I would have missed it đ Is this to do with something else in the schedules or do we reckon ITV are now starting to reflect their dissatisfaction with the product or/and ratings? It's the first week of the autumn schedules, which includes the start of X-Factor, so it's a natural point to review the timings. It's not necessarily a sign of impending doom, though presumably if it was doing gangbusters they might have stuck it on a bit later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

British Wrestling can be doing better than it ever has before, and then Alex Shane will show up and implement his rotten ideas and it all goes to cock. It frustrates me that this opportunity has seemingly been buggered up by such easy to rectify mistakes - and that's from someone who's not as engaged with British wrestling as many. Surely an ITV show would have the footage backed up? Lesser productions than this have. And if it has been, it's piss easy to multicam edit retrospectively. And of course introducing characters and their stories. That's incredibly obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted August 28, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 28, 2018 Not only do they botch the finish of the tag match, but they show a replay of it? Why was the Crater match a triple threat as opposed to a handicap match. It's all well and good saying "Look at Crater, he can beat two guys", but they've already had triple threats.I also get an awful feeling he's going to end up losing to a Grado Cutter to try and set the title match up. Why didn't the ref count when Liam Slater had the other guy pinned? I'm pretty sure that as Stu Hart's grandson Harry Smith is actually third generation? If I never see Grado on my TV again it'll be too soon. We have two heel teams competing for the title? Who are we supposed to get behind? That main event needed more running into the corners and botches. If an ymatch needed some crowd sweetening it was that main event which played out to pretty much silence.

Paid Members PunkStep Posted September 1, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted September 1, 2018 That'll just likely be whatever NGW tour Alex already had booked, with a few Scottish guys chucked in to make it WOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meexcellent Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Looks like they mixed the episode up this week. I was at the final taping (shows 9 and 10). Martin Kirby vs Joe Hendry was on the final show! You note before the match there is different people sitting behind the commentators. Must be a scheduling thing as obviously was just a random match with no title effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dart Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 People can criticise the camera work on this, 5 minutes into PCWâs TV show, Iâm turning it off.  The camerawork makes it unwatchable. Obviously itâs not a directly fair comparison, but Iâm making it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted September 2, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted September 2, 2018 It's good that they spent the time establishing Joe Hendry and Martin Kirby as submission specialists so their submission match made sense as a logical conclusion to their feud. "Discus lariat, and that's why they call him Justin Syzum" Is there some kind of ancient Greek thing I'm missing? Is Crater actually in a 3 on 1 handicap match next week, or is it a fatal 4 way and the other 3 guys will decide to team up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordsfromlee Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I just saw the repeat of last nights show was on so flicked it over to see what it's like as I haven't actually watched any yet. Kirby walking to the ring with his arm in a sling and the biggest panto pained expression. Then getting the announcer to read a note that he'd written explaining why he can't compete. I presumed this must have been a live stream of a Butlins show or something and turned it straight off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Discus throw was one of the events in Ancient Greek Pentathlon and dates back to around 700BC. I reckon that the commentators lucked into that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sphinx Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 But is there anything in the name Justin Syzum that relates to the discus or ancient Greece? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
