Frank Warren Presents Best of Boxing - DVD Review

It’s time for The Two Sheds Review to take a look at the world of professional boxing again, and what better place to do it than here in good old Britain, and with the help of one of the world’s biggest promoters.

Guest Booker with Raven - DVD Review

It’s June 1996. Kevin Nash and Scott Hall have just left the mighty World Wrestling Federation, and will soon jump ship to World Championship Wrestling, helping to launch the New World Order, and to ignite the Monday Night Wars. But what would have happened if they’d taken a different turning, and instead of heading to WCW, they head to ECW, and what if the ECW Champion, Raven, had just been installed as the new booker?

UFC The Ultimate Finale on Bravo - TV Review

Having recently reviewed the DVD release of The Ultimate Fighter 5, what better time is there for me to review the finale of the latest series (even though I’ve never seen any of the other episodes, so you‘ll have to excuse me if I don‘t exactly know much about some of the fighters), which was shown on a twenty-four hour delay on Bravo this past Sunday. As always, Mike Goldberg and Joe Rogan are there to call the action, so let’s get on with this thing.

UFC The Ultimate Fighter 5 - DVD Review

I’m not a fan of reality television. I used to be, when Big Brother was an interesting social experiment. Not it’s nothing more than a freak show, with contestants only wanting to take part because they think it will lead to fames and riches, when in most cases it doesn’t. Which is why I was somewhat reticent when I was asked to review the DVD release of The Ultimate Fighter 5.

Wrestlerock X - DVD Review

I seem to be doing a lot with anniversaries at the moment. Having just reviewed TNA’s sixth anniversary show, it’s now time to head down under for another celebration, with Australia’s tenth Wrestlerock show, held this past April at a new venue, The Hi-Far Bar in Melbourne, and headlined by Wrestlerock Champion Chris Knight defending his title against the no-nonsense Jag. Our hosts and commentators for the evening are Julian James and Michael Basham.

TNA Slammiversary on Bravo 2 - TV Review

It’s that time of the year again as Total Non-Stop Action celebrates it’s sixth birthday with their annual Slammiversary pay-per-view, shown on a three-day delay on Bravo 2 here in Britain, and headlined by the King of the Mountain match. As usual, our hosts for the evening are the Professor, Mike Tenay, and the man who really does need help from Trinny and Susannah, Don West.

UFC 85: Bedlam on Setanta Sports - TV Review

They’re back, and this time they’ve brought a little controversy with them - a fighter failing to make weight, another who connects with illegal blows, and a questionable referee decision is were the main talking points as the Ultimate Fighting Championship returned to the O2 Arena in London for UFC 85: Bedlam, broadcast live here in Britain on Setanta Sports. As usual, our hosts for the evening are Mike Goldberg and Joe Rogan.

WWF The Wrestling Classic - Retro Review

Ladies and gentleman, I think I’ve unearthed a gem from the past, dating back to November 1985, the World Wrestling Federation show “The Wrestling Classic”, featuring a sixteen man single elimination tournament, and another match in the legendary feud between WWF Champion Hulk Hogan and “Rowdy” Roddy Piper. After the initial introduction from Vince McMahon and Lord Alfred Hayes, it’s handed over to the commentators, Gorilla Monsoon and Jesse “The Body” Ventura.

WWE One Night Stand on Sky Sports - TV Review

It’s gimmick match overload time again - but it’s not on a TNA show, as WWE give us the annual extreme rules pay-per-view that used to belong to ECW - One Night Stand, with Triple H defending his WWE title against Randy Orton in a Last Man Standing match, and the Undertaker and Edge fighting it out over the vacant World title in a TLC match. All of the usual commentators are there, including The Adamle, so it’s straight on to the action.

Cage Gladiators on ITV4 - TV Review

This past Saturday British television channel ITV4 took their second stab at broadcasting an MMA show. Having shown just two episodes of the IFL last year, they’ve now turned their attentions closer to home with the Cage Gladiators promotion, showing matches from their recent Stand-Off show. The hosts for the show are Rob Hallam and Tom Baxter, with Emile Coleman and Kazeca Muniz handling the commentary duties.
