If you’re going to troll, put some effort into it at least. 

Im not trolling, I’m just speaking my truth. That’s what discourse is. But it seems like if you want to post on here you just have to agree with everything.

If I was Tony Khan, I'd be very tempted to hire Jimmy Havoc again just so I could immediately fire him the second he signed his contract. The previous time was under particularly awkward circumstances, and I'd worry I hadn't been able to savour and enjoy firing him enough the first time.

Wow this was amazing virtue signalling let’s hope one of the WWF Divas happened to chance across this, you might get a phone call from one of them could lead to a date or even better matrimony.

Some of it might be shit but overall they've done a pretty solid job and delivered most of the top moments in wrestling over the past year. So not sure you can call it embarrassingly shit as a blanket statement.

No I can. Because that's my opinion. 

AEW is embarrassingly shit.

OK Jordan Peterson

Jordan Peterson doesn’t like wrestling

The entire womens division is completely over-rated, you lot who keep stanning it hard are making Wrestling shit as they showcase more matches over people who can actually put on a decent compelling match. 

All so you can have a wee willy wanky.

For shame.

It was a dark tryout match for Psicosis. 

It's from a January 31st, 2005 Raw taping. So a good five or six months before he showed up on TV. 

Isn't that El Ligero?

Three years ago, on Twitter, I had seen lots of men expressing surprise at the amount of women saying they’d had #MeToo experiences and I was trying to say that just because we didn’t consider some of our sexual interactions to be non-consensual - I was particularly referring to those handful of times in the mid-90s when I’d “pull” at a club, and we’d both be drunk - doesn’t mean that the women since that time might not have changed their opinion.

I made a big mess of the tweet and everything that came after it, and there’s not a day since that I don’t think about it and regret it.

You never pulled anyone in a club you sleazy fat fuck. Don't work the boys.

Unfortunately true. Elisar was one of the original founding members of the FWA and one of the only genuine good guys in a world back then of charlatans and thieves. People that deserved to be in the situation Elisar found himself in. But I’m going to veer off the negative now.

Elisar started the JOB Squad meet-ups in London which many early FWA people can attest to be being a great place to meet up in what was then a SUPER Niche area of interest. If you wanted to find your tribe, it was there. And Elisar wanted nothing other than for people to share their passion and have a good time. 

I would encourage you to seek out his other work that he directed and produced in his life in film and tv. Just google his name and you will be surprised. He did some amazing things in his lifetime and he will be missed.

If it wasn’t for Elisar there would be no glory days of FWA and the subsequent boom in Britwres simple as. Some people would want to take all the credit for themselves but they are liars. RIP to a lovely and talent man.

Quoted for truth. (I didn't know about the Edler stuff, but there were plenty other rumours doing the rounds at the time.)

theringmaster - calling for people to "let it drop", that's exactly the point of what's going on! It's because people let it drop all the time that it's come to a head like this. And if the wrestlers or promoters won't help fix the problem, or are themselves the problem, then don't lambast the fans for doing their bit - as robinbobs says, they don't owe anything to the business, and they don't want to see their money in the pockets of nonces.

Proper registrations? Proper accountability? So explain these two to me.

 

Proper registration? So when promoters book guys they need to see run a criminal history check and have at least two forms of ID? That's not the way the business works or ever will work. Next you will be demanding to see evidence that the wages given to workers is declared to the tax man. 

Proper accountability? For what? If nobody in your promotion has been accused and if you were unaware of any such behaviour prior to accusation then how can you take accountability? "Lads this is nothing to do with us but we will hang our heads in shame whilst promotions who have had these workers on their shows continue to run shows".

 

And just because shows you were on were full of nonces who 'revelled' in stories after hours then that does not mean for one single second ALL shows are like this. That kind of attitude is the problem.

 

I agree lets out and get rid of the 'degenerates' but again why should everybody in the industry suffer?

To be honest, I'm concerned with the training facilities, to me it's not about the shows. The shows get cancelled and the brush gets tarnished, because of the complete and utter lack of safe guarding in those areas. And no, you're very correct, it might not seem fair. I bet you theres a promotion out there, who maybe broke away from a training school, cause they fell out with the trainer (probably because they figured he was a nonce) and now there shows are being cancelled because said nonce has been outed. Doesn't seem fair at all.

But at the end of the day, these people still knew about these people, and those people did nothing to report them. out of fear, probably, I remember, like I said, back in mid thousands when we'd be told stories of Wrestler X having some sort of beef with Wrestler Y into a back of a car and doing something violent. And then we're expected to act on a rumor we heard, report them to the police? And face the repercussions? I don't know what it's like today, but stories travel. Like I said, I heard the Edler stories maybe a year ago from someone still in wrestling in a pub, those rumors were there. Why was he allowed to continue on? like all the others? If it's fear, that needs to be addressed. If it was laziness, then everyone deserves a shot in the arm.

Unless this video starts with him in character but sitting in a studio flat using a gold plated box cutter to open a massive box of ‘supplements’ while five stray cats weave in and out of his legs. This video is fake news.

Yep, like some BritWrest shows have already been cancelled by the venue. And why is all this? because a load of fans won't let it drop on social media.

 

What has happened is terrible but I think people (aka fans) need to have a reality check here a little. This isn't a Jimmy Saville/Harvey Weinsten scale thing, it's a few individuals who have been named, shamed,black balled and where possible questioned by the authorities and it is now in their hands. I agree CRB checks if you are a trainer or performer would be a wise idea if you were in the industry but the idea 'it should the law' is getting a bit silly. I even saw a blog post doing the rounds demanding that at every show there is a designated 'safe place' for fans to go to if they feel 'threatened', I have been to HUNDREDS of shows in my life from happy clappy family friendly to extreme adult shows and I have never felt threatened, nor have i ever known anybody feel unsafe. Then you get people like Hope Brookes going on a crusade, when Hope Brookes is on a moral crusade you know things are getting out of hand.

 

Fans need to let it drop because they are going to ruin the business if they don't. Not every wrestler/promotion needs to make a statement, no promotion with any sense of moral standards are going to book these guys again.

 

I do not agree, excuse, defend any kind of sexual act and may those horrible b*stards get what is coming to them but the whole industry shouldn't have to suffer.

Don't blame the fans for the actions of other people. Especially for the ‘good of the buisness’ the ‘buisness’ owes nothing to the fans, they’re the reason it exists. And the fans have every right to question the source which it funds. I want to know who these people are so my money doesn’t line their pockets.

for people having shows cancelled etc because of this, let it be a lesson. Proper registrations, proper accountability. And maybe next time do something about it early when the rumour mill starts to fly. I was around the ‘buisness’ in mid thousands and it was rampant then and nobody gave a blind bit of notice and now those people walk amongst us with absolutely no fear of reprisal and a few quid in their pocket. Don’t tell me a lot of these new school promoters and workers aren’t fully aware of what’s been taking place, and revelling in the story’s after hours. I’ve been to many a catch up ‘social’ over the years. (Disclaimer, not once did anyone ever cop to a rape, but the Edler stories were doing the rumor mill LONG LONG ago and this was between people spanning many companies from across the UK. People knew.)

Wrasslers & promoters are degenerates. Some harmless. Some like a thumb in the bum during a rumble. Some like to get rapey because their parents never loved them.

Lets seperate those ones out.

EDIT - I Spelt Business wrong TWICE in this post, it's been an hour and not one person has corrected me. The UKFF has changed. You used to get banned for stuff like that.

What’s happened to the Britwres Crusader? The Twitters gone missing

I think Tanahashi winning the new japan Cup sounds quite plausible, leading to revenge over Suzuki. 

On another note does anyone know if the Australia Fallout tour is selling well. Will this also lead to them promoting shoes over here instead of Global wars UK? 

I heard they sold out all the shows.

I want to see a backstage segment where Omega is slowly rubbing lubricant into Ibushi's young supple frame. Then Muta walks in and starts to undo this trousers. Fade to black.

I would hazard a guess also that it's simply a case of Vince refusing to accept defeat or failure, and being determined to prove his vision works. "It was the XFL! It was the XFL all along!"

You talk to anyone under the age of 18 and they spend more time watching YouTubers talking about naff all or playing video games than they do real sports. It's already massive but yeah, they think it's still miles away from how big it will get. The number of people who watch some of the big esports tournaments and events is *insane*. There are a ton of tournaments now where there's $1,000,000 prizes. Search google images for 'esports tournament'. They look like Wrestlemania already. 

But it’s all for show. Money pissed down the pan by the developers of the games it’s all part and parcel of marketing the game.

Nothing will ever match up to real sports. Until they come up with real deal virtual fighting.

This sounds like a brilliant way to introduce new characters into the WWE. They could do an only the strong survive tournament. Winner goes to NXT. Kind of like the young boy system in Japan, but with College Athletes.

Why is Martin Stone a jobber??? Thats ridiculous. I used to buy DVD's from him in Virgin Megastore Romford.....Porn DVD's.
