[gallery type="rectangular" ids="7137,7134"] Another month of Lucha Britannia mayhem has come and gone - this time with none other than Juventud Guerrera on the show! Sadly, I didn't get to work with him again, like at Wahaca. This time around, El Nordico Fuego found himself in yet another Luc...

Holy shit. I have just finished three nights wrestling at York Hall, alongside some the greatest names in Lucha Libre. That included Dr. Wagner Jr., El Hijo Del Santa, Cassandro El Exotico, Magnifico, Angel Blanco Jr., Mascarita Sagrada, Ray Man, Zumbi and Heddi Karaoui. It was...indescrib...

At last! Captain Rumbeard, the Lucha pirate, has made his debut! 'twas a dark and stormy night, 'pon the highest seas... Honest. OK, it was a pleasant afternoon in East London, on the London School of Lucha Libre Student Supershow. Either way, bedrunken and bedazzled, Captain Rumbeard storm...

El Nordico Fuego lost his Crown of Lucha Chaos tonight. I blame two things. Firstly, the colossal hangover from seeing Outcryfire and Evil Scarecrow the night before, after which I left all my valuable personal possessions on the tube. Secondly, the brute power of Maduk Malik – the thus-far und...

Yet again, I have had the moonlight beaten out of me in High Wycombe. This time, however, it was in a tag match...and I won! Or rather, Eddie Dennis won and I had the fortune of being on his team. Even so, it totally counts as a victory and is my first win at EWA this year! In this gallery...

Although I lost my rematch with Crazy J, the photographs make it look like I did rather well! [gallery type="rectangular" ids="5150,5156,5149,5151,5152,5153,5154,5155,5157,5158,5159,5160,5161,5162,5163,5164"] Photos by the very talented Jo Gardener....

Today, my friend Lucy shared this video with me. I enjoyed it and it got me thinking about where I would like to see the professional wrestling industry go in the future. It is easy to complain after watching two hours of old men shouting into microphones, interspersed with a handful of dull scraps....

After months of good intentions, I finally made it down to Camberwell in South London to the This Is Progress wrestling school this morning. There, under the watchful eye Jimmy Havoc, I learned a huge amount about the things I am doing well and the things I am doing badly. This is just as wel...

Alas, there is always a downside to fleeing the lands in search of adventure. Last night, at EWA Pro Challenge Wrestling, I lost my British Championship title to Crazy Jonny Jones, after I landed head first on his knees...twice in a row. The first time was from the top rope, when I mistimed a Doo...

Friends, enemies and animals with all the qualifications for personhood, who are nevertheless spurned by those who confused the concepts of human and person. LEND ME YOUR EARS! Murorga Sim Bowa (that's me, would you believe?) has been challenged to defend his EWA British Championship against t...
Continue reading ...During this evening's circuit training, I managed to fall over mid squat-thrust. As I peeled myself off the mats to resume the hell, I noticed that my face had left an interesting sweat-mark on the ground. There were visible cheeks, a chin - even areas where eyes should go! It was a distinctly re...

Luckily, I was due to be in London anyway , so I was totally up for it. Unluckily, I woke up on a floor, after a night of partying in Brent Cross - damn...
Continue reading ...After a blissful 5 hours of sleep last night, I have now been awake for about 20 hours. It started with a drive to Maidenhead and a train to London. I then conducted a case study with Sense Cost Consultants, which I spent the day writing up. I then proceeded to the BrewDog bar in Camden, where ...

It isn't just because I am wearing my favourite (and only) tailor-made, black silk shirt. It isn't ...
