Welcome to the interactive UK Scene with me, your ever lovable Saz coming to the end of the summer season.
We are beginning to see a lot more action now we are heading for the winter half of the UK wrestling season.
What is of note are the companies that have been announcing that they will appear on the wrestling channel. Real Quality Wrestling (RQW) for those who don’t know include UK Scene Top 50 wrestlers Ricky Knight (8th), Robbie Brookside (11th) and the only ranked female wrestler, Sweet Saraya (44). So classic wrestling fans are in for a treat.
The other announcement is IPW:UK, which will be fun with the recent threads of “are they the 1PW’s UK arm?”.
Good luck to them both!
What we do care about in all aspects of the UK Scene is your opinion, especially the paying punter, so if you have a say you are more than welcome to express it, whether it is a popular opinion or not.

And Finally…
“With great power comes great responsibility” was a lesson I was given in the days of reading Spiderman comics as a child.
In a way it is very true that every UK Wrestler has a responsibility to every fan of the UK wrestling scene, they are our lifeblood and they should be taken care of.
Public arguments, splits and reforming as a new company is something that only wrestlers should know about, we do seem to see evidence of it every month though as yet another company has formed and are looking for a “cool” way of playing with the 3 letter anacronym.
But the only people who can sort this out is the people involved.
Take care.
