Paid Members DEF Posted July 12, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted July 12, 2018 How many and what were the FWA York Hall shows? I'm sure I missed at least one. From memory I can only think of British Uprising 1&2 and Frontier's of Honor. I'd love one of those top 20 clip shows on the FWA. If I were more organized I'd even give it a shot.

Paid Members Teedy Kay Posted July 12, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted July 12, 2018 (edited) It went to shit the moment they started going up North more and more. Wasn't it Morecambe they were running more regularly? I assume this was when Greg Lambert became more actively involved? I found it a great shame that it started to go up it's own arse a little, the quaintness and rebellious nature faltered as the necessity to entertain kids crept in, that spark and energy it had was lost, it's appeal was drained and I sort of felt that the fan that was ringside for well over a year without missing a show, wasn't wanted anymore. They tried the next step, and they fell on their faces. That Simmons double turn ... Perfection. Edited July 12, 2018 by Teedy Kay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Teedy Kay Posted July 12, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted July 12, 2018 So was Brent, ugh. Broxbourne holds a special little place in my heart though. Getting off that train and walking up to the venue, stopping halfway at the B&B if I had enough cash to stay there (if not it was the bench at the train station for me) held atmosphere brilliantly and had a great area for pre/mid/post show drinks and Video queues.

JakeRobertsParoleOfficer Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 For some reason a show at the Pyramids centre in Portsmouth sticks out in my mind around 2000 with Flatliner on it. Wasn't that one of the first FWA shows? Also seem to remember seeing Lil Guido and Nova at some shows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted July 12, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted July 12, 2018 Crazy that all these years later Jody Fleisch has been invited to PWG's Battle of Los Angeles. There's a good argument to be made that this could be the biggest break of his career. If you impress at BOLA, everyone on earth seems to book you. It's the hottest fed going for people booking you off the back of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always remember flatliner looking like Scott steiner then. Kinda looked a big deal as alot of the other wrestlers were considerably smaller in comparison. Funny what you remember nearly 20 yrs later (flatliner was in camo pants). Having just looked it up flatliner just turned 40 in May this year (2018) making him only 22 in 2000. Incredible has he looked about 35 then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broxbourne was brilliant. One of my favourite memories was watching a 7 year old child F5 his brother into the lake/river and then watching as his mum gave him the bollocking of his life while his dad tried to look angry but was not so secretly incredibly proud.

Paid Members Thunderplex Posted July 12, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted July 12, 2018 Elisar, what I remember most about your posts is that you always had an avatar of a woman with amazing knockers. Have missed that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it still exists in his own archive of course. I believe all that old stuff is all gone for good, unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back when the FWA was formed the industry (if you could call it that?) was at an all time low. Most of the WOS wrestlers were retiring & those left were really struggling to survive with Dixon just doing Croydon & Bristol once a month. Looking back at all the young talent that went through the FWA, it really was ground breaking at the time. When you look at the shear volume of shows currently & the amazing talent, compounded by the current WOS Wrestling TV taping & the heavy involvement of the WWE in the UK. I take my hat off to those guys in Fratton who dared to dream & paved the way for what looks like a really great time to be a British Wrestling fan.
