We open up the doors to the Bang Bang archive to go back to 2020 and take in the little chat we had in Steve's living room about his day out at Wembley in 1992, contains lots of swearing and drinking, and possibly some references that might be dodgy in 2025, but hey, cheers all x

Another trip back to 2020, and the lockdown version of MITB, which took place in the WWE Building in Connecticut, and it was all pre-taped, so edited perfectly and full interesting stuff, or maybe not...

What is more festive than two best  friends trying to batter each other over a longstanding issue

Merry Christmas

See you all soon xxx

Well It's Christmas Eve...

So what better way to celebrate than a Death Match from Empire State Wrestling in 2019

A back episode from 2021, in celebration of the wonderful Glenn Abbott who sadly passed away late 2025.

Check out Glenn's work at "A Work in Progress" here https://youtu.be/KJ9weoIegog?si=zSbTNrjYNYqFbyEJ  A true Wrestling Fan, who knew everything, and completely ridiculed my lack of knowledge (and professionalism, quite rightly) 

Glenn will be missed by all of us xx

Cheers
