Proof in the form of a blurry photo of long-haired me and the champ himself, Roderick Strong.

I'm just back from the 1PW show in Doncaster down in England. It was a really good show, except for the main event... SJK and Martin Stone stunk the place out, which was a huge let down. They're both great wrestlers, more so Martin Stone.

The show had the Sandman, who's signing table I could see from my seat. He sat there the whole night apart from to get up from his match, and drank two cases of Stella, and even tried to smoke under the table, but security stopped him after a while cause of the smoking bans. By the time his match came round, he was HAMMERED.

It was all a good night, though Davey Richards failed to make the show. They said he was in a car crash the day before and that he'd hurt his back... I can't find any information to confirm or deny this, but I was really looking forward to seeing him. He better be okay :cry:


Any one else watch any British wrestling here?

A little bit. I would like to get into some more. Would 1PW be your best choice for someone to start watching British wrestling or is there even better companies?

Also awesome pic.

I recommend it, but I wouldn't limit yourself to just one British company, because there's quite a few, and they're all good. There are probably are better ones, but 1PW one is good. They normally have a few imports at shows, but they're trying to base it more around British guys now. They do shows every few months, but they also do smaller shows more often, but I tend not to go to those ones. I'm sure they'd be good, but just not worth the 4 hour drive.

Though the next major 1PW show will have the return of the former-1PW World Champ, Steve Corino. Me thinks I'll be going to that. And I didn't hear what show they were talking about at the time, but Jimmy Jacobs is also gonna be at a future one.

It's owned by ROH I believe or at by a few ROH wrestlers or something. I pretty much consider it to be like OVW is to WWE. Just a place to test wrestlers out and see if they could fit into the ROH roster.

Never knew that V.1. I knew FCW was a training spot for WWE but I had no idea they ended their relationship with OVW.

Duzzy, another good British wrestling company is FWA(Frontier Wrestling Alliance.) I'm not too sure if they still run shows but they have or had been running for a few years and have produced some great matches, and wrestlers. Paul Burchill came from there, and Jody Fleisch, you've heard of him right?

Roderick Strong is an amazing wrestler. How did you get there man, car?

And another thing, wasn't 1PW shut down?

Yeah, I drive down from Glasgow with my brother. It's about a four hour drive, but it's normally worth it.

And yeah, company went tits up about over a year ago. Story is, they announced it was over not too long before one of their shows, then 3CW stepped in and said they'd run the show for them as a last send off kinda thing. Show was a success, then a few days after it someone stepped in to fund it again, and it picked back up, but with considerably less imports this time around, which was a good idea :P

It's started off with pretty much all imports. Now they tend to have around six a show, and with their Wrestling Academy, they're getting a lot of younger British wrestlers into it as well, and run smaller shows with the students.

They've got a big show coming up in August, and the Third Anniversary weekend (Two shows) in October.

For the show in August, former 1PW Champ Steve Corino is making his return (After he genuinely swore he never wrestle here again because of a disagreement with the guy who runs it).

Announced for the Third Anniversary weekend so is Jerry Lynn, Nigel McGuiness, Jimmy Jacobs, and the return of...RAVEN.

Should be good :thumbsup:
