20th-26th September 2004

Monday, 20th September, 2004:
A change to the beginning of my viewing week, as I take in a repeat showing of New Japan's weekly show, as they present the best of Bob Sapp. But surely this is a contradiction in terms?

13th-19th September 2004

Monday, September 13th, 2004:
I'll let you all in on a little secret, shall I? When the WWF re-ignited my love for the wrestling business in 1989, one of the wrestlers I loved to watch was Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake. He was one of those larger than life characters that got me interested again.

6th-12th September 2004

Monday, 6th September, 2004:
Monday nights are going to seem a little different for a while, but my viewing habits returned to normal after nearly two months with the viewing of the second part of this Shoot Interview featuring Jerry "The King" Lawler.

24th August-5th September 2004

Tuesday, 24th August, 2004:
I must commend NWA Wildside for their efforts to bring back that dying breed of the wrestling business, the manager. However, this commendation doesn't actually go that far.

3rd-22nd August 2004

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2004:
A day after attending one of WAW's best show of recent times, I returned home to catch this week's Ring of Honor show, which showed the highlights of the sixty minute, four way, Iron Man match to crown the first Ring of Honor champion.

28th July-1st August 2004

Wednesday, 28th July, 2004:

A late start this week because of my commitments to a certain wrestling company. My first viewing this week is of TNA's weekly show, putting the NWA's finest against their Mexican counterparts from AAA.

19th-25th July 2004

Monday, July 19th, 2004:

"What's your opinion of the Ultimate Warrior?"

"Dun dun dun dun dun....."

12th-18th July 2004

Monday, 12th July, 2004:

These pay-per-views seem to come around quite often at the moment. Just two weeks after Smackdown gave us The Great American Bash, Raw pops up with their latest offering, Vengeance, which saw my boy Chris Benoit successfully defend the World title against Triple H, with a little help from my other boy Eugene, as well as Edge winning the I-C title from Randy Orton.

5th-11th July 2004

Monday, 5th July, 2004:

If it wasn't for Ken Shamrock, I would probably only have a passing interest in the mixed martial arts world. When Shamrock entered the WWF in 1997, I felt compelled to check out his background a little.

28th June-4th July 2004

Monday, June 28th, 2004:

Some have said it's the nail in the coffin as far as the Smackdown brand is concerned. Me, I thought it was quite refreshing.

21st-27th June 2004

Monday, 21st June, 2004:

After the memorable performance of the England football team against Croatia, I turned over to The Wrestling Channel to watch the latest Shoot Interview, this week featuring Dustin Rhodes.

7th-13th June 2004

Monday, 14th June, 2004:

It was a long, bloody, and at times quite brutal, but what looks like the final match in the long-running feud between Triple H and Shawn Michaels headlined the WWE's latest pay-per-view offering, Bad Blood.

31st May-6th June 2004

Monday, 31st May, 2004;
For the large part of his WWE career, Jeff Hardy was touted as the next Shawn Michaels. However, we all know how his tenure in McMahon-land ended.

Premier Promotions, Worthing, May 2004 - Live Show Review

My first taste of the Premier Promotions product tonight, a company with a loyal following, and one of the few in Britain who strive to keep the traditions of British wrestling alive. Most of the contests were fought under the rounds system, and over the best of three falls.

24th-30th May 2004

Monday, 24th May, 2004;
We take a step back in time on TWC this evening, as we move backwards about six years for the latest Shoot Interview, this week with Al Snow, complete with his companion of the time, Head.

17th-23rd May 2004

Monday, 17th May, 2004;
The word bloodbath comes to mind when I think back to the early hours of this morning, and the main event of WWE's latest pay-per-view offering, Judgement Day.

10th-16th May 2004

Monday, 10th May, 2004;
She's my best mate, and I love her to bits, but at times she can be really annoying.

It's the third and final part of the Jim Cornette Shoot Interview. Around 10.30, I remembered that I hadn't called her. I thought I'd better give her a ring to see how she was, because she'd been a bit down over the weekend.

3rd-9th May 2004

Monday, May 3rd, 2004;
A national holiday here in Britain, as a great deal of the nation's work get to sit on the backsides all day and do nothing, except for those who have to take their families out on a day trip somewhere, or who are nagged by their wives to do fix that all important shelf in the bathroom.

26th April-2nd May 2004

Monday, 26th April, 2004;
Mention the name of Tiger Mask to wrestling fans, and they'll immediately know who you are talking about. They'll tell you of a Japanese sensation who, along with Tatsumi Fujinami and the Dynamite Kid, revolutionised the junior-heavyweight scene just over twenty years ago.

19th-25th April 2004

Monday, 19th April, 2004;
Having a brother who is a bigger wrestling fan than you helps you sometimes. It means that he's more willing than you to shell out an extra fifteen quid when you have to pay to watch a WWE show on television.
