Just Some Guy

I thought somebody else might have mentioned the passing of Sylvain Sylvain from the New York Dolls last week. Personality Crisis is my favourite drunk singalong song.

If anyone is interested there is a Kickstarter launching in March for a 10 part graphic novel called Butts in seats which will tell the story of Tony Schiavone's career.

It's just wonderful that one of British wrestling's elder statesmen should have such a final flourish to his career.

I was amazed to find out that during my lapsed fandom a 68 year old Johnny Saint wrestled a couple of matches for Chickara.

I now believe in the conspiracy theory that someone is sticking Rick Rude's cock into every UKFF thread.

@FelatioLipsPolish mate saw some of them.

Ah, gotcha! Thanks. So the people with the Blue Lives matter banners are fighting with the police. Perfect sense now. You couldn't make it up!

Sorry to be dense but what does "Blue Lives" refer to here? [Insert Smurf/Avatar joke] Republicans have the party colour red, most of them are white.....I just don't get it.

Kevin Owen's and The Fiend are alone in the ring as the buzzer goes and the next entrant is....Buckeroo! The classic MB game is set up by The Fiend whilst Owen's reads the rules. The Fiend triggers Roo by heavy handed placement of the cowboy hat, but Roo's rear hooves catch Owens above the eyebrow sending him over the top. My other picks are Twister brought to the womens Rumble by Matt Riddle and Secret Hitler managed in the Rumble jointly by VKM & Donald Trump.

I'm all for a UKFF meet up but can we go for a pint instead?

Last minute bid by me for Dolt of the year but didn't Ted used to be a handy face in his younger years? How about he starts using his vast wealth in an altruistic manner. Video packages of Ted throwing a party for disadvantaged kids. Put him up against Perfect. Use him to get a decent match out of Warlord. He could tag with Tito Santana to save him from the awful Matador gimmick.

I've been wondering about "power creep" in wrestling for a while now. Wrestlers seem to me at least to need more and more extreme "drop you on your head" finishers. Unless I'm misremembering my youth watching World of Sport, most of the pins came from technique rather than unconsciousness.

Is that the same Erik Larson who writes The Savage Dragon comic? To be fair the Nazi's were able to pull the wool over the eyes of many. I read about a visit by a 1930s human rights organisation to a concentration camp. All the sick were whipped out to a death camp in the week before and those left forced to clean it up. Tah-dah, a lovely spacious place for the Jews to stay. Fucking sickening!

Just found out. Just speechless. Like @DEF said, I assumed he had suffered an injury of some sort. So sad to be taken from his family at such a young age at this time of year. I only know him from his AEW work and have to say what a wonderful storyteller he was. He conveyed every aspect of what was happening beautifully either by vocal inflection or a look. RIP big fellah

Merry Christmas one and all. I hope you all get a super rare Hasbro in your stockings.
