AWE Night of Legends: old stars burned out, new starts shining bright. as a sports columnist, I’ve seen a lot of professional sport events in my time. Naturally, when the title "AWE – Night of Legends" flashed across my screen with the subtext "professional wrestling", I was intrigued. Especially considering I wasn’t really aware that other pro-wrestling companies existed other than the WWE and a few other minor leagues. upon further inspection, I learned that some of the wrestlers I grew up watching were part of the show, such as "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, Fit Finlay, Kevin Nash, and Ricky Morton (of the Rock And Roll Express). Needless to say, I was extremely interested.However, my passion was soon derailed, as I learned that my former favorites have lost a couple of steps. Finlay could still swing like a champ, but Jim Duggan seemed as though he only attended the event due to having the day off from his day job. it was almost embarrassing.what really shocked me, though, was the amount of passion I saw the younger talent. You could tell they knew the world was watching, as they did not disappoint.One of the young participants, a guy named Jamen Olivencia, was extremely impressive. not only did his pre-match interview really make me hate him (which was likely the intention), but his match really opened my eyes. Like previously mentioned, I haven’t seen much outside the WWE, but Jamen and his opponent, Sonjay Dutt, really went at it like a pair of gladiators. I had no idea that wrestling moved this quickly. Jamen and Sonjay stole the show, period.Other than those two, there was a guy who went against Finlay named Alex Silva that really caught my eye. Finlay doesn’t seem like he’d be a fun guy to wrestle, because he seems like he makes you earn a win, but Silva really earned his spot in the ring. I wasn’t too fond of seeing Sunny out there, but whatever. I was shocked, happily, to see Silva win. Jim Duggan’s opponent also showed a lot of heart, a guy named Mohammed Akbar. he was the perfect opponent for a guy like Duggan, as it was a very big USA vs. the world-type atmosphere. Akbar came across as a seriously evil guy, and seemed a little too comfortable being the bad guy.there was very little otherwise worth mentioning, other than a surprise appearance by DDP and a midget match. Other than the young guys, I was a little disappointed. AWE has a solid roster with their younger wrestlers, so maybe they should stick to having them around.

Yes?

OUR international football team may be still smarting from the World Cup and our best tennis hopefuls are still short of Wimbledon glory, but there is hope away from the world of sport.

Witness our best shout to be the best at something as metal band Malefice appear at The Boileroom on Saturday August 6.

Black Sabbath, Motorhead, Iron Maiden – Britain is an isle that has long been steeped in heavy metal heritage, but when was the last time it produced an act that showed the genuine potential to bother the biggest names in world metal? The answer to this conundrum has arrived in the shape of Malefice.

Formed in Reading in 2003, vocalist Dale Butler, guitarists Ben Symons and Alex Vuskans, bassist Tom Hynes and drummer Craig Thomas went about crafting the sound that would see them cemented as Britain’s premier heavy metal act.

Their monstrous debut album Entities was a punishing, brutal assault to the system. Crossing the boundaries of thrash, death and mathcore, Entities specialised in the same power groove that saw Pantera and Lamb of God rise to legendary status in the field.

Arriving with nothing in the way of fancy haircuts, cheesy gimmicks or music industry hype, Malefice are a band that captured the minds and banged the bonces of every metalhead that missed metal in its purest, most uncompromising form; brutal, tuneful and heavy as hell.

After sharing the stage with some of the most esteemed names in modern metal (Sepultura, DevilDriver and Morbid Angel to name but a few) and earning universal praise for their festival-stealing slot at Download 2008, Malefice have earned a reputation as one of Europe’s elite metal talents.

That reputation is set to soar to yet new heights with their upcoming new album on the illustrious Metal Blade label.

Now with a year of hard touring with some of the elite, including Anthrax and Arch Enemy, and the release of their new album, 2011 could be the year when the metal world witnesses the carnage that is Malefice.

And you can be a part of it all at the Boileroom.

Doors open at 7.30pm, admittance is 18+ and tickets are £8 in advance from wegottickets.com.

It has blades like a pair of clippers used for cutting hair (2 blades close together which slide back and forth with teeth at the top), and is a type of reciprocating saw. I saw an electrician using one to cut a square hole for a light switch fitting, and my dad casually mentioned he would like one of them.

So i'm looking for what name they are given, tried googling etc but only found the ones with a normal blade.

If it helps, they make a hell of a lot of noise!?
