@tatfink.bsky.social seasons greetings my close personal friend. If I don't see you in 2026 what's the actual point anymore?

Update on my interest in modern wrestling is waining.

Going to Dynamite in Manchester didn't relight the fire.

I'm hoping watching Worlds End does.

If not, I think I'm at a point where I accept it's passed me by.

Rather than shake my first at the clouds I'll move on.

I get a giddy when Kenta Kobashi likes my shit posting on twitter. Especially where he's not tagged or mentioned by name.

Bloody love that man.

Fans, Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks all express their displeasure for British Pro Wrestling being taken off the air on ITV in 1988.

In 2009 Dave Meltzer travelled to the UK for a UFC show in Manchester, and saw a Poundland store advertising £1 friends DVD's with a Matt Le Blanc cutout and based on that felt the UK was years behind the US culturally.
