TV Review: World of Sport Wrestling

It was a part of our lives for decades, and gave us legends such as the Dynamite Kid, Big Daddy, Giant Haystacks and many more until ITV took it off our screens in the late eighties.

But this past New Year’s Eve saw the return of the prodigal son as World of Sport Wrestling returned to ITV’s screens with a new generation of stars, with the legendary Jim Ross handling commentary duties alongside British wrestling stalwart Alex Shane.

You Never Stop Missing Them

Thirty-three years ago today, my Mum passed away.

I still remember the last time I saw her. She was watching television in the front room, and I said good night to her and gave her a kiss before I went to bed. I had no idea then that just a few hours later she would be gone.

Sorry for the lack of updates.....

You’re probably wondering where I’ve been recently, haven’t you?

Well, it’s actually been quite a busy time for me. If you’re one of my many social media followers you’ll know that this past July I finally got a job as a Sunday Sales Assistant at QD Stores here in Cromer. This was followed, six weeks later, with a second job as a sales assistant at the Claws ‘N’ Paws pet shop in Sheringham. This, along with my voluntary position at the RNLI Henry Blogg Museum meant that I was working in a variety of roles, which meant that this blog had to go on the back burner a little.

Announcing The Two Sheds Review Hall of Fame Class of 2016

The 16th anniversary of The Two Sheds Review also means that it’s time to turn our attention once more to my Hall of Fame, and just like last year this year’s induction has a theme.

You see, when I was looking over my past inductees I immediately saw that something was missing. I’ve always been a big fan of tag team wrestling, but I’ve never actually inducted a tag team, So let’s rectify this by inducting six teams that have given me countless hours of entertainment over the years. This year’s class, in alphabetical order, are:

Wrestling Websites Are Getting Lazy

Long-time readers of my blog will know that June is the month I normally celebrate the anniversary of The Two Sheds Review. If someone had told me back in 2000 when my first article about a group of disgruntled WCW superstars jumping ship to the WWF that I’d still be doing this sixteen years later I’d have probably agreed with them.

The professional wrestling business has changed a hell of a lot since then, and to document every change I’ve seen during that time would probably take ages. But the business itself isn’t the only thing that’s changed.
