Daniel Fitch is best known for his work within the
wrestling
industry. His first contribution to which came about in
1997 when he produced the
online newsletter, "Who The Hell is
Bob Holly?". With its off-centre articles, and
cartoons
lampooning pro
wrestlers it quickly became a big hit amongst his family and local
two year olds.
Fitch left wrestling behind as he concentrated on other subject
matters to write on. Hired by a local newspaper he was given the
task of writing a weekly humorous slant on football, that was often
riddled with typos, factual errors, and a surprising inability to
keep the same style in the same article, often spelling words
Mackem in multiple ways in
the space of four parapgraphs.
After a brief foray back into wrestling journalism, first with
Wrestleline.com, then with his own fanzine
Plancha, that
sold around 20 copies per issue, according to Fitch himself, Fitch
moved into the promoting business.
Joining forces with the local federation,
IWF, and the
Newcastle Wrestling Store, Fitch
set about making a huge impact in his hometown of
Newcastle upon
Tyne with
Main Event Wrestling's debut show:
Northern Bash which allegedly drew over 700 fans. Two matches from
Northern Bash featuring competitors from
Irish Whip
Wrestling were later aired on
The Wrestling
Channel and the DVD of the event became one of the top five
hundred best-selling British independent wrestling DVDs.
Following Northern Bash, Fitch proceeded to promote MEW's second
event, subtitled Second Coming, at the
Journal Tyne
Theatre. Featuring international "stars" such as
Honky Tonk Man and
Shark Boy as well as
British wrestlers like
Jody Fleisch and
Jonny Storm, Second Coming was attended by
approximately three hundred fans. Fitch himself made an appearance
on the show as the camp Commissioner of MEW, refereeing Honky Tonk
Man's match with local wrestler Gen. Trent Steel.
Fitch is currently promoting MEW's
July 8 show 'Back For Blood', featuring former
NWA World Heavyweight
Champion Christian Cage, the return of
D'Lo Brown and a Heavyweight
Title tournament. That show has since been moved to
September 10, although you
wouldn't know it, as the official MEW website still promoted the
original July date, with less than a fortnight to go.
