It's WCW ROAD WILD 1998 - we're back in Sturges for another shonky show with one of the single worst matches of all time. Amazingly it's not Meng vs Barbarian (which has a very perplexing 30 second section where Barbs moves Meng's legs around but doesn't know why). patreon.com/wrestleme

Little delay on the show today thanks to a surprise attack from our old rival Remote Audio Issues, we're sorting it as we speak, maybe this humility and pluck will ensure we don't lose the UKFF Best Digital Media award to the Vault

Wrestle Me! @wrestleme.bsky.social · 02/03/2025

I cannot tell you how delightful it would be to beat the WWE's huge corporate machine in the UKFF awards (yes, the Vault's good, but it's mainly there to distract us all from losing the Network), so if you have a vote and like us enough, please send it our way THANK YOUUU ukff.com/topic/145046...

Everyone's being very upset about it online but I was there live, really enjoyed the Cara Noir-Effy match with extra egg, and immediately texted Pete about how much I'd liked it, so the debate is over. As Effy said afterwards, with egg dripping down his face, wrestling is infinite
