Paid Members Carbomb Posted August 4, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted August 4, 2011 We do when referring to wrestling, as in the Sidewalk Slam. The Path Slam just isnt as catchy. Â Would be "Pavement Slam". But that doesn't sound much better. Â A few things in wrestling sound lamer in British English, to be fair. Â "He got slammed on the drawing pins!" Â "Autumn Brawl" Â "Parking Space Brawl" Â Although I think "999" sounds much cooler than "911". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hitman89762000 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Plus there's a free afterparty and a Travelodge hotel is about a 2 minute walk away. I'm heading up from Newcastle, should be a belter. Travel and accom only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FailedPromoter Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 thats the show with summerslam airing after? Â I'm at the show in October, they'll be doing the same, but showing WWE Vengeance from what I'm hearing. Â Unfortunately can't attend the show this month.

Richie Freebird Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 "He got slammed on the drawing pins!" Â Drawing pins sound well more brutal to me. Â Though Thumtack Jack admittedly sounds a bit better than Drawing Pin Jim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted August 5, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted August 5, 2011 The American will just not accept the use of the word Autumn. Niagra Autumns just sounds wrong. We don't use fall at all. I once went to a wrestling show at the Drill Hall in Lincoln where the MC announced that the match would be best 2 out of 3 autumns. That was a while ago though.

Richie Freebird Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Fall is an English word originally, it just fell out of common usage over here. Â Pun intended? Â I now wanna see somebody debut as Drawing Pin Jim. Followed by his faction of Singapore Kane, Baking Tray Ray, Stop Sign Colin and Stapler Phil. Â They all sound like absolute fucking bad arses.

The Genius Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Thanks for everyones replies. Some were more amusing than others. I'll have a look into all that were suggested tonight. There's lots of good stuff on youtube though some of it is the drizzling shits qualitywise with cheap little shaky cameras and stuff but you can still usually get a good idea of who is worth paying to watch on there. I've always been more interested in the wrestlers themselves rather than the promotion and as most will rely on the guys they use to come up with the matches so for me i always look for shows using wrestlers who are experienced and respected. The uKff top50 usually gives a good run down of guys who you are worth watching and who are likely to see somewhere near to you as these are the kind of guys who are respected and get bookings up and down the country. Â There's also the UKW promotion on TV who are now using a lot of UKFF top 50 guys and they are using TV quality cameras and stuff so it's a good way to check out people for urself- Though some of their own guys are a bit less impressive. FWA have a good quality matches on youtube too but don't seem to film regular shows. There's a couple of others who have film in decent quality but they usually charge for the matches on DVD.

Â Unfortunately can't attend the show this month. Â Just confirmed the Vengeance screening for October with Walkabout management yesterday. It'll be part of the biggest weekend in Scottish wrestling history. PWE on Friday, PBW on Saturday, ICW on Sunday followed by an afterparty with the PPV.
