STRONG STYLE /strôNG/ /stīl/ 1. ‘... A style of wrestling evolved from Japanese Puroresu (プロレス) and traditional British Catch wrestling that incorporates full contact martial arts kicks and strikes with a strong emphasis placed on submission wrestling ...’ In Progress, the emphasis is more on the competition and the combatants fighting spirit rather than characters, and we settle things in the ring ....

Gargano would return later in the night and attack Zack Gibson during their match against Imperium **

AT THE PODIUM: Progress tag team champions Zack Gibson & James Drake, the Grizzled Young Veterans, come out to the podium and complain about being on the Youtube show again, saying it is beneath them because they are the best tag team around .... but they had to come out to address 'Johnny Wrestling' .... Gibson says he’s everyone’s favorite underdog but he is really just favored and entitled .... He's had dozens of chances and dropped the ball every time, but the Vets are the greatest success story in Progress because they came from nothing and made their own breaks .... they took the ball and ran with it and became Progress tag team champions and Soooooon be recognized as the greatest tag team on the planet ....
