It was an absolute honour and privilege to referee a fantastic tag team main event between Meat Wagon (aka Super Athletes) and TJ Rex & Ritmo this past Saturday at Pro Wrestling 4U. Made even sweeter by getting to crown new Tag Team Champions.

We also live closer to Alton Towers, we just happened to be in London for a family thing so stayed nearby as my wife had always wanted to go and this seemed the best opportunity

Steve Dean @stevedeanrefs.bsky.social · 3d

Not a chance. We had the opportunity to go on it again cos short q times, and we opted for the longer q time of Saw! My wife loves her rollercoasters, but even for her it was too much!

@idlmpodcast.bsky.social went to Thorpe Park last week. I hated Hyperia with every fibre of my being! The lap bar weirded me out massively! I literally cried afterwards. I hated the climb and every moment thereafter! Saw was bloody great, and so was Colossus and Nemesis 🖤 not a fan of Swarm

Hey @idlmpodcast.bsky.social, I'm late to the party! But, Mayor McCheese 100% is a one punch wonder!

Steve Dean @stevedeanrefs.bsky.social · 19d

Very grateful for the share!

Yes, any and all is welcome and it would be used so well and help us help others 🖤💛

@stevedeanrefs.bsky.social and his friends at House Of Pain are trying to raise money for a van and potentially a mini bus so they can tour and fight. They're 84% of the way there! If you can afford to chuck them a quid they'll be super grateful!

Re-listening to the entire @sonicpodcast.bsky.social, and am up to ep. 71 where a hume mentions getting a S3&K diorama, and thought I'd have a look of such things could be bought.
I found an Etsy where someone has made Funkos of STC OCs including Amy with CROSSBOW!

Take the picture!

I've never taken for granted that being a small part of the biz, I'm fulfilling a childhood dream. Given chance, I'll indulge my inner child.

Thanks to the Strelley Fun Day, Gloworm and House of Pain, I've been able to do this!

Young Steve is beaming!

Not everything quite went to plan at Strelley 🤕

I was distracted by Mickey & Minnie Mouse, Stitch and Bumblebee (true story)🐭🤖
