It's not necessarily bad. NEW shows are usually fun with all the legends and local talent. Plus they've got Goldust over which is good enough for me. Autograph names like Dreamer and DiBiase are annoying though.

Which fed booked Steen and Gargano for April?

And is HxC going to be a hardcore "only" fed, or a deathmatch one?

PCW but SWE are using them the same weekend too.

Have to say I'm looking forward to seeing Steen and hopefully a meet and greet, but not too keen on the rest. Mostly for nostalgia but I feel like Golddust is a ridiculous choice.

Flag Sabbath, I can't bring myself to enjoy Power Slam anymore. I know the negativity is good, but it seems like there's so much. I read it to learn about wrestling and some reviews are like what you read on these forums. It's much like NME magazine, where they give too much negative attention on the bad and take up space that could be used for better things. I do enjoy reading probably half of it, and I suppose I put up with the other half due to nostalgia as I've read the magazine for so many years, but it's not like I rush to buy it anymore. Do you know of any other UK mags or Newsletters other than PS and FSM mate??

Nah, I'm very much a part-time smark nowadays. I come on here, watch puro on dailymotion, buy PWG dvds, go to PCW shows, read Power Slam, and that's more than enough for me.

I've read PS since it's early '90s incarnation as SOW, but I've never bothered with FSM. I used to read all kinds of newsletters during the '90s, but there's just no need now.

Anybody know of any good current british wrestling managers other than gilligan gordon?

waitaminute, every other time you are a casual fan then? a smark isn't someone who doesnt watch WWE or TNA its a descriptive of a passionate wrestling fan who is now smart to the inner workings of the business

Issues_Sunshyne · 01-27-2013, 09:32 AM

^ all of your posts seem to be starting some sort of argument or trying to stir up something, why do you do that?

Anyway,

I've read PS since the mid-90s, well actually about 1997 I think it was, and used to enjoy it a lot. I do think now a lot of magazines are pointless when everything is so readily accessible online.

its called calling people out on their bull***t, nothing exists in a vacumn so without an explanation statements get de-weaponised, cleaning up the world one guy at a time

I'm a mark because I spend money on wrestling. I'm a smark because I know how the business works, but still enjoy following & supporting it. I'm definitely part-time because I watch way less wrestling than I used to & way less than a lot of folks on here evidently do. The fact that I have little or no interest in mainstream US promotions plays no part in those definitions - that's just personal taste, which every smark, however passionate, possesses.
