Killer Kelly signs on for Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport III
A “Killer” has joined the ranks of Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport III.
GCW and Barnett announced Friday that Killer Kelly has been added to the Thursday, April 2nd event in Ybor City, Florida.
The German-based talent from Portugal is currently a member of the NXT UK roster, but isn’t exclusive to them as she is a frequent presence in wXw and as of two weeks ago, wants to fill up her schedule.
The first-ever wXw women’s champion is the first female announced for the show and joins a group and matches that already includes the following:
- Josh Barnett vs. Jon Moxley in a match originally slated for the second Bloodsport show
- Minoru Suzuki vs. Chris Dickinson
- Davey Boy Smith Jr. vs. TBD
- Jeff Cobb vs. TBD
For those not familiar, Bloodsport is a hybrid shoot-style show in a ring with no ropes where the only way to win is knockout or submission. After Matt Riddle’s name was attached to the first event, Barnett signed on.
Since 2011, Josh has been a contributing editor to Wrestling Observer/F4WOnline.com and also hosts the Punch-Out podcast. He has also written for Fight Magazine, Bloody Elbow, Bleacher Report, and other websites. He's a 2000 graduate of the University of Maine, worked in pro sports, and once was an indie ring announcer.
