  1. Itā€™s mad the priorities some people have.Ā 

    Iā€™m in no position to psychoanalyse Bret but I wonder how much of that is him regretting going back to Vince and jumping through mental hoops to feel justified?

    None of what Martha is doing weakens her husbands legacy, it strengthens it a hundred fold.

    And I donā€™t see why she would want her kids, who, lest we forget contain a human rights lawyer rather than, say, Teddy Hart, around those people.

    Little celebration or admiration for his wrestling legacy by his wife or kids. His daughter basically sees wrestling as the devil.Ā 

    Martha is a doctor and Oje is a human rights lawyer. Got the feeling they really look down upon their families pro wrestling legacy,Ā even though they are Harts. Whole Hart family fell apart.

    In comparison: David Benoit is probably standing in his fathers tights right now as I type this and rewatching and enjoyingĀ WrestleMania with a big grin on his face.Ā 

    I think this might be the worst thing Iā€™ve ever read and Iā€™ve read blogs.

    Have to say one part I didnā€™t like was Cornetteā€™s attempt to cry / show emotion.

    Weird guy.

    Not sure that's totally fair really, Cornette might be horrific arsehole, the worst sort of Bill Maher style right wing pretend liberal but, well, he's never been the unemotional type.

  4. When ring announcers say tag team partners names the wrong way.Ā 

    I remember Debra saying ā€œChristian and Edgeā€ that one time.

    ā€Smash and Axā€, ā€œButch and Lukeā€, ā€œJeff and Mattā€. Fuck that, Iā€™m not having it.Ā 

    The only advantage to WWE micromanaging everything is that this doesnā€™t happen now.

    ā€Animal and Hawkā€ night spoiled.

  5. Jack Charlton once told my 8 year old son to fuck off. Heā€™s not a wrestler but I think Iā€™m thrown that anyone using the phrase ā€˜custard brothersā€™ has had sexĀ with a woman.

  6. Imagine using triggered as an insult like youā€™re Joe fucking Rogan in 2017 or something.

    ā€Haha rape makes you sad! You canā€™t say anything these days.ā€

    What a fucking cunt.

  7. Yeah, even with what they had it couldā€™ve been so much more.

    it was ego that killed it more than lack of stars I think. Look at the buyrate for Invasion, that didnā€™t have Goldberg and Sting and people still wanted to see it.

    If theyā€™d presented your Storms and Oā€™Haireā€™s as stars (It seems odder now than it would have then) and had RVD or someone join WCW as he was apparently going to if theyā€™d continued you can keep it going for months until Flair/Bischoff/NWO/Steiner start showing up bit by bit.

    Should have definitely been a 2-3 year story, having it done by Survivor Series was a huge failure.

    Now, I know theyā€™d never have presented DDP, Booker, RVD and Lance Storm as threats to their top lads but they fucking should have or not done it at all.

  8. I always liked Albert, not overly certain why, he just seemed oddly likeable.

    I honestly think he was decent though, when he was doing squash matches back in the day they were great, if heā€™d been around in an era where there was more of those heā€™d be remembered more fondly.

    Him beating Cena and Punk was ludicrous, he was worn out by then but he WAS good in Japan (Not great, good) because what heā€™s good at is probably more valuable over there than in WWE, where he just never quite fit.

  9. Best: Grapes, apple, watermelon, pineapple, good strawberries.

    Ā 

    Worst: Coconuts are obviously barely a fruit,Ā all other melons, blueberries. Bananas are crap.

    Ā 

    Pomegranate tip!

    You donā€™t have to get them out with a pin, just squeeze them a bit, cut in half and whack the back with a ladle or something and the seeds will come out.

    Theyā€™re still not really worth the effort though.

    Ā 

    Ā 

  10. Itā€™s not always people being a relic that makes them out of place either, Dean Malenko never really fit in the WWF, they kept trying but it was never quite right. Until he got all Bond Sexy of course.

    And thereā€™s your Kurrgans, Alberts and Lars Sullivans who would have been great if they were around to face Hogan in the 80s.

    Recently, Cody inĀ New Japan just didnā€™t work, his skills didnā€™t suit it and made him look bland as fuck.

    I really think that Sandman inĀ WWE was actually pretty good, I mean, heā€™s incredibly limited (Shit) but heā€™s kind of lovable and he always got over.

    Id have loved Perfect to get a big run in 2002 but I reckon the rumble was all he had left sadly.

    Ā 

  11. A lot of us are going to be in the house for ages.

    Ā 

    I wrote a book a few years ago called Spandex Ballet about the 9 years I wasted as a poor quality pro wrestler. I recently found a pdf of it.

    Ā 

    If you want it sent to you (For nowt) email me on leekylecomedy@gmail.com and Iā€™ll send you it.

    Ā 

    Itā€™ll fill a bit of time.

    Ā 

    Itā€™s pretty funny, I reread the first chapter for the first time in years and laughed at stuff even though I wrote it then felt like a dick.

    Ā 

    It was the top selling wrestling book on Amazon UK for a bit and (Ridiculously) 8th in comedy biographies.

  12. Matt Hardy has been one of the best TV wrestlers of this century. Not all of it is necessarily memorable but heā€™s had good to very good 5-10 minute matches with a wide variety of people for a quarter century.

    Heā€™s not what he was at that but heā€™s been valuable as fuck for his ability to do that.

    He doesnā€™t have to be your favourite or anything but heā€™s been remarkably consistent really and has a very fertile mind.
