It's gone terrible I actually grew out of wrestling really early, I think that by the time I was about 10 years old I'd pretty much stopped watching it, all my mates used to go crazy for the "Attitude" era of Stone Cold and The Rock, I didn't have anything more than a passing interest, I always like Mankind, well Mick Foley character really. I posted in the Wrestling thread the other week that I sat down and watched whole of Royal Rumble 93 again, it was **** great. I've just had a look and the attitude era was from 1997 till 2002, so I'd definitely stopped watching by the time I was 12 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 There was a Japanese guy with red eyes, Kendo Nagasaki, he was at one point Telfords most famous son. His real name was Peter, and was as Japanese as I am. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted May 19, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 19, 2023 The Smiths were a great band, but they've been tainted by Morrissey plumbing ever deeper depths of bellendery. *takes drag of roll up dog end, sips whiskey, slaps a buxom broads arse, adjusts the valve timing on the '59 small block* 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
