Well Danny I know loyalty is to be respected in RL, but personally feel I made the right choice picking All-Star over Wigan last night!
Had a good time at City Hall, real old-school feel when you go to an All-Star show (hard to believe now in their 40th year!
). Five matches on a show which ran about 2 1/2 hours (inc 15 min interval), highlight of the night was a fantastic tag-team match between Robbie Dynamite and Bad News Brown versus Deano (I think originally called Dean Extreme) and another guy who's name escapes me. Plenty of fast-paced wrestling, and some good spots, the babyfaces going over in a well-received match.
Only disappointment was no Tatanka (not sure why) and to be honest this remains my only real gripe with the British scene - so often you get guys not appearing who are advertised!
Now having experienced this many times over the years I was kinda expecting it (or at least thinking that I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't show), but a lot of kids last night will have turned up expecting him to be there along with Val Venis (who was also on the posters).
However I'm sure there will often be circumstances out of the promoters' control, and like I said was still a good show. They return to Hull in October, and if All-Star are in anyone's area I'd definitely recommend checking them out for a night of traditional wrestling entertainment.
(my mates took advantage of a 2-for-1 ticket offer meaning £6 each to get in!
).
