VPW Title Shot Speculation for Saigon Slam

Following a fiery promo from The British Horror, speculation is swirling that the main event of Saigon Slam could be a #1 contender’s match for the Vietnam Pro Wrestling (VPW) Openweight Championship—or possibly even a direct title match against current champion Hy Draco.

While Trashzilla (The British Horror's other moniker) has been on a hot streak with two consecutive wins over Rocky Huynh—the longest-reigning VPW champion—other contenders are also in the mix:

• Ares: The former champion has yet to receive his contractual rematch and continues to notch victories against top Southeast Asian talent.

• Jimmy AG: Rumored to be nearing a return from his broken arm, Jimmy could lay claim to his previously postponed title match from December.

• Sid Nguyen: After leading his team to victory in Guerrilla Games, Sid may be eyeing his own shot at championship gold.

With several worthy contenders, the Saigon Slam main event could shake up the VPW title picture significantly.
