    LEP: Danny Walsh (and sometimes Luke Phoenix)

    Foley defending WWE on the War Raiders name change is fucking hilarious. The man who cried to the point of getting his gimmick changed from "Mason The Mutilator" is giving it the "the name doesnt matter" shite. Silly old wanker.

    You just know if someone like Rhea Ripley was called up, and Vince changed her name to something that could potentially ruin her, he'd be straight on Facebook writing a long boring essay on how WWE made the wrong decision.

    And then possibly film one of his kids smashing up a cheap 22 inch TV he got from Tesco like he did when Daniel Bryan wasn't in a Rumble years ago.

    Has the Bros documentary been discussed on here yet? Fucking hell, its a belter.

    I've just finished it. Probably the most quotable music documentary since Some Kind Of Monster. 

    Don't want to spoil anything from the documentary, but it's seriously must watch.

  7. As much as like the bloke (Probably one of the only people on earth that do) , that video was like something straight out of a Granada Men & Motors cutting room floor. Really came across as out of touch there. 

    I still want to see him tackle Mario 64 though. Fuck all the memorabilia bollocks in his attic. 

  8. Watched this yesterday. The Allie/Su Yung thing was absolutely shit. It felt like I was watching a really bad student film. The LAX/OGs match had me shouting "WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU EVEN AGREE TO DO THIS MADNESS!?" when they bumped on wood and steel. Just bumping in a ring with nice foam is bad enough, but solid steel and (loose) wood? Absolute mentalists.

    Was gutted to find out Eli Drake's original opponent was supposed to be Joey Janela. He'd be a fucking awesome addition to the roster. Thank goodness it wasn't Low Ki as their original back up plan was.

    Regarding the main event, I really hope they're not going the worked shoot route here. Worked Shoots are fucking shit.  

    Other than that, really good show. It hasn't made me want to watch Impact on a regular basis, but I enjoyed it anyway.

  9. I had a thought about what the world would be like if 2Pac and Biggie were never "shot and killed". You just know they would have been on WWE TV at some point this decade. 

    I can imagine Biggie as a guest GM during that period where they had guest GMs. He would take part in comedy skits with Santino and Hornswoggle, then would book Chris Masters vs Chavo Guerrero or something. 

    I can also imagine 2Pac in front of a live crowd, saying "What's up, WWE Universe?" to a big pop, before taking part in an angle where he does a shit worked punch to Heath Slater. 

    We've been robbed of all of this... Or maybe they saw this as their future and faked their own deaths? 

  10. I'm not sure if League One and Jamaican international footballers count as celebrities, but I had Plymouth Argyle and Jamaican International Joel Grant join up the library I work at on Wednesday. 

    He goes to use one of our computers to print stuff out. Anyway one of my regulars who I usually talk Argyle with approaches me, unaware that Joel was sitting right behind me. 

    "See that Argyle lost again on Saturday, eh?" she says. Usually I would engage in conversation and say "Yeah load of old bollocks mate", but I'm in full Customer Service mode, and I'm motioning not to say anymore due to someone who played in that very game sitting right behind me. 

    "Are you going on Saturday?" she asks (They're playing Doncaster, which they'll probably lose again). I tell her no, as I'm busy that day. "I don't blame you. Load of old rubbish!" she responds as she bids me farewell. I'm feeling pretty awkward about everything. Hoping he didn't hear the whole conversation. 

    As Joel left an hour later, I wish him good luck for Saturday. He looked like he wanted to just tell me to" Fuck off". 

    Yeah, he's never coming back to my workplace again... 

  11. I was obsessed with Hell's Kitchen years ago when it aired on ITV2 (No idea if it still airs. Gave up on it after I realised pretty much every season was the same). 

    The opening intros were batshit nutty. Like this one.

     

    There were some characters on that show. Raj (who was seen on that intro) losing his nut a week in. You had Tenille, a gobby Whoppi Goldberg lookalike who started off really shit, then gradually improved as the weeks went on. Dave, who had the broken arm gimmick, even wearing it on the last episode of the next season he was on (and won). Creepy Russ who was possibly the most hated contestant of all time.

    But this was possibly the best thing from Hells Kitchen. Some bloke trying to give Ramsey lip, but Gordon is cool, composed, and makes this man look like an absolute tit.

    "I AIN'T NO BITCH!" Absolute madness.

  12. Grace used to live around my neck of the woods 10 years ago. She opened up an acting school or something to that extent. She was handing out flyers around the shopping centre. She wasn't interested in giving me a flyer though. Fucking bitch. 

    And that's my Grace story. 

    Also the people who I knew that met the woman pretty much hated her.

    Charley who I seem to recall being a bit of a nutjob.

    One of my favourite moments from that series was her devastation hearing the news that her "famous" Manchester United player cousin that she bragged about for weeks Kierain Richardson was transfered to Sunderland. "Who are they?! Are they a Premier League team?!"

  14. Verne Troyer crashing his scooter into the dirty room door was great. 

    This thread has definitely brought back some memories. I dipped in and out of the series from time to time, but just remembering watching that Fight Night live feed with the UKFF Chat regulars such as TDK, CTX, Mr. Stu etc. Great times. 

    I didn't bother with the Channel 5 series. They ruined it by bringing in some of the nations biggest cunts, adding crap house music, and putting names on the screen like it was some trashy worked shoot reality show like TOWIE. Saying that, the CBB series with Jim Davidson, Dappy, Lee Ryan and Luisa Zuissman was fucking great. 

    Watching the live launch for this series right now (don't mean to live post), and most of them seem like bell-ends who applied for Love Island and the casting thought "Nah, too cuntish". 

  15. I don't even watch the show, but groaned when I read they've done another Balor vs Corbin match, and yet another Revival vs B-Team match. I can't imagine what it felt like actually watching the thing. 

    Raw has pretty much turned into a Career Mode on a WWE game where your character would be wrestling Albert every week. 

  16. Kittie's Brackish is the personification of "fucking crap".

    This rubbish work browser can't embed YouTube videos, it seems

    It starts off with bland singing, then someone mad woman shouts out random gibberish. Just awful.


    EDIT: just remembered another two songs that make me violently ill. "Young At Heart" by Bluebells and "Mustang Sally" by some band I don't care to remember from a film I also don't care to remember. Fucking hell.
