Sorry to butt in but I went to my first UK shows in 1993 at Fairfield Halls. The first was a Crabree show around June and the second was an All Star show in August.

I don't suppose you have the results?

August 3rd All Star Show - US Avalanche KO'd Giant Haystacks. Marty Jones 0-0 Danny Collins. Steve Prince 1-0 Frankie Sloane. Richie Brooks/Frankie Sloane 2-1 Steve Prince/Vic Powers. Lee Bronson 2-1 Bull Pratt 

May 18th Crabtree show - Rumble including Tony Stewart/Sid Cooper/Johnny Kidd/Johnny Angell/Andy Strong/Dale Preston/Rex Lane/Young Jason/John Prater/Steve Johnson/Karl Krammer etc

I have these on my PC. Not certain but think they originally came from Tony Earnshaw's old British Wrestling Archive site.

1st list is from all promotions, though incomplete no doubt. 

The Undertakers weren't necessarily WWF tributes as such, more likely just a generic gimmick. Somebody else had already done it here in the 60s.

John is correct, everything he listed is from my old website, I do have a more complete record of 1993 if there is something specific that you are looking for ?

If you don’t have have the funds and means to provide a safe working place, than you should not be in the wrestling business. It’s not rocket science.

 

 

Any two bob promoter can put on a show or set up a training school, how many promoters now try and run without adequate insurance for one ? Football had the FA and they did fuck all about the likes of Bennell for years so wrestling hasn't a chance of being regulated.

The only thing that should happen is that there are proper laws and criminal charges brought upon any abusers , if you don't nothing will change 

Shield v Miz/Miztourage no more stupid than Cena/Rock v Miz/Truth 

Poor old Cesaro his mouth smashed open and teeth flying all over the place and he worked through it, that was the match of the night. I can't believe how flat the Cena v Reigns match felt, all the build up and the match went down like a lead balloon, that was the chance to have him turn and try something else otherwise nothing is going to change.

I'm not sure how Strowman can recover from that now, it needed a controversial finish if he was going to lose but it seems all he was in the end was a step in the road to WM for Brock v Reigns that nobody wants to see again. 

Was the AJ/KO match finish botched as there was no replay shown of anything at the end ?

Must be the most underwhelming WWE PPV of all time on Sunday, ticket sales are useless and tickets being heavily discounted to try and sell them. Why bother with 2 brand split PPV's every month if this is the dross they dish up ?

With the whole Angle storyline involving Graves, is it possible he's lobbying for the general manger role? Dixies gonna turn up on Raw ain't she. 

Weird how this has panned out to be at Nashville next week , for what reason other than that ?

Guy on The Chase says he is a wrestler , called 'The Saint' , if he wins wants to go to WM in New Orleans

What could Reigns' Summerslam announcement be then next week? Does he get interrupted just before he says something and that sets up his next feud.

As they're now emphasising Cena as a free agent , maybe Roman calls him out next week ?

The Snuka video didn't go down well and the graphic at the start would have been enough

It would be better to say nothing than continually mess up and look so wooden in the delivery of the promo. They really need to let those who can talk off the leash and those who can't give them things they can't trip up over.

At least we have Undertaker v Strowman at WM to look forward to. 

They seem to be making a big deal over next years SS, so hopefully it will mean something significant is planned 

Sounds like Survivor Series next year is going to have NXT and Raw at the same arena again like this year, but Smackdown aswell, and tickets go on sale in December, almost a year before the show.  That's very unusual!

Houston so Texas again for a major show

I could go for him as a surprise Rumble entrant, he doesn't have to do much but would get a massive pop and could potentially be eliminated by someone to then job to him at Mania?

Rusev would be a fun match with the Hulkster 

 

Ratings for ITV's Saturday afternoon schedules are usually shit anyway. That's why it's usually made up of repeats of Tipping Point and Doc Martin.

ITV have just purchased the rights to show the horse racing haven't they? Doesn't that usually take up pretty much the entire Saturday afternoon?

 

Most of the racing will be on ITV4 , maybe followed by wrestling ?

Third failure is the sack, maybe that is what the end game is for her ? 

The show finished after the Miz match, who bothered with the Bliss match or Bray v Randy ? Those 2 were just like SD TV matches , they should have kept the normal running order as most people would have watched it on demand and not live

Posted in minor news but may be more adequate here - Del Rio no showed an AAA event last night. They've released a statement slagging him off for it.

He was stabbed 

You are all on the list! You hear me? All of you are on the list!

About the only decent thing out of last night.

You have a new Cruiserweight division and champion and no sign of him on the programme, what a way to get him over 

Team her up with Zeb and form the United State of Norwich.

 

Have her accompanied to the ring by Delia, Alan Partridge and Ed Balls. 

Let's be 'avin yer 

 

Would she be able to stay in the US though? If WWE are the ones vouching for her, so to speak, how would that affect her visa?

 

Not sure. Joel Redman returned to the UK but Martin Stone has stayed in the USA so I guess it depends.

 

Marry ADR and get a spouse visa ?

Jericho is my favourite thing about WWE at the moment. His swagger is absolutely glorious to see.

I never, ever thought the thing I looked forward to most on WWE TV - besides your one - would be Jericho.

He is working his nuts off at the moment, the expressions and the swagger are brilliant, much better in this role
