Reignite the Les vs Spider feud.

"Recovering" alcoholic Les isn't he? Not to be that guy and ruin the fun but not great hearing of him like this

He looks happy and healthy?

Must've missed that!

I think fair play to him, I have no idea why he is suddenly a wrestler, and yeah getting drunk at a indie show is a bit too Scott Hall for comfort, but its all in good fun, I suppose, and he is a grown man.

He lives in my home town in North Wales and is always in the pub. Never to the extent he was years ago but he's certainly not tee total.

Yeah he’s in some deathmatch tournament tonight in Hull! If it wasn’t the other end of the country I’d have been tempted with that 

Had no idea this was happening and I live there. The Welly is an absolute shithole as well, which will have lent itself well to the deathmatch vibe

For anyone interested, Les came out in double denim and opened with the Scott Hall line from his Nitro debut, which is superb.

I also met him at a gig in Abergele where he was off his fucking face and gave me career advice and that he and an old mate were 'this close to being the next Little & Large, but he got married didn't he!'

He didn't stay for the gig as he was asked to buy a ticket. Interesting fella and given he's had some mad shit in his life I do understand it a bit.

He found one of Peter Sutcliffe's victims, and it sounds like he's had a rough time at times. Hopefully, he's doing well.

Great shot of the Steiners doing their thing in the Tokyo Dome in '91.

Just fancied preserving these 10 year old photos (two I took, one I didnt) from Gloucester which I think perfectly capture the joy of what following BritWres was like for a while.

Here's the venue, can't remember where I found this image but I must have been having a piss.

Here's the ring bell, which is the most "twee BritWres" thing I'd ever seen to this point :

And here's one of the matches that drew me to the show to begin with. Liger wrestling in front of leisure centre five a side goals and your actual Mayor.

 

.... this was not long before the return show for some of the New Japan lads where allegedly Matt Jarrett paid Tanahashi to come to his birthday party and pretend they were mates.

A rare Rick Martel sighting (from Conrad Thompson's Twitter).
