After an absence of some time, i thought i should update this damn thing. Firstly, I recently did an interview with UK wrestler Dunkan Disorderly, which turned out pretty damn swell...  Here's a sample...
Just prior to Christmas, I had the pleasure of sitting down for a chat with Dunkan Disorderly, one of Ireland’s finest talents.While up here in the North, we’re pretty much deprived of excitement until the WWE roll into town, Dunkan is one of the few to have emerged from the scene. A regular in No Limit Wrestling, as well as their first ever Heavyweight Champion, his career blossomed in 2008. As a part of American Wrestling Rampage, he has competed across Europe, alongside, and against such stars as Test, Gangrel, Scotty 2 Hotty, Sabu, Balls Mahoney, and U-Gene. The growing company has been enjoying much success over the past year, selling out in Ireland in France, and being broadcast on French Television. Needless to say, for a grappler whom I first saw compete in a tiny Hotel Ballroom in Belfast, it’s been quite the Evolution for Disorderly.
Anyhows, enough of the arse-licking, and on with the interview…
You recently completed a tour with American Wrestling Rampage… how did that go?
Unbelievable…it was the best three and a half weeks of my life, probably the most tiring of my life as well, but I’d do it all again in a heart-beat.
Was that much of a change in schedule?
Yeah. I would do a couple of shows a month… with NWA Ireland, No Limit Wrestling, whoever wants to book me, as long as they’re a half-decent promotion. But yeah, this was the biggest so far. I did a tour In March with American Rampage, and that was amazing, but it was just the Irish leg of their tour. It had Sandman, Chris Masters, John Heidenreich, Gangrel and Test, so that was unbelievable, it was huge, but this one was just crazy.
Was it your first time wrestling in, Paris for example?
Yeah, I’ve wrestled in Germany before but I definitely don’t want to go back…
So what happened in Germany?
Joey Cabray, from No Limit Wrestling, said they wanted me to come over for a match. But I had the flu, it was minus five or something like that, and the venue was freezing, horrible. The ring they used was mahogany boards and nobody took a bump. The guy I was working was the shits, and it was just horrible, and then we missed the plane home, and had to stay in a Youth Hostel. Everything that could have gone wrong did, so it was just a bad experience. But France was something else altogether.
Here's the full interview.............

Check out my latest column at www.ifight365.com

This one is a comprehensive look at some of the best ROH DVDs out there, especially for anyone who's interested in their product, but put off by the volume of releases, and has no idea where to start. Have a read, and pick up some tips!

So i had this bizarre idea, that i would compare the UFC Heavyweight Champ, Brock Lesnar, with the WWE Champion Edge. And it turns out, there's alot to be said for the bad guy characteristics that both guys use, and their respective companies effectively exploit... Here's the full article...

Summerslam 08 was a bit of let-down by my initial reckoning. But upon watching the DVD, i was much more impressed, and would totally recommend it. Start to finish, it's just a well put together show, that really peaks at the right moments. Here's the full review!

Finally, I've got around to doing another Shimmer DVD review for www.pwinsiderxtra.com  Whew!

As usual, it was another entertaining, and intriguing show from the regular crew, with a few returns, and a big World title match. Do yourselves a favour, and give Shimmer a go, because they're producing some of the most entertaining, straight-up wrestling out there today. And before you do, check out the full review at

Thanks,

If anyone reads my rants and ramblings out there, you'll know i'm a big fan of Ring of Honor. And if you're an ROH follower, you'll know that there have been some pretty major developments over the past few days, behind the scenes. For all the details, and a look at the potential ramifications, check out my latest throwing in the towel article at...
