So it's a time of weird and wonderful happenings for your 'Internet Icon'......

On Saturday (the 19th of August), I take a trip to a certain wrestling promotion from my past. I don't plan to name names, but I think it's pretty obvious what current UK promotion I have a well known past with that no-one ever thought I'd go up to see. But I'm really looking forward to going up there and meeting certain people, and even the road trip is going to be pretty wild considering who I'm taking with me!

On Friday (the 15th of September), I'm doing the one thing I swore I would never EVER do. I'm getting in the ring. So, for EAW (www.eawrestling.co.uk), their champion Lionheart will be facing, in a two on one handicap match; Nero....and Petey! Yes, I'm going to be wrestling. You don't want to miss this one because it's rather doubtful I'll ever do it again - at time of writing this will be a very one off incident. Visit EAW's website for details on how to buy the dvd releases from past and current shows, and watch me at what I've been reliably told (hey, I'm not going to doubt my missus!) is me at my most arrogant best!

Recently, I've been busy what with three bookings a month (ACW, EAW, and BRAWL), so I've been a bit too busy to write that much, but as ever my website is updated as much as I can so keep checking by at www.peterstaniforth.co.uk for all the latest about what I'm up to.

In other random bits and pieces, as my mind is here, there, and everywhere these days....

Why is everyone complaining about DX? I find Michaels's facial expressions and mannerisms priceless, and I know a good few 40 or so year old men who still behave in that degenerate way, it's just HBK and HHH get paid well to do it! Guys, chill out, stop over analysing and following the sheep and just switch your brain off and laugh like a teenager (we all have one inside us, especially us men!)......

Makes me sick to see Umaga's big push, when all he is, is a complete ripoff of my good friend Mana. Classic WWE, rip an indy worker's character off without so much as a word and even less respect......

ECW? Everyone's complaining about ECW. I suppose it's because they teased us twice on PPV with shows that weren't too bad at all and seemed to still have enough bingo hall spirit to keep even the most serious ECW fan (like myself) interested enough. The tv show? Well, I want to believe in it and that it'll finally work itself out in time to a point where it's not that bad (we all know that it wont ever be that realistic of the old product, we just need to accept that and get over it I think), but with WWE having the final say I guess I'll just keep an eye on it, watch it but not truly care that much; and just stick with my old ECW tapes from 1993 to 1996 which I love so much........

TNA is on fire.....literally! Well, that's an incident I never thought I'd hear about but it sounds like they handled it well, and although there's certain things about TNA that don't appeal to me one bit (Sting, Scott Steiner), there's always the likes of Petey Williams and Matt Bentley (as two examples) for me to mark out for like a kid. TNA are a wonderful alternative to WWE, and are keeping up the constant positive progressing.

Philly is getting interesting....PWU shows are stacked, CZW seem to be going back to their roots, new promotions pop up here and there with potential; and it's still the best place to keep an eye on what's going on!....

And that's that, I'm out. As ever, thanks for reading the UK's best manager and journalist's views (but unlike some, my ego is inflatable), and remember that 'I'm better than you....because I'm from Luton'!
