Yeah Zack was a part of the Fire Pro World NJPW DLC so it's in there for that... Now you've just got me wanting the game to get some updates as those NJPW and Stardom DLCs are a bit dated now. Still at least we have a licensed game with Hana Kimura in.

She frequently gets a tough time, but I love the fact Ava’s first comment post-departure was an anti-ICE/Trump message (link to Fightful). 

Good for her. She could have earned a comfortable living in WWE with no risk of being axed. Instead, she chose to leave and now she’s chosen to do this. She’s my new favourite wrestling personality.

"To those that believe, no explanation is needed; to those that don't, no explanation will ever be enough."

I remember someone on here having that in their sig (remember those?) back in the early 00s.

I'd completely forgotten sigs were a thing until reading this!

Was it on here where somebody had a picture of Traci Brooks cleavage in their sig? I think she was wearing a Spike TV necklace. Me mam saw that and had a go at me thinking I was on a mucky website. Like you would, in the living room with the family around. 

If she spent half hour on here she'd probably wish I was looking at porno instead.

With the old logo, she might have been forgiven for thinking it was a combination wrong 'un forum for nationalism/racism and muck.

when I saw that Punk quote, I was going to say that it was just a worse articulated version of this, and was trying to find out who was responsible for the original quote - I had seen it credited to Tracy Smothers, to Jerry Jarrett, to Bobby Heenan, probably a few other people, and I was trying to find out which wrestler originally said it.

Turns out the original quote had nothing to do with wrestling, and that it dates back to the 1880s in discussions of religion, and is wrongly attributed to about a dozen people in that field too.

Yeh, I'd heard it attributed back even further to either Blaise Pascal or René Descartes, but that's probably wrong too.

EDIT: A quick Google says it's most frequently attributed to Thomas Aquinas, so even further back.

It's also shown at the start of the film 'The Song of Bernadette', a 1940s movie about Our Lady of Lourdes, which was nominated for a bunch of Oscars and won a few - it was a pretty big deal amongst Catholics for a while (enough that we were shown it in school 40 years later). I'd guess that's where it wandered into the wrestling business from.

Heard about Excalibur hitting the 'Fix your hearts or die' line on Dynamite. Lovely stuff.

 

EDIT: Just realised I should probably explain for those that don't know - it's a Twin Peaks reference broadly used to show solidarity and support for the LGBTQ and more specifically the trans community.
