Excuse the plug, but my book "Turning The Tables: The Story of Extreme Championship Wrestling" is 99p on Kindle throughout January (UK only deal I'm afraid): https://www.amazon.co.uk/Turning-Tables-Extreme-Championship-Wrestling/dp/1520782489

After a huge conversion project, I’ve now replaced the very outdated search tool at itvwrestling.co.uk with a dedicated database at database.itvwestling.co.uk (also accessible through a link on the main site.) It covers 1955-1988 and is fully browsable and searchable, with YouTube links where available. You can click on almost anything to get chronological lists of: Matches of a particular wrestler (and a win-loss record). In theory it should group together results from a wrestler who used multiple names or where there are spelling mistakes/variations in the listings. Matches from a venue. Matches from a particular episode. Matches for a specific title. Matches in a specific tournament. There’s also an option to see listing with match results displayed or hidden. One important note is that I can’t guarantee everything is completely correct as I had to develop automated processes for turning the (very inconsistently written and formatted) listings into database form. I’ve tried to fix most issues, but the main things to watch out for are two wrestlers being listed as the same person (eg I need to fix this with Peter & Jon Cortez) and cases where the wrestler ‘scores’ are correct but the wrong person has been the winner (this involved an extremely complex algorithm for the computer to understand who wins with particular combinations of scores.) I will be fixing any errors I hear about or spot, but it’s a process that needs to be done in batches rather than one at a time as I find them. The main itvwrestling.co.uk continues as normal with the listings, which include additional details such as match and show notes, show times, post 1988 listings, listing from non-ITV channels, and bonus information and articles.

Thanks - have updated with these corrections. There may have been something unusual with that Wolverhampton taping as the TV Times has two matches (Tibor Szakacs vs Jack Fallon and Casanova vs Eric Wilson) listed for both Wednesday 19th (in one week's edition of the magazine) and Saturday 22nd (in the following week's edition), so that suggests a late change in scheduling for some reason.

Thanks - have done so.

Not sure, but I think it's from a couple of shows (another being in Sheffield) where it's the entire taping (including the into, gaps between matches and MC saying goodnight) rather than the TV broadcasts. So I assume it's originally from a master tape at ITV.

It was on the Old School section of the original WWE Network.

Thanks for letting me know. Unfortunately this was already present in the source (a longer YT video of multiple episodes) which was the only place I could find this match. I've updated the title and description appropriately.

I know it's just because of a mainly-objective date criteria (and will resolve itself in a couple of years), but Paul Orndorff so clearly looks in the wrong group for comparisons there.

Thanks - have updated the 1985 listings page and the schedule overview page appropriately.

Thanks - have added the clip at the end of the 1983 page (the "didn't air on ITV but did show up on The Wrestling Channel" section.) It looks likely it was scheduled to air on August 13 but World of Sport had athletics instead.

I put together a lengthy guide to visiting Tokyo for wrestling: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lKQNNq7oPfufX5tOOh-HI6f_An0SCy6o/view?usp=sharing Only note of caution is that the last update was January 2020 so some of it may be outdate now:

Does it have an extradition treaty?

From the full press release it sounds like it's mainly about being an industry body rather than any kind of promotional alliance. They're doing a one-off joint show, but the main aim seems to be lobbying so that they get proper government assistance if they have to shut down in another pandemic.

I wonder if it's less "they did a coke spot, we have to pull the TV element of the deal" and more "I know we did a deal with Corgan but now we've signed NXT so we need to find any excuse we can to pull out. Roll the tape".
