    MATCH PROMO Showdown #2 - I don't care

    ARIA, you feeling alright luv? Did some of those punches Kirk threw your way land a bit heavier than we all thought? I know from experience that he may not be the brightest, or most talented, or the most coherent at times but the son of a bitch can throw a mean right hook that's for sure. Or is...

    MATCH PROMO Showdown #1 - The King is dead, long live the Kink

    That was a bit of fun, weren't it? You know, I've always enjoyed a day out in London. I'm not from round there so it was always something a bit special when I went there and this last visit, fuck me bruv, this last visit has topped the lot. From the standing ovation from fans who actually know...

    MATCH PROMO Showdown #2 - Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting

    Jon, I'm not trying to force anything. I'm not trying to paint a false picture or spin a false narrative or whatever other fancy la-di-dah phrase you want to use instead of just calling it how it is, bullshit. Nah bruv, I'm one of the few you'll find in this place who don't do that because it...

    MATCH PROMO Showdown #1 - An Elite Homecoming

    You know what? It's at times like this that the doubt starts creeping back in. Those feelings of inadequacy start to bubble up again. The imposter syndrome goes into overdrive. I feel my old self starting to tap me on the shoulder and whisper in my ear 'see, we always knew we weren't good...

    MATCH PROMO Reasonable Doubt #2 - Old dogs, no new tricks

    Old Yeller. Marley and Me. Turner and Hooch. I am Legend. Cujo. Why am I reeling of a list of seemingly random films you ask? Have I finally lost the plot? Nah bruv, all these films have one thing in common. By the end of the film, the old dog, beloved by all, has met his maker. Old age or some...

    MATCH PROMO Reasonable Doubt #1 - A United Kingdom

    And just like that, things are back on track. I'm having my hand raised in victory once again. Miku has just had one of the reality checks she was bangin' on about, so I'm going to assume she'll take her own advice and down grade herself from “Main Even” Miku to “Mid-card” Miku. Princess Candice...

    MATCH PROMO Showdown #2 - PSA: Please don't feed the troll

    You'd think I'd have learnt by now, wouldn't you? After however many years slogging away on the indies and a good five or so as an active member on the EAW roster, you'd thought it would have sunk into my thick skull. Maybe all those who have said I've taken one too many hit to the noggin were...

    MATCH PROMO Showdown #1 - Always watch the quiet ones

    Please don't take my silence for weakness. Don't think this silence has been me sulking as yet another opportunity slipped through my fingers. Don't for one second come to the conclusion that I've hidden myself away somewhere so I can mope about not becoming number one contender to the Answers...

    MATCH PROMO Showdown #2 - Sorry Miku, I spoke you name again

    Yep, I knew I'd missed one of the old tropes that get wheel out when anyone has to face me nowadays. If it's not Charlie, it's my lack of gold, if it's not my lack of gold it's this frankly ridiculous idea I choke in the big matches but, there's a rare fourth option which only gets drawn out by...

    MATCH PROMO Showdown #1 - I'm not being rude, you're just in my way

    I bet you're all expecting me to come out here and have a little whinge, right? I bet you're all ready for me to stand around and complain that I got screwed again, are you? I bet everyone is expecting me to be a sore loser and spend most of my time focusing on missing out on becoming the number...

    MATCH PROMO KoE #2 - A smile can brighten any day

    You know, there's very few things in this industry that put a smile on my face any more. I used to love this business. I'd wake up every day ready to lace up my boots, or get on the next jet to the next venue, or eagerly await the next card to be posted so I could see who I was facing that week...

    MATCH PROMO KOE #1 - The Future, The Fantasist and The Has-Been

    Do you know what I find funny about this match? It's already turned into another round of bash Daryl for being handed too many chances. Scott has already had a little dig when Kennie was making this match last week and I just know that little Jonny will have to make some mention of it as well...

    MATCH PROMO Showdown #2 - If we're being honest with each other...

    Ah yes, the classic defence when facing me. I'm still not any good in the ring but I've either finally got a bit of self belief or I'm just completely delusional. That seems to be the standard conclusion for anyone to go to when I start to talk with a bit of confidence. Now I've moved away from...

    MATCH PROMO Showdown #1 - The once and future Kink

    You know, I almost felt bad on Saturday night. I'd made this big thing in the lead up to Showdown about how Mattias Burke was nothing more than an unofficial bye into the Quarter Finals of the Kink of Elite tournament, and yes, I will be renaming it that when I win the the thing or maybe I'll...

    MATCH PROMO Showdown #2 - Your silence speaks volumes

    Here's the thing rookie, because let's not forget that's what you are Mattias, you're not in King of Elite on merit. Nope, by your own admission you've been less than impressive. You've had a few good showings but you've never managed to get over the line when it really matters. You're a rookie...
