    China Wrestling: Shaolin Monks turn entertainers
    In ancient China, students trained in martial arts to protect their communities from bandits and other and other enemies. These days, it is more of a hobby but these men say professional wrestling has given them a new way to turn their passion into a career.

    A professional sports company in China is trying to combine traditional martial arts with American-style pro-wrestling.

    Oriental Wrestling Entertainment has trained Shaolin monks to perform in the ring. Not everyone is convinced with the East-meets-West experiment.

    SHAOLIN MONK TO MAKE HIS EUROPEAN DEBUT AT OWE UK TAG TEAM TOURNAMENT

    With now 11 teams out of the 16 and a few singles competitors announced, the OWE UK’s Tag Tournament has never been looking more good. Among the OWE China stars that are set to make their European and UK debut in the tournament, Zhao Yilong, aka Shaolin Monk, is joining the International Superstars, through Dream Girl Ellie, Blanco Loco, Joey Ozbourne and Zach Cooper, Achilles Ben, The Flying Prince Gao Jingjia and Ayesha Raymond in the list of the singles competitors that could compete in one of 3 singles divisions, Openweight, Women’s and UK Title.

    At only 18, Zhao Yilong, member of Team W, to quote OWE China, “is the name of the globally known Shaolin Monk. He represents the unique Shaolin Kungfu element of OWE. The young man has a childish mind and heavy wisdom. Zhao Yilong often attends the activities of the Shaolin Temple together with the elders of Shaolin. He and the founder of OWE, Dragon Fu, have also starred in “Seven Little Arhats” movie. When Zhao Yilong came to OWE to study wrestling, he also strived for excellence like martial arts. The integration of Shaolin martial arts into wrestling is a subject he has been studying and has produced some of the most amazing routines ever to be seen on the planet.

    “Zhao Yilong’s wrestling videos have a high click-through rate globally. The unique character image and the wrestling style with Shaolin martial arts have quickly become the new favourite of the international wrestling world. Looking forward to the pressure, there are many problems that are plaguing this Shaolin kid, but he is also using his own efforts to add the charm of Shaolin Kungfu to the wrestling. Ten years of martial arts persistence and the pursuit of wrestling excellence make Shaolin Monk, Zhao Yilong more eye-catching on the wrestling scene.”

    To reply to the many requests for multi-day tickets for both venues in the UK tour, OWE UK decided to create passes for the 2 London shows and 3 Liverpool shows. A 5-day pass for all OWE UK shows is also available.

    The tour will be taking place from September 18th-22nd. For more information on the company and tickets, be sure to check out their Twitter and their website here. Stay tuned on our media for the upcoming teams and singles competitors announcements and the interviews of all the teams and participants in the event.

    OWE gets its own indie thread now. I know I usually wait until there are three posts, but this is just too precious.

    THREE-WAY ACTION CLOSES OUT OWE UK DAY 3 MATCH ANNOUNCEMENTS
    26/08/2019 John Dinsdale

    OWE UK have revealed the final match for Day 3 of their UK tour and it is none other than a Triple Threat match between The Shaolin Monk, Scotty Davis and Marko Stunt. This means we now know all the matches that will take place on September 20th in Liverpool.



    At only 18, Zhao Yilong, member of Team W, to quote OWE China, “is the name of the globally known Shaolin Monk. He represents the unique Shaolin Kungfu element of OWE. The young man has a childish mind and heavy wisdom. Zhao Yilong often attends the activities of the Shaolin Temple together with the elders of Shaolin.

The integration of Shaolin martial arts into wrestling is a subject he has been studying and has produced some of the most amazing routines ever to be seen on the planet.



    The Supreme Suplex Machine Scotty Davis has a background in Freestyle Wrestling, having started at age 6, being a 7x Irish Champion, a 3x British Champion and has won various lower-level championships. In 2017, at Road To Scrappermania 3, Davis debuted for OTT against fellow debutant Conor Andrews. Outside of Ireland, Davis has started to make a mark in the UK on TNT IGNition, Pro Wrestling Clash, Fight Club: PRO, Frontline and Wrestle Gate. According to sources, “If we could give points on potential Scotty would be a definite ten. He’s simply one of the most exciting young wrestlers in the world right now, and he’s being handled to perfection by OTT. Scotty is incredibly versatile and already appears able to match up with pretty much anyone and put on a real show. He’s athletic but technical, he’s charismatic, yet works his arse off in the ring. Scotty might just be the next big thing.”



    Marko Stunt made his debut in wrestling in 2015. He has worked mostly for indie wrestling promotions until he got noticed at GCW Joey Janela’s Lost In New York. Two weeks later, he was in All In “Zero Hour” pre-show, working the 15-Man “Over Budget Battle Royal”. Since then, he has worked for Joey Ryan’s BAR Wrestling, GCW and MLW. During WrestleMania week, he appeared at Joey Janela’s Spring Break 3, taking part in a gigantic Battle Royale. Also, here’s to hoping he comes out to We Belong by Pat Benatar.
