If anything, it ages better with time. Sami at the Rumble might be the best thing I’ve ever seen in pro-wrestling.

You’re right. I’ve watched it an uncountable number of times, but I’ve just watched it again. It’s perfect. I don’t think I’ve been invested in a babyface as much, other than Aretha Franklin Bret and Daniel Bryan.

The entire Bloodline angle was one of the best they’ve done, but this night in particular was one for the ages. The worry on Sami’s face that had built over the months. The chaining of Owens. The handing of the chair and the push in the face. A lot will be said about this feud over the years but I hope Roman Reigns’ brilliance throughout it gets a good nod.

But bloody hell, that chair shot. Everyone was waiting for it and wanted it. The ‘wooah’ the second before it happened is part of the fun. But when it hit? Man. That was it. It clapped around the arena and the world. The subsequent superkicks landed well but were irrelevant. That chair shot was the pinnacle of the storyline so whatever followed was always going to be an afterthought.

CM Punk coming back was good, too.

This thread is wonderful. When I get a minute, I’ll write about how and why my Mum got chucked out of the Houses of Parliament.

Wand every time he posts: 

I've said it before, but I absolutely hate MMA and his posts are so good that I still read them. Great shit.

You’ve hit the nail on the head. MMA isn’t for me but the sheer amount of time and passion wand puts into his posts makes them a joy to read. His nomination post for the awards was incredible.

I was trying to do this and have my tea before the match, but I should have just waited until we're 0-1 down after 2 mins and done it at a sensible pace. Cheers for catching this one early!

Really pleased for @Frankie Crisp today with the news that Palace just signed Daniel Munoz, a right-back. Not only because he's a really fun player but also because, most importantly, he may reduce Joel Ward's playing time. This is the universe levelling things up for you after that fry-up.

Actually overjoyed at the news. When softarse finally hangs up his boots, I'll possibly need a post-Thatcher's dead day of recovery.

@Frankie Crisp Gunther vs Sheamus vs Drew will split its own vote being on there twice! Though you could always count them collectively 

(Not that it matters, Swerve vs Hangman is the winner)

Oh bloody hell. Right, that's been fixed and I think I've caught any other dupes elsewhere. I was trying to do this and have my tea before the match, but I should have just waited until we're 0-1 down after 2 mins and done it at a sensible pace. Cheers for catching this one early!

@Frankie Crisp you've gone double Creed brothers buddy. 

Cheers, Liono! It was a frantic copy/paste hour but hopefully there are no more. Will eyeball the others in a sec. Nice one.

Sorry once again for the delay, but this year's Forum, Wrestling and MMA voting threads are now up.

For the Forum ones, I've used all names as they were at the time of voting so a) worthy recipients don't miss out on intended votes and b) I can't be arsed seeing who's who now. I'll work it out by the time the voting ends on Wednesday, 14th Feb.
