ST: The UK Scene wrestling fraternity

The one thing I really like about travelling to distant areas of this country to work on shows is the other wrestlers you meet. Of course there are some people you will meet who will get on your nerves, but on the whole British wrestlers are thoroughly nice guys, at least to each other…

ST: Physique of the wrestler

Those of you who have struggled through my tenets will know my reasons for becoming a wrestler, it wasn’t fame or glory, it was to get myself fit in a way that I would find fun. My quick rise from trainee to a show wrestler came about due to many factors, luck mostly, but there was also my attitude, my age and my physique…

ST: Imagery without the weed

There are some great wrestlers out there in the UK Scene, but they are let down by a bland gimmick, or they are not portraying themselves in the right way. No I am not going to point these people out, it’s an unfair thing for me to do especially as it is really up to them to do something about it…

ST: Always learning about wrestling

I have always thought that a wrestler will continue to learn about the business throughout his career. People underestimate just how big the UK scene is, how it functions and how it brings the people who work in it closer together. I am constantly learning and I put my thoughts down about my learning for you to read so I can hopefully help a few people understand the UK scene a bit better…

ST: The family tree of style

I am the first to admit that I sometimes bite off a bit more than I can chew, and with my experiment last time, I did just that. With so much going around about the fixed forms of wrestling, then separating the truth from the fiction would have taken me a long time to do and be too long to hold anyone’s attention. So, in the tradition of interest, I am going to focus on the question I was asked the most, what exactly is the Modern British style?

ST: Wrestling Styles

I thought this week, I’d do something different, that, with your help would work into next week as well, that can help us define the different styles in wrestling. Apart from hearing and talking about different styles with my fellow wrestlers, there are also descriptions of styles, that generally have no name. So for these two weeks, I was hoping we could try naming these variations and see what we can get…

ST: Backyard Wrestling

Today I am going to talk about the issue of backyard wrestling and my own personal feelings towards it and the extremes people will go to in the name of wrestling. Look away if you do not wish to read…

ST: Ready to Rumble?

I’d like to think that I am speaking for all wrestlers when I say that there is nothing like a Royal Rumble. Obviously I am wrong, there are wrestlers out there who probably think they are a waste of time and will want to concentrate on their singles matches, but I love them…

ST: The Multifaceted Scene

Everyone has some sort of ambition in life, be it their profession, the type of girl or guy they want to marry when they grow up, learning to play an instrument or even just to get their work done so they can go out for a pint with their mates. I have discovered through talking with other wrestlers that ambition is great, but wrestling works on many levels and I would like to share with you what I have discovered…

ST: To be the man you have to wear what the man wears

On this topic of discussion I would like to talk about an issue that, well splits wrestler’s opinion, it is so deep rooted that I doubt that there is no real solution beneficial to all. One looks from the traditional aspect where as the other is a little Postmodern. What am I talking about? The old chestnut of spandex Vs T-shirts and jeans…
