Don't call it a comeback
The True Grit Wrestling Left Bank Lock-Up was the platform for a number of potential changes to the landscape of the promotion.

A Steel Cage match, every title on the line and some long-simmering rivalries came to a head

True Grit Wrestling: Left Bank Lock-Up Review
Ch-ch-ch-changes. Life is full of change. Sometimes it’s beautiful. Sometimes it’s painful. Sometimes it’s both or neither but it’s a part of everyday life. My life is full …

Wrestling feels different by the seaside. There's something special in the air.

BWR: Warning Shot Review
As the famous ditty goes, “Oh I do like to be beside the seaside”. Something about seaside towns has always resonated with me.  Whether it be the flashing fluorescent lights of an arcade, the …

Caught up with New Beginning before work.

Anyone that's fallen off over the past few years, it's time to get back on the NJPW hype train. That show was the perfect drop-in point #njnbg

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside.

Down at British Wrestling Revolution tonight in Cleethorpes. Another sold out crowd.

Brit Wres takes you everywhere

House lights went out mid-match at True Grit earlier so the finishing sequence was lit by phone torches.

I love independent wrestling

Starting 2025 off right tonight at True Grit 🤼‍♂️

Who doesn't love a Rumble?

Gabe Kidd is fucking sensational.

First saw him when he was a skinny teenager in Hartlepool Town Hall, in front of 50 people.

He's now capable of carrying one of the biggest wrestling promotions on his back.

What a boyo #WrestleDynasty

Overall, that was a fun Saturday morning of wrestling. Going the pub later. Lovely stuff #njwk19

Watching Will Ospreay and Kazuchika Okada wrestle feels like a perfect way to wrap up 2024 🤼‍♂️ #AEWWorldsEnd

Did not see Luke Jacobs losing the title at all. Strange one 🤼‍♂️

But *FINALLY*, Ricky Knight Jr. embraces his inner knobhead. FINALLY #RevProUprising
December 21, 2024 at 8:56 PM
That was absolutely fantastic. To keep a crowd invested for 60+ minutes is staggering. They brought the best and the worst out of each other.

Bravo Zozaya and Leon Slater #RevProUprising

Would be gobsmacked if this all ends with Mercedes Mone on a Rev Pro show as the British Women's Champion, but fucking hell it'd put some serious bums in seats for them 🤼‍♂️ #RevProUprising
December 21, 2024 at 6:09 PM
Kanji is excellent. Hope RevPro build the title scene around her in 2025 🤼‍♂️ #RevProUprising

Not sure if I found the main event/show closing bits to be utterly fantastic or a complete mess.

That's kind of how I feel about AEW overall, at the moment. #AEWFullGear
November 24, 2024 at 5:11 PM
Hard to believe that's the same Kyle Fletcher who walked into Brit Wres years ago as a skinny kid with a haircut like Gollum 🤼‍♂️

Star 🌟 #AEWFullGear

Sunday club in full swing with a #AEWFullGear catch up 🍻

That's the best Mercedes has looked in AEW, imo. Excellent match with Kris Statlander 🤼‍♂️

Big shout out to British Wrestling Revolution getting over 700 people to come out for the wrestling on a freezing cold Friday night in the lead up to Christmas.

Class 👏👏
November 22, 2024 at 5:26 PM
Will never tire of watching Darby Allin getting thrown around like a rag doll. The little fucking lunatic 🤼‍♂️ #AEWDynamite
November 21, 2024 at 4:26 PM
Quite mad that wrestling discourse has been dominated for years by CM Punk trying to be a hard lad, given that he got absolutely waffled by Mickey Gall.

Gall, btw, just got flatlined at #UFC309

Something sensational and new to Middlesbrough - a tag team contest!

Quick thread of some pieces I've done recently, for the Bluesky crowd. 🧵 🤼‍♂️

This year, I rediscovered my love for professional wrestling after 7 years.

The reason? My 84 year old Grandma

My 84 Year Old Grandma Helped Me To Love Professional Wrestling Again
Professional wrestling used to be the most important thing in my life. It was a vehicle upon which I could escape from everything. It was somewhere where I could laugh and cry in equal measure, mar…

Just submitted a half-day holiday so I can go to Grimsby on a Friday night for wrestling.

I'd forgot how weird some BritWres stuff sounds out loud.
