There is some great british/uk wrestling out there. Just finding the good from the bad. Even In America there are load of wrestling promotions that are terrible, probably all over the world or at least where Wrestling is.

Well I have to disagree, I find it unfair to class all UK wrestling as s**t .
Out of interest have you been to any UK shows and if so which ones?

Mostly I've attended rubbish around the midlands (AWW, LPW etc), and I've watched quite a lot of other promotions on Youtube. Not sure where the promotion in your sig is based, but from watching the DVD trailer it looks like much the same thing. Poorly-trained skinny blokes and fat blokes, all in crap outfits, trying to do "highspots." I'm not sure why, but there seems to be some law that says that every British wrestling promotion must have about twelve wrestlers who look like Colin Delaney and rip off AJ Styles. It's sad, because with a bit of effort from people running the shows, British wrestling could be improved.

Highlight video from probably the best UK promotion. Lo and behold - first thing in the video, a tag team of skinny AJ Styles rip-offs who are crap. Then another skinny AJ Styles rip-off vs A Fat Bloke (I know it's Dave Moralez). Then a terrible promo involving a skinny bloke in a mask and some other skinny bloke with a Bollywood gimmick. Then another match between a skinny AJ rip-off and a bloke who at least looks like a wrestler (the one wrestling in black jean shorts). Then a rubbish tag team attacking a team of a skinny AJ/London/Kendrick rip-off and a fat AJ/London/Kendrick rip-off (who wears the UK wrestling standard "sleeveless vest that I hope will hide my gut"). Then a promo by an old boy. The Rockstar Spud thing is genuinely impressive, it's nice to see something that stands out. Because then it falls into a generic UK wrestling 4-way with stupid generic highspots (not surprisingly starring Fleisch and Storm, who are as responsible as anyone for the sorry state of UK shows now since they started the "little flippy kid" crap over here). I had to laugh at Storm's moonsault attempt that looked like it was meant to flip over Fleisch's head but got nowhere near him. Even that short highlight version of the match was tolerable only because of Spud's character. More people in UK wrestling should take heed - Spud used to be just another generic little flippy kid as well, and he's given himself a persona that works. The main event between Williams and Martin "look at my terrible leotard" Stone was standard, unremarkable stuff. If the FWA is the best that British wrestling has to offer, if everything else in the country is worse than that, then I rest my case. British wrestling is s**t. Horrible, horrible s**t. |

I can't honestly see the AJ Styles rip off in anyone in the FWA video. I mean AJ wasn't exactly the first guy who does that style. It's not like they do all his moves and are called AK Styles or something.
