2007, I think. Benoit changed everything, you can track a million little problems in the company, from creative errors, suspensions and everything else to his actions, and the company as a whole continued to endlessly suffer. If anything I look at Cena's return and the optimsm around Jeff Hardy in January 2008 as the time they started to shake off the cobwebs.

It gets a lot of love on here seemingly because of the Smackdown Six, but 2002 sucked a massive fucking cock for me.

- Outside of literally 3 or 4 nostalgia appearances and a couple of surprising jobs to Angle and Brock, the Hogan matches were just appalling
- The titanic failure of every iteration of the nWo.
- The monumental disappointment of Christ Jericho's first run with the title
- Steve Austin's matches sucking balls, his walkout and personal problems putting an indellible mark on his legacy
- Triple H, the entire fucking year and every horrible little thing he inflicted upon it, far too numerous to mention
- Raw was so bad on a weekly basis that it neutralised how good Smackdown was - I genuinely believed it was so Vince could bury Bischoff somehow, it was that bad
- Loads and loads and loads of Stephanie McMahon
- A fucking stinker of a Wrestlemania

Not only all that, but it was a realisation that the golden era really had ended way back at the climax of Wrestlemania X7. "Getting the F Out" couldn't have been better timed in hindsight too, the company struggled with its identity long into 2003 before it started to gain a bit (and just a bit) of long term focus back.

Don't get me wrong, there were big positives, such as the rise of Brock, my favourite match of the decade (the tag at No Mercy), and Summerslam 02 being a freakishly great show, but living through it week on week was utter torture.

Horses for courses, I loved the 90s, every year of it, for a variety of different reasons. I know lots of people loathe 93-97 in particular though.

Can anyone provide me with a link to the BBW thread? It's passed me by and I can't seem to spot it in the UK Events section.

Here you go buddy.

Many thanks

That's excellent. Poor Stephanie didn't get any.

Monkee going above and beyond the call of duty!


Really good feel good thing.. as was said AWESOME!

Just got connected to a guy who was pissing into his own face. It'll all be downhill from there.

Good. Now i dont have to listen to the IWC's cries of "shes not being used right she should be beating up all the male wrestlers" and she can join Alissa to go and work for Slimmer in front of 200 fat sweaty four-eyed paedophiles where she's actually appreciated.

I don't totally agree with all of it, but very few things make me laugh out loud on here, and that did. I absolutely love the rage, and "fat sweaty four-eyed paedophiles" really really tickled the funny bone.

I laughed too so you're not alone.

Is "fifth it" a term? Because I'm in concurrence with the directly above posts.

my first nomination for March:

Yes, this really does smash the happy ever after myth of civil partnerships.

I'll also nominate this.

It's not, except maybe with the meaning of 'divide by five'. After somebody 'seconds' something, everyone who agrees with it thereafter merely 'assents' to it.

Furthermore, all 5 of you haven't noticed you've been nominating a post made in March for February post of the month. Time for a new thread methinks.

Two thumbs fresh from me as well. I'd almost suggest an "I *heart* Jan Moir" custom av/sig for patdfb if it weren't for the fact that such a moniker would far exceed anybody's definition of cruel and unusual punishment.

I was drawing comparison to the fact that two BBC presenters have died at home withing 8 years who happened to be gay... and the issue is where?

In the fact that you're finding any rhyme or reason in that. What is there to see there? What were you trying to suggest with the comparison? The BBC is a big company, 8 years is a long time, lots of people are gay, and lots of people die in their houses.

I keep meaning to buy Frantic Planet Mainly to read whilst strangling myself in a cupboard.

Okay, my writing is shite! This has been established else where. However, the point that I was trying to make and failing because i didnt embellish it, was that if you are or were a Male TV presenter for the BBC around the turn of the millenium then their are lots of 'personal demons' that will cause havoc to your career or kill you. The fact that the presenter is gay really increases the chances of bad stuff happening, 5/8th of the list below are gay, so in this case it is justified as highlighting it as some kind of 'cross to bear'


Off the top of me head, since Richard Bacon's Coke Episode c.1998

There has been:-

Christopher Price's sudden death
Kristian Digby's sudden death
Mark Speights suicide
Ray Gosling admitting killing one of his former lovers in a mercy killing
Hardeep Singh Kohli inapprpiate behaviour in the Green Room of the One show
Richard Quest's methaphetamine bust ( though Iam not sure how long hes been with CNN
Nigel Wrench Rapist

Ive probably missed loads, but basically, if you are gay and want to present on the BBC, then stay the hell away, as its likely things will go horribly wrong, was the point I was trying to make

So what you're saying is this really does smash the happy ever after myth about Civil Partnerships?

This thread has given me a warm fuzzy feeling.

The only reason I started writing was to have one of my books listed in the news as an item found next to the body of someone who'd wanked themselves to death.

That, or spotted in the background on a shelf or counter top in slightly grim amateur porn pictures.

Still waiting for both.

Yeah... You got me.

Very few blokes have had the privilege of seeing it, to be honest. My ex absolutely hated it though. In fact, he always hated that I was such a big fan of Christian. I have no idea why, it was almost like he was jealous or something. The man had major insecurity issues. He once asked me if I ever thought about Christian while we were having sex. I said, 'Don't be stupid, of course I don't... it's Jericho that I think about when we're having sex.' He didn't think that was very funny. Just as well, since I wasn't actually joking!

Of course Cody's gay.

He wouldn't have a brother like Goldust and a polka-dot wearing dad without taking it up the arse a couple of times.
