What @wandshogun09 was referencing a few posts above.

Oh no my friend. He was back for about 2 months in late 98, he was still out of shape, still off his tits, but we got this entrance theme out of it.

Bloody hell, didn't know Freebird was back as I don't venture in here anymore. Death matches are not my thing, but like @wandshogun09 and his MMA pieces, I'm well into just reading about it. Really good write ups above.

Jamie Hayter is out for god knows how long. Out a few possibly according to Tony Khan and whoever. Just like Jay White, she seems absolutely snake bit for injuries.

I do, I know some on here can't abide his voice, but it makes good background sounds whilst I do stuff. His Off the Grid series is my favourite. This and OVP (who do the weekly canon watchalongs of WWF Superstars) are the only ones I can tolerate because they're not streamers reviewing current shit and overreacting.

Get Gangrel back in for a few appearances and give The Brood a shot at the Trios. Do it Tony, you coward! I think Copeland's AEW has been alright, and for him I think it's nice that he did make a career comeback and wanted to challenge himself a bit. The GRIT stuff and the I'M SRS bit of him is the worst though, hope he doesn't go for that again. With AEW, they're canny at booking at good retirement run so I honestly think it's a wait and see thing and it could be really good if they've already mapped out or planned where it could go.

What's happened to Drew Barrymore? I haven't seen much about her in ages. I'm not speaking out of turn when I say wasn't she quite cool and not weird like that clip.

Again, you watch the Make-A-Wish stuff he does and you absolutely love the bloke. Because it's there where he's obviously not this fucking bizarre robot. He's aware how important and looked up too by kids he is, and he's perfect with them. To treat this as just a thing you'd do and not be emotionally swept up in that, you would have to be a psychopath, or able to compartment that aspect of you and only bring it out when necessary, which feels very performative and not real. I'd like to think John Cena isn't that emotionaless and doesn't just treat it as "well this is what the character of John Cena in this situation would do" Then you see his media appearances and it's just so fucking bizarre that I sometimes think it's all bollocks and he's a horrid fucker.

And if Terry Gordy had never carked it, he'd be 65 today.

I know Nick Wayne has a way to go, but I loved his absurdly silly celebration. Exactly what a very talented but naive and cocky 21 year old would do. The big picture on the screen of his victory. I enjoy him, I know people struggle to take him seriously, but I'm not really affected by that with him. Unlike say Hook, he's actually going to keep getting better and better. He's gonna be the Sammy Guevera that Sammy Guevera wishes he could be (as in that smug prick faced heel, not having people smack him about). I laughed that one of his reasons for wanting Jericho to say sorry post on match on Saturday is "for saying I wasn't good looking". Ugh, forgive me for this one, I've genuinely not minded Jericho since he came back this year. It's nowhere near the omnipresent misery of him in 2023/24.

He did sound rather pepped and fun there. I'm guessing he's had either an oil change or a software update.

I want to add Muffy Mower. Probably the most forgotten WWF 2000 character that wasn't Mandy the Ho that wasn't Victoria. Muffy was Stephanie McMahon's personal trainer who made three appearances all in one week of TV in April 2000 and was then off TV. Rumour was always someone said why would Stephanie need a personal trainer, which if you ask me, a billionaire brat probably would. Maybe her then on-screen hubby thought why their wife (or THEM, definitely them) would be with someone who needed that. They're probably that thin skinned and weird. Ask Kurt. Anyway, Give it some Muff!

Given in wrestling and reality, Beefer always had a bit of an odd sense of dress, I'd absolutely punt that the look was all down to him both the above and that Furface outfit. Should always be noted this gimmick wasn't intended to last very long as the long held rumour with who the masked man was mostly interacting with, it would have been Beefcake unmasking at Wrestlemania VII after the Valentine/Earthquake match, but everyone got a bit nervy about the progress and risks of Beefcakes recovery, and probably rightly so.

Missy Hyatt filming 6 weeks worth of TV for WWF in 1987, but never appearing on camera. Her only appearance was an article in WWF Magazine. Also that weird fur monster costume Brutus Beefcake was fannying around in for about 3 or 4 run-ins.

Oh it was probably just the entire taping reel or something and they just went through it possibly. They'd have recorded a load of promo's on the tapings maybe
