John.

Fascinating read from back in the day, I think this is the first time I have posted in about 5 years but this was a worthy thread.

Bethnal Green bomb threat, ah the memories.

Fuck 20/20. This is cricket.

But it only got interesting for the final 10 overs, there's a reason 20/20 is so popular and the test ended like a shortened version of the game.

Well done to Calzaghe he had to grind out that victory, made even harder after the 1st round knockdown and Hopkins doing all he could to spoil the fight.Thing is had Hopkins thrown more punches he looked like he might get some positive results, but by the end of the 6th looked shattered and then it was just a case of doing a job.The judges scorecards were interesting, 114-113 in favout of Hopkins, do me a favour!

Im going to be in NYC for this event, Necro vs Morishima sounds like it's gonna be brutal

I was discussing BJ Whitmer with an American friend at IPW:UK vs The World on Saturday night, and we couldn't work out what he brings to ROH in 2008!!I think I compared him to Matt Stryker who got a good run once, and even had a title shot against Samoa Joe..I appreciate not every wrestler has 'got it' but BJ bored me too tears..a definate fast forward wrestler!!

Im going to be in New York when the 10/05/08 show takes place at the Hammstein Ballroom.I know the venue is easy enough to get to, but how are they for sending tickets to the UK?Should I buy online, or email ROH direct and requestCheers

If possible, buy online and use a credit card rather than paypal, and you won't pay anything for postage as it's just tickets in a small envelope. They should be with you in a week.

The heavyweight division really has gone to the shits hasn't it..

It's not quite as simple as that young grasshopper

Anyone know if the Best of Chikara DVD is getting a UK release?I know Big Vision put out the XPW and ECW reunion DVDs, so what are the chances of seeing it down at my local woolworths

Im currently enjoying the SNES and MAME emulatos which allows me to play Striker, Super Ghouls and Ghosts, Fire Pro Wrestling on the SNES and WWF Wrestlefest, Wonderboy, Combat School and Track & Field on the MAME!!Nice

I used to have the TNAvsROH rom (for project64) when I was in Australia on my computer, but wanted to download here as I now have a laptop.Anyone know where I can locate it, as the old links that I used previously no longer work??Cheers

A article from todays Guardian online

http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/sport/2007/07/...real_showb.html

Another fallen wrestler, it sounds like very sad news connected to this situation however.Here's a bit I left on a page I do, might give someone a few moments of interest and maybe a smile??""The latest news about the death of Chris Benoit, follows an all too familiar trend of deaths at a young age of wrestling performers, I mean only last week we heard that Sherri Martel had passed away too.The reasons for the various wrestlers that have passed away have been different on many levels, but it does all lead to the same ending. Is there another profession, like film, music or other sports that has seen such a high loss of people linked to it in the past few years? Remember these aren

Surely if a fourth body is found, and hes killed one every single day, surely thats some sort of macabre record for the U.K.?And another thing. I'm not trying to defend the murderer, but the media outlets (Sky, BBC) need to remember that prostitution is very much illegal in this country. Half of it is the girls fault for being out there.Not trying to defend the guy.

OK im not the most PC minded, but since the other day when on youtube i can't view the videos. It keeps saying i either have javascript turned off (I don't it's on enabled) or need the new macromedia player (i have this) so why can't I get it to work?Any help would be greatly appreciated.Cheersjohn
