    Dont be stupid they have fans with cans of coke. No more precautions needed 

    Don't be so stupid. That's part of one of the boys wages the can of coke and a hotdog.

    So in the latest update to this story, the bloke who stalker Sonya will not be standing trial as he's been deemed medically incompetent.

    Some reports suggest institutionalised for five years. The severity of what he did though medically incompetent I would have thought ten years minimum. There is no real closure with that sort of outcome.

    A five reichsmark note has just been stapled to Hitler's forehead.

    It was probably someone from here but I vivdly rememeber someone coming up to me at one of the Skydome shows asking why the fuck I was wearing a New Jack shirt, I wish I still had it.

    Somewhere Harold Shipman is hiding in a cupboard incase he's mistaken for Gypsy Joe.

  4. Somewhere the devil is trying to prepare himself. Jack ain't going to heaven. I'm sure Jack will have the devil sorting him out downstairs with lots of drugs and women. 

  5. Literally in pieces right now. 

    He was one of my all time favourite people in wrestling. The absolute intense and crazy promos he cut to the death defying dives to the extreme hardcore action in the ring there was no one quite like him. A polarising individual who in later years brought out the best shoot interviews in all of professional wrestling.

    RIP Jack.

  6. I really am so upset and frustrated with the business about this and looking like not much of a care has happened.

     

    It's almost like the promotions look at and see someone so talented with a bright future. They have been identified as a future big name in the industry. Already a lot of hard work and effort has gone in to invest in this individual time in training, outfit, character development, graphic work, gym time including supplements (at good financial cost).

     

    Let's brush it under the carpet that they were an abuser and that they have mentally damaged the victims. Let's not give the victims closure and not have the guilty parties held to account. 

    There is zero accountability and there is no precedent set that someone loses that privilege of being a public figure and no longer has part of any events anywhere. They lose everything that comes from it. The name value the celebrity status. The money earned. They lose it all.

    It would take us too long to spend that time and effort plus more money to invest in someone else who is totally innocent and not been involved in such acts.

    The wrestling business sucks. Morally bankrupt business. 

  7. Eva Marie coming back has put a sour taste in my mouth. WWE and more importantly Vince McMahon have an obsession with having to put mainstream public figures on their televised events in order to garner the same mainstream acceptance as other entertainment brands. She's a fitness model who brings to the table mainstream outside interest. This outside interest of the people who follow her may only watch the part of the Raw broadcast she is on but if it moves the needle on ratings and YouTube video views it does the mission of what WWE wants. Mainstream people and mainstream viewership. They don't give a jot about hard working talents in the likes of Mickie James or us hardcore fans. It's all about chasing that mainstream demographic for WWE these days.

  8. It's been a rough week for me so just catching up with all of the fall out of Blood And Guts. 

    My take on the whole Jericho situation and the finish controversy surrounding it was that how it was shot and how the finish itself was executed could have been so much better done. 

    I remember Tony Khan getting giddy with excitement on Twitter about how he was so clever with ripping up carpet and putting it at ringside having a pop at WWE for Wrestlemania weather and slips. 

    Now they could have set up that crash area so completely different. The set up of it. The components going into the crash. You could have had multiple stacked up tables which would have slowed down and lessened an impact on the floor. About 10 tables high would probably have been enough. General fag packet maths and physics.

    You could have had a movie props company have soft sponge like  material made to look like big rolls of lightning, and electrical cabling for the TV production stacked up in a corner of the ringside area. Jericho could fall onto that and it not look like a crash mat but soft enough to absorb impact without any injuries. 

    Tony and his dad aren't skint. 

  9. The sheer arrogance of the Scot Tories is incredible. Pretty much setting the tone that the Scottish Government is a subordinate legislature to Westminster as Scotland within the UK should not have competence within the Scottish Government for Scotland to legislate a referendum bill on Scottish independence if Boris Johnson says no to a Section 30 order. If it was to go to The Supreme Court the EU and the rest of the world will be watching as well as the UN taking an interest. 

    The flag shaggers are already circling.

    It’s the Evolve/Progress/ICW thing again. ‘You give up your talent, restrict your creative and production, work around our schedule. We’ll send you Trent Seven for a surprise appearance’.

    Yeah that's why to me these deals don't give me the sense of it being a partnership in the sense of how I as a wrestling fan would expect it to be. 

    Its more that WWE will give some sort of payment to a smaller promotion to be a developmental territory. 

    MLW isn't going to be getting its logo on Raw or MLW having matches on a Smackdown broadcast. 

    MLW isn't getting Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman at an MLW event.

    I prefer how things are going with AEW and Impact Wrestling as it feels like a partnership where talent are being shared and cross promoted. It feels like a proper partnership of the sense of making your partner promotions feel equal in standing in terms of size, reach, star power. 

    WWE will never have another promotion feel in equal standing to them so these partnerships are more how can I rephrase them developmental deals than partnerships. 

  11. Reading the past comments is that for wrestling it's in a unique situation where on one hand it is the job for the talent to be in character and in instances we are expected to believe that who you see on screen is them and there is no stage name and the personality you see on screen is how they live their life day by day in private at home. On the other hand if they are a heel but in real life said talent is then in politics or does something for a childrens charity newspapers and press may report the talents actual real name who plays current WWE star "insert name here"

     

  12. I'm kind of not sure about stepping away from being a fan these days. 

    A lot of my love and passion around wrestling was the not knowing how everything works. 

    The internet kind of ruined that for me. Now with more and more being exposed it kind of nearly kills it for me to enjoy and suspend my disbelief. 

     

    I have a list of pet hates just now:

    #1 The internet making people conscious of the fact that a wrestling match for WWE is produced by a producer. 

    #2 Talent putting their actual real life name on their Twitter in acknowledgement the wrestler is in a sense a TV character in a TV show. 

    #3 Storylines now becoming that the "real life" people who work and perform together may not get along so we see if what is going on in the ring is part of the performance of two professionals performing or will there be a bit of stiffness as talent A has had some real life backstage heated disagreement with talent B.

    #4 Having to admit constantly it's a performance or that someone was doing something in character then having to apologise on social media as the person who plays the role of said talent. It destroys heel heat and changes the demographic of how a heel works. It seems the business is fearful of talent getting heat by directly attacking fans rather than the heat being generated by the talent gaining heat from the actions acted our on screen from one and other the heel towards the baby-face. Perhaps this is a good thing and an evolutionary thing of the business. Sponsors and TV executives don't want a talent to shout aggressively directly directly at a fan at an event then find out that person is in a marginalised group and it gives off a bad look for the promotion. So any heat a heel has with an interaction with a fan now needs to be a plant who is in on the performance and they know isn't a marginalised group and won't complain on Twitter or other social media platforms. 

     

     

  13. Flatliner comes across as one of those blokes who sits in Wetherspoons on a Monday morning having a full breakfast with a pint of Doombar ale then fucks off to the bookies then comes back to sit for the rest of the day drinking more pints of Doombar. The rest of the crew of dregs of society come in and they sit together in their groups. Conversation usually starts with I'm not racist but.... kind of thick cunt mentality.  

  14. Feeling sorry for Nikki Cross. She got new gear made and posted to Twitter to watch Raw. She stood on stage at Wrestlemania crying but never was on the actual mania card. She's a great hand. What a worker. Nice girl. Remember talking to her in the street in Glasgow. She very down to earth.
