It's not about apologies. It's about understanding - worryingly, you seem to think it would be a good ol' gag if only the story was better known. But sure, in the same spirit as your apology, I "accept".  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the explanation was not good enough for you. I am glad you accepted the apology though, thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to be a dickhead just be one. i honestly think you have got me wrong. Like that other time when someone asked about that Jimmy Corkhill image. You accused me of being passive aggressive, but all i did was answer the question? Now you are suggesting i act like a dickhead, which i assume could get me banned? & in the same breath giving me a final warning for not being the type of dickhead you believe me to be? My apology was genuine. Do i also apologise to you or be rude to you? Can you accept that the typed word can be misinterpreted, be it sarcasm or any other form of expression more easily judged face to face? If you read the original posts about my review you will see Michael-315 mention "kidding" & King Pitcos mention "bumrape" so i just went along with what i thought was a bit of laddish banter. I can't really say any more than i already have & feel that nothing i say in addition will change your preconception of me.

It'll get you a gold star mate.  Personally I find people need to calm down.Life is way too short to get het up by ill-advised jokey comments. Do people suffer in life? Definitely. I prefer to be a tad light hearted, saves the pain. It's not like you went to a rape crisis convention and made the comment there. It's all in context. But then again people like being outraged for other people (unless you have been sexually assaulted by a hulking wrestler, in which case apologies in advance) Edited May 9, 2020 by Michael_3165 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You act like a dickhead. A lot. You forgot to mention that in my next line, i put was... "there are a LOT of good people around here. People who through their love of wrestling genuinely care about folk that they may have never met, but are happy to give out good advice & kind words." I still believe this to be true. You only have to read the comments about people suffering for various reasons during Isolation & the support & kind words typed in the Covid-19 Megathread by many people on here, to know that the comment you left out was also correct.

I think I might get it when spare cash becomes a thing againhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Shamrock-Worlds-Most-Dangerous-Man/dp/1734945915/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1588959666&sr=1-1 I'm reading it at the moment - it's good, though I'm not entirely sure it's worthy of the praise being heaped on it. I am only up to UFC 3, admittedly, but there are points when I'm frustrated that it hasn't gone into more detail on an interesting point it raises, or when it glosses over things very quickly. I'm not particularly invested in Ken Shamrock's private life, so it's not a dealbreaker, but there are points when the birth of one of his children is covered in a footnote! It's not particularly well-written, but far from the worst wrestling book in that regard. There's some interesting stuff on the development of shoot style into MMA, from UWF to PWFG to Pancrase and so on in Japan, with quotes from a few of the key players, that mostly just made me wish that I could read a book on that whole scene rather than one where it's summarised as a backdrop to who Ken Shamrock is.

WestCoastPop619 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Finally picked up Lou Thesz: Shooter on the kindle for less than a tenner. So intrigued to see what it’s like. It also linked to the following & was wondering if anyone could give any insight into if they’re worth checking out; Terry Funk : more than just hardcore vader time by Leon white Stan Hansen autobiography  Also any left field suggestions bar these would be welcomed.
