    glad to hear it bomb - one other thing - the iww website seems to be down - does the iww have any more shows in the pipeline? - i was away for the tallagh shows so i have no idea how they went but am really interested in seing them as the line up was very exciting


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,638 ✭✭✭bombidol


    plans for the next shows are in the pipeline, www.irishwhipwrestling.tk should work all the time, but when the server is busy it might not connect.
    remember to pick up an IWW Tshirt in forbidden plant to show your support for IWW

    thanks bomb - the sites now comming up for me but no thanks on the t-shirt - im a bit to old to be buying wrestling t's - just vids/dvds for me mate


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 607 ✭✭✭cmb.


    one last thing - will the video have to be heavily censored as the censorship board seem to have a field day when it comes to wrestling vids in ireland ans so many fairly tame vids have been refused a cert here? oir will you just sell it anyway as is?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,638 ✭✭✭bombidol


    ~I dont have the full details on the censorship yet, im not involved in that area.
    Whats wrong with Tshirts??? Im hardly a nipper myself and i have a big collection of shirts, The missus not like you watching wrestling???? lol :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 607 ✭✭✭cmb.


    eh . . . your not far wrong mate! - well im not into them and i have to say i'd be a bit embarrassed strutting about in a wrestling tee - but hey - each to their own - and thanks for the info bomb

    I have been in the shop ,i didnt see anything .I was in a rush .Anyway are they upstairs or downstairs ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,638 ✭✭✭bombidol


    ask at the desk for IWW tshirts i think there are some in the video stand beside the front desk upstairs and maybe some on the rack downstairs.
    video should be due out next week or early the week after.
    so get ready...........


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 607 ✭✭✭cmb.


    is the video going to be available in anywhere except forbidden planet - it wolud be good if it was available in as many places as possible as it would generate interest in future shows - i wasnt at the first ones but from the pics ive seen it did look quite empty


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 72 ✭✭eggs


    I was there, the place hold like 3,000 and there where 500 there. So that why it looked empty. That crowd is bigger than 80% most European shows and that a huge achievment in itself.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,638 ✭✭✭bombidol


    yeh most euro shows only draw 100-200 people, look at FWA for example most of their shows are in school halls with around 150 people max.

    :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 607 ✭✭✭cmb.


    its a good start and people here are so eager for live action - i dont know if it was over optimism but i think a smaller hall that is pretty full would have a better look - esp for video and would add to the atmosphere - but as i have said, i wasnt there so you may well have been able to cut the electricity with a knife for all i know - im sure i will findout very soon when the video comes out

    - one thing r.e. the vid, or the commentary to be percise - if its not up to scratch you might consider having analternative vid without commentary - it maybe a better option - e.g. the fwa show on bravo - it was alright but the commentarywas absolutely terrible - they tried to ape the us format of a heel and face teamand it was embarrassing to hear


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,638 ✭✭✭bombidol


    You see the thing is, Wrestling just seems wrong without commentry, it looks slow and uneventful. Any commentry is better than non, the revival stuff wasnt that bad at all , the biggest problem was the heel/face combo doesnt work in big doses for every match the two boys would counter each others every word with a heel or face remark, the best way for a heel/face combo to work is in tiny remarks that you think one of the commentators might be a bit dodgey:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 607 ✭✭✭cmb.


    i get whatyour saying and maybe your right - but there is only one king and jr - like 'em or not and its better to just call the action than to try to be jr and the king - (though i hate it when commentators talk about up comming events or tits when another match is on) - oh howi miss styles - sure the 'oh my god' gotannoying but he could call just about any move and really did his background checking on new/feature performers


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,165 ✭✭✭Hanza


    Hey hang on a sec!!!

    FWA is on Bravo?

    Since when, are you sure? Thats the japaneese show.... with Hayabusa, and Jinsei Shinsaki, and...and....Hayabusa?

    FWA has never been on Bravo, there was a show back in Feb of this year called 'Revival' on Bravo. It was organised by Tommy Boyd (Infamous TV host), he used some FWA talent as refs, wrestlers, plants and the FWA ring too. So naturally the FWA attached their name to the show.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 607 ✭✭✭cmb.


    hey hanza - can you keep me a video (in case they come out when im away for a few weeks and are all sold out)

    as for fwa - i believe (but could be wrong) that you are refering to fmw when you talk about japanese wrestling but fmw was another organosation that folded in 2001 (though they were no longer players since onita was bought out in 98 (i think) though there have been remours of a revival but this is unlikely as japanese wrestling is said to be in as much, if not more turmoil that in the us)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,638 ✭✭✭bombidol


    the number one rule of commentry is to keep to info coming, if theres a dead part of a match or things are going slow then you have to fill in the peices that why you hear the next shows being called and the info on the wrestlers and all that stuff.:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 607 ✭✭✭cmb.


    yes, eh, thanks for that - i know but having the likes of cole talking about main events only when a perfectly good match is on with plenty of action is not keeping us up to speed, nor is helpful or entertaining - i, for one would rather no commentary that sub grade stuff that we are all too often subjected to - you may not agree but but thats my view


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 72 ✭✭eggs


    The IwW tape will need Commentators, I know most of the wrestlers at the show, but not them all. Any Indy tape I see without Commentary looks/sounds bad.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 607 ✭✭✭cmb.


    eh eggs so you say "I know most of the wrestlers at the show, but not them all." - whats that got to do with anything? the correlation with knowing some of the performers and a tape needing commentary is . . . ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 72 ✭✭eggs


    Erm, I think the snot in your nose has backed up to your brain and its clouding your judgement? Why, oh why, should a tape have no commentary when a good number of people here in Ireland that buy the tape don't know a some of the wrestlers on the show? Lets say when Chris The Bambi Killer and Kovac battle it out, fans will wont to know back ground info etc on the wrestlers.

    We can't all go around with your mentality of 'Its all a work, so why bother'.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 607 ✭✭✭cmb.


    ah yes - when you cant convince people of your point of view resort to petty insults - that will convince them - oh i bow down to your vast superiority - now lets all chant in unison 'we're not worthy . . . we're not worthy'

    and yes some people dont know the background and some will like any commentaty sure - thats why i asked someone if an alternative version might be available without for someone such as myself who - unlike you, may not want commentary - and for that - i should be hung, drawn and quartered - you prick


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 72 ✭✭eggs


    Lets start a petition just for you, we will get IwW to release a copy of their tape with no commentary just for you. You 'Smarts' think you know it all.
