  1. Had to log in after years to reply to this topic, but oh the memories of the FWA, something me and my mum fondly speak about whenever wrestling comes up.

    I still have a whole stack of programmes and pictures spanning from Trick or Treat (when Steve Corino made a surprise appearance which blew my mind) up to Goldrush where by that time, like many, felt that it was no longer for me. 

    But that run between those years was spectacular. 

    Some particular highlights 

    • The Seasons Beatings round robin tournament with Jerry Lynn!!!! coming out at the to make it a 3 way dance
    • The hardcore matches between Alex, Ulf and The Family
    • Cheese on toast my mum would make when I got home.
    • Winning the No Surprises 4 Talksport competition with my idea for the sign "Parker vs Barker, a commentators worst nightmare"
    • Broxbourne in general, the atmosphere there was amazing and was the best venue for the London area
    • Meeting , and having embarrassing pictures with, people who went on to be stars including CM Punk, American Dragon, AJ Styles and Samoa Joe
    • Some of the music was hilarious, and I heard that a DJ in Camden would actually play Alex Shane's Disturbed rip off music on a Saturday night
    • Seeing Christopher Daniels win the title just 2 weeks after British Uprising
    • The atmosphere at the first British Uprising, something I don't think was replicated, I think it was the excitement of it being the first one, I felt British Uprising 2 was a bit of a let down actually, but the first one had the perfect mix.

    As mentioned though, the main take away is my mum having been there for the majority of the shows, we first started going in 2001, just over a year after my dad passed away, so we were both in a weird state, but wrestling became this world that we could immerse ourselves into and look forward to every month, even though we would both be knackered on a Monday after a trip to Broxbourne. My mum fondly remembers how nice everyone was there and has often said she would like to go see wrestling again at some point. 

     

    Edit: Couple of my pics that I had posted on Facebook
