I've just shoved a calendar-style thing on my Facebook page, so you can see where I'm going to be, what I'm going to be doing, and when! Now it's easier than ever to come say hi at Gay Bum gigs, Ghost Squad race hauntings, comic conventions and wrestling shows! Hopefully that means I won't keep ...

I've been called a lot of things in my time, but "wrestling, writing stunt-musician" pretty much hits the nail on the head. Although it does sound as though I stand in for real musicians, when a gig is too dangerous... Which, for the record, sounds like my kind of thing. I'm hoping Rob Zombie wil...

Some of you may have seen the new Frank Turner music video for The Next Storm. After all, it seems to be amassing about 100,000 views per day at the moment! In it, he squares off against CM Punk - the third most 'popular' wrestler in the world today. You know, based on Google stats and whatever. ...

This month's Lucha Britannia was EPIC! Here is the Royal Ramble highlight reel: And here are some shots (of me) from AbolsutQueer photography: [gallery type="rectangular" ids="6843,6848,6847,6846,6845,6850,6851,6853,6854"] On the downside, I broke both my feet. Doing a moonsault. Thu...

This weekend, I had my debut at Wrestleforce, as Surtr and the Sons of Muspell: a team created somewhere in the back of my imagination whilst I was sleeping, and managed - on this occasion at least - by Jack Hammer. Our opponents were Italian Dan and Subject 265 (or Bacon, as he was affectionatel...

Tonight, 30 months after I first discovered Lucha Britannia, I had my very first match on one of their shows! It was a London School of Lucha Libre student show, but the sheer quality of the wrestling was higher than almost any I have seen or been involved with. I would try and describe it, but t...

Just a couple of bits from tonight's training at the London School of Lucha Libre! Special Luchadore Leg Whip, Monkey Flip and Head Scissors: Hip Toss Reverse to Springboard Arm Drag...Thing I'm running on about 2% energy at the moment, but I've got to keep it up! Somehow....

If you're wondering why my blog has been rather scantily updated for the last few months, it's because I've been in the process of moving back to London. I have done this for many reasons. In no particular order, here are some of those reasons: Vikki has a new job here. I have a new job nearby...

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...

[youtube height="360" width="640"]http://www.youtube.com/embed/2WoD-Bm9tBM[/youtube] Despite overwhelming support and a powerful start, Murorga Sim Bowa was bested a second time on Saturday night, much to his displeasure. On what turned out to be the hottest day of 2013 so far, the two men col...

This Saturday, Murorga Sim Bowa will meet Crazy Johnny Jones in a rematch for the the EWA British Championship! Sim Bowa lost the belt back in March, when he attempted a Doombutt from the top rope and landed on Crazy J's knee... You can see some highlights from the match here: [youtube=http://www...

This is my friend, Ian - a man who has taught me a fair bit about wrestling in the few times I have had the pleasure of being under his instruction. At our last show together, he patiently tried to teach me a headlock takeover, which I repeat...

Today, I had my first cage fight, at Gods of War's Berserker Brawl V - Valhalla Rising! I also lost my first cage fight...along with my general confidence in my ability to grapple. To be honest, this is probably for the best. If I can't fight, it's good to at least know that I can't fight - r...
Continue reading ...Today, I went back to my dojo for the first time in months, with one goal in mind - to figure out if my body can still move properly... The good news is that yes, it seems to be functioning just fine after weeks of booze and food and general inactivity. The bad news is that...erm...well, I sup...

Today I shall explain the joy of Tuesday, or Tiwesdæg in Old English. This means Tyr's Day, which is lovely. (Tyr bein...
