‘Herald Wales’ has a feature story about the reboot of ATTACK!, a promotion co-owned by former WWE NXT UK star Mark Andrews.
Andrews was among the names cut from the NXT UK roster when the promotion announced NXT UK would be going away with the idea of rebooting it as NXT Europe.
The article had quotes from Andrews, including about his WWE departure.
“It was hard, as we were hoping to be on one of the biggest shows the U.K. has ever seen in Cardiff, but instead, just days before that event in the stadium took place, we found out we had been let go, which was a bit of a shock to us all. It was a very difficult time for me as it was the same month as my wedding and I’d heard rumors I might make an appearance at Clash at the Castle, so to go from that to then hearing we were being let go was tough. Life goes on though, and even though a number of us were released from the WWE, it’s given us the opportunity to come back to where it all started with ATTACK!. What we want to get across is that these are special shows intended for everyone to enjoy, where there is a unique atmosphere and connection between the athletes and the audience. Obviously we want to keep that same type of atmosphere we had before, but we also want to try and make it even bigger this time round and we’ve made a lot of improvements behind the scenes. We hope as many people as possible can come to see our next series of shows now in April, which will be our biggest to date.”
