  1. When Benoit died Brian Alvarez from F4Weekly wrote about Benoit being a subscriber and that they would chat every few months, which amazed me. I always thought Benoit would be an old school guy that would kill a sheetwriter if he saw one in the street.

    These were the same journalists that hyped Benoit as one of the best ever, and in general were big advocates of the influx of junior heavyweights in the mid nineties, so it's unsurprising that Benoit would talk to guys like Alverez.
  2. Does anyone know if/where Drew McDonald is wrestling at the moment? I'm a huge fan, and personally think that he's still one of the best wrestlers in Britain, but the only time I've seen him this year was at Croydon I believe. I'd really like to see him wrestle again at some point, so any info would be appreciated.Also, beside the Uprising shows and FOH, are any of the FWA shows from it's beginning - mid 2004 available on tape/DVD. I have Goldrush from 2004, anything before then would be great.

  3. Sunday Night Heat Next episode: August 3, 20071.William Regal vs. Hacksaw Jim Duggan 2.Snitsky vs. Jeff Michaels 3.Lance Cade, Trevor Murdoch, Charlie Haas & Shelton Benjamin vs. The Highlanders, Paul London & Brian Kendrickcould this be the 8-man tag coach was talking aboutfound it on www.tv.com

    Hi.Was that William Regal - Duggan match any good? I think it might be a closet stonker.
    It is. Only goes about 5-6 minutes, but it's terrific stuff indeed.
  4. Also, what's with the 'Swanley (boo)' references?

    Swanley's a fucking hole.Edit: Further explanation - the venue had terrible acoustics, never got full up, front row was miles away from the ring, and the Swanley shows always seemed to be really sub-par compared to the Orpington offerings.
  5. Ah right, cheers. Forgot that it was an extension of the Family vs. Paul Travell fued.Edit:Does anyone have an MP3 of Jack Xavier's old FWA music? I used to have it and must have downloaded from here or the FWA website, so someone might be able to help me out.

  6. Hmmm.Odd request this one.Does anyone have any matches with me reffing that can either be sent to me or stuck somewhere (but not advertised please I don't want that happening :D) that I can grab?Reason is my new work collegues don't believe I was a referee for a proper wrestling fed and I want to prove them wrong! :DAnd since I find it hard to watch myself on TV I didn't get any copies for myself! Duh :DAnyway. Yeah I know it's the questions thread but hey, better here than starting a new thread about me lol.I'm thinking:Doug Vs Steve Corino 2004would be my first pick! :DOOooo, or actually...CM Punk Vs Colt CabanaAs they might recognise Punk :DFeck sake, at this point I'd take a Picture lol...."Come on, you're telling me 3 years working in a wrestling federation and there's not one picture you can find...."Gah!!!

    You're sort of visible in this video, about 1.40, as Doug forearms Corino. Best I can do!
    That video is what I miss in British wrestling. That actually got me excited for a show, and hyped enough that I managed to convince a casual fan to go to the show as well. Strong storylines put across well in a video, we need more of this.
  7. He was on the first main WAW show I saw, breaking Red Hellion in half with a spear. I'm pretty sure that was before he branched out to other feds.

  8. Bryan Danielson vs Mike Quackenbush august 11 cant wait to see this one

    The August 11th show is in Philadelphia - this match is almost certainly an effort to draw CHIKARA fans across, as the June Philly show drew less than the February one.
    So that's an extra 50 people then.
    Being serious, if Mike Quakenbush does draw 50 extra people then he is well worth a main event slot for that show.
  9. Do you think when the Cops arrived at the scene and found the bodies they lifted each of their arms three times to make sure they were really out?

    Does this mean we can start?
    I think we've waited long enough.
