They got rid of the plastic pitch before then. I think everyone had done so.

Unless I’m mistaken, Oldham are the first team to have once played in the Premier League to be relegated from the Football League. Makes me feel incredibly old that I remember Oldham in the PL. I remember their pitches by the end of the season. They were essentially mud patches with the occasional bit of grass. Back then even the biggest clubs had bad pitches by May.

I’ve never been a Bubba fan but I really enjoyed this one. They did spend a lot of time talking about those matches with E&C and The Hardys but as Bubba says, the reason they’re in the HoF is down to those matches, it would be strange if they didn’t devote so much time talking about it.

Whilst I wouldn’t be surprised at the news, that article literally says “might be on the rocks”.

That 7th minute applause and rendition of YNWA for Ronaldo brought a tear to my eye.

First and last warning. Read the first pinned thread at the top of the AEW forum.

One of Cristiano Ronaldo’s newborn twins has died. Jesus, that’s just tragic.

Pride (2014) A British comedy set in the mid-80s based on the true life unlikely alliance between the striking Coal Miners and some Lesbian and Gay activists from London. It’s one of those “on paper they seem as far apart as you can get but in reality, they are both fighting for the same cause” stories but it’s not twee or saccharine. It’s got a great cast including Imelda Staunton, Paddy Considine, Bill Nighy, Dominic West and George MacKay. It’s yet another uplifting comedy about working class Brits being downtrodden that we get right quite often (Brassed Off, Made in Dagenham, The Full Monty, Billy Elliot to name a few) yet it’s not heavy-handed on the propaganda front. It’s hilarious, has an awesome 80s soundtrack and if you’re not crying at the end (or on many other occasions throughout), you have no soul!

Some of the “lad culture” here in the late-90s was obnoxious. Chris Evans and his pissed-up TFI Friday bell-ends, pricks on 18-30 holidays proclaiming it “lads on tour”, giving my favourite lager, Stella Artois a bad name. I certainly drank and behaved like a twat on occasion (I’ll put that down to being young and foolish) but even so, I never went full-blown tosser. Same here. I know things like Loaded and Men Behaving Badly promoted lad culture, but it was always something I felt distanced from. I drank and went to the pub and clubbing with my mates, but I didn’t like football, had different taste in women to the FHM cover girls and had no real interest in Britpop (Suede aside). I first realised the ‘twat’ element of lad culture when watching a Prince Naseem Hamed boxing match in a pub. It was a coincidence it was on, I’d not gone there specifically to watch it, but it was during the era when Hamed never lost, and was getting KOs in the first few rounds. This fight was no different, but the knobeads around me were cheering him on as if he’d made a Rocky-esque comeback and it was a do or die last round. (*sigh*) There’s actually a moment in an episode of Men Behaving Badly that sums up when it crosses over from being laddish to twattish. Tony returns home after busking around Europe and is randomly singing about things in the flat, He opens the fridge and sings “full of lager” and some twat in the audience shouts out “LAGER!”. Alas, the fact that they were sending up lad culture and how stupid some men were was perfectly illustrated by some tit who probably bragged afterwards that he shouted out “Lager” and everyone thought he was a “legend”.

Is the board more on edge than normal these days? Or is it just a general thing, that everyone in general has a shorter fuse? Just curious, because every thread I read these days seems to devolve into an argument, even stuff that you might think isn't worth getting annoyed about. It’s “these days” that are causing people to be on edge in general, so of course some of that will transfer to here. We’re just coming out of a global pandemic (that still isn’t going away any time soon), the cost of just about everything is rising rapidly and the situation in Ukraine is worrying,

To be fair, he probably still had that guy’s enormous tallywhacker on his mind.

Regal has to be up there. His book is brutally honest, mostly at his own expense. I’m not saying Goldberg is a liar but I tend to believe Regal’s account of their incident because he’s said stuff that makes him look far worse elsewhere and admitted when he was in the wrong, why would he lie about that match in particular?

Wasn’t expecting Burnley to sack Dyche. If anyone was going to keep them up then it was him. f***ing ridiculous decision. The guy’s worked wonders for the last ten years despite having the square root of f*** all to spend. He’s not just made them a team who survived, they thrived and managed to even get into Europe.

Owen Hart and Curt Hennig
Yes, I know they did have a match and it was at a Wrestlemania nonetheless but Curt was still establishing himself as Mr. Perfect and The Blue Blazer was a jobber with a gimmick. Owen would be gone from the company just after the match and when he returned to the WWF, Hennig was in the middle of taking a year off with back issues. When Perfect came back, Owen was in a jobber team with Koko and then spent most of 1993 either injured or wrestling in Memphis. At the end of 93, Owen started his feud with Bret and Hennig would disappear until Spring 94 before his back again caused him to take an even longer leave of absence from wrestling. By the time Curt’s back had healed again it was 1997. Owen was a strong Heel at this time but Curt had signed with WCW. And of course by the time Hennig made his perfect return to the WWF in 2002, we all sadly know why he couldn’t wrestle Owen.
It just seems that injuries, heel/face alignments and general “right place, wrong time” factors would stop us getting that match between the two more experienced versions. 1989 Owen was spectacular to watch but I think the Owen we got a few years later after a few knee injuries had curbed the high-flying stuff a little and resulted in a style more similar to Bret was peak Owen. 1993 Hennig wasn’t peak Mr, Perfect (that would be 1990/1) but he was absolutely no slouch and more than capable of having great matches. A match with Owen would have been a nice accompaniment to his relationship with Bret, one of mutual respect but with the capability of getting heated.

Channel 4 has a slightly modified logo but it’s pretty much the same one it launched with forty years ago.

David and Maureen Sowerbutts. Yeah, but Maureen's impression of Tina Turner was amazing. he did have Matey! why did he lie? “See? The murderer has written “f*** pig” using his or her own excrement.”
