Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted October 24, 2024 Paid Members Posted October 24, 2024 Is that actual merch?
The Gaffer Posted October 24, 2024 Posted October 24, 2024 At least Khan's keeping on top of his Sky bills.

Paid Members Chris B Posted October 24, 2024 Paid Members Posted October 24, 2024 As funny as the whole thing with WWE giving Sadiq Khan a teeny little belt was, I'm guessing it was something to do with bribery laws, and the level of gift he could accept? A miniature is fine, but a real belt worth hundreds to thousands would be an issue?

Regardless I’m sure he could have had his picture taken with the actual belt and been given something as a keep sake. Because how comes Tony has done it if bribery was the issue? I always assumed they hadn’t planned on the photo op and someone had to nip to Hamleys to get something. Also, replica belts cost £100’s not thousands.

Tony said he was unveiling the belt and posing with it, not giving it to him. HHH has done the belt thing all over, but not in the UK much and not necessarily with public servants. There's definitely a limit on gifts he can be given - I can't see why WWE would have done the tiny belt thing if not to keep within those guidelines. It was a baffling decision for everyone involved. I'm not saying I know what's happened, but this sequence of events makes sense to me. WWE does the gift-giving because that's how you do business, they hit rules and regulations in the UK and produce something they can give him. And Tony Khan just does the photo op with the belt being unveiled, rather than giving it as a gift.
Paid Members Ronnie Posted October 29, 2024 Paid Members Posted October 29, 2024 Always happy when Disco Inferno gets a dressing-down from a peer. It's not Full Cody but enjoyable enough to read anyway: For those wondering what I was referring to:
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted October 31, 2024 Paid Members Posted October 31, 2024 Chavo and Disco are pretty good friends, I think. That's not so much a dressing down, more a bit of ribbing between mates.

Paid Members JLM Posted November 1, 2024 Paid Members Posted November 1, 2024 Disco inviting Chavo onto his podcast to debate whether or not he’s stupid is pretty funny.
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted November 1, 2024 Paid Members Posted November 1, 2024 Chavo's been on the show in the past, a few times I think. To them it's just 'ball busting'.
Paid Members The Ratt Posted November 1, 2024 Paid Members Posted November 1, 2024 Probably the earliest known wrestling footage that exists.
