Progress Chapter Three: Fifty Shades of Pain was a professional wrestling event promoted by Progress Wrestling. It took place on September 30, 2012, in London, England at The Garage. [2] [3]
The event featured matches that were the result of scripted storylines, where wrestlers portrayed heroes, villains, or characters with ambiguous traits. These storylines built tension and culminated in wrestling matches or a series of matches. The outcomes of the matches were predetermined by Progress Wrestling's creative team, [4] while the storylines were produced for Progress Wrestling's events, which were made available as VOD events on the Pivotshare service. [5]
The event began with a singles match between Paul Robinson and Noam Dar, which ended with Dar securing the victory. Following that, Mark Andrews successfully defended the BWC Scarlo Scholarship Championship by defeating Xander Cooper. The third match featured a tag team bout, where James Davis and Rob Lynch triumphed over Danny Garnell and Darrell Allen. In the fourth match, Jimmy Havoc faced Jon Ryan in a singles contest. The match initially ended in disqualification, awarding the victory to Havoc. However, the match was restarted under Hardcore rules, and this time, Ryan emerged victorious. Next, RJ Singh defeated Rob Cage in a singles competition. In the semi-main event, Stixx overcame The Lion Kid. The main event saw Dave Mastiff and Greg Burridge defeating El Ligero and Nathan Cruz in a special tag team match with Marty Scurll serving as the guest referee. [6]
