Ignorance and lack of self-awareness... standing in a public toilet in a shopping centre today, waiting for a cubicle. An old man shuffles in using two walking sticks, just as a cubicle opens up. A guy in his 20’s who was there when I go there pipes up “ I was here first” then just walks in. He looked about a 1/4 of the old guys age. Utter ignorance and lack of respect. 

When the next cubicle freed up, I let the old dude go. Notfor some personal gratification, but because it was the right thing to do. Some folk are just selfish pricks....

I pranked a commis chef with that a few years ago. He cried after his knackers glued to his thigh and he couldn’t peel his cock off them to pee 😂

Not at all. Would rather know there’s a health risk than use it blindly. 

I’ll maybe just just have to put up with galley balls for a while instead 😂

thanks for for letting me know

Seriously? Is it just J&J? Or is other talc dangerous too? I need something to keep my giblets from adhering to my thighs 😂

I’m a chef....despite the extractor fan being on and 2 doors being opened (fly screens in place of course), it’s been about 40 degrees this week in the kitchen.  Combined with my uniform of trousers, jacket, apron , hat and safety shoes for 9 hours....I must be keeping Johnson and Johnson in business with the amount of talc I’m going through......

My guess is they do the whole “ Cena in the crowd as a fan” schtick.....

Kid Rock comes out for his HOF wave-thing, and starts and impromptu gig...culminating with American Badass....cue a certain Deadman on a bike rolling down the aisle and answering Cena challenge there and then.....#MANIAMOMENT!!!! 

The Scottish version is the PVG ( Protection Vulnerable Groups) check. Both my wife and I have one as I’m a Footie coach and she is a team coordinator. We couldn’t get involved without the background checks, and obviously someone without previous doesn’t necessarily mean they aren’t capable of any wrongdoing, but it’s great that they take as many steps as possibly to ensure everyone involved is covered as far as possible. 

Wrestling, as it’s a contact sport that attracts a young audience, should definitely be subject to these same checks....but that would mean someone being accountable for it, and not Alex Shane and his bogus “ council”.....but an actual governing body. This would obviously mean checks on ring condition, proper training, insurance, paying taxes etc.....but it would hopefully go a long way to cleaning up the industry and clearing out the shitarses who set up a ring and throw under-trained kids around to feed their own egos......

That's great to hear @NorthSeaTiger, it's wonderful when something like that happens and reminds us what it was like when we got into wrestling.

Absolutely. And the boys now have permanent memories to keep. One happy dad right now 🤘🏻

Absolutely guys. As I said , it's a tiring slog for these guys so for the ones who's stopped to pose and sign, that's a big thing. If the heels were in character that's cool also. Ziggler came across as standoffish, which is fair enough. I don't know him personally so I don't know if that was gimmick or legit. But my boys are buzzing so that's all that matters. 

I wasn't surprised by Corbin as apart from his gimmick of Lone Wolf, from what I've seen and read he IS a bit of a miserable prick by all accounts. Was a bit surprised by Owens though tbh as listening to podcasts he always stresses how he was a big fan and marked out when meeting his idols. So I guess I thought he would be the same to HIS fans. He did say hello as he walked past but he may have wanted to stay in character. Plus it was late so I'm cool with that. It sure didn't spoil the experience for my kids. 

Yeah Tiger Rick, they were on their way to Barcelona after the show. There was only about 12 folk waiting to meet them and we were all behind the barrier so it wasn't like we were swarming them whilst they ate breakfast or took a piss. All were very friendly and appreciative that folk were there that late to meet them. 

Imagine how the kids felt after meeting these superstars? THAT'S what makes it worthwhile. 

Took my two boys into Aberdeen airport last night to meet the Smackdown crew. Couldn't get tickets for the show, so this was the next best thing. They got photos with Charlotte, Nattie, Becky Lynch, Lana, Big E, AJ Styles, Bobby Roode, Shinsuke Nakamura, James Ellesworth, Sami Zayn and Fandango as well as just about everyone else's autographs. New Day, Usos and Naomi all signed their trading cards for them. Jinder, Owens, Corbin and Carmella all just walked past. Carmella and Corbin especially walked like they were the shit....but those who did stop and sign/pose were really friendly and thanked everyone for waiting for them. 

My kids were high as kites when we left. 👍🏻😀

Just watching this week's show now. O'Reilly surpassed himself, with that weird monkey gyrations and his trying to be intense but looking confused look. And Cole is tiny. He was shorter than the ring announcer😂 I'm just not sold on any of them. Time will tell....

O'Reilly is shit. Nothin about him has any aura. Fish at least has coloured trunks and a moustache. And Cole is tiny. 

Ive never seen any of their Indy stuff, but I couldn't be more underwhelmed with any of them. Drew is a legit 6'5" and Cole will look tiny next to him. 

Are they as shit as their run so far suggests? 

Ive never been on board with Dream either but his segment with Black was fantastic. Black has such a presence with just his facial expressions. And his music is sublime. He is the total package for me. 

I just had a quick read about it, and there is a bit that says it " may produce unusual results in medical tests..." Could that be because it's amphetamine-based? And that would probably be on the banned list? If so, then the staff should be fully aware who is and isn't using this stuff as if it's for a genuine health issue and not just roids etc, then those superstars could get in serious shit for a condition which they cannot control.

Joey Styles has been sacked.

OH MY GAWD!!!!!

Two thoughts.. Watched Bret vs Owen from Mania X and Vince talked about his accomplishments..."2 time tag, 2 time IC Champion" etc...and they sounded like a massive deal. Nowadays when they rhymed off whose won what, to me it sounds meaningless...Cena is what,15 time champ? Orton is in double figures? In 11 years there's been those two plus Ziggler, Del Rio, Punk, Edge, Bryan, Trips, Rollins , Reigns and many more. Winning a belt now truly means fuck all IMO. They've been devalued so much.

and I'm currently watching Rock/ Mankind from Survivors 98....it really shows how sterile the format is these days. The same HD set, with a different graphic on screen. Only show they make an effort for is WM. This show with the Giant skull was cool, each show stood apart, if not for in-ring, then for the look of the entrance set.

Sorted now...had to use laptop and put all info in again, even though I did the same on my phone. Technology, eh?!

I'm trying to use my phone and IPad. Both are doing the same thing. It did it too in my PS4....I think it's related to my account details changing, but the money has come off my account for it so it's paid for. Christ knows what's going on. First time I've ever had an issue.

Had to change my card details at the weekend, and the first payment came off today. However I still can't get anything to load. I can see all the content, but when I click anything, specifically Payback, it says I need to be subscribed, then takes me to the login page, where I'm already logged in. If I come out then in again, fuck all happens. Any ideas? , I've emailed them but who knows how long it will be till I get an answer.

Has the booking system been changed since Pro Evo 15? We got that for our son as a change from FIFA, and we were sick of being booked or sent off for EVERY single sliding tackle we made. There just seemed to be no room for error, and whilst its more realistic that FIFA, its bloody frustrating. We will be back to FIFA this year methinks...

I can't link a pic, but she looks like Connie from the cartoon Brickleberry!!

Could be the PS3 then. It's about 4 years old and has taken a beating from the kids. I'll hopefully be getting a PS4 for the family for Xmas so I'll make do till then. Just wondered if anyone else was having trouble. Cheers.

Anyone had real problems with the PS3 app? It would load the main screen, let me pick something then freeze. Just that spinning loading sign. If have to reset the system every time. I decided to delete th app and re-install it, but my bloody PS3 won't even load the bastard store now. Network is fine on iPad and phone, but would be nice to watch it on a bigger screen and not burn out battery on iPad as well.

Did anyone else notice during Reigns promo that either he or Big Show mentioned the word "retire"? Could that be a hint at a stip for the future perhaps? Maybe after 20 years, the last of which been pretty poor, Show has decided to hang them up, and they will use this as away for Roman to get more heat. To say he retired the Giant..

AS for the rest, Neville really is extraordianary. Everything is so crisp, timed perfectly and looks spot on. That superkick spot was perfect, as was the 450 off the barrier. Hope he gets a win against a bigger name soon and doesnt keep coming up short...Imagine if it was him as the original Sin Cara! They would have had their big "hispanic" star they were after, even if he isn't actually Mexican....

Rollins was good again, his arrogant schtick is great, just wish Kane would bugger off for a while too.....

Good Point! Never thought of it that way before. Maybe it was just to get some buzz going. But then the crowd did pop for him so I guess it worked.

A lot of hate on here for him, but I'd rather he returned than guys like RVD. HE is the shits.
