Is Shinsuke Nakamura booked? He used to actually play for Celtic. 😄

He died on 23rd May, US time. Early hours of the 24th over here.

The last thing I expected to hear that Monday morning at school.

Just so, so sad.

Following MPW's closure, Triple X Wrestling emerged, attempting to offer a more adult-oriented product. Despite consistently positive reviews, it never quite captured the audience it deserved. However, it likely played a crucial role in shaping the approach of many major promotions we see today. AMP while it had some overlap with Triple X seemed to be an attempt to bring the Triple X style of wrestling and make it more family-friendly, I never got to witness an AMP show myself but they seemed to get good reviews much like Triple X did.

Especially fond memories of an AMP show in January 2010 where there was snow on the ground and maybe 40 people braved it to see the likes of Zack Sabre Jr., Mark Andrews, Pete Dunne, Big Damo and Nikki Cross. Triple X was a bit of a forerunner for Attack!, not only in some of the wackier stuff presented, but also in that they gave a bit of a platform to a number of the guys who were just starting to break out. I always thought having an Ax title, a Smash title and a Crush title was good as well, haha!

AMP was good - Another Midlands Promotion.

I believe it's comfortably nestled in my big, glossy programme with Undertaker on the cover!

I remember being a bit stressed that night that Crush would show up and attack Randy Savage.

Razor came out in Savage's match to fuck with Shawn, but, for a second, I thought it was Crush.

I should add that I was a big Kona Crush fan, so the turn angle must have affected me, haha!

Went to the Cardiff leg, my first WWF show.  Sat in the balcony.  Same card but in a different order, we had Kid vs Martel as the opener and it was ace. A photo of it made the next day's Western Mail/South Wales Echo and I still have the cutting, along with a copy of that same issue of 'Wrestling News'! A little over six months later and I saw Hogan on the front of Issue 2 of Power Slam and that was my forage into the behind-the-scenes aspect of the business properly underway. But will always have a place in my heart for that December 93 dirtsheet. Onita in the Rumble would've been a trip, haha! Thanks for posting this.

Apologies for the unintentional quadruple post! It is a great theme, though!

Oh come on guys, this is clearly the winner...

Oh come on guys, this is clearly the winner.

Oh come on guys, this is clearly the winner.

Oh come on guys, this is clearly the winner.

He clearly needs to be 'Reg'.

It's class, man, The Bloodline!

What a saga.

AND Cody is bigger deal from that Brock match.

AND they still have the title change card to play, when they wish.

If they wish.

The title reign of the century.

As someone who has never seen Rush, whats so good about him ?

 

What are examples of some of his better matches ? 
 

Thanks

1986 cup final, 1989 cup final and Germany at the Arms Park.

The #1 babyface as the WWF took over wrestling. And the #1 heel as WCW did. 

He had epic WrestleMania main event matches in three different decades.

If you don't at least understand Hogan's success, you likely weren't there and actively don't want to.

First Collision I've watched and I thought it was a strong show.

Do they always have those graphics in the bottom left corner promoting upcoming bouts for later/future shows?

Felt they ended up being a detriment to what was a good watch - although I can understand trying to hook any channel changers.

They seemed to overdo them, for me.

But yeah, strong watch.

MJF is especially superb.

It's a fair comment, but so was Tamura's.

Anyway, fuck the Tories.

Randy Savage being completely fucked by the events of SummerSlam 92, carrying over into his title loss to Flair at TV.

One of the greatest sellers ever.

McIntyre is cost the title by Solo... but goes off with Kross.

Rhodes is cost the title by Solo... but goes off with Lesnar.

Are we all deducing Solo is a man not to be fucked with?!

You'd have to think if they are as speculated running Craven Cottage then the snow would be taking place at the end of the season, so June or July?

And to think people don't believe in global warming...

He should do a full Morrissey gimmick, complete with loaded gladioli.

Great that they showed him love while he was still with us. Seemed like a cracking guy. Made people happy. RIP Don. Cheers sir.

This as well!

Nessun Dorma though.

Ban shirtless blokes on the streets/in the shops. Haaaate it.
