I'd like to hear from an angry NotJayTabb for balance, please.

Brookes has done some fun stuff in TXW, had a great team/feud with Tyler Bate (WHo I think is currently still only about 19). Here they are tagging against the AWESOME Henchmen. And here's The Henchmen vs James Mason and Mike Peace from TXW sister promotion AMP, which is a bit more family friendly.

Mught be worth merging this thread with http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/27934-modern-wrestling-in-the-uk Anyway, in the most important news of all, TXW is returning in August. They're based in Coventry and it's the most fun promotion in the whole entire world. They also have had some blinders there in the past. Danielson vs ZSJ being a major highlight. It was pretty much ZSJ's home promotion a few years back.

Al Green was worse than the both of them I say.

Richard Burton, Richard Harris, Oliver Reed. They're my triple threat of acting champions. Honourable mentions for Mills, Gielgud and Olivier.

Ron Fuller has an amazing chopper apparently.

This one doesn't share the old one's lineage, I think. So it's right in a way.

We don't know the cause of death yet. Hold fire.

Big Brian Adams vs Steve McMichael at Road Wild 1998 is the drizzling shits. It takes a lot to be the worst match on that card, but the former leader of the worst stable in wrestling history in the DOA and the man who dresses his dog carry it off with aplomb. It's so bad that it becomes hilarious, and then managed to get even worse in order to transcend that to be the worst thing to happen in wrestling since the Pongo vs Super Ninja match in Herb Abrams' UWF.

So , Evolve is a developmental for developmental now? They getting cuts off WWE for people who get signed from them or something?

Urgh, he's such an arse. I second your notion.

Come on Amy Weber! Or Joy Giovanni! It's hard to choose between those two colossus of 2004 SD. But then again, Candice Michelle had the best theme song in wrestling history. So she wins. Giovanni comes second. 2000s Divas music is the Dog's Bollocks.

Yeah, I really don't get Enzo and Cass. Don't know what it is but the act really doesn't sit well with me.

Yeah, I watched it in The Bierkeller in Liverpool and my experience was pretty similar other than the place being cray cray for HHH and shitting all over Reigns. Also there was a bunch of cunts dressed like Mick Foley, one tried to socko me. Arsehole. Most finishes shocked the people there, and I'm not sure if that was in a good or a bad way. It was fun to watch it in a loud and boozy atmosphere though. I'd wager I'd have hated it far more if I was watching it in my wanking chariot on a stream from Cricfree.

How can the British Bulldogs sound just so right and perfect, and the American Wolves sound like shit filtered through an STI?

I think that might be more to play towards members of the current audience who were teens at the time. He was was 12 in 1998, is 30 in 2016. And they're probably looking at them probably having more 30 year old fans than ones in their 40s, especially on social media and at shows and such. Just trying to tap into teenage nostalgia.

I'll take that over 90% of things in wrestling. Or even better, that one week he turned up in 99 as Krusher Khruschev.

Vicious and Delicious wins this at a canter. That name is perfect in just about every single way.

Just watched the Morton Downey Jr episode on Pro Wrestling again. It's essentially a cacophony of arseholes screaming and shouting over Jim Wilson who was totally overmatched by Dr D Dave Schultz being Dave Schultz (which, to be fair is awesome. Not much beats Dr D cutting a total bastard promo in full flight). The only person on Wilson's side is T-Bolt Patterson, but unfortunately Patterson is Patterson and comes off more like a carny than someone rightfully pointing out racial injustice in wrestling. Tony Altomare appears, Dennis Coralluzo, Larry Sharpe, Captain Lou, and Paul E. They all come off like dicks. But no-one more than TED FUCKING ARCIDI of all people, who rips into T-Bolt for not getting the opportunities he may well should have had because he "wasn't a draw". That's TED FUCKING ARCIDI calling Thunderbolt Patterson not a draw. The audience seems to be made of every deluded, angry and seemingly drunk mark in the Tri-State area. It's still real to them. And seemingly it is to chainsmoking arsehole Morton Downey Jr too. It's an hilarious 45 minutes of television.

As much as he bores me rigid, I could see Randy Orton being a wet dream for many a booker.

Kanye's stone cold Steve Austin. Dude's hilarious.

Mosley's father was Britain's most notable ever fascist Oswald Mosley, Max was always going to end up being a bit "odd" - odd being a bit of an understatement there. But yeah, Ecclestone's a pocket sized mega bastard.

Was any wrestler ever shitter than Al Green?

They kind of did at 6, if you count Warrior vacating the IC on account of winning the World Heavyweight.

When Rubinho let Schumi through? To be honest, I thought that was absolutely fucking hilarious. It wasn't going to be Barrichello's first career win though. His first victory was at Hockenheim in 2000. The A-1 Ring incident happened 2 years later. The title wasn't locked up that season yet either as it was only a few races into the 16 race season. Team orders are team orders, and Schumi's the number one driver. I've no issue with team orders in F1. I fucking love Schumi. He's a badass.
