Welcome back to the UK Scene with me, the ever lovable Saz. With positive remarks to the new interactive UK Scene we can press on and look at the events happening in your area.
I always find it sad when one of the UK Workers can no longer wrestle and all the issues that have surrounded Ricky Knight and his family, it seems, at least to them, that 2006 really isn’t their year!
The Zebra Kid has been jailed for 3 years for an offence committed 18 months ago, according to Ricky he had been working on exorcising the demons of the past and succeeding when his past just caught up with him.
There’s not a lot to say really but share in Ricky Knight’s sentiments that the Zebra Kid continues to get the help that he needs and offer sympathy to the family.

I don’t know if many people have seen Gabriel Grey, he’s certainly a distinct character in wrestling and should be fun for you fans of Irish wrestling.

Hopefully the world cup will not have dropped any interest from wrestling shows this month!

UK Scene Comments
Chriscare has placed an interesting thread which I have pinned, he states
“Generally over the summer there’s loads of Indy wrestling events at Holiday camps, fairs, festivals. So I this is a thread for people who’ve been to, or are going to, and let us know where it was, how it was, if there were any potential stars there and what not.”
So why not get involved and get the conversation going so more people know what exactly goes on around the UK Scene?
Devilish Angel has also has asked everyone to reminisce on their first ever UK Scene show and this thread is popular! If you’ve actually been to a UK Show, as opposed to sitting on the Internet and bitching about how bad UK Wrestling is…
Ahem, would be nice to see those recollections and who you saw, so join in here.

If you are interested in becoming a professional wrestling, we are here for you on the TWO Forums, with a comprehensive list of training schools throughout the UK and now with links to suppliers of wrestling gear too! See how good we are to you?

And Finally…
Don’t forget that this is the last week to affect the order of the UK Scene top 50 wrestlers.
Thank you to everyone who responded and I hope that when I release the final list, everyone will agree that, apart from a few anomalies (i.e. popularity voting), it is a fair assessment of the UK Scene today.
Go to the thread here to check out the list and you can send your votes to me [saracen@wrestling101.com] or Devilish Angel [da@wrestling101.com] or you can message me through the TWO forum private message function!
That’s it for this week; hope you’ve had loads to digest!
See you soon
Saz
