Agree that the Argos range was pretty poor in comparison to the likes of Woolworths. The mecca for me was the Toys R Us in Warrington. They had a massive wall of Hasbros, it was awesome. Fuck knows how many hours my dad would have to wait for me to choose a figure.

Only ever had one WCW figure from that era, a Sting, it didnt move, I didnt care for it at all, it would get jobbed out constantly.

1992 was a good time to be 6.

You think everyone in this thread was shortordercook the way you're going on. I bet Bailey wouldn't even look at half of you greasy uggos twice.

I'd be glad if she didnt look at me once nevermind twice, she would probably turn you to stone with that grid.

Bayley's looks are fine for an underdog face.

Just dog face will do

 

Ric Flair is apparently off tonight's show due to a "personal conflict"

 

Reckon that means Charlotte's doing the J-O-B?

If she was facing anyone other than Bailey then possibly.

Speaking of Bailey, im sure shes a nice girl and that but has there ever been a more unattractive Diva in the past 15 years that wasnt suppose to look vile as a gimmick?

Robot Wars on Challenge, awesome.

I was in HMV the other day and noticed the 2015 WWE Annual on display. I found it odd that Shawn Michael's is prominently featured on the cover.

Just checked that out and it is strange hes on there.

Could it be that WWE doesnt feel that anyome else on the roster who isnt already on the cover isnt a big enough star?

Im no big fan of him but surely Sheamus could fill that spot or Wyatt? Even AJ.

HBK wasnt even at Mania 30 which is the theme for the annual.

Very strange.

I hold my hands up, I never say "right sort", I only said it to sound cool on here, I accept your otter meme ridicule.

Dont know if it has been posted already but there is a naked Melina (just tagues, snatch is hidden, boo!) pic doin the rounds, im shit at computers so if someone with the nouse to slap a NSFW tag on and upload it then great.

Always thought Melina was a right sort with that entrance.

Apparently it is another leak from the cloud hacking thing or as virgins are calling it, "The Fappening".

I think the Seth spot was planned but thats not taking anything away from how it was executed.

Enjoyed Jericho/Wyatt, Cena/Heyman but thought the rest wasnt awful but there was nothing there to stop me fast forwarding half of it.

This is a strange/sinister one...

Amir Khan posted a picture of a knife on Instagram with the text of "I wont kill him but i will watch him die".

Best wishes to Kell for a speedy recovery.

Some of those are not failed names though.

in tje test team

Hick was never a front line spinner but he should have done more bowling - he could easily have done as good a job as Carl Hooper did for years for the West Indies. Such won a couple of tests for England, which wasn't bad considering he only played about a dozen. His average was low 30s as well. Udal came back in his late thirties and won a test in India for us but otherwise barely played enough to be warranted a failure. Batty should be the next spinner England call on because he's in great form for Surrey and is precisely the type of spinner we need. Tredwell played one test! Plus he became extremely reliable in ODIs. As for Kerrigan, he bowled in one test innings!

Ok fair point with Hick but the other never played more than 20 tests because they couldnt nail a place down in the test team and therefore must be considered as failures.

Ive been watching Test cricket since the 1997 Ashes and in them 17 years we have arguably had only Swann and Giles (possibly Monty depending on the wicket) that could be considered a success.

Some of the failed names on here will take you back!

When it rems the last time Mark Henry cut a poor promo? He knocked it out of the park again last night. Whisper it quietly, but over the past couple of years he may have quietly been one of the very best promo guys in the entire industry.

Good point, what struck me about his promo tonight was his delivery, it reminded me of Marcellus Wallace in Pulp Fiction, which is only gona be badass.

Paul Heyman man, the guys wrestling sex, I need to get hold of his dvd as soon as.

Nikki Bella, Natalya ad AJ all have smackable facial skills, its a good job they all contribute in the tits and arse category.

The 3 Shield guys have really saved WWEs arse in the last year because at the start of the year if you would have said Raw would still be a good show without Punk, Cena and Bryan I wouldnt have BOlieved you, the 3 guys have really stepped up.

Throw my name into the hat of the Ambrose worshippers, the dudes top class.

Exactly! All they needed to do was play on the super heat Steph has given the fued in the past 2 weeks.

To have this randomer appear, start throwing affair accusations around and then get Brie arrested is ridiculously convoluted.

Good Raw, some solid matches, didnt like the attempt to recreate the Claire Lynch angle, blah, blah, blah...

Hogans seg was friggin epic! Mainly because we got the originals back in the Black n White, great to see Scott Hall back on Raw.

Cant wait for Cena Lesnar!

The Ashes next summer is going to be a huge test for Ali. If he can learn to control an end in the 1st innings and continue to mop up in the 2nd innings then hes gona be around for a long time.

What are we saying he is now? Batsmen who bowls or genuine all rounder?

I would still rather have Stokes than Jordan or Woakes. I think Jordan is a great one dayer but im not to sure in the longer format. Woakes doesnt do anything for me.

Then there is the Robson issue, the lads not good enough but who is going to open?

Heres my 11 for the first Ashes test.

Cook

Root

Ballance

Bell

Morgan

Ali

Buttler

Stokes

Broad

Finn

Anderson

No Ali?

No but it's very similar to the rest of England's top order, which is the point I'm making. 

Yes thats true but i think out of England top 6 he is the one with most ability to kick on, for example he will get to 50 in 100 balls bit the next 50 will take 70 odd balls,

KPs test strike rate was 61.72 so a 53.11 strike rate doesnt suggest he is the next Geoff Boycott.

He hasnt realy scratched the surface with his attacking game for England, during Englands 2nd innings when he came out and got quick runs is his natural game.

I do think England lack a destructive, expansive batsmen near the top order. 

Ballance will fill that role.

On the way home after a 2 hour trip to see just under 2 hours cricket.

 

It was definitely worth it, a convincing conclusion to England's first win in almost a year.

 

It'll be interesting to see how both teams look for the next test - India surely have to play Ashwin,and we could be without Anderson (who surely didn't deserve man of the match here)..

Fantastic win for England, to bowl India out twice with 3 bowlers (Anderson, Broad and Ali) is a great effort. It was a throwback to 2009-2012 were it seemed every England 1st innings was 450+.

Ali was the MOTM.

I remember talk a while back where Lawler had done an interview saying he had designed a mask for the Shango re-debut in 1997 but that got nixed for Kane.

Thinking back to Shango (who i was terrified of as a child) he debuted in early 92, had the (mistimed) run in in the main event at Mania and by SummerSlam, had the hyped Warrior angle and then he was a pure jobber.
