"Anti-workrate"
I love Sid more than I love my dog, honestly. And I prefer my dog to most of my family. If I get around to a list, Sid's going in there.

Other Promotion's Wrestlemania
It was FA Cup finals day for Joint Promotions, I believe. And I assume in San Francisco it was the November Battle Royal.

Bob Mould of Husker Du/WCW creative fame talks wrestling...
I dunno. I only bought it for the hope of WCW stuff in there. Much like I'd buy a Zoogz Rift book to read about Abrams' UWF. I don't really know who Husker Du are, I'm more of a pop music guy.

Introduction to the Board as a wrestling fan
Now you say the Coliseum, I'm pretty sure that was the one plugged in PS. I think a Mike Hough does have a hand in HXC as well. EDIT: A quick google proves you correct.

Introduction to the Board as a wrestling fan
Welcome. Where was the wrestling shop in Manc? Afflecks? I have a fuzzy memory of a wrestling shop being plugged in PS, but on the other hand that could have been Majik's in Cov.

This should be Zeb Colter's entrance music
Ugh, he's like a God on BBC Radio Wales, is him. Wynne Evans. Annoying DJ. Did the anthem before Welsh rugby internationals at the Millennium occasionally too. Can't be doing with him. Played a wrestler in awful Ruth Jones sitcom vehicle Stella as well.

WWF's introduction of music in the 80s
That theme is fucking spectacular!

Yeah, he spends a chapter on his time in WCW...

WWF's introduction of music in the 80s
Taken from Modest Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, the same place Alan Hawkshaw did a great arrangement of Promenade from which was used as the theme tune to The New Statesman.

Wrestlers you really dislike
Going back to 3 posts ago, how is Matt Sydal a jock? He's tiny! As a former rugby playing school bully, he'd not get in my inner circle when I was 15 being that small.

Wrestlers you really dislike
We let people have their vote. Someone really liked Sir Mo. Duane Gill made an appearance. Great Khali got in there too, but he had super cult status on there.

Sir Mo was in the UKFF Top 50 Wrestlers of all time. A true legend of the game.

Wrestle Kingdom 10

The Beginner's Guide To British Wrestling
You liked the McMichael vs Kung Fu "Footjob match"? Never moan about King Orig again. On PN News, you'd be right about him having a better career in the UK, and he indeed has. He's been a full timer over here for years and years as Cannonball Grizzly working for All-Star.

Wrestlers you really dislike
I absolutely fucking despise Joltin Bobby Bolton, as I watch 1997 USWA. I don't know why but I've absilutely no time for him and he's ruining Mike Samples for me.

Hogan winning the title at WM9
To be fair, Bartlett was only around for about 2 months. I still think Superstars was the A show for a while in Raw's history. At least it still felt like that early on.

The Beginner's Guide To British Wrestling
I'm pretty sure EWF was Flesh Gorden's promotion, that's why Orig ended up on commentary on the English language broadcasts. Probably as payback for Orig letting Flesh be the drizzling shits on Reslo.

Hogan winning the title at WM9
I was 7, hence I thought it was the dogs bollocks and was jumping around the front room pumping my fists in celebration. I never took to that Bret Hart. I was Hogan all the way.

Most Understandable Heel Turns
Barry Windham in 1992. He had experience of not taking advantage of accidentally nutting someone in the pills and going on to lose, and Rhodes should have listened to the more experienced team mate. Anyway, history repeats, Windham's cost his title.

Vince Russo's Unsolved Mysteries
Wouldn't a turn by it's very nature always be at the very end of the match? It'd be counter productive if it happened in the first 30 seconds so the turner would make sure they managed to get their turn in and fucked off then the turnee won later on. Unless it's in a tag match then I've no problem with the turning bloke fucking off halfway through to leave a 2 on 1 for the turned on to valiantly fail against.

Your Most Hated World Title Reign in History
The Miz's reign is saved by the top flight program with Jerry Lawler. Testament to The King's greatness, that.

Great wrestling promos from outside wrestling
Phil Bennett, Wales Rugby captain's motivational speech to his team before playing England - 1977 Imagine it with the heavily accented poetic lilting Welsh cadence. That's a money promo by Bennett. Dripping with emotion, steeped in fact, and delivered with purpose.
