Another year has just come to an end. 2007 was a year with some great and some bad memories.

Starting off in my home country, Norway, there was more shows than ever before, but for some reason the size of the crowds do not seem to grow to new heights. The biggest highlight for me in NWF was to wrestle against Cannonball Grizzly/PN News in my hometown, Lillestrøm, on the 30th September. This match got lots of publicity in the area. Another highlight was to wrestle some matches in Norway with British rules and rounds. Two of those matches were against the talented newcomer Aron. 2007 is, however, a year that will be remembered because of the loss of Isak who was definately one of the most talented of the NWF guys and also a good friend. He sadly died in a car accident on the 10th October.

I had some good travels abroad in 2007, and I travelled to England and Finland several times to wrestle for World Associaction of Wrestling (WAW) and for Fight Club Finland (FCF). At Fightmare 2 on the 12th May, I won the WAW World Championship, and only two weeks later, I won the FCF Championship. It was a big honour for me to wrestle for these titles. The atmosphere at WAW shows is great with their "old-school" crowds, and there is also a friendly atmosphere backstage. Ricky Knight and his family are nice people who always make me feel welcome when I am over there. At some of the WAW shows, I got to meet people like Jason Cross and Dean Ayass again, guys who I had not met for more than 10 years.... I enjoyed being back to Finland this year. The Finnish wrestlers, who are getting better and better, were eager to learn more when I did a couple of traning seminars for them. I had a couple of matches against Stark Adder who has come a long way in the last few years. The best match I had in Finland this year, I believe, was a triple threat that also featured the cheating Valentine.

For the first time, I wrestled in Austria for the Riotgas Wrestling Alliance (RWA) in June. There I wrestled on an outdoor show against Cannonball Grizzly in front of 1.000 people. After the show, there was a BBQ party and a chance to hang out with the wrestlers. Over the year, I also travelled to Italy and Spain. It is great to wrestle in different places, but it is also great to catch up with some of the wrestlers I do not see very often and also to meet new people.

All in all, a year with a lot to remember.

I would like to finish this year in review with my special thanks to the promoters who booked me, the wrestlers I worked with and the fans who supported me in 2007: THANKS!

My first match in 2008 is for EWE Catch in Spain tomorrow, and in just a few weeks time, I go back to England for HEW and WAW, so the new year has a good start. I hope to wrestle in some new places this year too.

I wish you all the best for 2008.

Erik
