Here's part four of the Australian Wrestling Chronicles, which is also my entry for Matthew Hester's CvC competition. I think it's the best of the series so far.

Also, here's my new series "This Week In Pro Wrestling History"

I am surprised by the number of people who actually want to reserve the right to bad-mouth their teams! I offer constructive criticism, of course, but one in particular wants to be able to say, "they suck," if they do.

I don't get it. Will YOU take the pledge?

Hi Martin,

I am in the process of compiling the December issue of B/R's European Club Rankings — I was wondering if you would be interested in contributing? It would be a case of listing your top 20 teams in Europe, with a couple of comments about a few of them.

Here is last month's version — http://bleacherreport.com/articles/72991-br-official-european-club-rankings-november

If you are keen, post your email on my board and I will send you an email with more details. If not, no worries — keep up the good writing.

Thanks,

Alex
