Shannon Moore. I always hated his stupid fucking face. And I've just googled him again to see if I was being irrational. I wasn't, fuck him and his stupid fucking face.

I used to feel the same way about Lex Luger and Greg Valentine as a kid. I really couldn't stand them and it only dawned on me as I got older it was because of their punchable faces.

As for modern day wrestlers, I can't stand Tegan Nox for some unknown reason. She does nothing to offend me or annoy me but I just can't warm to her at all. I'm sure she's lovely in real life but she's proper fast forward material.

Whilst I applaud the protests, does anyone else feel uneasy about the timing of it due to Covid-19? Should making a political statement take precedence over public safety in the midst of a pandemic? 

Whilst the doing the whole point at the Mania sign is terribly cliche and old hat, it's great translating it to real life and doing it outside Greggs when you're up town with the missus and want a quick bite to eat.

Hell Comes To Frogtown starring Roddy Piper is a great slice of 80s B-Movie awesomeness. I mean just look at this trailer.

Ended up watching Mr Magoo for a friend's birthday back in 1997 as a 12yr old. I would have rather spent 90 minutes with Dennis Nilsen instead of watching this Lesley Nielsen car crash. Absolute dog shit.

The Mizdow storyline was good fun despite the piss poor pay off for it. I'm a sucker for a good midcard storyline and this one was of the better ones of the last decade.

About ten years ago when I was living in Coventry I overheard an angry mum ask her son who was playing up "what have I told you about that?" to which the child responded "bring on the wall!!" in the most excited tone possible. That really made me chuckle lol.

That kneecap brainbuster that Adam Cole uses looks pretty brutal. It seems like it could legitimately damage someone if he hit it wrong.

Miy Yim - speaks in palindrome

Such is the magnificence of this beer that I'm unable to post my opinions in the same post. I'm tempted to empty the shop out of these the next time I'm visiting.

I understand that, and sympathise with people isolated, but the simple fact of the matter is, is that it's not allowed. 

I'm not happy about the government guidance and don't think it's clear either but it's a clear breach.

Whilst you are right in a sense, a lot of people will view it as a case of "well the government say I can't do this, so why is this so bad?"

I've been of of those that have had to work as normal, been in contact with the general public to "keep the economy going" and for parts it's been non essential. So for me, I'm not gonna overly worry about having my daughter come round when she's been stuck at her mum's for the best part of two months. 

Cornette is beyond awful. Pure rent-a-gob who's a shard of glass away from being the main character in that Fifteen Million Merits episode of Black Mirror. I don't know how anyone can listen to him for more than five minutes unless they hate their ear drums and their own sanity.

Didn't take long for Asuka's "I'm so wacky" gimmick to go from somewhat entertaining to completely unwatchable.

Never in a million years did I think that I would type Asuka and unwatchable in the same sentence.

This feeling has slowly crept up on me last few weeks or so. Maybe it's the lack of audience that's highlighted this. She's strayed into that territory where you'd be embarrassed to be watching her on screen if a non wrestling fan was in the room.

I love the early 90s Norwich City vibe of it. Get Ian Culverhouse and Jeremy Goss on board and that should sort out this pesky virus in no time.

"Hello there friend, please shake me before you pop me in your gob-gob"

So how many times has this chat up line worked for you then?

Loving this at the moment 

That WWE roster is completely bloated so the usual spring clear out would have been justified and valid under normal circumstances. However, we are not in normal circumstances so these releases leave a nasty taste in the mouth and do nothing to dispel the idea that they are a heartless company.

Best: peaches

On their day they're unplayable but are far too inconsistent for me Clive. Sure they are good during those warmer summer months, but can they do it on a cold rainy night away at Stoke?

Best:

Bananas - versatile utility fruit. Always get the job done even if they can be injury prone and bruise easily.

Worst: 

Pears - just bleh. Like they're not even that bad, just boring. Like a born again Christian version of an apple.

Reading the opening post, yes or no?

Depends on the severity of the damage.

Wiping. Standing or sitting?

I spent a big portion of my childhood years growing up in America and I used to quite enjoy a spot of fishing in my youth. When I was about ten years old, I was fishing in a local lake and was excited to have caught something quite early on. I reeled in my catch without much of a struggle only to find out I hadn't snagged a fish  but a water moccasin instead. I absolutely shat myself, chucked the rod and ran as fast as my legs would take me.

Went to the local Tesco earlier where an old boy got himself worked about about them being having no Daily Mails left and got way to close to a member of staff. Some people are the worst. 

I didn't clap. But then I live alone in an apartment so I don't think clapping by myself really does much. I'll just make a donation to the local hospitals' charity instead.

Blimey, I don't remember half of these happening. Nuno Gomes! How did that happen.

We need some Mustapha Hadji at Coventry stories from @Keith Houchen

That was our first season in the Championship when we had him and Jordan Rhodes banging them in up front.

We had a weird thing of signing Portugese players at the time due to shady dealings regarding Steve Kean and agents. Kind of a shitty precursor to Wolves.

Tbf, Nuno was good in the half a season or so he played for us.
