Yes, great ITV4HD shows the whole show.

Packed Wembley
81,000 fans

The Female fights were short.


Good quality show.

AEW matching WWE

As expected. Great Women's Title match for the time they had.

Happy moment for Saraya (great to see her fam out with her and her Mum getting involved!)

Toni Storm's new gimmick is really brilliant too, she's playing it perfectly.

Good to see Khan grew a backbone. Punk is just more trouble than he is worth.

Im not taking a dig at you, but i'd thought you might like him as he's a hardcore Democrat. He even posed next to a sign in London "trans lives are real lives" or something.

Anyway, i love him, and a stupid business decision to get rid of him a day before Chicago All Out.

His political views don't excuse all of his negative traits. His run in AEW has just confirmed that he is the problem everywhere he goes.

But he's a huge drawing name, Makes no sense to me. It's 2023, make angles out of real life backstage drama!

Did you know that there was a time when UK Wrestling was huge? It was on every Saturday on ITV. Town halls snd arenas up and down the country were packed out every night of the year with Wrestling fans.

The UK wrestlers of the 70s and 80s were the pioneers of what you see today.

Mark Rollerball Rocco. The Dynamite Kid. Marty Jones. Dave Fit Finlay. Were doing what The Undertsker, Shawn Michaels, Chris Benoit, AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan was doing 40/50 years ago.

I saw them all. They were the originals of the style of Wrestling you all love now. They were better at it too. They knew how to tell a story, get heat like never seen since and have the technical ability to go with it.

A smaller ring and a few different rules, like rounds but the technical ability is supreme.

Two of the greatest ever. Two true pioneers.

Rollerball Rocco vs Dynamite Kid.

Here's Stone Cold Steve Austin enquiring what Rollerball Rocco was like from William Regal.

Austin knows of the Legend of the name but never saw him.



I saw Rocco about 4 or 5 times, ringside seats most times. And I can tell you he was something else. You couldn't take your eyes of him. He was immaculate in every way. He was my hero back then.

Here is Bret the hitman Hart calling Dynamite Kid the best ever.

I'd love to hear Bret's opinions on Rollerball Rocco. I reckon they probably wrestled each other at some point. I know they met.

A great historical wrestling video to watch for any Wrestling fan.

It's two guys talking about what William Regal said is the best match ever. Rollerball Rocco vs Marty Jones.

Just look at some of the bumps Rocco takes into the turnbuckle. Shawn Michaels used to copy that but never did it as good as Rocco. And I'm not knocking Michaels, he's a fantastic wrestler and one of the best at taking bumps, but he has nothing on Rollerball.

My point is. You should know who Mark Rollerball Rocco is and It's my honour and privilege to share or introduce you to him, he's that important in Wrestling. Like I said. He was my hero as a young kid.
