that looks great! BTs doc on The Crazy Gang a few years ago was really good too.
Yep that was a egg. There's also Rocky & Wrighty, Don't take me home about Wales, Ironman about Sean Fallon, one about football academies are all really good too. Just as good as some of the ESPN 30 for 30 docs in some cases.

Same here
Also the Gazzetta was about Gazza AC Milan were like everyone's second favourite team too. Used to watch Gazzetta Football Italia regularly and the matches when they were on channel 4 so its one I'm looking forward to also.

I must have misremembered, thanks for clearing it up Wand.

Chuck retired a little too late when he got KOd In his last three fights. Back in the day The Iceman was a great fighter and his feud with Tito from friends to enemies was classic. I think like many longtime MMA fans but I'd watch another fight between the two but they should stay retired. Titos last fight with Chael had a questionable finish but I do think he retired at the time to protect his long term health.
Maybe fighters over say late 30s should do grappling tournaments to reduce the risk of head trauma. Chuck already has that glazed look in his eyes similar to what Kurt Angle, Daniel Bryan etc have which is indicative of brain injury/CTE. Chuck is a legendary HOF fighter and has nothing left to prove. Would Dana allow a Liddell v Ortiz fight, no way, because no athletic commission would clear them to fight. I mean it was a classic great feud but they have had their day. Maybe mentor younger fighters and have a Team Ortiz v Team Liddell type feud instead. Then they are making a name for younger fighters.

Not sure if it was ever posted but we've lost one of the Oz family. The actress Kristin Rohde who played the guard Claire Howell passed away due to Cancer in December 2016.

I'd be up for it, maybe like one episode a week so it's easy to for everyone to follow along. Some episodes are up on daily motion too so then more people can get involved if they dont have the DVDs, Amazon Prime etc.

Incredibly stupid with the #MeToo Movement in full swing they choose to honour Moolah. WWEs rose tinted revisionist history has backfired and it's their own fault.

I agree fully, but it’s even more baffling when they use such a figure who is unfortunately associated with being absolutely horrific towards young women/pimping/financial and racial abuse etc, as the face of an award linked to the apparent evolution of women.
Exactly she's the complete anti-thesis to womens empowerment. http://www.free-times.com/archives/baby-of-sweet-georgia-brown/article_e82fe915-fb49-5d12-8848-42750f5dc785.html
That's just one known example,apparently there's a ton of disgusting stuff she was either directly or indirectly involved in.

Thats true, but Kurt somehow got cleared for the Survivor Series?. It's not nice to see him in that state where he can barely string two sentences together. It looked like he was trying to remember his lines at EC as he was muttering to himself. Considering the head trauma Mick Foley has suffered he's still surprisingly articulate to a degree, he also stumbled over his words. So very good point about the overly scripted promos.
Ideally you need a GM who is believable as an authority figure, who's a great talker and can put storylines and characters over. Maybe somebody like EC3 who can mix it up in the ring too. It's unfair on Kurt to still be in that position because it's taking a toll on him. I didn't notice the shaking but its most likely nerves but I wouldnt rule out a tremor.

Death Row Chronicles is coming to BETInternational on Wed 14th March, BETs on Sky and Virgin, Freesat too if I'm correct.
Ken Burns The War coming up tomorrow on PBSAmerica. This covers WW2 and it's also currently on Netflix.
-
They ideally need to phase Kurt out as Raw GM because he seems to just be a shell of his former self. He doesnt look well either, he could be messing up promos because they are overly scripted or he's forgetting them. I do expect them to go Stephanie/Hunter vs Ronda/Kurt for Mania. Isn't Kurt heavily rumoured to have CTE, if so, no Dr should clear him to wrestle.

A demo was released on PSN for Yakuza 6 this morning which is apparently 8 hours long!
Edit: The demo has now been taken down as there was a glitch that would turn it into the full game.
I now have a free copy of Yakuza 6, cheers Sega!
I saw that, thought only the US PS Store had the glitch.

Liev does the narration for quite a lot of the NFL film documentaries too.
Eight Days a Week is a really good doc. The Anthology series of docs is the one which is the most detailed though. There's also the unofficial docs about the individual albums, a PBS one to name but a few.

Yep you can see how broken up he is about Freddie's passing which is understandable since it was his friend. Incredibly sad song.
Too Much Love was originally written by Brian about the breakup of his first marriage. However as he performed it at the Freddie tribute concert its assumed it was written for Fred. However since Brian's version was recorded after Freddie passed its very likely the song was now much more about Freddie Mercury.
Queen originally recorded the song back in '88 but it didn't make The Miracle. It was eventually included on Made in Heaven and I think it's arguably one of Freddie Mercurys best vocal performances.
Heres the Queen version

I accidentally stood on the inside of my Hasbro ring and put a big crack in it, so my Hasbro promotion had to work around a ring that I can't afford to get fixed as it was the mid-90s dark times. Every now & again, someone would trip on the crack, allowing the heel to take advantage. ECW later stole this idea when they had the main event of Living Dangerously 98 work a match with a hole in one of the corners
Could have booked my Macho figure, he'd have gladly accepted the booking. Plus its a built in storyline, he hit the flying elbow with such force he broke the ring. Put the big red X up on the screen when his arm broke off.

Mine is about the "Bionic Man" Randy Savage. Why was he bionic?, well he was somehow broken and had a screw in his arm (which was the one which had the elbow drop mechanism). Not a small screw, or a superglued back on arm, but a huge, gigantic screw which of course meant he couldn't do the elbow special move now. I think he was quickly fizzled out of my Hasbro promotion when he was previously a top guy. At least with a super-glued arm you could have had the angle where it falls off during a match you had a built in blood feud. "Andre you broke my arm (off)!!!!", or it could have been eaten by Damien, Ricky Steamboat getting revenge for having his larynx crushed by breaking off Macho's arm, DiBiase could have stole it and tried to sell it back to him...a world of possibilities. But no, Randy was relegated to being on the sidelines and occasionally involved in Royal Rumbles/Battle Royales.

I'm assuming they'll be up after Raw, so maybe early morning Tuesday in the UK.

Bellator on Saturday which will be the Larkin/Gonzalez card. They should have had the Heavyweight GP on a one or two night PPV card.

Vince was being accused of sexual assault back in 2006 when he was in Miami.
Also the Gazzetta was about Gazza 
AC Milan were like everyone's second favourite team too. Used to watch Gazzetta Football Italia regularly and the matches when they were on channel 4 so its one I'm looking forward to also.
Vince McMahon forms and funds Alpha Entertainment: Possible XFL Revival
in UK Fan Forum

With CBS on board for the Ebersol Jr football league, Fox with the NFL, it surely closes a lot of doors for Vince. He ideally needs a major network to pick up the XFL. ABC I doubt would want it, NBC is a outside possibility but they got burnt before, CW could be likely but I have a feeling they'll be broadcasting games via the WWE Network. Shouldn't Vince call it quits now and say it was an early April fools day joke.
