Paul Burchill Shoot Interview - DVD Review

Shortly before his departure for pastures new in WWE, British wrestling star Paul Burchill sat down with the FWA Academy production crew for his first ever shoot interview.

Jake "The Snake" Roberts - Pick Your Poison - DVD Review

When Jake Roberts made a surprise appearance on Raw last year, it was obvious that he had developed a new working relationship with Vince McMahon, and that it would only be a matter of time before a DVD compilation would be released, looking back at his controversial career. Pick Your Poison is the end result here.

Sometimes, when you buy a tape off a guy on the internet, you don’t know what you’re getting. Sometimes the quality is excellent, and sometimes the quality is very poor. But there are times when you can be pleasantly surprised, as was the case when I managed to get a hold of Robbie Brookside’s Video Diaries.

TNA Against All Odds 2006 - PPV Review

It’s been a while since I’ve reviewed one of TNA’s pay-per-view offerings, so what better place to re-start than with their most recent offering, Against All Odds, from the Impact Zone at the Universal Studios in Florida, and shown on a one week delay on the Wrestling Channel here in Britain.

WWE No Way Out 2006 - PPV Review

The road to Wrestlemania 22 continues, with Smackdown’s regular February pay-per-view, No Way Out, this month emanating from Baltimore.

Wrestling With Shadows - DVD Review

In 1997, writer and director Peter Jay was given unlimited access to one of the greatest wrestlers in history as he went through the most troublesome time of his career. Wrestling With Shadows takes a look at the life and career of Bret “Hitman” Hart, at a time when both his life and the entire wrestling business were going through drastic changes.

Pride Heavyweight Grand Prix 2004 - DVD Review

In 2004, the Pride Fighting Championship organisation brought together some of the world’s top heavyweight fighters a single elimination tournament. Over three shows spanning some five months they fought to see who was the best, and these shows now make up a six DVD set, the Pride Heavyweight Grand Prix 2004, which is now available from FightDVD.

Those were the days, when two of professional wrestling’s most powerful men would take part in constant games of one-upmanship as they strived to capture the almighty dollar, and more importantly, those valuable ratings figures.

LDN The Showdown - DVD Review

Another new promotion gets it’s first exposure in The Two Sheds Review here. After co-promoting several shows with the Frontier Wrestling Alliance, king of the shill Sanjay Bagga struck out on his own with his own promotion, LDN Wrestling, and it’s the DVD release of their debut show, The Showdown, held in November 2004, that we’re taking a look at here.

DWOW St. Patty's Day T & A Fiasco - DVD Review

Having recently reviewed the 2002 Dangerous Women of Wrestling “Hovember” release, I have to admit that I was somewhat reluctant to give the other DVD the promotion sent me, “St. Patty’s Day T&A Fiasco”, held in March 2004, a chance. But I’m always willing to give wrestling promotions a second chance to impress me. So here goes.

Jonny Storm Shoot Interview - DVD Review

“The Wonderkid” Jonny Storm is one of the best wrestlers in Britain at the moment. Jonny has been everywhere, from Hammerlock and the FWA in Britain to XPW and CZW in America to Zero-One in Japan, and in January 2005 he sat down with the FWA Academy production team to record his first ever shoot interview.

Colt Cabana's European Vacation - DVD Review

He is regarded as one of the top stars on the American indy circuit at the moment, and in 2004, “Classic” Colt Cabana embarked on a two month wrestling tour of Europe, competing for some of the continent’s top promotions, and he captured it all for posterity in DVD form with Colt Cabana’s European Vacation, courtesy of Wrestlestuff productions.

DWOW Hovember - DVD Review

I’m always interested in seeing a wrestling promotion I haven’t seen before, so when I started getting press releases from the American-based Dangerous Women of Wrestling, I contacted their press office about reviewing some of their DVDs. Happy to oblige, the first of the DVDs they sent me was from an event called Hovember, held in November 2002.

WWE New Year's Revolution - PPV Review

Following on from my review of Pride 5 a few days go, I’ve managed to find the time to watch the second disc in this two DVD set, Pride 6.

Pride 5 - DVD Review

A first for The Two Sheds Review here. Although I’ve reviewed MMA shows from UFC, Cage Warriors and K-1, I’ve never seen a show from the Pride Fighting Championships. So, with help from Wrestle-Zone UK’s Gary Graham, here’s the first part of my review of Pride’s latest two disc set, a review of Pride 5.
