@ocampoxlaw It really bothers me so much there's a certain thing called ring rust You could be in ring shape but if you're not bumping and running and gunning every night yeah you're going to have ring rust relax

Paige solo tiene 33 años, pero verla luchar hoy es como ver a André el Gigante en sus últimos años. Duro de ver.

Is it just me, or was there a definitely nasty undertone to Fat Les's "Vindaloo"? As in, a bunch of wealthy, middle class guys having a good old sneer at working class culture. Has a totally different vibe than "Three Lions", which, whatever you think of it, was at least sincere.

Released in June 1998, “Vindaloo” became one of the defining unofficial anthems of the 1998 World Cup. Created by Fat Les, featuring Keith Allen, Blur’s Alex James and Damien Hirst, it reached number two in the UK behind “3 Lions 98” and turned terrace-chant nonsense into a full national singalong.

@TripleHHHPaulL Kidnapped and next segment had his wife on the mic with no reference to it. Tony needs to work on his storyboards

Alvarez is going to eventually have a stroke from working with Dave.

You can start by telling your own partners in crime to not make their gimmicks doing exactly what you are claiming here and clearly what they set out to do and what I didn't set out to do at all.

No. How can you not see this? When you do this, you annoy, anger, and upset a segment of fans who support NXT. And you know what they turn around and do? Take it out on the person you complimented bedside they dislike you or what you said. Is that fair to the person you complimented? Usually you do this to adults and I either leave it alone or message you privately about it. But this time you did it to a 14 year old kid. Now there will be a corner of the internet that will always hold what YOU said against HIM. I respect your work and contributions to the industry more than most. But be better Dave. Stop tearing down the young men and women trying to learn their craft and get better in front of a global television audience. And for goodness sake, learn to compliment a 14 year old young man without making things harder for him.

Rate Jake “The Snake” Roberts overall as a performer on a Scale 1-10.

@LeeHAuthor If I remember right some of the french channels like RTL aired WCW and they were on my sky channel list in the UK around that time. Still sounds dubious voting figures though
English
@DK_Able I’m from England and have been to a few of the USA states. I’ve been to several European countries. I know far more about USA states than I ever will about European countries

@SkytelWrestling You mean MJF draws and Hangman doesn’t. Bret and Sting drew, but not as much as Flair. Then Hangman exists

AEW doing a $1 Million gate for Revolution on Sunday means that the average ticket price is around $83 or so.

1995 WCW. Here we got Flair and Sherri. Hogan, Jimmy Hart and Mr. T. Shaq and Nick Bockwinkel. Randy Anderson, Tony Schiavone, Bobby Heenan. Look at the whole presentation with Michael Buffer doing the ring intros. It felt like a big time boxing match.

@franktankdk @HappHazzard @ClintonDavey Yes, as soon as there was any sign of blood the BBFC slapped a 15 or 18 on it. Which is strange considering how keen everyone was to tell you that wrestling was a “sham sport” and “staged”.
English
It blows my mind that the BBFC rated WrestleMania 13 an 18, putting it in the same bracket as Trainspotting, Pulp Fiction, or Seven.
English
@HappHazzard @ClintonDavey @LeeHAuthor It was a 15. I doubt it was because of the Elizabeth skirt thing. The show recapped Ron Bass attacking Brutus Beefcake who bled a lot. They put one of those ineffective red X sensors over it
English
@ClintonDavey @LeeHAuthor They had to make it a higher rating because of Elizabeth taking off her skirt which was scandalous at the time.

@TheBlind_Duck @80sWrestling_ When he put Bret over as IC champion at Summerslam’91 it was pivotal to the business. Making him world champion before then wouldn’t have worked, he wasn’t THAT guy. He was incredible though
English
@80sWrestling_ I mainly saw him as an intercontinental champion or even a tag team champion if they had paired him correctly.
English
Who would have liked to have seen Mr. Perfect really hold that WWF World Heavyweight Title?
English
@allan_cheapshot Wrestling in the UK was very popular with the older generation going back a few decades. Both my nans were fans of it and would go to local events. I didn’t realise the American stuff was popular with them too, maybe ‘93 was filling a void after the Big Daddy era

#OnThisDay in 1993: WCW: G-Mex Arena, Manchester:
Camera's went to speak to people in Manchester to see who their favourites were.

@franktankdk @WrestlingMark16 "His star ratings transcend preference" no they don't lol the star ratings are literally just his opinion not fact as to whether a match is good or not.
English
Do people never think with Dave Meltzer…
It’s not bias, he just watches both companies for a living - and anyone who has watched them both objectively over the last year would lean heavily to the much better product?

@FNEWIRTHIV @gravitate007 @sciencegirl I used to take my whole PC round a mate’s house so I could connect to his and play 2 player

@gravitate007 @sciencegirl Oh hell yes. My first modem to modem game.

For those who used a computer between 1995 and 2001, what's the computer game from that time that sticks with you the most, and why
English
@WrestlingMark16 @stevenfilms1998 It’s a bit of both probably. He prefers AEW’s style to WWE and he lets that run away from him a bit in both directions. His star ratings transcend preference
English
Then it’s more preference than bias
I show bias 100%, I think WWE are an abhorrent company and enjoy ridiculing the state they’re in creatively and the large chunks of the fanbase who are pretty abysmal people
He is a journalist, he gave WWE promotion of the year in 2023 when they were hot and AEW was not. He gave it them again in 2024 too, which I think is farcical because it was crap post Mania
