  1. Davari, Fat Pat Kenney and Jeff Jarrett turned up on the latest Morgan Spurlock documentary on Male Grooming. I now know Davari's shaving habits. Thanks Netflix for recommending me this gem.
  2. Chael Sonnen knew his role completely, played up to it vs. Anderson Silva. And due to this UFC did some great PPV numbers. He wasn't even the #1 contender

    Cena comes across as a better human being than Punk. Punk wishes he was Shawn Michaels back in 1988 writing horrible things on the back of fan's denim jacket for his own amusement. I don't think Punk is that bad. While I wouldn't call him an overly kind person towards the audience, I can't see him doing something like that or throwing a knee brace at someone's family member who has cancer. I think in a different era he'd be worse than he is now.
  4. This isn't a new thing you know.
  5. That has always been my biggest gripe/bitch about Meltzer. I guess when you have been in the business so long you think everything is a work and face/heel crap. I believe he said that Lebron James turned heel when he did "The Decision" a couple years ago. The idea that the last 3 months of Ronda Rousey being a complete bitch and hated was part of some "storyline" or "building a character" is just laughable. Sometimes being a jerk means you are a jerk not pretending to be one like a "heel" She understands how she needs to stay relevant and make money, a lot of what she's done has been pre-mediated. Don't get me wrong, she might be bitch too, but she knows by playing a role she will be remembered more as well as knowing that being the "heel" champ and have challengers "chase" her for the title could make her more money than just being a "white meat babyface". This seems to be working well. More chatter about Rousey than Weidman after the show. Yes but the main premise of being a "heel" is that you are pretending to be an asshole or arrogant or evil or whatever. Does anyone really believe that Rousey is pretending to be something she isn't. When she said "real mean vs fake nice", she wasn't bullshitting about either her or Meisha She's just extenuating her own personality. Nothing wrong with that.

  8. - Watch certain Royal Rumbles for Voices of Wrestling upcoming shows - Finish the 1990 Yearbook - Keep up to date with NJPW - Read the Observer each week - Do more podcasting - Try and attend more UK Shows - Watch NXT weekly - Start following MMA more closely again - Try and get the NWA Legends convention in August - Do some DDP Yoga
  9. When you send an email, your full name may show up in the recipients inbox if you've configured your email address in that way and provided it with your full name. That's the most likely scenario.
  10. Slightly off topic, but I always loved Manami Toyota's Ocean Cyclone Suplex.
  11. I was given the History Of WWE Vol 1&2 books. Result!
  12. It was Paul Diamond *I THINK*. He won TWA (Texas) Heavyweight title a couple of times with that gimmick too. Seriously though, do you think that Michaels would rather work with Diamond or one of Shannon Moore's mates? Edit: Here's the match, and it's Diamond: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/k2PDhaGG3tUhpu4T6YU
  13. First thought as I listen, you both said you couldn't see Michaels as a future world champion as compared to the champions of the time (Warrior, Flair and Bockwinkel). Michaels is 6'1 - Bockwinkel is 5'11 and Flair is 6'1 also so can you elaborate a little more on those comments? Was it a weight factor? Michaels was never tiny and also had a defined physique, and I wouldn't say he was hugely smaller compared to Flair and Bock.
  14. Excellent! Another WWTP - Has Xmas come early? I shall give this a whirl today! I hope you discussed his brown tights.
  15. Alex Shane is behind this. The venue in London is where the Jim Ross one was held. VIP were £35 + booking fee. It's mental that Cornette would be more than Ross by such a margin. Typical Alex Shane.
  16. Not a huge deal is known about Iron Mike other than he was well thought of by everyone and a really good heel. I thought Ted Jr was always really bland and have not seen Ted's other sons in action. Don't think they are very high on the list tbh. Side note: Mike DiBiase once had a 1 hour, 44 minute Texas Death Match with Dory Funk Sr. (with 16 falls)..
  17. I thought you'd of said the DiBiase's parv!
  18. The BT Sport UFC coverage isn't the best; they are using some UK studio gimmick during shows.
  19. WOW! I'll be keeping an eye out for this. You never know, it could be fun!
  20. I have got a few random t-shirts over the last few years, including a couple from barbershopwindow.com
  21. Nice to see Kris Travis (45) and El Ligero (47) in this years PS 50. Here's the list in full: 1. Kazuchika Okada 2. Hiroshi Tanahashi 3. Daniel Bryan 4. Shinsuke Nakamura 5. Tomohiro Ishii 6. Randy Orton 7. CM Punk 8. Prince Devitt 9. Katsuyori Shibata 10. Kota Ibushi 11. Austin Aries 12. Shingo Takagi 13. Hirooki Goto 14. Bully Ray 15. Ricochet 16. Kurt Angle 17. Akira Tozawa 18. Masato Yoshino 19. CIMA 20. Seth Rollins 21. Minoru Suzuki 22. Tetsuya Naito 23. Naruki Doi 24. Bobby Roode 25. Matt Jackson 26. Nick Jackson 27. Kevin Steen 28. Dean Ambrose 29. Masato Tanaka 30. Antonio Cesaro 31. AJ Styles 32. Roman Reigns 33. Yuji Nagata 34. BxB Hulk 35. KENTA 36. Karl Anderson 37. Dolph Ziggler 38. Jeff Hardy 39. Alberto Del Rio 40. Michael Elgin 41. Brock Lesnar 42. Adam Cole 43. Davey Richards 44. Kenny Omega 45. Kris Travis 46. Jay Briscoe 47. El Ligero 48. Christopher Daniels 49. Sami Zayn 50. Cody Rhodes.
  22. WWE.com is great isn't it? Here's a fun article discussing the evolution of the WWE ring. http://www.wwe.com/classics/deconstructing...26171295/page-2
  23. To me, via twitter, he comes across as a poor man's CM Punk with his putdowns etc. Basically he's a bit of a cunt. I see why he is still being used on F4W, as he is kinda relevant still, but hopefully he'll get phased out in the next few years like Buddy Wayne did previously.
  24. To clarify, BT Sport have rights to the Champions League FROM 2015. AND their channel is free to people who have BT Internet, which according to the market share is 31.5% of the UK Broadband market. They are, like others all after new content to fill up schedules, but I just cannot see them leaving Sky at this stage of the game, especially with the links they have with Sky to Sky Box Office. BT would have to come in a huge offer to turn WWE's head. The deal between WWE and Sky is up in about 12 months. The two have been partners for over 25 years now. I just can't see WWE completely walking away from Sky. I could however, see them dish out certain programming to other channels, but not the whole caboodle, which is what BT would require. Plus with WWE doing more "original" programming such as Total Divas and the enigma that is Legends House, neither would be a fit on BT Sports, but would be totally fine on Sky Living or Sky One.
  25. The deal isn't up in the UK. They'd be stupid to leave Sky anyway if it was, unless it was to move to a free to air channel, which isn't likely.
