Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted August 17, 2018 Awards Moderator Share Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) Whoa whoa whoa whoa. Jane Childs wasn't a real person?! Next you'll be telling me Dean Ayass is just a bot who posted on this forum occasionally, and that guy with Burchill was a figment of my imagination!

Paid Members PunkStep Posted August 17, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 17, 2018 Next you'll be saying that the Drew McDonald VS Robbie Brookside classic at British Uprising didn't happen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpo Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 On 8/3/2018 at 10:11 PM, Big Benny HG said: 15 years ago today was one FWA's best ever matches: Doug Williams & Jody Fleisch vs. Christopher Daniels & Jonny Storm. It was the all-star tag team main event in the Horwich Leisure Centre near Bolton. Night 2 of the Northern Exposure Tour (of which I attended all 3 nights!). Great show, and a fantastic main event. Really memorable weekend, actually, going across the north of England following the wrestling (Morecambe the night before, Cleethorpes the night after, including surprise bonus American Dragon!). I can't believe it's a decade-and-a-half ago!! I *think* that was my first live wrestling show, thinking about it? You and your bloody airhorn. A new Horwich Leisure Centre has been built next to the old one, which is soon to be demolished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just found the show pics from Cleethorpes 2003 Northern Exposure Tour. And Bolton. And here's a pic I took of the tour bus as we were about to make the trip up north Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members DEF Posted August 22, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 22, 2018 Those photos are awesome. All summer I've been meaning to dig out my FWA VHS collection and digitize them. I still have a working VHS player for now at least but I don't see me hooking it up to my TV many more times. Would be nice to have that old stuff at a click of a button.

Paid Members DEF Posted August 22, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 22, 2018 I'm at loose end next week so hopefully we'll sort that out. Out of interest who owns the original FWA shows? Seems a shame they aren't available to buy online on pivotshare or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, well yeah I might be the only one daft enough to keep all his VHS wrestling tapes but surely someone is the rights owner with the original masters etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members El Mistique Posted August 23, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 23, 2018 @Mark Sloan Would know I’d imagine. I would hazard a guess the bits he produced like FWA:A etc would be properly protected by copyright etc. I’d love to see the TWC series pop up on YouTube. I’ve been searching it out for a few years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Big Benny HG Posted August 23, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 23, 2018 I still have the full run of the original Portsmouth TV series on VHS, as well as No Surprises 4, Uprising 1 (pts 1 & 2), Frontiers of Honor (pts 1 & 2), Uprising 2, Vendetta 2003, Hotwired 2003, the Northern Exposure Tour and the Fan Club exclusive tape (despite not being a member of the fan club). I have a few of the 2004-2005 shows (mainly Morecambe ones) on DVD too, as well as a few individual matches on DVD recorded from the 2004 TWC TV series. My plan was to do a big rewatch project at one point, during which I would convert them to digital, but just never got round to it. Still want to one day. I know someone who has a lot of The Wrestling Channel episodes digitally (but are missing a few episodes), and I've already seen some pre-Portsmouth TV stuff (When Thunder Strikes, Evil Intentions etc.) floating around on YouTube, so there's a possibility if it all came together that there is pretty much the entire run...

elisarcabrera Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 (edited) Flukily found the vhs with the dirty SANCHEZ clip of flash destorying the mtv SANCHEZ boys. Thought it had been with other tapes in the fire. However turns out it had literally fallen behind the desk and been sitting unseen on the floor behind this whole time. its up on my YT now Edited August 23, 2018 by elisarcabrera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members DEF Posted August 23, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 23, 2018 I haven't seen that in years. In much the same way as I've kept all my wrestling VHS tapes I also have a couple thousand DVDs I'll probably never watch again in the cupboard. One of which is Dirty Sanchez season 1. I'll look for that whilst I'm at it and see if there any more FWA stuff on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
