Interview with John Lister

Saturday April 22, 2006
A few months ago, I interviewed John Lister, the author of Turning the Tables. This was the first book ever published about the history of ECW. In this interview we discuss ECW and international wrestling. John is from England and their satellite system has a 24 hour wrestling channel. While they get TNA PPV events for free, DirecTV won't telecast the wrestling legends PPV later this month.

With the WWE taping RAW and SmackDown! in England this week, the timing for finding out about watching wrestling there couldn't be better. In addition, our ECW discussions provide a perfect transition into the next topic this site will be covering, Extreme Championship Wrestling. Starting next week, this site will be providing plenty of ECW memories as the WWE will soon be holding ECW One Night Stand 2, the most poorly named PPV ever.

I would like to apologize to John for the long delay in posting this interview and thank him for his time and for the use of the attached cover image of his book.
