The Gaffer Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 It's probably already been mentioned but Brendon Burns has put up a wrestling comedy roast. It's about what you would expect if you like his comedy and put that into a wrestling context. He's a massive wrestling fan. He has other guests on it as well. I'm about halfway through and it's pretty decent so far. And it's 69p. So if you fancy smarky stand up comedy for a quid or so ... https://gumroad.com/l/QCrMH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted September 16, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted September 16, 2014 Former Germany goalkeeper set to become a WWE wrestler Tim Wiese is without a club since Hoffenheim mutually terminated his contract in January. Like romances, these endings are seemingly always “mutual”. What next for the erstwhile international keeper? A career in coaching? A spot of punditry? Indoor football with his old teammates as part of a masters team? Nah. The 32-year-old has turned to bodybuilding and recently revealed that the WWE (née WWF) have made him an offer to join their developmental system in Florida. That’s the bottom line. Why? Because Tim Wiese said so. Judging from the picture above, the former Werder Bremen man already has the look down and he currently weighs in at over 250lbs. He told German newspaper Bild: "I have had an official enquiry from the WWE. It’s about working for them as a wrestler. I will listen. I don’t s*** my pants. Why should I immediately say no? Wrestling is very popular, especially in the United States. I will go through the enquiry with my agent next week." Apparently Vince McMahon would want Wiese to spend a year training in Orlando before considering promoting him to the main roster. Hopefully Jens Lehmann will follow suit and next year’s Wrestlemania might just have the tag team champions we’ve all been waiting for. http://babb.telegraph.co.uk/2014/09/former-germany-goalkeeper-set-to-become-a-wwe-wrestler/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krytie 2X4B 523P Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) Frigady! Someone's been eating horse. The British lad who used to be a lower league goalkeeper that WWE posted a video about a week back of himself at the performance centre Stu 'The Tank' Tomlinson. Was at Burton Albion and has been in Men's Health type mags. Jacked to the gills but with glass knees (hence early retirement). Has no experience in wrestling whatsoever but he has a sporting pedigree which what WWE wants in its trainees.

Moderators PowerButchi Posted September 16, 2014 Moderators Share Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) From Chester, s'appens. I was hearing hilarious stories from someone from there who knows him the other day. Anyway, when did Tim Wiese become Brakus 2k14?

Black Flag Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 They've been going round putting ICW traffic cones on top of statues and things round Liverpool, Birmingham, Leeds and Newcastle with Mark Dallas to promote the upcoming ICW Magical Mystery Tour.

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted September 18, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted September 18, 2014 For our English readers, this traffic cone thing stems from what idiots do to the Duke of Wellington statue near George's Square in Glasgow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Coconut Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I'm not sure that's peculiarly Scottish. Aneuerin Bevan has had the same treatment in Cardiff for at least the last 30 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winston Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Saw an interview with Wade Barrett on WrestleZone that looked genuinely out of character saying that he and John Cena do not like each other at all. Reckon this stretches back to the original Nexus feud? Remember on a podcast with Jericho and Edge saying that Cena definitely should've put Barrett over then.

King Pitcos Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 He's probably pissed off that Cena's being funny about giving Daniel Bryan and Brie money, which they need now they're broke because Bryan's injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
