Minor Milestone at ITVwrestling.co.uk

Just added about 80 matches to https://youtube.com/jnlister and embedded them at https://itvwrestling.co.uk. Pleased to say that for the first time the site has every match from a calendar year, namely 1988. (The only exception is the WWF broadcasts which it's not viable to put on YouTube.) While the pre-1977 "Heritage era" is still patchy for obvious reasons, it's now down to a handful of matches missing from about 1981 onwards.

A reminder that there were some excellent matches right to the end

A good point Peter. I'm sure I'm not the only one who drifted away in the late seventies that can now see that there were plenty of good wrestlers and wrestling in the eighties. It wasn't the wrestlers that drove us away it was the dominant promotion - the over reliance on oversized heavyweights, some ludicrous matchmaking and gimmicks, the lack of incredibility and disrespect for the intelligence of the fans.

Yes that's about it. It had a believability factor that just went out of the window.

A source of regret that Welsh Channel Four events never found their way to Channel Four in the rest of the UK
