It’s hard to believe that Ring of Honor has been around for many years now. In that time we’ve seen tremendous matches from the likes of Samoa Joe, Christopher Daniels, A.J. Styles, C.M. Punk and Colt Cabana, to name but a few. But word has it that because of their television deal the company could be on it’s last legs, and that their match quality has slipped somewhat.

WWW 2nd Anniversary Spectacular - DVD Review
I’m going to continue the theme of women’s wrestling with this latest review, by going back to a promotion I first looked at last year.

As always, the main man of NECW, Sheldon Goldberg, is handling commentary duties.Saturday, April 18, 2009

This edition of The Two Sheds Review will see us take another look at the world of women’s professional wrestling.

Having reviewed the first three shows of the Ultimate Combat Legacy Volume 1 box set, I’ve now made it to the fourth show, and this one has an added attraction for me, because it features one of my all-time favourite MMA fighters and professional wrestlers, Dan “The Beast” Severn, in Ultimate Combat 4: Eyes of the Beast.Wednesday, April 08, 2009
WWE Wrestlemania 25 on Sky Box Office - TV Review
Twenty years ago, a 17 year old wrestling fan, having first viewed the World Wrestling Federation two years before with a certain disdain, decided to give their product another go. The first show he really paid attention to was held at the Trump Plaza in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and was shown on a two month delay on Sky Channel here in Britain. That show was Wrestlemania V, and that wrestling fan was yours truly. Now, twenty years on, the biggest show in the history of professional wrestling is still going strong, with World Wrestling Entertainment presenting Wrestlemania 25, shown live here in Britain on Sky Box Office, with Jim Ross, Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole handling commentary duties.Saturday, April 04, 2009

WSU Tag Team Title Tournament - DVD Review
This past December I took a first look at the all-women’s Women Superstars Uncensored promotion. So, as I thought I hadn’t seen any of their stuff in a while, I thought I’d take a gander at the second DVD they’ve sent to me to review, WSU Tag-Team Title Tournament, held this past September in Boonton, New Jersey.
