Two things before we kick off this week. First off, one of my all-time comedy heroes, Rik Mayall, died aged 56. That man – and the generation of comedians he came up with in the 1980s – shaped my entire sense of humour. As kid I watched everything they produced countless times and Rik Mayall …

Welcome to the dungeon! At this moment I am so bored with wrestling that it’s hard for me to sit down and watch a full show. Usually after Wrestlemania I get a little irritated with the product and don’t seem to enjoy it until around SummerSlam but I can’t recall a time when I …

I want to start this week with an apology. Well, more than one really, but one big one. Last week, I said I would never claim to be able to write a wrestling show, and I was wrong. I have always said I was a total mark, I watch wrestling to see the swerve, to …

After the rousing reception I got for my first ever piece the other week about ECW, I’ve been buoyed into going at it again and once again, I’ve gleaned my inspiration whilst listening to those fine fellows on SLTD Radio. The subject matter of one of their most recent shows was the Attitude Era and …

And we’re back. I explained my absence in my return column for Raw Revisited which you can read here (and you should, for many reasons!) so I won’t get into it here. Let’s just get straight into talking about the AWESOME second live special of NXT; NXT: Takeover. Camacho Express….Derailed! The opening contest of the night …
