WCL Season 2 Episodes 1-4 - DVD Review

It’s debut time in The Two Sheds Review as we take a look at the World Combat League. Founded in 2005 by film star Chuck Norris, the WCL is a full contact striking competition, incorporating styles from boxing, muay thai, kick boxing, karate and tae kwon do, and like MMA’s M-1 Challenge it’s a team event.

TNA Destination X on Extreme Sports - TV Review

What you are about to read is a review I had hoped to bring you last weekend. Having missed out on Genesis and Against All Odds, TNA finally found a decent home for their pay-per-views here in Britain with the Extreme Sports Channel. But the first showing of Destination X was marred by a monumental cock-up as the final hour of the show was cut, leaving many fans angry and annoyed, and even more so when they found out that the second showing clashed with a certain other wrestling show. So it was lucky for me that our house has two satellite receivers, which means that I can now bring you a full review of this particular show.
