The Bagpipe Report

The Bagpipe Report

The Bagpipe Report was the world's first weekly professional wrestling magazine show that broadcast via TWC Fight! (Then known as The Wrestling Channel). The weekly hour long in-house produced programme from Howth, Ireland - was presented by Blake Norton, and launched on July 9 2004 at 8PM.

Transcending from an earlier web based newsletter; the show which boasted no allegiances, no politics, and no agendas, covered the entire spectrum of the wrestling world with all the latest news, exclusive interviews and competitions. Apart from airing across Europe, shows are available for download from the official website.

The beginnings

Whilst studying in New York, Charles MacLaurin became a pioneer of the internet wrestling fan base when he launched The Bagpipe Report in 1996, a newsletter with a mailing list for thirty friends. The name of bagpipe was apparently due to the originator hailing from Scotland.
