The Boston Crab Needs YOU!

    As some of you might have noticed, The Boston Crab has slowed down a good deal. This is due to my work becoming busier and buiser, meaning when I get home I don't have the energy to write all the details I want on wrestling for the site.

    So I'd like to get more people on board to write for us. Anything to do with wrestling or MMA and we'll stick it up, just as long as it's not along the line of "HHH IZ A TAWT LULZ ROH 4EVA!!!!"; we want to appear as unbiased as possible.

    Also, with Irish wrestling growing more and more I really want to increase the coverage we do on the Irish scene. So reviews of shows and stories on Irish wrestling will be a top priority and will go onto the site before anything international. I've been trying to get more Irish coverage in print media and it's going nowhere, so I think the only thing is to increase the coverage on our site and push it more and more.

    So if anyone would like to send me in anything, PM me your ideas and I'll pass you on the details.

    Cheers lads,

    Seán

    Seeing as I discovered how to use skype lately, I would gladly give a podcast a go with you.

    I think DB is also back on for the Podcast so with yourself and Walter it would be a perfect team. We had plans to go live but it all fell through with how shockingly busy work became. It's begining to quiet down and come April it'll be back to how it once was, giving me all the time in the world to edit the podcasts and upload them onto the site etc.

    I need more articles though, could be a great way to help someones portfolio (I think Team Shadow Clan was looking to write about wrestling?)

    I could try to write a few articles for ya if/when I get some free time:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,054 ✭✭✭D.Q


    I'd like a chance at that..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,491 ✭✭✭thebostoncrab


    Great! PM me any ideas you may have and we will work from there. It's open to everyone :D

    I'm about to head out for a few hours so I'll PM you in more detail later on, but I'd love to get involved any way I can. I've been looking for an excuse to get into the wrestling journalistic world :D

    If my schedule allows (I.e the time difference) I'd love to give the podcast another try as my debut was on the one show recorded that never made it to air, it was also supposed to include the 2nd pinky interview.

    I'll pm you about maybe writing something in a bit too, on my phone atm

    Sweet, keep me posted :)

    Good response so far, and if you are reading this and are if-ing and ehm-ing it don't be! Just send me a PM and let me know your ideas. Like I said I won't say no unless it useless smarky ****e :D

    I might be about to embark on a wrestling journey of my own. A gym opened not too far from where I go to college so if I go ahead with it, I could do a diary of it?

    I'm back on for the podcast so you can all rejoice. Anytime after this week is good for me and RAG Week is next week so it could feature a drunk Diabhal.

    Was going to start training myself but then work got busy busy so I'd love to see that come to life!

    Email sent :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,491 ✭✭✭thebostoncrab


    Cheers everyone for all the stuff I have gotten so far, so fantastic work! I'll be updating the website on Monday evening/Tuesday morning and will put everything up :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,491 ✭✭✭thebostoncrab


    First new bits from Boards members are online now :)


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,788 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    Yeay :)

    TBC, would you mind if I posted the article on my website as well? I ask cause I've had issues with people in the past about double posting of such things. I don't mind though if you'd rather I don't....


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 22,933 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    wonder is there anyway, boards usernames could be put on the posts or something akin to that so we know who wrote what. For example i'd imagine the man who started the Puro thread (can still be found in the hotlinks sticky) wrote the piece on the Japanese style of wrestling but He doesent strike me as a McNichol. Though I could understand if for some personal reasons boardsies didnt want to have their real names out there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,491 ✭✭✭thebostoncrab


    TSC: Go right ahead, just leave a link on it somewhere to send people on and I'm happy :)

    BH: If people want to leave their boards.ie username on their bio I have no problem with that. Anything to help bring the two spots closer :D

    PODCAST. We should do one.

    'Twasm't me but a thoroughly enjoyable read nonetheless.
