Steve Swift’s Rambling Reviews

Mid South Wrestling 5.21.1984 Got Loads Going On!

So why important an angle from World Class Championship Wrestling and why makes 2 close knit wrestlers fall out? Too much stuff and Mud South don't seem to know what to do with it...

Is This 2nd Judas Priest Album With ’Ripper’ Owens Better Than The First?

Yes, better, but certainly not ideal, there's just too much of it, with some unwelcome Grunge but more Heavy Metal sleekness...

Candlemass Are Back! But will this EP Delight Or Leave Us Distraught?

The Doom Metal icons are back with 2 new tracks (one of them and instrumental) and 2 covers. so it's all on that first track. Good job it's a big offer...

Salty Terrance Is Bacl At The Desk! And Memphis Wrestling Delights In Other Ways Too...

What a great episode, no guests needed, no massive announcements, just good wrestling and great angles...

Is This Judas Priest Album As Bad As People Think?

The first with Ripper Owens taking over from Rob Halford, 'Jugulator' is overlooked and even disliked; is that fair?

Appalachian Mountain Wrestling Gives Us A Winner!

Southern States Wrestling Is present with Lord of course, Beau James and Chase Emery too; they create great moments here...

Southern States Wrestling Is A Tasty Treat This Week!

2 title matches are good, the promos are good, Lord Murphy Costigan is here, of course it's good...

Spinebuster Presents Elevation! And Reminds Us That Wrestling Can Just Be Fun...

Trent Seven and Dave Breaks just entertain, including a kid punching Breaks in the gut...

Beware Greeks Bearing Gifts? Whoever said that never heard this Greek Bank Wildfire!

This is New NWOBHM? Sounds like it, but they never stay in the Heavy Metal world for long, they do so much on this album, they also do it brilliantly...

Should Sledgehammer Be Well Thought Of In The NWOBHM World?

This album is late in the NWOBHM period and it's a little odd, I like it, but what does it want to be? Indie? Rock? Pop? All, which might be the problem...
