king_dezeeuw06 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Would love to see more articles on British Indies, maybe longer interviewing the various promoters and talent. Fight Club Pro doesn't get much / any of a mention considering their surge from obscurity to one of the most exciting shows over the last 18 months or so. PCW, IPW, Southside and Progress all get a mention now and again but for the quality of shows they are putting on deserve some more column inches. Â I'd also like to see more on Japan and the top USA indies, not seen much about CZW and how far their product have come since DJ took over. Â I always think most people will have access / have seen TNA and WWEs recent shows so although many readers will only know about those 2 products, so they obviously need focus to sell magazines, but do you really need to talk about them so much as most of the time you will be likely be telling people about stuff they just saw rather than giving them new info. While there is so much exciting / variety being shown in so many other promotions around the world that deserve to be heard about. Â I love my Japan and indie stuff, but I don't know a lot of the back story of many of the guys, the the piece on Tozowa where it explained where he came from and how he got to his spot, explaining some of his key moments that lead him there was a fantastic read and told me some stuff I genuinely didn't know and gave me some excellent matches to check out.

King Pitcos Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 By rights it should be about 70% WWE, 23% TNA, 7% niche shite, 0% UFC. Except maybe a sidebar in a Brock Lesnar article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sava Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I was actually thinking of subscribing to this but the website just says coming soon and I can't see any other way to subscribe? I have never seen this magazine in a shop near me either so I cant really just pop out and buy it.

Brian Elliott Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Has the Beautifal People interview been dropped? I'm afraid so. All I can say is that if we had printed it, you would've been much more disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted October 4, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted October 4, 2012 Angelina Love was under Winter's spell again and wouldnt answer Brian's questions is my guess.

The Reverend Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 The awesome 'Memphis Wrestling History 1982' is reviewed in the new issue and you can now order it from here: Â Â http://www.amazon.co.uk/Memphis-Wrestling-...3485&sr=1-1 Â Can't recommend enough, it's one of the best Wrestling books I've read and it's an amazing price too. Well worth buying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sava Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I really want to buy this but for the 4th month in a row my local WH Smith's (Bury) has not had it in. When I have asked at the counter I was told a variety of answers, from 'There is no such magazine,' to, 'Never heard of it,' to 'We don't sell rubbish like that.' Â When I have tweeted Brian, he has told me that one months supply was water damaged, but they have not had an issue since, so they must be dropping each months issues directly in the bath. Â I don't want to subscribe, but would be buying it regularly, but am not willing to travel into Manchester or Bolton just to buy it.

Â It was the one in the Millgate Centre in Bury. To be fair, I went this afternoon and the mag WAS in. There was one copy, which I found behind an issue of Boxing Monthly. This was the first time I have found a copy in there. It is the worst branch of Smiths for customer service I have ever come across. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
