Is that was because you were born and raised on the mean streets?

Haven't they just signed a new COO who used to work for WWE as well as lots of other places including Clemson University. You would hope that he will put a more professional structure in place, but I think he only started 2 days ago so he might need a bit more time to turn it around.

I have been thinking about whether i hold any specific grudges against other people or places and here is why. I was talking to my mum this morning, she's amongst other things a big boxing fan and we were talking about the Wardley v Clarke fight coming up on Sunday. As you do the conversation spread out to more general boxing and she returned to one of the boxers of yesteryear that she absolutely fucking hates. Joe Bugner. Now you may be thinking that's where the grudge part of this comes in and you'd only be sort of right. It turns out that my mum and dad had a bet before the Bugner v Ali fight in 1973, my dad bet her £1 that Bugner would be World Champion during his career and she bet he wouldn't. My dad never paid up on that bet. Even after Big Frank battered Bugner in 1987 my dad wouldn't pay, saying that Bugner still might make a comeback, which he did in 1995 fighting 9 times over the next 4 years so he still wouldn't pay up even though he was fighting nowhere near World Title level. His last fight as it turns out was in June 1999 but more importantly my dad lost his fight with lung cancer in September 1999, still having not paid up. Now they say you shouldn't speak ill of the dead, but my dad was a cunt. He did loads of horrible shit in his life, some of it to my mum and they were long divorced by the time he died. She holds no grudge against him for any of that, not the lying, the infidelity, the thieving, the list goes on and on. The only thing she cares about was that he didn't pay the £1 for Joe Bugner, it still makes her genuinely angry. I don't think I hold that kind of hatred in my heart for anyone, though perhaps there are a couple of people who might bear a grudge against me. One thing I am reasonably sure of though is that there are folks here who might hold a grudge. Does anyone want to get it off their chest? It might make you feel better, or it might reinforce it.

That looks like enough merch for the total of last night's crowd to be fair, and that does bring down the quality of the show. That tinny crowd noise of not many people in a big arena really detracts from the quality of the show. There were some enjoyable matches that would have been even better if they weren't put on in front of one man and his dog. One thing that stood out as dogshite in an otherwise good match was that dive over the top rope to hand stand on the apron, to hurricanrana that Swerve did. That looked fucking awful and does not need to be repeated.

You can't see where both of his hands are.

Roman isn't the same as any other WWE champion, he isn't on TV all the time and he usually sends his minions to do his work. Rock may say he is The Final Boss but he has acknowledged Roman as his Tribal Chief. -

Thanks Sheepy. He is someone who completely passed me by. -
Boxing: General News & Discussion Thread

So the British Boxing Board Of Control has won its appeal against Conor Benn. So that Texas State Athletic Commision Boxing license is going to get some more use. Boxing is a joke when it comes to drugs. -

Who is the lad who isn't Drew or Wade? McAfee giggling away like Winnie The Pooh is the exact kind of thing that makes it an 11/10. I understand that he is marmite but every reaction is genuine and he is just a massive fan who happens to have the commentary job. -

Drew's accent is a bit like his face. All over the shop and not getting better the longer he spends in the US. -
I'd not seen that before buddy so thank you for that. The Welsh Elvis could always be a tricky interview.

All the things that were said were bleeped or muted on the 9pm version of Raw tonight on TNT Sports. The only thing that I noticed that they cut completely were the references to Cornette's podcast. That is some petty shit. Speaking of petty shit though, loads of full arena shots, which I assume is their way of having a dig at Antonio Khanoki and AEW ticket tribulations. -

When the structural engineers on the scene use the word "Flimsy" to describe the construction of the bridge it can't come as a surprise that it fell down like that, and I don't know about you lot but when I cross a bridge I like to hear words like "Robust" or "Sturdy" not "Flimsy" regarding its construction. -

I know this really isn't the time but is that the bridge that the Greeks killed Frank Sobotka under in The Wire?
