So If you are between the ages of 13-16 you can express your interest and provisionally sign up.

    Just back from the ccw show in Waterford, have to say it was a decent show, for the price (15e) is was a bot short with only 5 matches but still enjoyed it all the same. Match of the night for me was bam katraz v kenji, with bam looking particulary impressive, poor kenji took a backdrop what looked pretty sick live.

    The talking point of the night was what happened after all the matches, it came off really well. I wasn't to familiar with Ross Browne but he cut a very charismatic and effective promo....very well done angle!

    Bingo as crisp as ever....crowd was good to gettin some chants going, my missus who isn't a wrestling fan enjoyed herself alot to.

    Good night all in all typical indy irish show (not a slant against the show) but the angle shot at the end was very effective and set it apart from past shows I've been at! Kudos ccw hope it comes out well on tape

    --- PRESS STATEMENT ---


    Prince Devitt signs with WRESTLING.IE


    news_023_prince_devitt.png

    At last the best junior heavyweight in Japan, perhaps the World has signed for WRESTLING.IE!

    Devitt who hails from Bray in County Wicklow, left Ireland for the bright lights of Tokyo over 7 years ago, has returned to his homeland in search of new challenges.

    Although Devitt, who is the current reigning and defending IWGP junior heavyweight champion, has performed on Irish soil before, this new 5 event deal with WRESTLING.IE will be his first time performing in the major venues across the country.

    Devitt makes his long awaited debut for WRESTLING.IE on Friday, October 4th at the Belfast Waterfront as part of a special 8 man tournament to crown the first ever WRESTLING.IE champion!

    More information on this development will emerge in the days and weeks to come, but for now Devitt admits 'the Irish scene has taken off in recent years and am glad to be part of it, am looking forward to stepping through the ropes for WRESTLING.IE and putting everyone in their place, into the ground where they belong!'

    Hey all.
    Hope it's cool here to post this here.

    I'm looking for some Irish wrestlers to photograph for a personal project. I work with a few magazines in Dublin and I've been given free reign on my next assignment. If there are any wrestlers over 18 reading, give me a shout. My work is at www.deadl.ie if you'd like to see my standard.

    I've contacted a few from here already with mixed results, so I thought I'd go direct.

    If it's not cool with the mods, just delete!
    Thanks

    Ross Browne might just be Irish wrestlings perfect embodiment,at least that's what he wants you to believe.Blessed with amazing athleticism and an unmatched arrogance,the Cork native won't be afraid to show off his superiority in and out of the ring.
    BUT With Bingo Ballance its not uncommon to see the mental marvel chop his opposition down to size at a dizzying pace.Utilizing a repertoire that features a unique combination of high flying and heavy impact,Ballance has established himself as one of UK and Irelands sports entertainments premier superstars!Ross be carefull ur not biting off more than you can chew and show some respect for CCWs First Heavyweight Champion!

    The Live Audio Wrestling twitter retweeted it. Which is cool.

    Aside from some audio issues I really enjoyed it. Well structured and quality talking heads.

    Great stuff! Well-edited, paced and a very positive story. Only quibble is the audio levels. It struck me as odd how most of them refer to WWE as WWF, and at around 24mins, when Ken (the filmmaker) tried to wrestle, the guy went all "I'm gonna put this greenhorn in his place" and doggedly went for an arm bar, and then the "aw shake my hand" afterwards. I thought Ken mistakenly went to an amateur wrestling gym before he started taking back bumps. Ross Browne (the head trainer) reminded me of Triple H on Tough Enough, pushing the seriousness of athleticism & dedication in wrestling. The interviews & anecdotes were quite interesting.

    Overall I'm very impressed. Tell you brother well done, excellent work! Very sleek package.

    Manson surprised me the most was there in Preston for the filming lovely guy but not really into wrestling in the slightest,at least he's honest.

    As for the audio levels they were worked on but you can only take the locations provided and while some weren't perfect when you are asking people for time and intruding on their shows you have to take what you can get.

    Glad you guys enjoyed it and if you did spread it around a bit,Ken worked hard on it and I think it came out well!

    For the record Fergal Devitt was contacted and offered a potential phone interview but unfortunately in the hectic schedule of filming and Fergal being so successful and busy it didn't come together
