Although i doubt there are too many people around here that grew up around the time The Original Sheik was in his prime, surely Sabu's mental Uncle deserves a mention?

Pretty much in character 24/7 for decades ( including to some of his own family! ) He is the only wrestler i am aware of that in the heat of the moment, would blade a fan if they got too close.

You're way too good looking to be a wrestling fan and you appear to have a girlfriend! 😮

There is an awful lot of talent in this photo and what i would guess a minimum of 150 years of in ring experience.

Sad news. I have collected wrestling magazines for donkeys years (i reckon i might have 5,000) including every single issue of Superstars of Wrestling/Powerslam/FSM and this really does feel like the end of an era.

What i love about magazines is that they will never become obsolete in the sense that no matter what direction technology takes, people will always be able to read. So i will continue to cherish my magazines (some of the American magazines from the mid-1970's to the early 1980's are of the highest quality, like Wrestling News & Ringsport Wrestling).

I wonder if any UKFFer's out there think that the end of wrestling publications will in time increase the value of wrestling magazines or will they just depreciate and become an unwanted thing of the past?

I lost my hair at 25. No chance when all the men on my mum's side were bald. Definitely a freeing experience when you accept it and shave it all off. Plus we're lucky to be living in an era now when it's acceptable for men to shave their heads. When I was a kid, it was still the preserve of skinheads/neo-Nazis/bovva boys, and the "respectable" thing to do was either grow the "wreath" around the head and look old, grow a combover and look awful, or wear a wig and risk ridicule. Basically be mocked for being bald, and be mocked for trying to do one of the only acceptable things about it. 

True words.

It's hard to put into words how scary skinheads of the 1960's/70's actually were! Totally up for random acts of violence 24/7. Growing up in the 1970's i would actually cross the road to avoid an approaching skinhead even though i was no threat to them, nor was i what you could call an "ethnic target". I can't begin to imagine how bad it must have been to be a Pakistani or maybe a rival football fan if you were in the wrong place at the wrong time?

Then you had Benny Hill who continually slapped the head of an old bloke as part of his "comedy" sketches.

Thankfully as a member of the "Follically Challenged Brotherhood" in 2019, it rarely ever gets a mention & if it is brought up, it is nearly always just a bit of light hearted leg pulling.

Zack Ryder has stolen a living for years and years.

The story they've been telling in their online shows is that MJF is sucking up to Cody and pretending to be friends with him while in reality he hates him and talks trash about him behind his back. So, based on that it made perfect sense for MJF to be out there and to be showing (over-the-top fake) concern over Cody. Obviously, this is all leading to Cody eventually figuring out the truth and feuding with MJF.

Thanks for the info, i was unaware of the storyline.

MJF is my favourite character, his delivery and facials really get over what a prick he is.

For a long time now i have felt that wrestling has moved away from "good guys v bad guys" and been more about "cool mooooovez". 

So tonight we have MJF cutting a great heel promo, only to return to the ring shortly afterwards with a look of genuine concern for the caved in head of Cody Rhodes???? 

I can only assume this was an attempt to bring forward Jim Cornette's impending aneurysm?

The show had a few good bits in it and an awful lot of rubbish. I did not really enjoy it very much at all 😐

Johnson saying that his hobby is "making model buses" is the move of a cunt. Calculated media manipulation disguised as a faux-quirky, striving-to-be-endearing personality trait.

If you Google "Boris Johnson Bus", the entire first page of results at least are now about this favourite hobby he'd never mentioned before. What do you think the results would have been if you searched for that a week ago, before this "hobby" came to light? 

Cunt.

For me this is a perfect example of when you think someone is trying to catch you out with a leading question or "Ask a stupid question and get a stupid answer".

I would have answered in the same way, if i did not like the person asking the question or thought he was setting me up for a fail.

*Boris is a Tory Cunt. But if you say he is stupid, you are falling for his bullshit and making yourself sound stupid. He is a very clever cunt!*

So anyone who fancies seeing Vasyl Lomachenko fight in the flesh, O2 arena 31st of August against Luke Campbell. Can't imagine it will last long. 

Yeah i am fearful that Campbell is gonna get his head knocked off 😨

When i was doing my apprenticeship way back in the mid-1980's there was a painted pipe in the gents with the sentence "Mike is a..." scratched on it.

Because it was the only bit of graffiti in the toilet, it got mentioned from time to time. It was only a small company and we only ever had one guy working there called Mike and he was a truly awful individual, who seemed to revel in his role as "heel manager" making everyone's life difficult. He had REALLY fat fingers and was related to a mate of mine, so we nicknamed him "Uncle Sausage Fingers".

The speculation was always "How would the sentence have ended if presumably the artist had not been interrupted by Uncle Sausage Fingers?

 We narrowed it down to "Mike is a cunt/bastard" because he certainly was and there was little room on the pipe for more than one more word!

No disrespect was meant, I just only ever saw him wrestling once or twice sadly. It's the case with a lot of well known Scottish names that I never got to shows they were on and fell out the scene before on demand on online services opened up the opportunity.

But within those small number of shows something happened which thinking about now still makes me smile. I don't think I'm being a prick in saying that's a wonderful thing.

 

Like i said, i would have left out the first sentence.

  Anyhow, i apologise if you took offence, it was just a case of pointing out what i thought was a slightly inappropriate comment in a cryptic kind of way.

Would you care to share your experience of Lionheart making you smile? It would get us back on topic if you had a nice story to share.

Don't be a prick, he's put something positive in there about Lionheart. He hasn't gone Lance Storm by any stretch.

Personally i would have left the first sentence out. Not sure how that makes me a prick?

On a more positive note. I had the pleasure of seeing him wrestle many times, including a barn burner of a match at 1PW against Davey Richards. We met briefly in the bar afterwards and i congratulated him on the quality of the match.

RIP Lionheart, one hell of a talent.

36 is no age. 

I can't say I was a fan, but he was responsible for a moment which was the most I've ever laughed and smiled at a wrestling show, thinking about it still makes me smile now. 

Are you Lance Storm?

The Road Warriors were always a bit shit.

He did coke every half hour for about 8 years straight in the 90s. I'd say he's got it coming whether he loses weight or not.

Do you reckon he could see January 2020? I can feel a bet coming on.

I was shocked by how fat Heyman has become.

He needs to lose some timber or face health issues in the near future.

I still turned a profit! 

I am claiming victory on my prediction. The show on paper should have at least been "passable", but was indeed "shit". 

The only match that floated my boat was Balor v Andrade.

How about just for today we all just pretend to be wrestling fans and enjoy the moment for what it is.  It's bloody Goldberg Vs Undertaker and it's going to be tremendous!

I am a wrestling fan and fully intend to enjoy the match.

I do think it is a shame that all the hype is mainly surrounding this match. Why can't any of the current roster create this kind interest and thus take The Undertakers/Goldberg's spot and force them into permanent retirement?

And on a similar note! Why can Ric Flair come out of hospital and start cutting promos with the same passion and conviction that is lacking in today's WWE? Just why?

Anyway Goldberg/Taker should be good. 

"Good" as in interesting or "Good" as in a good match?

I am interested in it, but can't see it being a decent match. If they keep in short and use smoke screens/bells and whistles it could be fun.

1, The Eurovision Song Contest.

2, Visiting family you do not like (especially when you can't escape until other people have had enough).

3, Comic Relief.

4, The new Football season, when your club has very bad owners.

I would be surprised if the "WWE Saudi Shitshow" did not live up to it's name.
