Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted July 13, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted July 13, 2019 Anyone see that video with Bayley and the host looking terrified when told they have to drive themselves after the show? 2019 has been a interesting year for the light shining on WWE's treatment of their wrestlers. Makes you hope they do something about it eventually. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThumpSquids Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Just sifting through the Evolve anniversary show on the Network, and good gravy, what a mess! I’m third match in, and, so far, two people have been kicked in the nose within the first few seconds of the match. I get that you want to impress with this new audience, but it’s scrappy as all hell, and not in a good way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I’m going to watch the rest of it some point, but I had to turn it off after the Anthony Henry pre-taped hype video. It’s a pre-tape, they literally had infinite takes to get it right, and that was the best they got? It was fucking rancid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Pitcos Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I’ve only just seen that WWE are selling Liverpool FC shirts because Liverpool borrowed “Never give up” from John Cena. https://euroshop.wwe.com/en_GB/liverpool-f.c.-never-give-up-black-t-shirt/057952DA3E.html?dwvar_057952DA3E_color=Black#start=36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members CleetusVanDamme Posted July 16, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted July 16, 2019 (edited) Disgusting promotional tactic. I consider the title belt they awarded JT to be hollow and worthless now. Edited July 16, 2019 by CleetusVanDamme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRooster Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I’ve been watching Raw from the 90s, and I’ve just watched a celebrity appearance I didn’t know about, which is odd given the magnitude of the star. On one hand Ben Stiller’s 1999 Raw appearance should be something they bring up every now and again. On the other hand, they’d have to cut most of what he says because he spends almost all of his time talking about Debra’s boobs. I’m amazed that he agreed to do that even in 1999. It’s unbelievably creepy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're being a bit hindsighty. Oh probably. I was 11 years old then so I don’t remember that time period all that well...I may be looking back with rose-tinted glasses from a progressiveness standpoint. Having said that, I don’t really remember Ben Stiller being cast in that kind of role (nb. He may well have been at some point) - I associate him with playing the loveable loser rather than the horned up creep. I dunno, I found it odd to watch.

Paid Members Carbomb Posted July 18, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted July 18, 2019 Stiller's often shown a willingness to send himself up, even when he's playing himself. In Extras, he portrayed himself as a hopelessly-insecure egomaniac. He probably saw playing the horned-up creep as just another self-mocking performance in which the audience were in on the joke again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gaffer Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Shamelessly stolen from Reddit but...  Eight years ago today. Wrestling's great for those "where's my life gone" moments, and this one caught me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrK Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Am I making this up or was this a non PPV event in the UK? I seem to remember watching the whole event the following day but doubt I’d have paid for an event that was not Wrestlemania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m fairly certain this one was on sky sports. I think gradually in the time up to when the network arrived in the uk a few more events each year moved to box office.
