Congratulations Bix, hopefully you can add some life back to F4W.

They worked me good and proper with the Pillman angle in ECW at CyberSlam in 1996.

I think Sidebottom *MAY* be referring to Tri-State in the early 90's?

Agreed, a fine match.

Bryan / Bray was a fantastic, fantastic opener that I really enjoyed. They definitely elevated Reigns on the show, which was a positive. Apart from that, Jesus wept.

What match in 1997? The only match I recall that took place in Croydon was the Great Sasuke, Hanzo Nakajima & Tiger Mask IV vs. SATO, Shiryu & Terry Boy match from Fairfields Halls on 2.6.96 which was taped and put on a commercial release called Michinoku Pro Great Britain Story Commercial Tape. It featured clips from the show at Croydon as well as Portsmouth. I remember the pictures in Powerslam at the time, and wished I could of gone.

Is it me, or does Alvarez not do research before doing a show? I like the guy as a person, but he seems to be getting worse and worse recently on his radio shows.

I have asked for the magical list. I won't get a reply.

I always thought it was his passive-aggressive way of pointing out big jacked up and/or roid guys tend to look silly when they run. That was my take on it as well. They do look silly though don't they!

Here's an interesting bio done when inducted in to SLAM! Wrestling Canadian Hall Of Fame

Agreed, lots of ways around it, but will they chose a creative, angle building way around it without dropping the ball somehow? That's the worry.

That's fantastic.

What are you talking about? This is clearly a crime of the highest order! I expect Drew to be given a thousand lashes and a match with Khali as punishment. And for Steph to choke him out with the Matt Hardy choke hold Can someone explain the Hardy reference as it's gone over my head!

Who do you feel was a better promo than James E. in Smoky Mountain?

It's not a work obviously.

I wouldn't say either of these 2 were that good. The only memorable Tenzan match I can recall is that one with Kawada years ago and I'm not even sure that holds up that well upon a re-watch. Tenzan has been in some great matches over the years. Akiyama/Tenzan in the G-1 Final from '03 is great for starters, and looking further back: 03/07/95 - Masa Chono & Hiroyoshi Tenzan vs Hiroshi Hase & Kensuke Sasaki 06/12/95 - Shinya Hashimoto & Junji Hirata vs Masa Chono & Hiroyoshi Tenzan 09/23/96 - Masa Chono & Hiroyoshi Tenzan vs Kazuo Yamazaki & Takashi Iizuka However, I do feel that be benefited a lot from being carried. I am on the fence as to whether he is good or just simply average.

Hardly. WWE encourages twitter tomfoolery during slow weekends.

I've seen both live, and cannot fathom how they'd get a 5-star match between them.

I think for me, this is the archetypal answer.

How often does Jerry wrestle now? When was his last one? 21.09.2013 Jerry Lawler defeats Matt Striker NEW @ Dutchess Stadium in Wappingers Falls, New York, USA

I'd love to do one for Wrestling Eye for the UK cities, but I really would struggle due to the size of the UK and really, yes area's have history, but not to the same extent as in the US.

That first segment on impact was just awful this week. Lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of talking.

Great idea for a series of podcasts. What other cities are you planning on discussing? Memphis in 3 parts, San Fran, Detroit, San Antonio, Atlanta Tampa would be fun too if you can get a guest from the area. But really looking forward to these others to, especially Memphis!
