Shortly before Christmas I had the pleasure of chatting with TNA's Shark Boy about the latest happenings in his career. It made for quite an interview, where he acknowledged how his attitude towards the wrestling business has changed. Check it out, here.

I also had the occasion to review Raw on January 5, which wasn't altogether the horrendous experience that it was often in 2008. You can read my report, here.

I'm late - again!

Has it really been three months since I updated this website? Is it really nearly Christmas 2008?!

It's been a busy few months trying to work through the "credit crunch", but thankfully I've been able to add more stories to my growing list at SLAM! Wrestling. The most recent one I wrote seems to have been the most contentious. It's regarding the Jeff Hardy "unconscious" angle, and you can read it here.

Here are some of the other stories to appear on that site in recent weeks:

- UFC's Marcus Davis on his cameos in TNA

- Lance Cade had no chance in WWE

- Nigel McGuinness marks one-year title run

- Raw report - 20th October 2008

- Raw report - 10th November 2008

- Paul London's talent was wasted in WWE

- Raw report - 17th November 2008

Enjoy reading!

"Vince would have put the WWF Title on me" - Tito Santana

I recently had the great pleasure to speak to WWE Hall of Famer Tito Santana regarding his career, and also the release of his autobiography, "Tales From The Ring". As modest a fellow as his in-ring persona suggested, Santana revealed that he was once considered for the WWF Title, in the wake of the WWE steroid scandal of the early 1990s.

Read it all, here.

SLAM! Wrestling: Profile of World of Sport's "Kung Fu"

It is with great pleasure that I'm able to link to my latest article at SLAM! Wrestling, taking a look at the career of one of the most popular UK wrestling characters of the 70s and 80s - The Amazing Kung Fu. Eddie Hamill - his real name - wowed fans across the UK with performances against Mick McManus and Mark Rocco, to name but too.

And aside from being a fantastic wrestler, he's a great chap, too. Check out the article here. Many thanks to Eddie and his webmaster at www.theamazingkungfu.co.uk.
