Brock Lesnar vs Jeff Jarrett would be a more even match than you'd imagine ; Jeff's been a World Heavyweight Champion VERY MANY more times then Lesnar has, plus he's undefeated in MMA, which Brock can't say. Imagine the promotion of THE Paul Heyman guy vs THE Vince Russo guy! Rope Vinnie Ru into an on-screen comeback!

 

I'm struggling to see what there isn't to love about this.

Anyone heard anything about this play based on wrestling? Quite intrigued by it

The Wee Man mentioned this on Friday Night Fight Club, demanding that ICW fans burn the theatre to the ground. Reading a few reviews of it its just Grado's story nicked and the names slightly changed(and they made Mikey Whiplash into a woman), however since they have a character called the Wee Man who is "a Scottish chav, driven by insult and Buckfast Tonic Wine" I can see why he's pissed. Hell Lardo wears a bumbag!
