New video up on YouTube, and we've already been hit with a copyright claim for a bit of music that Big Japan obviously never bothered to clear. Enjoy five horrible wrestlers smashing up a village in front of the startled inhabitants - it's BJW's 1995 Shopping Centre Brawl! youtu.be/beKcDfRDOUw?...

Very much looking forward to the two Rev Pro shows at Crystal Palace next week - a venue steeped in wrestling history as Big Daddy went swimming there in order to pad out the pages of his 1983 annual

New podcast on the Patreon - Big Gay Brunch 10, Wrestlemania Night 1 & Clusterf*ck Forever. 14 hours of wrestling and it beat us in the end. PLUS thanks to ace pals Duncan and John, we've got our hands on some barbed wire from the Sabu match, and our hands are now bleeding. OWW Patreon.com/wrestleme

New podcast up on the Patreon - we went to Joey Janela's Spring Break 9, DDT, Tokyo Joshi Pro AND Wrestlecon and it might have been the best single wrestleday of our lives. PLUS there's a new video where we go on a pilgrimage to the original site of the WCW Nitro Grill (RIP) Patreon.com/wrestleme

It's WCW ROAD WILD 1998 - we're back in Sturges for another shonky show with one of the single worst matches of all time. Amazingly it's not Meng vs Barbarian (which has a very perplexing 30 second section where Barbs moves Meng's legs around but doesn't know why). patreon.com/wrestleme

New video up on the YouTube account! Eye eating, bear wrestling, admiring racists and giving the world Junkyard Dog - it's a gallop through the Bill Watts story as he takes over WCW in 1992! youtu.be/VAv6i_v1gOg?...

Two new shows up on the Patreon (one's us larking around, didn't count). It's SUMMERSLAM 1998, so we're talking about Japanese dubs of The Snowman and Pete's local wrestling show, where the roof is too low for top rope moves. Image from excellent @pablobonzo.bsky.social Patreon.com/wrestleme

Thanks to everyone who voted for us to win the UKFF'S Best Digital Content 2024 award! YESSS! Genuinely made-up, and even more so considering the WWE Vault was the one to beat this year. THANKYOU LOVEYOU xxx (excellent accompanying image stolen from the excellent TibBo)

@wrestleme.bsky.social Oh my god- this is really happening people! More insights into the minutiae of owning a chain of petrol stations and passive-aggressive digs at the Count’s ex wives! Count me in!

Little delay on the show today thanks to a surprise attack from our old rival Remote Audio Issues, we're sorting it as we speak, maybe this humility and pluck will ensure we don't lose the UKFF Best Digital Media award to the Vault

I cannot tell you how delightful it would be to beat the WWE's huge corporate machine in the UKFF awards (yes, the Vault's good, but it's mainly there to distract us all from losing the Network), so if you have a vote and like us enough, please send it our way THANK YOUUU ukff.com/topic/145046...

It's the final part of ECW Heatwave 1998 up on the Patreon now! That means Pete can't stop playing Hayabusa's theme music, we celebrate the sexy chat of Joel Gertner and wonder what happened to the Peruvian Pipe Bands that were in every UK shopping centre until they all suddenly disappeared in 2002

Take our hand as we travel back to HEATWAVE 1998 for some vintage ECW. And spoiler alert: it's flipping great (unlike the UK DVD artwork, which isn't). Part 1 up now on the Patreon! Patreon.com/wrestleme for the new ep, the old eps, new videos, fanzines and more. It's all in your soaraway Wrestle Me

Everyone's being very upset about it online but I was there live, really enjoyed the Cara Noir-Effy match with extra egg, and immediately texted Pete about how much I'd liked it, so the debate is over. As Effy said afterwards, with egg dripping down his face, wrestling is infinite

GCW sold out in London, feels like ages since the Electric Ballroom has been full for wrestling. GOOD JOB

He's the king of the edits and beloved Banya doesn't sleep - and he's made a cracking vid of our last episode about the Netflix Raw with all the delicious visuals that'll ensure it can't be monetised in a month of Sundays. ENJOY, CHAMPS www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aox_...

Like every podcast, OUR NEW POD IS UP on Patreon looking at the first RAW of the Netflix Era and asking why everyone's so embarrassed to just give us some wrestling. That said, if you like endless corporate speeches about branding, you'll LOVE this show patreon.com/wrestleme

The final day of the 12 Days of WrestleMeMas and we're off to The Big Time (1980)! Schoolteacher Keith dreams of being a wrestler so Big Daddy, Tally Ho Kaye, John Naylor and Esther Rantzen turn it into a nightmare in the middle of the Royal Albert Hall. THE BEST patreon.com/wrestleme

Happy New Year everyone! But I will deeply miss the WWE Network, which died today. We once lived in a world with instant access to 101 high-quality videos of Lord Alfred Hayes. No more.

I don't want to shock you, but it's WrestleMeMas Day 10! We're off to Argentina in 1982 for an episode of Titanes en el Ring, which is FANTASTIC. The Vegetal Man, a dead composer called Richard Schumman, Julius Caesar, the Olympian & an android that blows up - 10/10, no notes patreon.com/wrestleme

Happy Christmas everybody! x

Day 8 of WrestleMeMas over on Patreon and we're heading to a town, smashing it up and then leaving - it's Big Japan's Grocery Store Brawl (1995)! THE MOST FUN WE'VE HAD ALL YEAR cue the marching band patreon.com/wrestleme

On the Patreon NOW, it's Day 7 of the 12 Days of WrestleMeMas. We're going into the confusing world of I LIKE TO HURT PEOPLE (1985). Enter a world of 1980s Laserdisc deals, abandoned documentaries, Save The Sheik and Dusty Rhodes' mind being blown by the very notion of crowds! patreon.com/wrestleme

It's WrestleMeMas Day 6 and, due to an error on our part, it's two totally unrelated, unconnected matches. First, the last UK bout between Sammy Lee and Rollerball Rocco. Then, the first Japanese meeting between Tiger Mask and Black Tiger. You deserve better from us and we're sorry BIG WINK

Day 5 of WrestleMeMas and we're heading to the grey, fizzy waters of New Jersey for Terry Funk vs Stan Hansen's 1990 industrial river classic - now available in crystal clear 4K! No, sorry, that's a typo, it's basically static. MA EYE! (has got an infection from the water) Patreon.com/wrestleme

Thrilling to be living at a time where WWE release matches involving characters who were never in WWE performing in promotions that aren't WWE. THE WWE VAULT HAS NO PARAMETERS, NO MASTERS, NO LOYALTIES, delighted www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBzI...

WrestleMeMas Day 4 is UP NOW on the Patreon! We're off to Puerto Rico for ten minutes of fun, sun and internal fountains of pig blood - it's Manny Fernandez vs Invader III in 1988! Wrestle Me! - the perfect Xmas gift for anyone who likes hearing about fountains of pig blood Patreon.com/wrestleme

WrestleMeMas Day 3 is UP NOW on the Patreon! It's CM Punk vs Homicide in a Falls Count Anywhere match for FIP in 2004, and it ends up (seemingly against everyone's wishes) in a strip club. Is it still going? It is! Do we read out a load of TripAdvisor reviews? We do! Patreon.com/wrestleme

It's DAY 2 of WRESTLEMEMAS, and we're decking the halls with broken glass for CZW's Tournament of Death 8! Nick Gage dies for seven minutes, a German intellectual gets a syringe through his face, and neither of us know if watching this constitutes a crime. patreon.com/wrestleme

A new video from the beautiful BanyaBat covering the wonder of WWF's TNT, as FUJI VICE sees two 1980s wrestlers trying to track down a lot of cocaine. What a stretch this role must have been www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMaq...

A small wrestler drawing. It is Big Daddy

*leans out of window and shouts* Me: You boy, what day is it? Boy: Why it's the first day of WrestleMemas, sir *christmassy Wrestleme theme music starts playing*

WRESTLEMEMAS DAY 1: Marc and Pete put on top hats and watch George Hackenschmidt and Joe Rogers dazzle a crowd of the dead! Two ghosts have a fight in what's now London's Oxford Street branch of Primark. THAT'S PROGRESS (not the promotion, the concept) Patreon.com/wrestleme

IT'S WRESTLEMEMAS EVE! The 12 Days of WrestleMeMas kick off TOMORROW and we're starting as we mean to go on (talking about wrestling). It's a happenin' over on the Patreon all December! www.patreon.com/wrestleme

It's nowt to do with us, but there's a Black Friday ticket offer available for GCW's London show in January where you can get in and see a lot of big US indie names for only £15, which seems like a steal. I've legit spent more than that on pasta this weekend.

Up now on the Patreon - it's WrestleMeMas Eve (ish) and we wrap up WWF King of the Ring 1998! Hell in a Cell revisited, we pay tribute to the Beano Comic Library and childhood hospital oddballs, and after Blue Lane, Gayne and CoKane, we make plans for a 30 Kane knock-off Rumble. SMART

The 12 Days of WrestleMeMas kicks off in December, so why not get in the mood by revisiting one from years gone by - the Great Kojika's death house! THEY BUILT A HOUSE INSIDE A HALL AND THEN SMASHED IT UP, FIVE STARS youtu.be/wG4kULWj1h0?...

Against all the odds, I'm as invested in this match as any other this year. The Boom Guy turns out to be somehow noble and heartwarming, I love how he's concerned with his child's safety at all times and I'm genuinely looking forward to this match
