NXT


Who'd have thought that NXT would come this far? From being that kinda daft rookie competition, that's thrown out some top main roster superstars since, such as Daniel Bryan, Wade Barrett and Ryback, to being reshuffled and made the new developmental territory for WWE. Taking over from Florida Championship Wrestling, which was great in itself, NXT has been of phenomenal use to the main show. Originally the WWE home of the likes of Cesaro, Paige, The Shield and The Wyatt Family, it has garnered an immense support as a show in it's own right, and put on some amazing programs in the past year or so. At the moment, we're only a few weeks away from the second NXT Takeover show, and it already looks to be a cracker, with a few matches already set in stone for the big night.

ICW: 1.21 Gigawatts, Great Scott! Preview


Well, it's time for this impressive run of shows to come to an end. This coming Sunday will be the sixth consecutive Sunday that has hosted an ICW show. Starting with Shug's House Party at the 02 ABC in Glasgow, and then going on a 4 week run in Studio 24 in Edinburgh throughout the Fringe Festival. This Sunday sees the sixth and final show in the run, with ICW returning to the Garage for what, in my opinion, is shaping up to be one of their best cards of the year. Also noteworthy that this is 6 from 6 shows that have SOLD OUT in the past month, with Spacebaws and Fear and Loathing likely to follow in no time. Taking over brotha! So lets just dive in heid first, kicking off with what's due to be an absolute stoater...

A Decision To Be Made

I feel like I'm betraying the purpose of the blog by posting this in here, but where wrestling is my biggest passion, it's followed closely on the list of things I feel strongly about by politics.This is simply the easiest way to put my feelings across as I'm uncomfortable by writing things like this on facebook. It's just something I've always been into. Politics from any country across the world, I just find it completely fascinating. But as we all know, we are in the middle of a debate on the future of Scotland. In just about three weeks time, on September 18th 2014, we will go to our respective voting stations and be asked the question "Should Scotland be an independent country?" Anyone who knows me knows fine well that I am a Yes voter through and through, and there never has or never will be a moment's doubt about that. Now before I go on, this isn't sour grapes here, everything I'm about to say comes from the heart because at the end of the day, this is a serious matter, and it's not one of those "there's no right or wrong answer" things. There is very much a right answer, and that is YES.
