The Irish Whip: Blogging Over the Limit Wed 23 May 2012
I haven’t done one of these in a long time, but wrestling is something I want to get writing about again; it’s an interest of mine, and this is a place for my interests, so it makes sense to me....
Weeknotes #533-550 Thu 29 Mar 2012
The first quarter of the year’s almost done and there’s so much I haven’t written here. I’m well overdue a catch-up, I know. This one may be brief, but it’s better than nothing. The highlights: Hitting the four stone mark...
Weeknotes #526-532 Sun 04 Dec 2011

Blogfodder Link Dump Part 9 Sun 04 Sep 2011
The ninth and final entry in this series, for now. It’s been good to dig into my bookmarks and get this stuff up here, random as it is, so it’s searchable and readable and hopefully edifying for any visitor who...
Blogfodder Link Dump Part 8 Sun 28 Aug 2011
The penultimate link dump. This selection comes from the first half of 2007, a year when I didn’t really blog at all. I regret that. Anyway, enjoy: Crappy Sound Forever! / David Byrne on how recording technology changed the way...
Weeknotes #510-516 Tue 23 Aug 2011 | 0 Comments
Thanks to Twitter for helping me remember the following: 4/7 — I find a hole torn in the back of favorite plaid shirt. Annoyed. Proper, durable (non-fashiony) plaid shirts are hard to come by round these parts. Later in the...
Introducing... The Irish Whip Wed 13 Jul 2005
It’s been a long, long time since I last wrote about wrestling here. Nine months, in fact. To be truthful, that’s not due to any lack of interest in my part (though it does get wearisome sometimes I keep on...
Interview with Blake Norton Mon 07 Feb 2005
Today is your lucky day. Not only do you get something new to read, but you also get something to listen to -- namely, the radio programme I made from an interview conducted this past December with independent wrestling renaissance...
Taboo Tuesday Tue 19 Oct 2004
Have you voted for Taboo Tuesday yet? For the grapple-phobic among you, Taboo Tuesday is the first major pro wrestling show where the fans get to vote online to decide the stipulations for the matches. I’ve just cast my ballot,...
Viva Puroresu! Tue 18 Nov 2003
Instead of posting new writings here over the last week (and trust me, I've got a whole bunch of stuff on the way, going back _weeks_ and probably horribly out of date by now but still worth writing about in...
A Cynical Business Mon 07 Jul 2003
Three weeks ago in The Midnight News, Hyatte had the following to say: A week or so ago, someone found me on AIM and asked if I loved wrestling anymore. I said no. He then asked if there was anything...

The Tag Rope Sun 22 Sep 2002
I wonder if many people watching this week's edition of SmackDown! noticed the return of the humble tag rope. For those who aren't in the know, the tag rope is a long piece of white cord, similar I would...
No Wonder Thu 18 Jul 2002
This says a lot about the current state of big time pro wrestling. With an attitude like that, it's no wonder fans have been deserting in droves....
The Bisch Is Back Tue 16 Jul 2002
So Eric Bischoff has joined World Wrestling Entertainment. That was a bit of a shocker, eh? It seems that most of the company's own employees were taken aback as much as I am. I especially got a chuckle out...
Give The Public What They Want Wed 10 Jul 2002
So, Vince McMahon is becoming very desparate to turn things around, eh? Here's a tip, Vince: give the public what they want, not what you want. Does he even understand how they got beaten in the ratings week after...
The Grapple News Fri 28 Jun 2002
It's Friday night, which means wrestling's on the telly, and I've been perusing the grapple news: First of all, get well soon Bret Hart. Although you really shouldn't have been going so fast on that bike, should you? (I'm...
Jericho Finished With the Internet Mon 24 Jun 2002
So Chris Jericho is finished with the Internet? To be honest, I can't say I blame him for feeling frustrated. A lot of fans on the 'net tend to be the backseat-driver kind. I must admit here that I...
At Least He Wasn't Driving a White Ford Bronco... Or Was He? Tue 18 Jun 2002
Can you believe this? It's obvious from the events of the last few weeks that Steve Austin has problems. Following the man around in a helicopter isn't going to help the situation, is it?...
