Seen Williams wrestle over here a few times - British legend IMO. Not as recognisable as Regal or the late, great Davey Boy Smith, but a superb technical wrestler and extremely respected by the fans.

Williams is probably the best British lad knocking about the business today.

And, he has a win over Eddie Guerrerro on his CV.

Really?! When was that?

For anyone who hasn't been to many british shows (not inc WWE or TNA tours), would really recommend also catching some/all of these guys in action:

Doug Williams
Pac
Johnny Storm
Jody Fleish
James Mason

TNA has released the dates for their 2010 Maximum iMPACT! tour, venues and ticket information will follow in the next few days.

Jan 23
Jan 26
Jan 27
Jan 28
Jan 29
Jan 30

I hope one of those is either Manchester or Liverpool.

Any possibility of them having a Yorkshire date, do you think?

A few years ago, during one of the many attempts to revive British Wrestling. The match was televised on Bravo and is available *cough*somewhere*cough* on a t'interweb video site.

Ah yeah, remember reading about it now actually. Think it happened early 2003 in London, a few months before Guerrero returned to WWF into a fued with RVD.

Yeah that's him, does some amazing stuff (him and Johnny Storm has a blinding tag match with two guys at 1PW in Donny last year).
