I'd like to think that maybe this company will be better after Vince McMahon is dead.

Nah, not with his idiot kids and his doofus son in law.

Some B+ player.

How our of place does Jinder look? 

I get the impression that Jinder would be Vince's pick.

I'm a little disappointed this King of The Ring it isn't a 16 man tournament.

What is a taker moan? 

Ask Michelle McCool.

When I first heard of The Owen Cup, I thought it sound like something a travelling indy promotion would do; bring in a trophy or cup and call it after the town you're in.

I'm sure I saw something like this at The Parks once.

I'd say I was a fan of Jericho (the wrestler) during his time in WWE but I kind of stopped being a fan after listening to him on his podcasts where he felt the need consistently interrupt the interviewee to offer his opinion and/or put in an ad break.

I mean, yeah it is his podcast but he should let the other person talk, otherwise what is the point in having guests.

I was tempted to get a ticket to the Fozzy gig in December to try and get his first book signed but then I'd have to listen to Fozzy.

We all knew the truth of this scene, but in black and white it just kills the illusion. Why Sly Why?

 

Is it an image from the Gawker trial to show the differences between Hulk Hogan and Terry Bollea, brother?

Cool. Thought I'd missed the announcement.

Have the brackets for 2021's King of The Ring and the first Queen's Crown Tournament been announced yet?

I know Taker has been revealed as a right wing "blue lives matter" bellend in recent years (and he might well hold anti-gay views) but I don't recall seeing anything he said publicly that would label him a "known gay basher"? Be interested to read it if he has said such things. 

Well, Taker did end one interview by saying "I liked when men were men".

I wonder if one of the options is to have Taker moan about the younger talent playing video games in the locker room and...you know...not with knifes.

What some people fail to understand is that for whatever reason, wrestling tends to have a wide fan base in those with various forms of  autism and other learning  learning difficulties. Many of these fans love attending live shows and conventions.  My point being is that it's quite easy to group all these people together as simply "weirdos" when they are just people who may not have the same kind of social skills that you've developed and are just enjoying a bit of escapism. 

 

Show a bit of kindness next time you're out there in the real world, not every wrestling fan has been blessed with the superior genes and social skills as those of us who use the UKFF.

While standing in the queue to meet Mick Foley at Tyne Theatre a few years ago, there was a young adult behind me (who was quite possibly autistic) and he said "you look like Ric Flair" which made me laugh as the only thing I had in common with The Nature Boy was the shoulder length dyed blonde hair I had at the time but he was alright and all I said back was "thank you".

They care more about the camera catching a shot of their face and getting their 'brand' over than actually watching and enjoying the wrestling show. They're just rich, attention seeking losers.

Not everyone's daddy can buy them a wrestling promotion, I guess.

Where does this bollocks come from and why is it always churned out? I’m the biggest dork you’ll ever find and I’ve been with mrs raid for 2 1/2 years.

I think it's just the nerd/geek/fan stereotype, Raid.

But then again, I've seen people live up to that stereotype at shows, signings and conventions.

It can't be worse than See No Evil 1 and 2...you know.

I blame Spaced for this but I can't watch the Caneston adverts without hearing in my head, Tim Bisley say..."hahaha thrush".

And I really liked Christian's 3rd Theme with the choir opening.

I’ll never forget the first time I bumped into a fan out in the wild. He was wearing a ‘Raw is War’ baseball cap so the obvious ice-breaker was asking him who his favourite wrestlers were and I’ll never forget his response;

“I’m a fan of Mark Calaway and Glenn Jacobs”

then after a brief pause and in a condescending tone;

”but YOU might know them as The Undertaker and Kane”

fucking cringe!

So… which of you lot was it?

Tazz's Theme made me believe The Human Suplex Machine was dangerous, Shinsuke Nakamura's Smackdown goosebump inducing debut made me an immediate fan of The Artist and Bobby Roode's Glorious is well, glorious. 

I just think it's strange that wrestling fans have the same kind of stigma that comic book fans have but at the same time, some of those fans can live up to the stereotype.

My interactions with other fans have been positive; the NXT house show I went to was fun, I found the fans I was sitting next to friendly and at the Mick Foley signing at Tyne Theatre where a fellow fan reckoned I looked like a young Ric Flair (the only thing I had in common with Ric was I had dyed blonde hair at the time) .

Yesterday, I walked past a fellow wrestling fan who was wearing a retro Shawn Michaels T-Shirt, briefly I did consider saying "hey man, nice shirt" but I decided against it and I just kept walking.

I think that is because we both knew who the better wrestler is...

Any stories of real life interactions with other wrestling fans?

Wow. Even for a tv match that was terrible.

Is The Queen a bad wrestler or is it that Nia is just truly awful in the ring?

Can i have the WCW title in 2000 just all encompasing? I think it changed hands over 20 times. 

Vacated six times, ten champions (including two non-wrestlers; Russo and Arquette) who traded the belt 18 times in the year 2000.

All totally fair. Im just trying to put myself in their boots. They definitely could of done better with the whole concept and execution.

To quote a certain Olympic gold medallist; Oh it's true, it's damn true.
