EVENT

As of a couple of months ago, I'm back with Celtic Wrestling in a remote and multimedia based role.

Posted on the left is the event flyer I recently produced for their upcoming Big Bang 6 Fundraiser show in aid of  Isabella's Wish To Walk

I will be producing more advertising in the future, with the prospect of recording DVD release match commentary maybe on the horizon (still ironing that one out). It's great to see my favorite welsh Wrestling group active again.

THUNDERA

Yesterday I went out with my associate in his new car (a car which looks like Chase of the Throttlebots/G1 Transformers) to Bristol city centre (or Broadmead as us true Bristolians call it) on a mission to acquire the Second Season of Thundercats on DVD.

The HMV staff were a little crafty as they had a copy of the S2 pt 1 disc set on display for £22.99 and cunningly hid the reduced £15 copies on a lower shelf section. We got the £15 copy in the end.

Thundercats season 2 is a big deal here in the UK. For season 2 was never aired over here, or more accurately the BBC could not be arsed to air it. You could say that Season 2 is like a gap in the childhood of anyone who grew up in 80’s Britain. The nearest Blighty ever got to seeing Season 2 was the release of the Thundercats Ho Movie on VHS.

So Season 2 will mark new Thundercats, Ma-Mutt, new Thundera (Third Earth was cool though!!) and a new villain faction called the Lunatacs (Who I hear are nastier than the Berserkers ever were). I’m going to need some time to sit aside and be immersed in it all. 65 unseen episodes of Thundercat goodness can’t go wrong well 30-something to start with until the acquisition of part 2 is made.

I need not go on about how great Thundercats is, an 80’s cartoon that hasn’t aged very badly, a toon that was a milestone for toons today and a toon that practically started Toonami.

So yeah Season 2 goodness. Going to love every minute of it I hope.

SITUATION

I am in talks with Celtic Wrestling management over my quitting the promotion last Friday. Things could be resolved…

I may have acted rash, but with good reason.

I cannot go into details yet, but I am still on very good terms with the guys and gals at C/W and there is still a good relationship going.

I will keep you guys updated on this one.

ASLAN

I went to see Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian today: A great film with a load of sword swing, claw slashing action. Very good sequel. I can’t wait for Voyage of the Dawn Treader with the return of Reapacheap and the introduction of Eustace! :D. The character who I felt sorry for the most in Caspian was the poor Minotaur that held up the gate as it looked like he was hit in a certain place with an arrow . I’d love to say more but I know people from church will be reading this and are making a trip to see this tomorrow, so sorry kids, no spoilers from me  And NO THROWING POPCORN (when the ushers are looking).

Zip and Star’s Birthday tomorrow with mine the day after.

Check you all later

WEEKEND

First off, if any of my American Transformers fan friends can help me with the acquisition of this beauty I would be really grateful. I am sure this is one Megatron item that will have no trouble getting past customs. LINK
Christmas in July!!!

As far as the weekend goes, I had a mixed up one at that. This weekend was all about less highs than lows but I am getting over some stuff and having to move on.

Quitting Celtic Wrestling was heartbreaking.

It winds me up that it seems in all circles anywhere only the inner elite clique are allowed an opinion (no matter how illogical it is) whereas the rest of that circle are name-called and shunned away. Anyone who hung out on the C/W forum today will know what I mean - when a good mate (Bassey) started a little farewell thread for me which sadly had to be deleted.

I need to cheer up more… The Dr Who finale was awesome, Guitar Hero 3 was fun and I hope to start watching the complete Life on Mars (the original UK version) on DVD later on.

My 31st birthday is this upcoming Thursday so I need to be in high spirits for then.

INSPIRED

Last Fridays Celtic Wrestling event left me feeling in good spirits. Not only did I return to some announcing work but I have future stuff in the pipeline such as my interview and involvement with The Best of The System DVD, some possible appearances for Welsh Wrestling Organisation and... a few other things I won't reveal yet.

It's good to be back.

SYSTEM

They were the baddest heel stable in Welsh Wrestling history, constituting of Johnny James, Chris Recall, Elpsycho, Tyler Browne and Thunderbolt Tommy Dean (and the passive members too). This one time badboy group gave Celtic Wrestling a good shaking and marked some of the meanest power struggles within the promotions.

So yeah… Word came about that a Best of The System DVD is in the works. About damn time I say!

I am in talks of having an interview and some input into this project as I announced, commentated and edited a lot of the System’s matches and in-ring anarchy.

I was never a big fan of heel stables in wrestling since they seem 10 a penny these days and a little cliché. The System however had a unique presence and strong character base like a rock group in some ways, they were a heel stable with a purpose as opposed to being a heel stable for the sake of it.

So far a few Youtube videos have made it to the web. Here is what they are so far (enjoy!):
