  1. We’re at the point at my work where there could be new starters who were born the year I started working there. Horrifying.
  2. Nigel was having a good time on this show. Floored by Mariah May paying him a bit of attention, and then confirming that Brian Cage is in fact Christian Cage’s cousin during the main event.
  3. Why was Dutch never part of Meat Madness? (Also, Archer and The Righteous taking the Trios titles and then smashing up other teams, please)
  4. People are definitely more accepting of wrestling just being another interest or thing on TV these days. I haven’t felt the need to hide the fact I’m going to watch AEW at Wembley, which I definitely would have in the past. And this weekend, my mother in law was asking what we thought of The Iron Claw. She went on to ask how they decide who the champion will be or what ‘success’ is based on in wrestling if it’s not just wins or losses like in sport-sport, and was actually interested in the answer. Again, no way that would have happened in the past. Besides, most people in this country have had at least one elderly relative who was super into WOS era wrestling, so they get it. They all get it, really.
  5. Do you remember which room? I was there recently and was told a few stories, be interesting to know if your experience happened in the same place as these ones were meant to.
  6. We've had threads like this before, but since I can't remember how long ago or what it was called, here's another one. This thread was inspired by the cold I currently have. It is causing me to sneeze quite a lot, quite loudly. While sneezing this morning, I realised that, when I sneeze standing up, my sneeze is accompanied by me slapping my leg with whichever hand is not covering my nose, to intensify the noise, in exactly the same way a wrestler will slap his leg when hitting a superkick, a big boot or a punch. This is the only explanation I can think of for why I might do this - it's not conscious - and I have no idea how long I've been doing it for, but I'm blaming the subversive influence of wrestling. There are other ways wrestling and its inspirations have crept into my everyday life, and all of them are silly. For instance, our shower is more an oval shape than a square or rectangle... so naturally the act of opening and closing it starts to resemble a pod in the Elimination Chamber. That's the sort of thing I'm looking for... how has your fandom of wrestling snuck into your day-to-day existence? The weirder and sillier the better. And if anyone else does the superkick-leg-slap when they sneeze, let me know it's not just me...
