Maverick

Didn't know Tommy Cooper played the doctor. 

When I interviewed people for a newspaper they would often end up as my suggested facebook friends without me ever typing their name outside a word document. Spooky. 

I don't have a before pic or a sting mask and am still quite rotund. However, if its what the people want...

Iv'e lost over 5 stone since my first post in here through cycling and eating better. Was 19'7 down to around 14'7 at the minute. Well done Kook that's an amazing transformation.

Jericho is rumoured on the sheetz to be hosting the new Tough Enough. I think he would be really good in the role.

He seems to be getting everything Austin turns down/ can't do. 

Always found it mental how much Hogan's face changed when he got off the roids, like a different bloke.

I thought Saxton did well in character, he was supposed to be a deer caught in the headlines in storyline terms? 

 

Missed a big one which is that the NXT Takeover specials are going monthly.

 

Love NXT and won't say no to more original wrestling content on the Network but don't see this as a good thing. Surely the quality of these shows and the pacing of the storylines will only suffer from it.

 

I see your point but it makes more sense to follow the same model as they'll have when they get to the main roster. 

Glad to see they are investing in new programming but would rather see more WWE/Wrestling centric stuff like Legends House or more Roundtables. Austin must have turned down that interview offer if they had to get Jericho in.

Bret and Foley were supposedly big Meltzer sources.

Thanks Dart much appreciated. 

What time is Mania and the Hall of Fame (and red carpet thingy) starting our time? Had a look around but i'm useless with timezones.

Suprised Foley hasn't go in on the podcast game yet, especially if there is dabloons to be had.

The first book almost made me link him, it was excellent. He's never been one of my favorites and his moment has passed. I don't mind adding a little extra star power now and again though. The roster is so bland it needs it even if Jericho's patter if often rubbish.

Seemed like it, the Bisch is a fine musician. Sang his own WWE theme. 

I do. I think I was in chat, it was class. Bischoff is easily one of my favorite on screen wrestling characters. 

Straight from the Sean Connery school of husbandry. 

I think Deadwood's more of a period piece than a straight out Western, uses a few legendary figures but very few of the tropes. Regardless it is excellent, got better and better till it's untimely demise.

Just re-do the Wrestlerock rumble. I'll take Greg Gagne

If you search UKFF and whatever your looking for in google the results are usually pretty good.

Saw this posted on another site. Mental if true.

From the Jan 15th, 1996 Wrestling Observer Newsletter:
"It was reported a few weeks back on the Jim Shyman 900 line that Shawn Michaels inherited $2.5 million from a wrestling fan that he didn't know that just passed away. This is a true story. It happened a few months back and word just got out. Michaels had attempted to keep it quiet. At the Michaels press conference in Fresno, he was asked about this and got really mad and said "No comment" and said not to ever bring the subject up again. Michaels still wants to continue wrestling although he's probably moving into a bigger house."

I saw Carlito at an indy rocking the apple gimmick etc earlier this year. He had a cracking match with Masters. 

I quite like Marry Me. Love Ken Marino from the shows you've mentioned but he's more straight in this and Casey Wilson has an appeal. I like John Gemberling too from Broad City. Not wonderful by any means but an enjoyable enough way to waste twenty minutes. It'll almost certainly be cancelled soon due to awful ratings.

It always sounded like 'bad to the bone' to me

Homer at the Bat is my favorite ever Simpsons episode, what an episode! He also worked on Taxi and It's Garry Shandling's Show which I loved. RIP
