We’re going to keep things chronological here on #BACKFILL, and after Chapter 8’s “Big Boys Guide to Strong Style”, PROGRESS started a new strand of shows entitled: ENDVR, where some of the company’s trainees cut their teeth.
Month: August 2016
As August turns into September, it’s perhaps time to get a few thoughts out of my head and onto the keyboard, since we’re in a relatively quiet time!
The Shropshire-based VII Pro Wrestling returned on July 15 for their Summer Blowout card, and once again they’ve placed the whole event on YouTube for your viewing pleasure!
It’s safe to say that the first OTT show we reviewed, February 2016’s “Ah Ted”, wasn’t well received by us here at BackBodyDrop. Whilst the live atmosphere may have been raucous, it simply didn’t translate well to tape… but let’s give them another go with a show from May, entitled, “Even Better Than Better Than Our Best”
We’re finally there! Season 3 of NGW’s TV show climaxed with the much-awaited Team Warfare match for control of the company.
If you’re a fan of… pretty much anything, to be fair, you may have noticed the rise of the “subscription box”. Loot Crate lead the way, and have recently signed an agreement with WWE to produce their own offshoot, but they’re not the first to cater to wrestling fans.
The road to Brixton got a little bit clearer during PROGRESS’ latest trip to Manchester for “Keep It Unreal”.
In August 1998, WWE expanded it’s programming suite with a show on MTV called Sunday Night Heat. Like with most new shows, it got some attention from WWE in its early years, particularly when it acted as a lead-in to pay-per-views, before being turned into yet-another recap show and rebranded as “Heat”. This week on Random Reviews, we look at some action from the first six months-or-so of Sunday Night Heat!
