The Wrestlers: Fighting With My Family

Channel 4 tonight(Wednesday 18th July) 10pm(11pm +1), well worth a watch as it shows two of the younger members of the Knight wrestling dynasty Zak(Zodiac) and Britani(Knight) as they attend WWE tryouts showing what it takes to make it in the wrestling profession and onto the biggest stage of them all WWE.

I thought it was quite good, really, although I did feel they were a bit too starry-eyed about making it in America (she might, looks a bit like another Lita - he almost certainly won't). Maybe there could be a follow-up on those Brits who have tried to make it in the States (Regal, Barrett, Winter, McIntyre, Burchill etc).

Would be a fairly brief program then Only, really Davey Boy, Dynamite, & Regal have had a big impact in WWF/WWE. I reserve judgement on Sheamus & Barrett for a few more years- in other words, when they actually start to draw at the box office.

Back to the documentary though, I think Brittani is a talented girl, especially for her age (20 soon), but I fear she'll become another Katie Lea/Winter- alternative looking, decent wrestler, but she'll adopt an obnoxious mid-atlantic accent just to try and fit in with Americans.

True, I meant more of a follow-up on them, with added coverage of the others (I always forget Sheamus, the most boring heavyweight champion around).

Katie Lea got lumbered with a cruddy gimmick in WWE, and the TNA one hasn't been a whole lot better.
