Wrestle Me, Kings Place!
CLANG thanks so much to everyone who came, and we hope you enjoyed being part of the Wrestle Me tradition of then being late to seeing a wrestling show xxx

Just to belatedly jump in, as you mentioned it on the pod, unfortunately I wasn't able to make to the live show but undoubtedly, there's no way I would have got to a Raw/Smackdown taping, Futureshock shows here in Manchester and either All In(s) without Wrestle Me! Pro wrestling at its best is truly the sport of kings, and I'd have missed out on so much without Marc and Pete. Yes, I have had a few.

2024-09-19 22:50:16 +0000 UTCI think the biggest problem with jericho is that he really wants to prove he can still go with the big guys and uses that as an excuse to be like "I've still got it!" Which got proven that he sure as hell can't given the stinker of a main event he had with mistico in CMLL this past weekend. Its just sad.

2024-09-14 23:44:07 +0000 UTCWeird to think the last show we went to (Mr Haynes made sure I went to one just before emigrating) was the same venue with more people watching Gene Munny get a hard on to a bigger crowd

2024-09-13 12:50:39 +0000 UTCThe Edinburgh NOAH show had about a third of the room curtained off and some creative chair arrangement to make it seem fuller. It did not seem full. Lovely Kiyomiya claimed at the end they'd be back, but I somehow doubt it. I had a lovely time, though.

2024-09-12 21:56:35 +0000 UTCYou guys will like this...I recently went to a wwe smackdown show. They announced during a commercial break that Lou Ferrigno(Incredible Hulk) was in attendance. The camera showed him and he smiled. He wasn't ringside but was in a regular seat somewhere. I began to look for him and found him across the way in one of the seats, as soon as I did I saw a velvet suit come into my field of vision. It was Corey Graves! Corey had searched like I did, found Lou, got up and walked through the crowd over to Mr Ferrigno and was shaking his hand and speaking into Lou's ear. I laughed out loud. "Oh Corey Graves you glad handing, smug fame-leech. Act like a professional." I despised him in that moment but also laughed boisterously. I thought you all might get a kick out of that. Wish I could have made your live show but alas, I'm well and hope you all are too.

2024-09-12 14:34:13 +0000 UTCMy flatmate and I were taking bets on what you'd be dressed as, neither of us could have guessed Slaughter and Adnan. Great show as always! (p.s. hope you enjoy the DVDs)

2024-09-12 13:06:20 +0000 UTCThere was only one wrestler I knew - LJ Cleary (Irish wrestler) and by the time I got into Electric Ballroom he was leaving the ring. Banyabat bought one of his tees though #SupportLocal

2024-09-12 12:25:49 +0000 UTCHad a great time on Sunday, didn't have a clue who any of the wrestlers were but still really enjoyed the NOAH show too. As usual got to chat to some really nice people throughout the day and thought Marc and Pete did a great job mingling with the pat patreons. Only down side is I'll probably never get to see the conclusion to the storyline set up by the bloke who come to the ring at the end(who reminded me a bit of Haku), to challenge the champion that got indecently assaulted in the main event. Who will win!!!?

2024-09-12 11:15:49 +0000 UTCA Nuno Bettencourt reference, cracking stuff! There was also a rrrrather horrible spot at NOAH where LJ's opponent (can't recall who it was) flipped through the ropes and there was a very solid, unmeaty sounding thud. ðĪĒ

2024-09-12 10:30:19 +0000 UTCPiledriver at NOAH show fairly silenced the crowd, most of whom were probably hoping Pete was a manager, there to aid a wrestler with pair of brass knucks or a cricket bat. Mean Gene, more like Snidey Gene. I've went back to watch that WCW clip and now wish Malenko had slapped a headlock on him

2024-09-12 08:44:20 +0000 UTCAs a 41 year old I'd probably not listen to the advice or life choices of a 15 year old, however 15 year old me decided when he debuted on raw, that Chris Jericho is and always will be the best ever, most charismatic, coolest and handsome wrestler to ever grace the ring. You never imagine 25 years on he'll still be plugging away. He's still my favourite but it's harder and harder to justify why now.

2024-09-12 07:11:53 +0000 UTCRemember when Juve and Psycosis were fucking about in the parking lot in the dying days of WCW and hit Brad Armstrong, seriously injuring him and essentially ending his career? Classic Juve-Juice

2024-09-12 07:06:34 +0000 UTCSorry missed the show was on holiday, I'm sure it was great. I agree on Sunday shows, living outside of London there's always the risk of a headache with trains if you go to the wrestling
