: I have seen Frontier Wrestling Alliance and X Wrestling Alliance used to hold shows in a place called "Sports Nottingham" (as the name states) in Nottingham. Does that place exists or is it gone? I tried looking on Google if there was an address of that place to locate it on Google maps and see if that place's name is correct but I can't find anything.

Sport Nottinham was the name given to the gym and leisure centre attached to Notts County FC. Other promotions like NBW ran a lot of shows there. Here is a pic from Google Street View in 2008.

#2: Any clue of what's the name of the masked person that acted as the blind date guest host for XWA's last show in September 2018?

Reckon the masked guy is Gideon Grey mate, not right sure but looking at the card I think it might be.

The man in the mask is Super Tasty Bacon Jr., a Lucha Britannia/London Lucha League guy.

It helps that I think I might have been at this show! I was definitely a lot of LLL and XWA shows at the ResGal around that time, and Bacon was on a lot of them.

The XWA did a run of shows with some kind of gameshow gimmick on them and, in fairness, Gideon Grey was usually involved. They did Whose Clothesline Is It Anyway?, and "Word of Sport", which was alternating rounds of Countdown and World of Sport-rules wrestling.

I remember reading that Chris Candido was supposed to wrestle at the first ECW One Night Stand PPV in 2005 but obviously he died a couple of months before. Anyone know who he was going to wrestle on the show or had plans not got that far yet?

Hi guys, 

Now the WWE has moved to netflix is there still a way to legally watch the old library of past shows and PPVs that used to be on the network?

Thanks in advance if anyone can help

Netflix…in time.

NXT has been uploaded to YouTube, I wouldn't be surprised if WCW and/or ECW end up having original channels there too at some point instead of Netflix.
