Welcome to the interactive UK Scene with your friendly neighbourhood Saz.
Due to a bout of unconsciousness I wasn’t able to do the UK Scene last week, don’t worry, I know the risks of wrestling, ironic though that I spout out the dangers of wrestling and then find myself in an accident!
Anyhoo, summer is turning around the corner, you can tell by all the rain, and we’ll see a few more coastal venues over the July and August periods as wrestling shows follow the audience to the holiday camps.
Those who are stuck at home though will have loads and loads of shows about, so make sure you support your local company, true wrestling fans go to enjoy wrestling and if you want to make your opinion heard, then there is always TWO to put your views across.
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.
Tally forth.

And Finally…
Makes you think long and hard when something that seems so trivial can ruin a person’s wrestling career.
You have to acknowledge the risks each time you walk the walk to the ring and trust in people’s ability to do their job and know their role.
It just takes one bolt missing, or one lack of attention to destroy a wrestler, remember that next time you watch them.

Take care,
Saz
