Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted January 5, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted January 5, 2022 What was the point of Jimmy Savile doing the grappling? Was he doing it for some noncing? What was the point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was he doing it for some noncing? What was the point? It's not something I know for absolutely sure, but British wrestling for a long time was run by gangsters, and one of the reasons Savile was untouchable for most of his life was because he was in with gangsters. I wouldn't be surprised if that was how he built up those links. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Coconut Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 There was probably also some noncing to be had. I mean, it's still wrestling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted January 5, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted January 5, 2022 I don't think it was ever anything more than a daft publicity stunt - he was already a DJ when he started wrestling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted January 5, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted January 5, 2022 It’s a fucking awful situation where I stumble upon some intimation on Twitter that someone is anti-LGBT and my first thought was “Hang on, nonce and rapist I know about but… is this new?” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also just throw in the fact that its 2022 and Paul E is still relevant in wrestling with the two top stars in the company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted January 5, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted January 5, 2022 Wouldn't it take up considerably less of our time if this topic had been about nice people in wrestling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted January 5, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted January 5, 2022 Yeh, but saving time is pretty much the opposite of why we post on this forum at all, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if it was about "the nicest", though. If it was just about nice people in general, we'd have to include Terry Funk, Johnny Kidd, and Bryan Danielson at least.

Merzbow Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I'm sure we've had a nicest person thread in the past, although, that was more general celebrities and the answer was obviously Bob Mortimer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted January 5, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted January 5, 2022 We’ve probably had threads like that a few times. I started one a year or so ago and Bobby Eaton was the trigger for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted January 5, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted January 5, 2022 Yeah, nobody had a bad thing to say about Beautiful Bobby, with the possible exception of Lance Storm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
