"IPW:UK"

Has anyone heard of IPW:UK?

I might be booking tickets to go and see it because its in my town at the moment.

It says it is a TLC Match and the card features WCW Star Vampiro.

It also says "As seen on Sky - Just Like the WWE" so i was wondering if it had been on TWC?

agreed.
changes need to be made to some of the small print of that bad boy.

well, what i got told (bear in mind that this is how it purtained to the FWA Acadamy, with "main" FWA being slightly different) was that TWC was in financial trouble and could no longer afford to carry FWA programming.

"they stopped paying" hehe, V_M - king of kayfabe

well, as always, I guess the only ones who know the whole truth are the two parties involved, both of whom will put their own spin on it beforethe fans get to hear what happened.

i'll be seeing Alex on saturday, shall i ask? :D

You can try, but I believe it was a deciasion made after Alex had handed over control to Doug Williams and friends...

hmmm, hazy memory for me on that one. i think doug will be at the next supershow in october, if i remember i'll ask him too.

i feel i should have some kind of mystery machine for this case....

Remind him that my services as Head Booker are still availableat a very reasonable rate (free).

i'll be sure to pass that on ;)

and apparantly word of my awesome video skills reaches far and wide and anyone attending future IPW shows may well be seeing my graphics on their screens/curtains/whatever. got a call this afternoon asking me to put a basic logo animation together for them :)

Had a look for this coming round my way but nothing so far. There is usually wrestling on quite often at the Derby Assembly Rooms or Nottingham Concert Hall but it's not listed as of yet.

Have to keep looking and hopefully it will turn up at some point.

I checked out the website and it seems they have 1 show a month and they are always in the Orpington Halls. So all the action for me and you will never get to see it hehehe.

Looking forward to it.
