The project is different things to different people and that's fine by me. We're never going to get a consensus on how to go about doing research.

Updated the first post with links.

It's a weird dichotomy as I'd have him in the WON HoF regardless of actual working ability.

Splendid stuff! Looking forward to this as always.

Shocked nobody had mentioned Renegade until this page of the thread. For me he was the shits when watching WCW TV on DSF in 1995. Big Daddy and George Gulas however just edge him.

I rode with London last weekend and he ain't batshit crazy, just crazy but not in a scary WTF way! I also think he deserves a look as he's been around now for 15 years.

He is the current Preston City Wrestling champion over here. He's had some cracking matches against the likes of Joey Hayes, Dave Mastiff, ReDragon, Chris Hero, Uhaa Nation and Rampage Brown that have made tape.

TNA's version of WrestleMania - Bound For Glory.

A lock for my list. Great for so many years.

Agree with Alan on this one, he was so much fun, but 95+% of this was in a tag team with Kroffat. Not a top hundred singles candidate at all.

I used to order from Strong Style Tapes in the early-2000s. Wasn't that Mark Petar? The guy who got busted selling bootleg ROH videos at the FWA/ROH Frontiers of Honor show. Yes, this is talked about in the following podcast I did earlier this week: http://wrestlingeye.libsyn.com/wrestling-eye-podcast-episode-7-talking-with-longtime-fan-and-podcaster-mark-ren

No takers? Maybe I am the only one who'd find this useful as I have a sieve for a brain at times.

Did Rob take payment by milk tokens or did he say that he doesn't take that form of payment? Either way either he liked milk a lot or someone tried to actually pay using those tokens, which make me chuckle.

Rob did indeed do well for himself out of it all, however he did have to be around every 4hrs to change tapes so he couldn't really stray far from his house! Thanks for the comments MM, appreciate it!

Glen and Rob were both super reliable. Rob did sell his business to GWI who were at one point if memory serves based out of the Arndale Centre in Manchester selling tapes and merch. I don't recall 5 star tapes, however in my latest episode myself and long time fan Mark Ren take a trip down memory lane and talk the tape trading and fanzine scene in the UK in the 90's which if you were around then is well worth a listen.

So you experienced his extremely bad handwriting on tapes too then?

Using that sample it looks like Big Daddy is fucked again. *sigh*.

He's someone who I've always liked, but for me to include him I'd like to see more of him in Stampede.

Just came across this and I must say great work!

Can't wait to hear this.

That was really informative Mark, thank you.

I've advocated for El Dandy.

Really enjoyed the two matches that I have seen so far vs. Colon, as before hand I'd only really been exposed to his 90's AJPW run. Definitely someone I need to dedicate a lot more time too.
