Steve Swift’s Rambling Reviews

Memphis Wrestling From Last Saturday! Was it a bit thin?..

I wanted a bit more wrestlimgcamd some more angles really, but that WWE ID match was very one-sided and I did like the LA Hustlers not looking forward to the ladder match because they're afraid of heights...

EPW Wrestling; Can Dorian Vain Win The NWW Title!

Title match mayhem! And a big Title at that! Plus tag team turmoil - so well done...

Smith/Kotzen New Album Is Extremely Easy To Enjoy!

We know them. Well like them. Adrian Smith and Richie Kotzen have nothing to prove. And so, they produce a very accessible, easy to enjoy album, nothing really kills here, but it's si good to spend time with. And that's so hard to do...

Captain Blackbeard Make 80’s AOR Sound So Exciting!

This Album Brooks no dissent, it has really fun and just doesn't let up, it keeps the energy and exciting feeling up from beginning to end; what a success!

Freefall Created This Brilliant, Overlooked Rock Album 11 Years Ago!

This is a Swedish success which so few new of, out on Nuclear Blast, not really picked up much, this is raucous, rambunctious, really good rock n' roll; called 'Power & Volume', seek it out, have a listen, you surely won't be disappointed...

Seven Sisters Describe Themselves A Double Guitar Metal! They’re More Than That...

There's a lot on this 4-track EP, Metal, yes, but opened out Rock and some Prog which is on the dramatic side. This is a 'Part 2' album and I have to go back and listen to Part 1...

What A Superb Rock Debut. But Are Alcatrazz NWOBHM?..

Well, this is 1983, so it might be too late, it's Graham Bonnet's band and he was with non-NWOBHM Rainboe bit also with possible NWOBHM Michael Schenker Group. One thing we can be sure of, this is an overwrought, brilliant debut...

Mid South Wrestling Grom May 1984! They get the yellow paint out...

Yes, someone will be painted yellow, their cerise shirt ruined. And Terry Taylor is allowed to wrestle in a soft collar, Cornette is naughty and Jim Watts positively salivate over Dr Death Steve Williams...

Memphis Wrestling Stumbles Across A Great Idea!

The idea? Have Zay Washington fafe The Gunshow for the Heritage title; they mesh and gel, plus Zay took it to hin and I reckon did as well as Aaron Roberts has - a programme between these two, please...

EPW Wrestling Surprises Me! And what a tight little show...

They wouldn't take the belt off Marko Harris, would they? Would they?...
Elsewhere, they give us a nice short match and Eric Wayne might have injured himself...
