I hope his gimmick is that he's a Goalkeeper and he comes down in full GK kit but with a steel plate in his gloves or something

 

BAH GAWD THAT DASTARDLY GERMAN IS AT IT AGAIN KING, SOMEONE STOP THE DAMN MATCH

[Acid]

Long shot I know since the show isn't even sold out, but I have a ticket for NXT in Liverpool on Wednesday, does anyone want to take it off my hands? £100 face value. Third row from ringside.

[Paulie Dangerously]

I admit to only a passive following in wrestling these days but can anyone explain to me the logic behind wiping out years of building up Brock to be a monster, the beast incarnate etc by having Goldberg beat him in a few minutes after not wrestling for ages?

 

Presumably Goldberg isn't going to be returning to the roster week by week, like Lesnar.  If there was going to be someone who would defeat him you'd think they'd want it to be a guy they could push every week.  Maybe I'm out of touch.  Where's the repo man anyway?

[Total Longo]

To be fair, Lesnar only shows for the PPVs as far as i can see.

That's what I mean.  I don't understand why it wasn't someone who is going to be there every week who knocked him off his perch

[Scott_M]

I thought this on Goldberg as well so try and find out... 

 

Goldberg hadn't really trained for the match and when he did, got a shoulder injury. Instead of cancel, the decision was taken to make a 'squash' match where Goldberg catches Lesnar cold and finish him early. They are allegedly having a rematch at the Royal Rumble or WM.

[Total Longo]

ah the Royal Rumble, Paulie. 

 

Antics and scenes.

Save the 5 on 5 mens match I thought Survivor Series was awful personally.

Fuck that guy.

 

Also, why does he get a statement from the WWE after the stuff he's done? What a weird company they are.

Flicking through Twitter and see Randy Orton wins the Royal Rumble.

 

How boring.

He battered his girlfriend to death.

Fucking hell never knew that. Not surprising that loads of ex wrestlers are dead or psycho given the shit they used to pump into themselves back then.

[Lee909]

Its obviously allegedly but seems very likely

Triple H won it last year, and Batista won it a few years ago. Next year, it'll be Cena or The Rock. The WWE are nothing if not progressive.

[Furmedge]

I've not seen WWE in years. I was up last night doing some work and managed to grab a stream. The first match was two lady wrestlers and there was no jelly so I turned it off.

[Bjornebye]

I used to love it as a kid. Ultimate warrior, the hitman hart, tatanka... the barbarian.... now they mostly have normal names and stuff. Bore off and bring back papa shango

[Lee909]

I see your Papa Shango and raise you a Kamala the Ugandan giant (only a very so slightly racist gimmick) of an African wild man that had a group of mask white handlers and spoke no english

Got most of these in Hasbro figures kicking around - no Barbarian, don't even think he had a figure, and only have Smash from Demolition (the guy later went on to become Repo Man, who also has a figure)

[The Golden Eel]

Kamala had a book out recently, lost both his legs to diabetes, I think

[Lee909]

I have the majority of the hasbro figures
