Also, Progress is obviously going to draw more on a Sunday afternoon when people can travel that day and avoid having to get accommodation and all that. Plus there's no entertainment competition then (outside the football season, at least) compared to a Friday night.

Have they not only had one show there? Rome wasn't built and all that.

Anyone remember the short period when they aired WCW Worldwide on Live and Dangerous, amongst all the baseball and golf and stuff? Quality. Channel 5 studio sport chat was the best, man.

Marina and the Diamonds.

Jericho would have been ace with the briefcase.

Yokozuna?! Hahaha! Vince Russo.

SCG was really good this week. PowerButchi's rant!

Kurt Angle, Mark Henry, Jeff Hardy, Bret Hart, John Cena, Randy Orton, Brock Lesnar...

 

Also, whoever is postering the Futureshock anniversary show deserves a raise, the things are everywhere.

 

Noted. Someone's getting bumped up to minimum wage this month...

Viva the Britwres boom!

Stuck on a random Clash last night. Opening match - Steiners vs Vader and Mr. Hughes. Cracking.

Flew by, I thought. Can't beat a bit of the Meltz!

Yup, I seem to hear it more and more and it's nonsense.

When did "family-friendly" wrestling become a derogatory term? The art of wrestling (ahem) is surely in being able to affect all kinds of people, not just a niche group.

Wrestling shirt sightings at Festwich festival in Manchester this weekend: Finn Balor, Ultimate Warrior, Kenny Omega, American Alpha, Seth Rollins, British Bulldog, The Bullet Club, Bayley. Musically, Metallica did Sting but not Hak. Also, whoever is postering the Futureshock anniversary show deserves a raise, the things are everywhere.

Jericho will know exactly what notes to play on the promos as well, he's the man for that kind of thing.

Yep, which is exactly what they were going for. And it adds an element of unpredictability for when they do the SummerSlam match. I'm game. 

"What is clocks?..."

Watched the WCCW one-match episode with Flair vs Kerry in the cage and Hayes as the special ref. Worth 45 minutes of your time, the presentation is sublime, it really feels like a major sporting event - albeit one where they'd let Michael Hayes referee in his jeans.

Toru Yano vs Kenny Omega was wonderful. Good tournament so far!

Was that Stephanie incident the last time Dusty was ever on TV? I imagine they're gutted if that's how it turned out, to be fair.

What do they own? Not the talent. Not the venues. Usually not the ring. The name? Sometimes. Patents, etc? Doubtful. It's just naff. You're a promoter, unless you're like Vince McMahon or somebody.

Random pet hate - indy promoters that refer to themselves as "owners".

Jarrett is the man. Bring him in. Jarrett vs Cena!

Vader vs Steamboat from 1992-93 WCW. A blinder.

Great new BBC article on Adrian Street. Some fantastic pictures.
