@SoCalValerie @staplescenter …taken three weeks ago.

Can we make these throwbacks a trending thing? Somewhere I have a photo of me with someone’s belt, standing outside of the @staplescenter in LA waiting for autographs, proudly doing the Hardy gun finger signs in a Stephanie McMahon knockoff outfit. 👊🏼

Saw Big, Beautiful @mattforde at @Theatrepaignton tonight. Actually not big, and beauty is subjective, but he is talented, funny and inspirational. Go and see him if you can. The best Trump impression in the business! Cheers Fordey!

@wise0w1 @StuBennett Warsteiner is also what Bron Breakker would be known as if he’d been brought up in Newcastle…

@StuBennett Warsteiner is amazing.

Thank you Germany. The weather was freezing, the crowds were hot, the shows were immense, and the Warsteiners were top-tier. These are a few of my favourite things. See you next time. 🇩🇪👍🏻

@LeanneCulv archive.org/details/rip-ww… This one?

Hey Wrestling Twitter, I need your help! My husband and I are CONVINCED Puddle of Mudd's Blurry was used by WWF/E at some point in 2001/2002 - can you help prove, or disprove, this theory #Wrestling #wwe

One of the all-time great horse races today (helps when you back the winner!) but enhanced ever further by a sensational call from @RichardHoiles. Absolutely superb.

@mattforde I’m coming to see your show next year, in Paignton, for the first time. I was introduced to you via Quickly Kevin, and have long thought you were funny, but my main motivation for attending is because of how likeable, positive and inspirational you are. Be well, Fordey.

Today I'm two years cancer free. It sounds barmy but at times I completely forget that I had it. I can't figure out if that makes me a very positive person or a moron. Probably a bit of both. My main reflection is that I'm very lucky. Lucky to have caught it when I did, to still be alive as a result, to have been treated by the NHS at such a phenomenal hospital that (@thernohcharity), and with such wonderful people around me. Oh and the hospital food was delicious. Having to confront my mortality is one of the most powerful things I've ever experienced. To really have to think about my life ending and how I'd spend the time I had left. I will always be grateful for that moment. I knew I would do anything to live. I don't believe in God anymore but it was a borderline spiritual experience. It's definitely made me wonder again about whether there is more to life than what we see. The prospect of surgery was terrifying. It was like knowing I was going to be in a car crash, but one that would save my life. I was bracing myself for the intense trauma my body was going to endure. I was scared and I cried a lot. But I knew it was preferable to leaving that tumour in there to destroy me. The recovery was exceptionally painful at times. I cannot believe the levels of pain that the human body can endure without blacking out. I still have a lingering level of pain now but I can totally deal with it in a way that I wouldn't have been able to before. The scale of the agony has totally reframed what I consider to be a bad time. Handy when you're a Forest fan. I've got a few issues as a result of the surgery. I have a stoma, I have to self-catheterise, I've got stress incontinence and I've got erectile dysfunction. But these are all small prices to pay for being alive. Some smaller than others. The main thing is I caught it early. (Relatively. My oncolgist thinks it could have been on my spine for five years, but chordomas are slow growing). The thought of that little fucker being inside me, working against me all that time is weird. Five years! It'd been in there since Theresa May was Prime Minister! You know your own body. If there's something wrong, please get it checked. Whatever it is. Ignoring it won't make it go away. Hopefully you get told that it's nothing, but if it's bad news it's less bad if you catch it early. One huge benefit is that lager tastes incredible. I cannot explain this, but since my operation, lager tastes even more refreshing than it did before. That has not diminished in the last two years. Maybe there is a God.

@TateMayfairs You are literally full of crepe.

I ATE 2 CREPES AT CREPE KING THEY GAVE IT TO ME FOR FREE CAUSE I’M FAMOUS

Have you ever been happier for two people? @ShaneLowryGolf @McIlroyRory - class always tells. In more ways than one. Fair play to Thomas though, not the fault of the American players.

So pleased everyone now has a chance to see this. Been a while in the making. Huge credit to my colleague Ellie for the vision, the time and the hard work put into this.

@joelrossradio Cut to tomorrow night, and it’s you hosting the bingo.

Kill me now

@PureTKC What’s the heel equivalent of Sunshine Machine then? Drizzle Machine? Gloom Appliance? Cloudy Gadgets? The Dull Tools? (Probably not that last one)

@trevor_east Thank you, Trev. Hope you are well.

@Argyle A very good piece, Rob.

Our take on today's win in Lancashire.

@SoCalValerie It will be from cricket. Hitting the ball over the boundary (a bit like a home run) scores you six in cricket. So being ‘knocked for six’ it a metaphor for being hit hard by something.

Another confusing British phrase I’ve overheard that I’m too lazy to google and prefer friends answers: “Knock me for six” …huh? Six what? Pence none the richer?🤔

Saturday’s win at Brentford was special for a lot of people, but it probably meant more to one person in particular. Rob McNichol waxes lyrical about Kevin Nancekivell 👇

@Adam_Pearson Natural babyface

YES! Get in!

This is nice to read. Simon Miller is good people. I love seeing someone positive being happy.

Simply the absolute best I have ever read. No bigger influence on how I would try to write similar pieces. Warmth, humour, intelligence, love for his topic, knowledge, passion. He’ll never be replaced.

@NinaSamuels123 @RiotCabaret Speedy recovery, partner!

Not a notes app 🙃

@HOWrestlingUK What a shame it may be a decade or so until the pay-off.

At the risk of riling up the usual partisan morons…. Burning down one’s childhood home does hit rather harder in the personal hatred stakes than breaking a bracelet….. #AEWDymamite

@TateMayfairs Most heel thing you’ve ever said or done. And think of the competition for that accolade.

I've had a lot of my opinions on life change over time; most recently: Milk before hot water to make a cup of tea
