PROGRESS Wrestling Announces the Return of the Thunderbastard Match at Unboxing VII: The Curtain Call
London, UK – PROGRESS Wrestling is thrilled to confirm the highly anticipated return of the Thunderbastard Match, set to take center stage at Unboxing VII: The Curtain Call. This iconic bout, steeped in PROGRESS tradition, has delivered some of the most unforgettable moments in the company’s history, and this year’s iteration promises to be the most thrilling yet.
For the uninitiated, the Thunderbastard Match is a unique multi-competitor battle where seven entrants face off in a staggered entry format. Wrestlers enter the ring at timed intervals, and elimination occurs by pinfall, submission, or disqualification. To win, one must outlast all six opponents, overcoming a gauntlet of challenges to claim victory.
The stakes have never been higher. Traditionally, the Thunderbastard winner receives a coveted key to unlock a championship match of the choosing of the promotion. However, for Unboxing VII: The Curtain Call, PROGRESS is raising the bar – this year’s victor will have the unprecedented opportunity to unlock a championship match for any PROGRESS Wrestling title. Whether it’s the PROGRESS World Championship, Women’s Championship, Tag Team Championships or even the PROTEUS or ATLAS Title, the power to challenge lies entirely in the hands of the winner.
Previous Thunderbastard matches have etched their place in PROGRESS history, crowning winners like Will Ospreay, Kid Lykos and Rhio, who all used their victories to cement their legacies. This year’s match aims to push the boundaries of drama, athleticism, and unpredictability, with a new crop of competitors vying for the ultimate prize.
Unboxing VII: The Curtain Call is set to take place in London on Sunday, December 29, 2024, and will mark the culmination of another incredible year for PROGRESS Wrestling. The Thunderbastard Match is just one highlight in what promises to be a night of action, twists, and surprises – including the UK debut of El Hijo Del Vikingo!
Tickets for Unboxing VII: The Curtain Call are now available, and fans are encouraged to secure their seats early for what is sure to be a sellout event. For more information, visit progresswrestling.com/tickets or follow PROGRESS Wrestling on social media for updates and announcements.
