(10 Jun 2014, 11:26 am)AdamY When Ambrose talks it makes you want to listen. Very few wrestlers have that ability nowadays. You should check out some of his promos from when he was wrestling on the indies (as John Moxley).
This one in particular I think is great. It's done in a silent movie style (no words obviously) but Moxley/Ambrose still manages to get his message across in a captivating way.

(10 Jun 2014, 3:52 pm)AdamY Did you go to the ICW show in Newcastle at the beginning of the month?
I would have went if I had of known it was on.
I really want to go and see ICW someday. The Glasgow shows look and sound great.

(10 Jun 2014, 5:08 pm)Half Pint I did and it was fantastic, managed to meet some of the guys after the show and spoke to owner Mark Dallas. Sold out show and was announced they were coming back end of the year.

(10 Jun 2014, 4:40 pm)AdamY Apparently this match occurred on November 11th 2008. I don't know why this match has been omitted from Cagematch - all of his other matches are listed including 'dark' matches/tryouts. Very strange!
I used to love MNM. Great theme music, great entrance, great gimmick.

(10 Jun 2014, 5:39 pm)AdamY From what I've seen, Mark Dallas comes across as a genuinely nice guy. A bit like Paul Heyman but without all the bullshit. Out of interest, who else did you meet at the show?
I also like how ICW are touring now. Until recently, it was only All-Star which did tours, but now you have the likes of ICW, LDN and a few other promotions putting on shows around the country. I will definitely attend their return show in Newcastle - providing I can get a ticket of course
Are you going to the Tidal or/and MEW shows towards the end of the month?

(10 Jun 2014, 7:33 pm)marxistafozzski I liked Melina...What happened to MNM, I stopped watching for a while and when I started watching again they had all gone

(10 Jun 2014, 9:43 pm)AdamY Melina: Got popular due to her 'split' ring entrance; started to develop a real-life diva-esque attitude which made her unpopular with colleageues and management; was with John Morrison/Jonny Nitro before Big Dave started sorting her out and got bored with her; management eventually tired of her attitude and her contract was not renewed when up for renewal in 2011. Unlikely to be back anytime soon.
Nitro: Became John Morrison in ECW and started tagging with The Miz. The team eventually split and both feuded for a short while before The Miz went on to win the World Title and headline at Wrestlemania 27. Morrison got lost in the shuffle and became a very bland baby-face before deciding to try his luck on the independents after his contract ran out. Will probably be back someday.
Mercury/Matthews: Self-confessed drug-addict who got his act together before getting his big break with WWE; got injured and, as part of his recovery, was prescribed opiates; got into trouble and was eventually released by WWE in 2007; went into rehab and was eventually rehired; had a short run as part of CM Punk's Straight Edge Society; was offered a position as a trainer working with in developmental - a position which he accepted. Mercury is well-liked and well-regarded by everyone he's helped to train as well as management. Out of the three, he's probably the biggest success story and as long as he keeps on the straight and narrow, he's unlikely to lose his job anytime soon.

After seeing Bazzas rant on Colback and how the whole thing has blown up, it kind of reminds of Dave Wills, and American wrestling who breaks down in tears while talking to Terry Funk
I have spoke to this guy many times on Social Media, and if I remember correctly he told me he never expected it to take off like it did, it ended up getting the attention of people like Jimmy Kimmel
(10 Jun 2014, 8:14 pm)Half Pint Think I'm busy when Tidal comes and regards MEW, not really fussed it's probs going to be the same folks from Embryonix.

(10 Jun 2014, 10:24 pm)AdamY I definitely want to go and see Tidal but, like you, I'm not too fussed about MEW. I don't know whether Dan Fitch still has anything to do with the promotion but I remember when he first started promoting shows under the MEW banner in 2005 he had all these plans to run shows in flashy venues featuring top British talent. This is certainly a long-way from that. I didn't think much of AJ Anderson when he was wrestling for wZw back in 2004-06 and I don't particularity want to see him in 2014 seemingly positioned at the top of the card with other various wZw alumni. However, I haven't seen any of the Embryonix bunch so I might pop along for that - if I'm not busy of course!

(10 Jun 2014, 10:34 pm)Half Pint Embryonix is more South Shields based, and is it's own wrestling school, so graduates then go out and wrestle the shows. It's something I'm looking to do in a few months time. Just got few months of the gym to look at first.

(10 Jun 2014, 10:54 pm)AdamY I've tried doing it in the past; it's harder than you think. I think I lasted about four sessions before I decided to quit. The deciding factor for me was when I bumped wrong and hurt my back. It wasn't anything serious, however I'd just started a job which required me to lift things and I didn't want to jeopardise that.
If you're waiting a few months to train then there might be a school opening in Birtley in the not-too-distant future. I won't go into too many details in case it doesn't materialise but it will be ran by someone who's considered a big name on the British scene. You might want to check it out when the time comes.
