Farewell Wrestle-Zone!

Today is truly a sad day as far as the Internet wrestling community goes, as it was just a few moments ago that I learned that one of the biggest wrestling websites in Europe is closing it's doors, perhaps for good.

Wrestle-Zone (www.wrestle-zone.co.uk) is perhaps one of the best websites this column has appeared on. In it's prime, the site was getting over 400,000 hits a week. With a great team of writers who provided news and commentary from around the world, the site's owner, Gary Graham, established a site that ranked alongside Smash Wrestling, Pro Wrestling Daily, 1 Wrestling, and many, many more.

But as with many other things in life, all good things must come to an end. Although I am sad to see Wrestle-Zone close it's doors, it's good to see that Gary will be going on to other things. His Wrestle Zone Wrestling (WZW) promotion is gaining a strong following in the north-east of England, getting some good media coverage, and is attracting well-known stars such as Jonny Storm, Alex Shane, the U.K. Pitbulls, Iceman, James Tighe, and the legendary Jake "The Snake" Roberts. Things are looking great for this promotion as they embark on their "Breakout" tour. For more details on these events, you can log onto their website at www.wzwuk.com.

So as Wrestle-Zone closes it's doors, I'd just like to say a big thank you to Gary for giving me the chance to air my views on the wrestling world on his great website, and to wish him and his ever-growing promotion all the best for the future. Maybe I'll get the chance to see the WZW product in person sometime soon. (If I can't Gary, please feel free to post me a couple of videos to review, hint hint!)
