Vanhalen 0 Report post Posted August 6, 2004 Hello Wrestling Fans, and welcome to the 4th edition of The Wrestling Channel Newsletter for August 2004. As a member of our mailing list, you will be the first to receive all the Official Wrestling Channel news and information. HEADLINES: After much preparation, The Bagpipe Report debuted on July 9th @ 8pm. We had a great interview with Diamond Dallas Page, as well as Bryan Alverez on the phone talking about the most recent WWE PPV. The production and format of the show has improved in leaps and bounds since the debut episode, and the latest episode of TBR is always available for download FOR FREE on the TBR website (high-quality WMV file for cable/broadband users & a low-res WMV file for 56k users). Tune in tonight (Friday) for the 5th episode (TBR005), when we will have Ross Hart on the phone talking about the sale of the Hart family home and the dungeon, and also on the phone we have 2-time TNA Heavyweight Champion: Ron "The Truth" Killings. TBR is repeated every Saturday @ 8pm & Sunday @ 7pm. Here are some sample screen shots of previous guests: Here are some of the upcoming guests we have planned for TBR: 13th August: Blue Meanie on the phone 20th August: Mo Chatra in the Studio End of August/ Start of September: Jasmine St. Claire in the Studio Date TBC: Alex Shane in the Studio Date TBC: Road Warrior Animal on the phone Date TBC: Jimmy Hart on the phone Date TBC: Spanky in the Studio Date TBC: Jerry Lawler on the phone ONLINE STORE: We have just added 2 new TNA items to our online store - the new TNA IMPACT logo t-shirt and the new Ultimate X DVD. Check out our online store here (be sure to read the "pop-up" FAQ). The Ultimate X DVD is highly recommended. TWC MATCH LISTINGS: Remember, our listings page now gets updated weekly. It gives a list & date of every match ever shown on TWC. The page can be found here. TWC TELESHOPPING SPOT Keep an eye out for the 30 minute TWC Teleshopping Spot for our online store. We are running it every morning on the Wrestling Channel, and also accross SKY Sports. This will show you a lot of the great items we stock in our online store. SCHEDULE CHANGES & NEW PROGRAMMING The new Memphis Show (Memphis Wrestling) is starting on Monday 9th August @ 8pm. This is a very well put together studio show, and is great entertainment. I would recommend checking out the debut episode and draw your own conclusions. It has stars such as King Mable, Grandmaster Sexay, and Jerry Lawler. We have been in talks with Zero-One and Toryumon, and there is a SLIGHT, UNCONFIRMED, CHANCE that you might see one of these promotions on TWC in the very near future. In other news, we are still re-negotiating with CMLL . We hope an arrangement can be met very soon. We are also considering re-running the Classic Memphis Series in a few months. We are still in talks with TNA about bringing new episodes to TWC. Fingers crossed. SUPERCARD SHOWS This upcoming Sunday, we are bringing you CZW Déjà vu II. Following that show, we have the following lined up: August 15 - FWA Supercard Show (Various from 2003) August 22 - NJPW Super J Cup 1994 (confirmed) Still TBC: August 29 - Best of Christopher Daniels September 5 - CZW Cage of Death III September 12 - ROH Unscripted September 19 - IWA Mid South A Shot of Southern Comfort September 26 - Best of American Dragon October 3 - Best of Chris Benoit in Japan October 10 - CZW Night of Infamy I October 17- ROH All Star Extravaganza Keep checking back to this page for upcoming Supercard Shows. SHOOT INTERVIEWS Upcoming: 9th August 2004: Ted Dibiase - Part 1 16th August 2004: Ted Dibiase - Part 2 In no particular order: Brutus Beefcake Jerry Lawler Rob Van Dam Sid Vicious TWC HARDCORE CLUB Sometimes you stumble accross people who are so stupid that they think their crappy Photoshop skills are enough to fool the general public. I guess this clown must have read our last newsletter, and discovered that members of the TWC Hardcore club were given complimentary items from our online store. Being the genius that he is, and putting the A-Team's Hannibal Smith to shame with his cunning plan, he decided to send us in this photo, and ask: "I spent £3.50 getting this film developed, and it took me ages to set up the photo. I better make it into the club. Where's my t-shirt?" Obviously, we dropped what we were doing and loaded numerous DVD's and T-Shirts into a giant jiffy bag and rushed to the Post Office with his priority package.... Again, anyone who genuinely wants to join the TWC Hardcore club can do so by hanging up our mini-poster in as many places as possible (available here), and sending us in some photos of it. Keep ‘em comin’! Remember to check out our wrestling columns here, which are updated regularly. We have some of the best writers around. Thanks for reading, and keep watching! Sean Herbert. Director of Programming, The Wrestling Channel (sky channel 427). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Dazed Report post Posted August 6, 2004 August 22 - NJPW Super J Cup 1994 (confirmed) Fuckin' A I would recommend checking out the debut episode and draw your own conclusions. It has stars such as King Mable, Grandmaster Sexay, and Jerry Lawler. If those are the guys they are hyping, I probably don't need to see it to draw a conclusion.
