A friend of mine knows Barney through work, and apparently he’s the loveliest, kindest man in the world, basically a puppy mixed with an unusually helpful teenager.

I was gutted, I was hoping he’d be a right cunt and now I feel bad that he’s so shit at his job.

I can see the logic in Quake as an Austin opponent, like Pat says, he was surprisingly young, was a bigger deal in WWF than WCW, struck me as safe to work with.

Boss Man had not long come back in a similar role, which I reckon would have seemed mental if it hadn’t happened and someone brought it up now.

Fuck me, I think we have one of the ‘facts don’t care about your feelings’ lot!

Look, your argument was that you thought that Havoc had just ‘been a cunt’ rather than a rapist and that being glad he was fired was virtue signalling.

No way did you not realise that he’d ‘been a cunt’ to women and what that implies otherwise exactly what virtue do you think was being signalled?

So, you’ve subtly tried to change the subject like the worst sort of twitter prick, even though virtue signalling is specifically a term used by the right to denigrate the left. I mean, it has no meaning the other way.

So, instead of arguing in bad faith, why don’t you do something about your problems with women?

Then fuck off.

Then come back with Jimmy Havoc.

Then both fuck off again.

Because people who accuse others of virtue signalling are almost exclusively right wing and exclusively twats.

If anyone channel flipping happened to come across that, they are changing the channel asap. Awful. 

Good, fuck ‘em.

There are no casual fans of anything anymore, there is content everywhere and everything is segmented.

Stop hankering back to some mythical time wrestling was cool and enjoy a thing without longing for a day when you’ll see Road Dogg American football tops around town again.

If there is a way to draw the mainstream in (There isn’t) then you know who isn’t going to figure it out? Niche weirdos like us. We don’t know what they think.

They won’t like it anyway and I don’t see why that should have any impact on whether I do.

I’d have Kingston and Moxley start the show in the ring and then blow the fucker up properly and then spend the next 2 hours letting the smoke clear.

As the show ends, the smoke clears and Sid is stood among the wreckage.

He fist bumps the wreckage.

Nobody complains.

I’m not 100% on this but wasn’t the Boy George thing the last (or close to) time Kanyon appeared on WWE TV before he was let go?

If so, comes out as gay, dressed as Boy George, purposely concussed and then sacked is a fucking terrible look for the company and, let’s face it, The Undertaker too.

I believe it’s universally accepted that nobody could have played or made the Undertaker work as MC did.

Not one reply so far has changed my opinion that this is just a bunch of pissed of gamers offended by the truth.

How the fuck can we know if anyone could’ve?

if your child gets you a ‘Best Dad in the World’ mug you have to accept that they have a limited frame of reference.

And I’m not into games, I just think he’s a silly old cunt who I’ve never enjoyed.

Yeah, the idea that the plethora of legitimately trained MMA fighters and such knocking around these days would get their head kicked in by the fucking Honky Tonk Man or something is laughable.

If they’re such hard men why the fuck do they need a knife or a gun in a locker room? 
 

I think the main problem I have with him is all the wrestlers court shite. Grow up you daft zombie bully twat.

A Christian and Matt Hardy team, if a long term thing would’ve been on of the best teams to have ever existed, two creative people who can really go and have a track record for mostly getting stuff over? Yeah, I’d have been up for that.

A Jeff Hardy and Edge team just sounds fucking weird.

Whether you rate him or not, the idea that there’s nothing about RVD that stands out is an opinion I can’t understand at all.

I agree that by that time his main event push had been left too long but, as a wrestler, he is, if nothing else, not generic.

It’s weird to think but, even in ring, Gallows probably peaked as Festus didn’t he?

The Abraham Washington Show? Yeah sure Abe you smutty cunt.

Not Page?

Dustin Rhodes.

If there’s a torture porn element to that match, I reckon that’ll be Moxley’s doing rather than Kingston, who has done that sort of stuff but is primarily way more into trying for realism and subtlety.

I’m sorry, I’ve read here that someone thinks that Fit Finlay isn’t very good and it’s spoiled a hitherto sparkling year.

The Wonder Years, the bit where you’re looking at the Dad and you hear he died a couple of years afterwards really hits you hard.

And Prisoner: Cell Block H. Joan Ferguson finally getting hers while still berating Meg by saying “It’s my name they’re shouting Morris” as the women bay for her blood. She may have lost in the end but she’s still the one that matters.

I remember the consensus being that it was Billy Gunn at the time, I reckon that was the plan at first too, but by the time Austin came back they’d moved on because, well, he’s Billy Gunn.

The idea that wrestling should always have the least sophisticated story telling is nonsense, we are in age where TV has never had more in depth stories, there’s no reason wrestling should be different

People want that.

Wrestling’s audience hasn’t been children for a long time.

Yeah but so does Rey.

I wonder if Peter Beardsley, Peter Beagrie and Peter Beadle ever met and one of the went “Weird how we are all footballers and our names are quite similar isn’t it?”

Then they’d probably decide that it isn’t all that odd.

Also Pete Beale (Who, of course, was played by a Buddhist who didn’t drink, which is why he always drunk out of a metal tankard in the Queen Vic; they used real beer in those days you see) might have theoretically got involved.

Allie isn’t particularly bothered about Brandi and the QT thing is clearly not meant to seem genuine.

Sad how bad Jack Evans is these days, he was always entertaining as fuck and he’s just not now. I guess it’s reasonable that his stuff is less crisp given the style he wrestled for so long but I don’t understand how his personality is so bland now.

Ronnie Ekelund

I just don’t think Jim Ross IS better than everyone else these days, I think he’s actively bad and also very dated.

I think the thing about Excalibur's mask is bollocks too. This mythical viewer who would be put off by a commentator wearing a mask but wouldn’t be put off by, you know, almost all things that happen on a wrestling show, barely exists if it exists at all.
