    Who's he gonna even sign? EC3, Austin Aries and Drake Younger?

    John Cena and the Undertaker if McMahons involved. Trump will probably be apart of the marketing. All the cancelled celebs. Honestly, there's probably a market to the Jan 6th lunatics and be like "Wrestling used to be good, here's a sex offender to show you how cool it is", there's probably an audience for it. The world is that mad.

    I doubt it'll happen, though. But I will say, McMahon doing whatever he wants is very dangerous. He'll have them 400 pounds of muscle working 30 days a week again.

  2. Imagine this cunt walking in to the Patent and Trademark Office, Thursday afternoon, in his platforms and only half the plugs lodged into his daft head. Like Eddie trying to buy a bottle of Pheromone.

    I mean Jimmy Carr once said children who get bullied should stop being weak pussies or something like that.

    I say this as someone who thinks Jimmy Carr is a tax dodging unfunny shit, that isnt being anti-woke. Sounds like something you say in your stand up to elicit laughs. I doubt he's sitting there reading about bullied kids pissing himself laughing.

  4. Tony Khan's a fucking idiot, I'm afraid. Absolute clueless cunt. All he knows is how to put a good wrestler against another good wrestler. When it comes to angles and interest past the initial "I wouldnt mind see them two wrestle!" he's rotten.

    I told myself over and over in the last 24 hours or so not to respond to this latest discussion. Perhaps because I'm too close to the subject, even more so with the fallout from the Cass Report over the last day or so, to be able to respond to all this like a rational, non-ranting human being. Additionally because I have a big mouth and I'm not good at keeping it shut and I'm sure I'll regret this post as soon as it's done. But fuck it. I'm so FUCKING tired of this shit.

    I'm not going to be guilt-tripped into not asking people not to buy a Harry Potter video game because of the repercussions for those who worked on it. And I *will* ask people not to buy it, as I have done on Twitter. I will also say that if you are an adult with your own income choosing to buy that game and it's not for your kids or a gift for a child relative of yours then I am going to tell you that you have no right to call yourself a trans ally or whatever term you're choosing to use, but more on that later. Because you're not.

    This notion that 'well, Rowling's rich anyway so what difference does it make' is so staggeringly myopic that I can't believe for one second that anyone would truly believe that. Rowling's actually a billionaire, I believe, and maybe the money or royalties that she will obviously get from the game will be a drop in the ocean to her. But do we just give up not putting any more in her pocket just because it 'won't make a difference'? Of course we don't. Because that money could be used to support a game that isn't based on a franchise created by the most prominent fascist transphobes on the planet. (A game, presumably, that will have been worked on by other human beings who need to pay the bills. So by all means tell us that we should buy the new Potter game because of the people who worked on it, but don't conveniently forget that gamers will probably put their money in another corner of the market and help those programmers instead.)

    Rowling completely dedicates her social media platforms to the demonisation of trans people, particularly trans women. Because let's face it, this mob don't give a shit about trans men and they never enter the discussion. Because they can't continue the paper-thin defence of it all being about 'feminism' when challenged on it. Her voice has undeniably led to unmeasurable amounts of abuse being levelled at trans people. A generation of people who grew up on her books, idolising her, now seeing one of the most important people in their formative years spending thousands of hours of her spare time actively trying to make the lives of people for whom life is usually difficult enough even more miserable. A lot of them will see through it and pull away from her. But many others won't.

    OK, it may not make a difference to her to not buy the game. But we have to do something! This rhetoric smacks of more or less saying, "Well, boycotts damage people down the food chain and this woman's rich as fuck anyway so let's just crack on as we were, eh?" Absolute fucking horseshit, buck-passing centrism. There's been a discussion about performative allyship and minority support in this thread and there's nothing that falls into that category more than saying that you support trans rights but then saying that it's alright to put more money in JK Rowling's pocket because what difference does it ACTUALLY make anyway. Fuck's sake.

    The fucking GIDS service just shut down. It's gone. My 17yo has had to join a network of inter-supporting trans teenagers to assist him with his transitioning because of this. He's lucky that he has that network of friends that he trusts (and so do I) but many do not. These events will be one of the most damaging things to happen to trans kids this country has ever seen. I'm too close to all this and too emotive about it, sure. But the state of play is fucking terrible and I'm so scared about what's going to happen to kids now. If you support trans kids, support them. Don't support them with caveats and 'yeah, but alsos'.

    And it's absolutely fine to call yourself an ally btw! Are there people out there who call themselves such but aren't really or are just saying that for clout? Sure! Some of them are on this board. It's no good calling yourself such a thing and then showing absolutely no hint of actual, meaningful support. It does matter, though. It means the world to my 17yo when I tell him that somebody I know is a supporter or an ally. Keep calling it yourself because those who aren't on the LGBTQ+ spectrum saying "Yeah it's a bit fishy to me this, when someone calls themselves that!"? Their opinions on this don't matter AT ALL. It doesn't affect them. They don't know how much it means. 

    I'm going to hit Submit Reply now and sink into my well of regret. Again. GREAT.

    I see nothing you should regret here. Its genuinely one of the best posts I've read on this forum.

  6. This is the best one, he wanted to do a comeback for the money. And instead gets a concussion which made him miss WrestleMania weekend. Landing him out of pocket on the biggest weekend for an ex-wrestler. Daft auld cunt.

  7. They went full on with that main event and it was sensational. For the first time in decades, there's a trust in the company to actually do it right. And they did. The camera work and the commentary were excellent all night. You could actually watch and listen to it! We've been fed shit for so long you forgot that WWE is the top company in the world. They're the best at it when they get it right.

  8. Look at this pile of shit. Its a big box ex-rental of a film I have only seen the front cover of on ebay. Absolute fucking rotten. Its apparently rare as hens teeth as well, but what is the use of it being rare when I dont even know if the market is there for it? Like have a gold statue of Tony Blackburn in your garden. Yes, its not something you see every day, but will anyone care? Anyway, you can buy this if you want. Throw me a figure out. You'll probably get it. Got a few VHS tapes actually. SummerSlam 89, Two big box Thunder in Paradise movies, No Holds Barred. If you're into that sort of thing, holla holla, playah.

    Still got loads of Power Slam magazines. Loads of early Fighting Spirit Magazines, if you want to piss yourself at grammar that makes me look like Will Self. Some of you have been lovely in the PMs. And as I tell everyone, if you get bored, stick them on ebay. You'll get your money back. I'm not in it for the profit. I'm in it for getting rid of them.

    If you need a nostalgia wank over Vic Reeves wife or someone from Big Brother, I've found loads of issues of Nuts and Zoo magazine in the loft.  I cant even remember buying them, but they're there. Which I'm sure nobody wants, so they'll be getting binned.

    Funny story, a bloke from America offered to buy 50 of the Power Slam mags off me for 100 quid of a facebook group. I had to tell him "mate it would be less hassle if I walked over there and handed them to you." I'd have to sell my arse just to sort the postage out.

  9. Watched Ghostbusters this morning for the 10am showing. I didn't mind it at all. Thought it was good in some parts, bit slow in others, but certainly not as bad as the critics are labelling it. I dont think I'll ever watch it again, but you dont even need to bring your brain with you to watch it. It flew by.

    Bill Murray seems to be doing these Royal Rumble style legend appearances in these movies. Pops in, busts some ghosts and fucks off. He's basically Kevin Nash.

    Best Dan Aykroyd performance since Celtic Pride in 1996.

  10. Everyone nearly in tears, and Michael Owen's like "Hello S-ver-en, I think its pronounced. Its Diamond Dallas Page checking in from the countability crib. Just wishing you a happy birthday. My favourite match was against Goldberg. My twitter is @RealDDP, see you soon."
