sivy Posted November 11, 2023 Posted November 11, 2023 I mean you have to be a bit of a prick to get booted from both Vince Russo show and keepin 100. And Billi managed to do it. Quote
Browser Brady Posted November 11, 2023 Posted November 11, 2023 Cedric Bixler-Zavala from the band at the drive in is a big fan, or at least of old time wrestling. He used to post a good few wrestler clips on his instagram. So you have Adam Jones of Tool. Billy Corgan of the Smashing pumpkins. Danzig. Lars Frederiksen from Rancid. Cedric Bixler-Zavala from at the drive in. The mountain goats. Of course the ICP. Rick Rubin. Thats some credible names . Quote

Merzbow Posted November 11, 2023 Posted November 11, 2023 ICP wrestled before they rapped if I remember right, I know Violent J was on the Detroit circuit in his brother's old military garb way back. Quote
Paid Members Carbomb Posted November 11, 2023 Paid Members Posted November 11, 2023 Would Freddie Prinze Jr. count, having actually worked for WWE? Quote
Paid Members TheBurningRed Posted November 11, 2023 Paid Members Posted November 11, 2023 Former pro darts player Paul Nicholson is one as well. He’s mimicked Punk twice. Doing the whole getting on one knee during the walk on and shouting it’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. Now he does commentary on the pro tour and regularly mentions wrestling/wrestlers as references. Mostly pointless references at that. Quote

Members SuperBacon Posted November 11, 2023 Members Posted November 11, 2023 "If CM Punk is watching" hahahahahahaha. Then goes on to call him Phil. What an absolute dweeb. Quote
Paid Members TheBurningRed Posted November 11, 2023 Paid Members Posted November 11, 2023 I’m surprised he’s not on here. He was on the darts forum often and still goes on there to see what people say. He’d be all over that Punk thread. Punks only a casual fan. Just the Worlds for him every December. Quote
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted November 11, 2023 Paid Members Posted November 11, 2023 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. Quote
Paid Members TheBurningRed Posted November 11, 2023 Paid Members Posted November 11, 2023 Completely forgot about Matt Edgar. Yeah big fan and did wrestle years back. Came out with a Hogan inspired shirt one world championships. The reason it’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 it’s the Shoot Out. Quote

Agreed. There’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. “Are the Bushwhackers still wrestling? I loved them.” Edited November 11, 2023 by garynysmon Quote
Snitsky's back acne Posted November 11, 2023 Posted November 11, 2023 I wasn't a fan of ITV's Celebrity Wrestling but Hulk Hogan's series was not bad from what I remember. Danny Bonaduce was a bit of a wildcard. Quote
