hallicks Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I was working in the bookies in 2007/2008, it was a slow morning so I put TWC on. Lasted about 25 minutes before my manager noticed, with the usual "what are you watching this shit for?" like he was my dad or something (he was a good bloke all the same). I can't be sure if I'm remembering it right, but whatever we were watching had Al Snow starting his match with a dance competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted March 19, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted March 19, 2020 I’ve fallen victim to panic buying and have been buying random wrestling merch (no shock there) including this sweet as fuck WWF seat cushion from a show in 1988. Keep your bog rolls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEGIT Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 That's great. Where did you buy an item such as that? If you don't mind me asking was it costly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't mind me asking was it costly? It was cheap (relative) based on others I’ve missed out on in the past. Under £40 inc postage. Once in a while they pop up on obvious auction sites. There’s a Mania 24 seat cushion going for about £50 at the moment. I’m going to make a proper stool/seat for the one pictured at the workshop over the next couple of weeks. Turn it in to a nice piece of furniture again, rather than going in a box in someone’s loft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BigJag Posted March 20, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted March 20, 2020 When you've made the seat. Please do share the pictures of your process and the finished piece of furniture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Is there a single thread on this forum that doesn't end up discussing someone's stool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Blog Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Just realised that Ryback was on Miz's season of tough enough. Amazing what you discover in isolation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeymike83 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I've seen it written recently, but I've never understood how some spell Bret Hart's name as Brett. It's a long time since I've read his book and for the life of me don't know where it is to find it out, so if he was born as Brett then fair enough. Please don't misinterpret this as being a bit spelling dickish, it is merely pondering on my part. I've just found it strange when you would have the odd poster at live events spelling it with a double T, when for a decade plus he was high profile enough to have his name plastered around to a fairly high degree.

Guest Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 It happened with Rick Flair as well. Just people becoming set in their ways after encountering the other spelling first, and lacking the intellectual capacity to entertain multiple versions of the same name. Seen it less with Sean Michaels though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been typing it like that recently, but only because I saw someone else do it and assumed that was the way. I’ve never really watched much of his stuff so his name isn’t as ingrained into me as other wrestlers. In fact I don’t think I’ve ever watched a full match of his. Haven’t see any of the Die Hard, Sopranos or Lethal Weapon films either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love-Wilcox Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I love the first Lethal Weapon, it doesn't get enough praise these days IMO. The only Brett's I've ever known in real life have always spelled it with two t's, so that's probably why I cock it up all the time when talking about Hart.

Cannibal Man Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) People round here pronounced Shawn Michaels name as Shahn ala SHAO KAHN and it did my fucking head in. I don't know how but i'm sure it was the W in his name. Â EDIT - just repeating SHAHN to myself and I sound like Vince going SHAHHHN MYGULLS AHAHAHAH so maybe it as the accents Edited March 21, 2020 by Cannibal Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine it’s to do with hugely popular  Packers quarterback Brett Favre whose career overlapped Hart’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
