Former pro darts player Paul Nicholson is one as well. Heā€™s mimicked Punk twice. Doing the whole getting on one knee during the walk on and shouting itā€™s clobbering time deal. He sat on the stage crossed leg like Punk as Phil Taylor walked on to try and wind him up. Think he lost that match. Also held up a Nexus scarf during one of those walk ons. Ā 

Now he does commentary on the pro tour and regularly mentions wrestling/wrestlers as references. Mostly pointless references at that.Ā

A truly mortifying sight it was, too. Toe-curlingly embarrassing.

This sounds excruciating and I must see it.

The PDC has got a bit WWE over the years. The walk ons with each player having their own entrance music, the fans chanting what they like and not watching what's going on, booing players they regard as villains, all very WWE. Not a celebrity or even a well known darts player but former PDC tour card holder Matt Edgar is a big wrestling fan. He used to wrestle, and he went to AEW at Wembley, but I don't think his "Prime Time" nickname is an Elix Skipper tribute.Ā

Completely forgot about Matt Edgar. Yeah big fan and did wrestle years back. Came out with a Hogan inspired shirt one world championships.Ā 

The reason itā€™s gone a bit WWE is because Barry Hearn got inspired watching a Wrestlemania years ago. Snooker has gone the same way under him. Walk on music for each player. Just less noise obviously unless itā€™s the Shoot Out.Ā

Agreed. Thereā€™s hardly any crossover between your average Darts fan and Wrestling. He just looked like a plonker.

And if there is you can bet their references go no further than 1992. ā€œAre the Bushwhackers still wrestling? I loved them.ā€
