Seen two posts now referencing Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin as the mystery partners, why on earth would people think it would be them?

Or have I missed something?

Chris Sabin taught at the performance centre back in July. So I guess people are reaching with that. 

They tried to make Seth look better than a crying baby after Raw. The attempt was obviously to make both men look strong with the Fiend getting back up a couple of times. But to me it’s made him look vulnerable. With the multiple curb stomps to beat Brock and Braun and to beat down Bray, you have to wonder how many it’ll take to keep the monster Rey Mysterio down next week.

Anyone got the backstory on Kishin Liger? Never seen this version.

I did not know that bananas and oranges were basically the matchmakers and celebrations of the fifties.

Xia Li/Aaliyah was hilariously bad

Aaliyah has been in NXT for what feels like 6 years and she didn’t seem to have a clue what she was doing during the match. 

 

It baffles me they still use Aliyah on tv. She’s awful and hasn’t improved at all. I still remember Regal giving her a bollocking on Breaking Ground. To think, they have Chelsea Green and Deonna Purrazzo who they aren’t using on tv at all, yet Aliyah gets used on most tapings.

I didn’t know Cena was a darts fan, because besides the random fans and British wrestlers, he’s also started following dart player and professional Peter Griffin lookalike Stephen Bunting. Hope he makes an appearance at Ally Pally.

Fucking hell, I watch NXT most weeks and I still don’t know who some of those are. Who the hell are the Outliers? Dio Madden? Who they fuck are they, if not an NFL themed Metal band?

Dio Madden used to go by his real name Brennan Williams. He’s been on Woods YouTube channel quite a bit and is now commentating on 205 live. The Outliers have something to do with Robbie E and that’s all I know. 

Some of these guys who have had shirts made have barely been on tv. I had to google Brendan Vink. I still don’t know who he is and I don’t think anyone has been crying out for some Vink merch lately.

Sean Bean. Wife beating, Sheffield United and all round cunt. Same in everything, ruins everything. I couldn't even watch Game of Thrones because he was in it. I just hate the guy.

Sean Bean. Woman beating Sheffield cunt. Oh I know, he was in Sharpe. Don’t care, man’s a cunt and he’s been the same in everything I’ve had the misfortune of seeing.

Cunt

Something you haven’t changed your mind on then. 

Diana - Was staying at my nan and grandads. Me and my sister got up early to watch cartoons and was annoyed it was all cancelled for the news. We just wanted to go home and watch the kids channels as my grandparents didn’t have sky. But we couldn’t get them away from the news.

9/11 - I was at school and my mum told me outside the gates that “some planes have hit a building in New York”. My best mates mum told him what happened, and upon hearing a loud bang earlier that day, said “I thought I heard something”. 

7/7 - Me and my dad were clearing out an old garage in Battersea. My sister, who’s become quite a hysterical person at this point, rang me and told me to get out of London as terrorists were killing everyone. 

22nd and 23rd July 2011 - Those two days were the Norway terrorist attacks and Amy Winehouses death. Me and my mates were at the war and peace festival which became overshadowed by these two events as it’s all anyone could talk about. War reenactments had a bit of an awkward feel to them on those last couple of days.

One that sticks out in my head was a very quite young mother to be who came into a pub I worked in (18 as she had a glass of wine! and I checked her ID). Her friend asked her what she was going to call the child and she responded by AJ. The friend then tried to clarify if A and J stood for something and the girl responded "Nah it just means AJ just the two letters". I know there's worse fucking names given to kids and we have our beloved AJ Styles but typically the letters mean something and with the voice she had I was struggling not to crack up 10 feet away at the bar. 

Chuck Taylor was talking about his family on his highspots show and mentioned his grandad is called JD. And it isn’t shortened for anything. It’s just JD. But that’s Kentucky for you.

I haven’t read it in years, but didn’t one of Jericho’s books suggest he has a massive problem with booze? 

I think it was the third book. He just spoke about drinking for the majority of it. It definitely came across as him trying to sound like a cool rock star who goes on the piss and still tours the world with wrestling and music and can keep up with the top of his game. But he just sounded tragic.

It was that book when I started wondering if he ever sees his family because it was like he was actively trying to find other things to do outside of wrestling and Fozzy to keep him away from home. 

They need to give Bayley some heel music now. Or just have Downstait cover her current theme. Have her come out and burst all those inflatable tube men. Kill everything associated to face Bayley.

Pre show at 12. It’s on itv4 too. Main show at 1.

Man, i'd forgotten about Amanda Holden in Kiss Me Kate, she used to enter my thoughts often as a young lad. I think I was obsessed with her for a short time. If I was 12 again now I doubt i'd even flinch at that as i'd probably only get off on hardcore latex double anal or whatever young lads search for these days.

For me, it was a certain scene of hers in The Grimleys. Then all I wanted at that time of my life was a teacher like Miss Titley.

Anyone seen Brassic on Sky? I love Joe Gilgun (who created and leads in it), but it's really disappointing. There's a huge Lock, Stock feel to it too, in some weird hybrid of that, Trainspotting, and Last of the Summer Wine. It's getting great reviews though, so maybe it's just me. It really feels like something from a different era, and not in a good way, playing really broad where people are throwing dildos at each other, but trying to balance it with serious bits where characters are crying. There's probably a Shane Meadows influence there, because that's right in his wheelhouse, and Gilgun obviously did the This is Englands.

I thought Brassic was alright, but you could see stuff coming a mile away. And they basically nicked something from Shameless in the finale. 

Anyone see the Mike Basset sitcom that came out a few years after the film? He was managing Wirral County in the show after being sacked from England. It was absolute shite as you can imagine.

Talking of Frank Skinner, Shane was a piece of unfunny shit.  Rumour is that ITV have got a second series that they just left in the cupboard.

I think the ending to that show was him cheating on his wife with the barmaid who left scratches all over his back and that was meant to be the punchline that some of the story had been building to. Instead it just came off as the character of Shane being a twat. It was a terrible show overall though.

Babes in the Woods with Sam Janus wasn't it? I think I turned off before the first advert break

No, that was Denise van Outen.

Just looked up Davina’s and it was a sitcom with Ed Byrne called Sams Game. And that’s all it’s wikipedia says about it.

Quote a line? From Birds of a Feather

I can give you a really random and obscure quote. During an episode of Never Mind the Buzzcocks from the Amstell era, he did a bonus round of bird noises for Bill Oddie. And one of them was a quote from Linda Robson’s character for joke - “That’s Daryls rum and raisin”. He played it twice and for some reason it got stuck in my head. And whenever someone mentions Birds of a Feather, I instantly think of that quote. 

I wish I could remember things that matter and not a line from an episode I’ve never actually seen. 

Another piss story, but I’ve pissed next to both Marty Scurll and Lord Gideon Grey in York Hall. 

Al Snow and german wrestler Bad Bones were in my local rock pub a couple years back one evening I was down there. It was when Al had opened up a wrestling school over here. Which I don’t believe was a success. 

I was having a fag down the side of the Clapham grand when Jack Evans asked me for a light. We spoke about football. 

I can’t remember if the story was posted on here before or twitter, but I love of the story of Tanahashi being spotted in a Toby Carvery by himself after one of the Rev pro shows in Reading. 

I think Jim gets wrestling more than the other two, so I could see more of a decline in progress. Still, at least the fans don’t have to put up with his awful standup and waffling before every show now. 

Plus Jimmy and Jey have used Uce in promos and call people Uce all the time on UpUpDownDown. Quite a few members of the roster called Reigns Uce in their tweets to him after he’s leukaemia announcement so I’m guessing that’s the new brother, brother.

I saw a right cringeworthy tweet from Smallman a while back. I don’t know how you embed tweets unfortunately but it was along the lines of;

”thanks to work, I get to stay in some very nice hotels now, but I’ve noticed recently the rooms always stink of marijuana. It can’t be me, as I’m straight-edge. Has anybody else found this?”

In case you wasn’t aware, Jim is employed by WWE now and is straight-edge.

Was it this one? A story as a good as one of his jokes. 

First Raw I’ve watched in months as I was curious how it would play out. Just a very boring show as usual besides the 24/7 stuff. I switched off after Impact Wrestling’s Rob Van Dam shows up in his gear to hang out outside the ring with his new best mates The Hurricane, Slaughter and Angle. Probably the easiest money he’s made for a bit of kush. Can see why they didn’t care about Rhyno showing up at Impact a couple of weeks back when still under contract. 

I know people on here don’t like Rollins and there’s some that have turned him. I used to be a big fan and have soured on him the past few months. And last nights Raw was the confirmation for me that I don’t care about him anymore, as that was one of the lamest fucking promos I’ve heard from the man. Calling Brock a Seth wannabe a couple of times with no crowd reaction, and just no reaction for him in general besides the burn it down shit. No wonder that Universal title is back on a real star. 

His ankle looks exactly like mine did when I tore my ligaments. And I could hardly walk for the first few weeks. But I don’t think Ibushi will let a little thing like that stop him from competing in the whole G1.   

Eddie Edwards on two as well. Doubt he’ll ever be wwe champ either. Always misremember that AJ won the pure title and not the ROH world title. He could’ve completed the set otherwise with the IWGP title.
