EWW
needed momentum. So far, we had produced two shows and were getting attention
from the British wrestling fans, but mainstream interest was non-existent. We
weren’t the only ones having this problem. There was a lot of talk about TV
from both the UWA and the FWA, especially with the proliferation of more
television channels, but still the stigma of British Wrestling’s past haunted
us all. Everyone had their media contacts and we all did our best, but we knew
that our key to was to build a following. This meant more exposure of our brand
and storylines. We did not want to stay at Exeter Hall. The plan now was to get
moving on “The Armageddon Tour” and to book as many dates as possible.
Unfortunately we just did not have the money and with both Stu and me in
full-time employment it was difficult to promote a run of our own shows. We
needed to selectively partner with other promotions and get bookings.

Remembering Extreme World Warfare Part V
How did the premier highflying wrestler Jody Fleische get accused of being a female prostitute? Did EWW attempt to invade the fledgling New British Wrestling promotion, FWA (Frontier Wrestling Alliance)? And why did EWW get banned from Southsea? These questions are often prompted by the subtle teasing hints dropped by Chris (former “Mr Hardcore” and later “Extreme Enforcer”) O’Regan from time to time, but never really answered. As I write this next chapter of my recollections of my short stint as a pro wrestling promoter, I can’t help feel that it now time to make some confessions.
