    Did anyone catch the interview with one of the trainers from NWA Ireland in the Evening Herald tonight?

    Nice interview, interviewer actually asked some decent questions instead of the usual patronising bull**** that most journos ask

    I think it's really cool the amount of media coverage local pro-wrestling is being given in Ireland recently. Add this to IwW's article in the Sunday World last week and altogether it's been a good week for pro-wrestling. Congratulations to NWA.

    I saw the Iww article in the Sunday World last week, was good. The more nationwide press for local pro wrestling the better.

    Its great that there getting more and more coverage. Some of his reponses puzzled me. Fergal Devitt quote, "I dont know if I'd sell myself to the cartoon charade standards of the WWF". Thats a ridiculous comment. Dont get me wrong Im critical about some of the stuff in the WWE but the last word I'd describe Angle, Benoit, Guerrero, Rey, Shelton and I coulld go on would be cartoonish. These guys have been wrestling longer and better than Devitt and he's in no position to be judging them. A few of his other comments i thought were silly but hey fair play to him for getting the exposure.

    "I dont know if I'd sell myself to the cartoon charade standards of the WWF"

    I think that is a fair enough statement to make - I dont think its aimed at the wrestlers, but aimed more at the sometimes ridiculous soap opera type storylines we, the viewers, get

    It might not be aimed at the wrestlers, but, it seems to imply that those wrestlers on wwe are sell outs. Which would be a silly thing to imply. And lets face it, if wwe called at his door with a leprechaun costume in one hand and a contract in the other, chances are we'd be seeing wee fergal o'blarney on smackdown faster than a canadian can boo shawn micheals. And who would blame him.

    Personnaly I think what Fergal ment about WWE was that if a wrestler is over in the Independants why can't he be over in the WWE as the same person? Although I couldn't see Proto-type as the WWE champion. WWE does waste very good talent that can be over in other companys. Except for A-Train.

    As far as Irish wrestling goes. Its great to see the promotion bytching over with and both companys focusing on exposing their companys. It gives Irish wrestling a real chance of growing.
