[edit] The Status of FWA

"Frontier Wrestling Alliance (FWA) is Europe's highest profile professional wrestling promotion, based in the United Kingdom."

At the time of writing this article, this may have been the case. I would actually disagree now. 1PW is more likely to be the highest profile as they have the exposure on TWC, plus a large amount of roster talent from TNA. Also worth noting there's no proof it's the highest profile in Europe - presently Irish Whip Wrestling/1PW has more. White43 11:18, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

I've now made changes to the page to reflect the current state of FWA. It is no longer broadcast on TWC.White43 11:32, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

did some clean up on that edit but Yea i think it did need to be rewritten but they are still highest profile English promotion as 1PW is an general considered an international promotion not an English one... if you read many English promters views one that company and general cosencus due to it having TNA and inernational talent with a hand full of actual British competitors to job for them it's not considered a real English promotion. --- Paulley 11:47, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

There was no need to back out the changes I made, they actually broke up the page a little and made it easier to read. Odd that you've taken out 'English' here, then argued that FWA is the highest profile English promotion. Regardless of whether 1PW is international or not, it's still regionally British/English as it's based there. WWE/TNA are American, 1PW/FWA are British/English.White43 12:24, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

True.. but it did read funny "English promotion based in the UK"... i think i may take out the UK bit as that only suited the European comment. As for page breaking it isnt needed what-so-ever esspecially as it is all apart of the promotion history and not different aspects i.e. Roster, Titles, etc... --- Paulley

Mate, Saying 'English' in the 'UK' is not an odd thing. They aren't mutually exclusive. The UK is made up of four countries. It could be a Scottish or Welsh promotion. Saying English regionalises it. As FWA is based in England, it's an English promotion in the UK. I concur with the current description of it being an English promotion.

No, its odd because you would say its a "promotion in the United Kindom based in England"... as there no point saying its a English promotion based in the UK because like you said England is obviously in the UK... and if you notice the correct link for English promotion reads [[United Kingdom|English]] --- Paulley... i mean you wouldnt say New York promotion based in the United States... unless there are more New Yorks than i have been informed about.

"Frontier Wrestling Alliance (FWA) is a high profile English professional wrestling promotion." - to anybody who isn't English, this sentence makes it sound as though the FWA is well known within England and English culture as WWE is in America or the likes of AAA and CMLL are in Mexico. If you asked somebody in an English stret who the FWA were they wouldn't have a clue.

I very much doubt everybody in the street knows who WWE are. But if you are into British wrestling you will know who FWA are... in the same way as they would know who Alex Shane is and Doug Williams, or Big Daddy --- Paulley

[edit] Tense of article

The promotions is no longer in operation. The tense of the article is wrong throughout and needs a severe edit.

indeed it does.. Have you considered editing it yourself?.. edits like this are alway a good place to start--- Paulley 21:15, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] FWA:A shows

The paragraph on the FWA Academy contains more errors than facts.

"With the arrival of 2006 came a new image, the FWA developed a new logo and completely redesigned their website. The FWA Academy would also begin presenting their own supercard shows, which were referred to as FWA:A events. Often fueding with rival FWA development territory FWA Manchester, FWA:M also goes by the name Futureshock. However, these training shows only continued for a year with the final shaow, entitled FWA:A Graduation Day, taking place on January 27, 2007 at Buckland Centre, Portsmouth."

The first "supercard" was held in April 2005. Even prior to this, the Academy had been running its own shows for years - the supercards were merely a step up in production values and venue size.

Also, any interaction with FWA Manchester seems to have been overstated considerably here.

Details on the final show - or "shaow" - are correct. This was not a supercard however, as the reader may be led to assume.
