one competitor touches each of the four corners in succession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">True Grit Wrestling\u2019s Promoter\/Owner, James Carr said: \u201cNathan Black has been running his mouth and Lou Nixon has been demanding a rematch. I thought it would be good to get them together so Nathan Black can\u2019t run away and they could just beat the hell out of each other.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In another repeat of a former match, Liam Slater will try to get his win back against Kev Lloyd in a Pure Grit Rules match. This type of match is only for the most technical of wrestlers with submission being the only way to win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both men are supremely talented when it comes to mat-based wrestling and have each had lots of experience in this stipulation so this match will most definitely be a masterclass in professional wrestling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ace Matthews and Wing Commander Nash (collectively known as Nashboat) may not have won a match as a team but they have certainly won the hearts of the True Grit fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"525\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Don&#39;t be mad please, stop the hating<br>Just be glad that they&#39;ll be waiting<br><br>A message to all our Nashboat opponents, especially any who may inadvertently become <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TrueGritWrestle?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@TrueGritWrestle<\/a> Tag Team Champions before <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CommanderNash1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@CommanderNash1<\/a> and Ace Matthews.<br><br>\ud83d\udcf7 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EyesoftheF?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@EyesoftheF<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/UKtJkiSTeA\">pic.twitter.com\/UKtJkiSTeA<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Ace Matthews (@LetsBeAce) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LetsBeAce\/status\/1711273491943592277?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 9, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">True Grit Wrestling\u2019s Promoter\/Owner, James Carr said: \u201cWing Commander Nash is always consistently one of the most entertaining people in any show that he does. I always found Ace really funny, really annoying but really funny. With Nash it just works so well and they get one of the biggest reactions on the show.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nashboat\u2019s search for an actual win may have to wait a little while longer as they face the Violence Party (B.A. Rose and Jack Turner) who, as the name suggests, are a combination of brutality and destruction. Whichever team comes out the victor will surely be at the front of the line for an opportunity at the newly crowned tag-team champions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a true style clash, the gritty grafter Geordie, HT Drake takes on the glamourous Drag Queen, Priscilla for the first time ever in True Grit. The no-nonsense Drake has often been vocal about his disdain for flashy gimmicks so expect full aggression in his attempt to eliminate the Queen of the Ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"525\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I don&#39;t know who Jacob is but if he gets in the way I will use his corpse to batter <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Priscillaqotr?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Priscillaqotr<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/UKknzF314T\">https:\/\/t.co\/UKknzF314T<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Drake Wrestler HT \ud83d\udd78 (@Drake_Wrestler) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Drake_Wrestler\/status\/1720409632848396377?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 3, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At 6-foot-5, 232 pounds, Sean Only is what it would look like if you created a professional wrestler from the ground up. Only has set out yet another open challenge for Jacob\u2019s Ladder with the stipulation that whoever accepts must have never wrestled for True Grit in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This guarantees a debut and opens the floodgates for speculation of which talent will turn up in Leeds for this showcase bout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every match on the card offers great potential for show-stealing performances in what should be a wonderful night of wrestling. The variety on show truly has something for everyone to enjoy from the extreme carnage that will be the main event ladder match to the technical tussle True Grit Rules match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/truegritwrestling.com\/events\/jacobs-ladder\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tickets are still available<\/a> to buy in a standing room only capacity. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Harry Miller True Grit Wrestling is set to cap off an amazing year of wrestling with its biggest show ever on the 25th of November at Left Bank Leeds.
