Â Nor did they to me in 2002. I think it was a case of people getting their hands on a 56K modems in school and thinking, fucking hell, Kevin Nash is shit as he can't do all of these flips.... At least Jake got top billing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted February 5, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted February 5, 2013 That was the thing I mentioned earlier in the thread. A Supershow in 2003 to me would have included indy wank like AJ Styles, Raven, X-Pac, D'Lo Brown, possibly Chris Daniels and those kinds of folk. CZW wasn't getting much coverage in Power Slam (which was still the measuring stick of publicity over here in 2003) and wasn't half as masturbated over like ROH was. I suppose the whole Fans Bring The Weapons thing added with Jake Roberts was a big selling point at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought CZW best of the best 2 on VHS (mid june 2002) because Jody and Jonny were there and it was hyped up on the talksport radio show (which is why I went to Revival and Uprising too.) So thats probably where CZW got some traction. Â Presumably thats a big reason why Alex went mental too. The FWA and Talksport had generated some small stars and interest, and he probably wasnt too happy about spreading the wealth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members garynysmon Posted February 5, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted February 5, 2013 I didn't know much about Alex Shane other than he owned the FWA and used to co-present the Talksport Wrestling show. But after reading Greg Lambert's (excellent) e-book and then this debacle, he comes across as a bit of an egotistical twat to say the least.

Moderators neil Posted February 5, 2013 Moderators Share Posted February 5, 2013 It is pretty funny hearing the BritWres stories. Talk about fighting over crumbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Up Chuck Posted February 5, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted February 5, 2013 It really is fighting over crumbs, but even I, in the tiny insignificant places I had in BritWres, found it incredibly easy to get sucked into the drama, even if it was just developing opinions or feeling like I was part of a "side" when something kicked off. It's just an enveloping environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
