  1. I cannot see how any of this makes TWC bods or the FWA evil people. Every other British organisation would have had a chance or window to stick a bid in or tie up a contract in the way the FWA has. And they were the only ones that put it on the table and claimed the prize.

     

    $tew, for once I'm not going to agree with you: other than the diehards, the only reason I would say most people visit 'local' BritWres events is to see a fragment of their weekly WWE show. With people being exposed to FWA as well, and with a chance of actually seeing someone they've seen on TV, I think this will help attendances.

     

    I see a lot of call for collaboration, but it was out of the regionalised territories that the current US wrestling scene formed. There's been twelve years since World of Sport croaked and yet it's the FWA's fault that they've haven't gone down this road until now? It's all down to money, and as someone who thinks 'meh' about FWA in general, I'm happy for them. They had the acumen to secure such a deal and the other promotions should stop being sour and ramp up the presentation of their product to meet FWA's plimsoll line.

  2. I find this all very confusing. I've known Nigel a wee while now, and would like to think he's growing into one of the top IWC columnists, and late last year became one of the best UKFF posters. Certainly at different times via MSN we've discussed ideas for articles and how to proceed and his writing seems to come out of a genuine creative process. We also discussed his decision whether to join XWrestling or not, and I fully understand his reasons for aligning himself with the outfit. I'm in the "I'm highly sceptical but willing to see what happens" camp.I can't comment whether this is plagiarism or not; I don't read Power Slam so I wouldn't know. What I will say is this sems very out of character for Nigel as a guy who is trying to really carve his own corner doing his thing. Many of us have enjoyed his work, sheep or not. I don't know what the full story is here but I am very intrigued to hear Nigel's response to all of this.And Moj: I think you need to calm down a bit mate. You have enough enemies on this board. Is there any reason to create more? I support (encourage) your decision to highlight the similarities but hoping he will commit suicide is a little OTT.Oh, and if you want to talk about conspiracy theories: who wants to draw the connection between Nige posting this "controversial" article and sales of PowerSlam going up accordingly today? Mo, we demand answers! ;)

  3. I'm thinking about getting into puro, what tapes should I get?

    Probably covered by "If you are new to Japanese wrestling, get Super J Cup 94 because it's an easy to follow tournament format and has lots of people you'll already know. Black Tiger is Eddy Guerrero in a mask. Then get a recent Best of Japan TV (insert month) tape which shows you the different promotions. Toryumon is probably the easiest to get into for a WWE viewer."
  4. i am going to middlesex university, and my bus takes a long time to get there, but it is paid for already so that is a good thing.

    hmm, my bus takes a long time to get to university......but it is NOT paid for already.Momi, what do you mean by 'paid for already?'
    Get your Daily Mails at the ready, folks.
    Birchill's v Momi, 12 rounds to a finish. Right after the break.
  5. If people can leave photos of thenmselves it would help me I know that.

    Somebody drag the picture thread back up and put some more pics in. Ebbguy, need a pic of you from the front (for starters. Got another possible one, but will take a bit of doing to get it looking good).
    The problem with that thread is that its around 18 pages long, and a lot of it is people arguing over the "UKFF sexiest male" thing :/ It's quite time-consuming wading through all the posts looking for a particular poster.
