WWE Backlash on Sky Sports - TV Review

So will the age of Orton continue, or will a new (or old) age be ushered in? And is that a re-vamped version of Werewolves of London I hear? Hopefully these questions will be answered as WWE presents the tenth annual Backlash, which will also give me my first chance to see what Mike Adamle is really like, and to see if new Smackdown announcer Mick Foley has improved since the first One Night Stand.

Strictly Baby Fight Club on Channel 4 - TV Review

As a life-long fan of combat sports, I always try to catch any documentary that’s shown on television, and this was the case this past Thursday night with the latest in Channel 4’s Cutting Edge series, Strictly Baby Fight Club. Although I have to admit that I had considered not watching the programme at all, given that the trailers had shown ten year old kids trying to beat the crap out of each.

Live For Sunday - DVD Review

To say that Marshall Ward is your average wrestling fan would be a huge understatement. With a house filled with wrestling memorabilia some would say that he is a wrestling fanatic, so when he got the chance to travel from his home in Canada to rural Virginia to meet his childhood wrestling hero, he jumped at the chance, and just happened to take a film crew along with him.
“Live For Sunday” is the end product of Ward’s meeting with WWE Hall of Famer “Handsome” Jimmy Valiant at the world famous Boogie Wrestling Camp in Shawsville, Virginia. First opened in 1992, Valiant trains his students for four hours every Sunday, tutoring them in the ways of the wrestling business, in the hope that they’ll go on to make a living in the business he loves.
