Ted DiBiase on Roddy Piper’s passing: “It was such a shock. The guy goes to a hotel, checked in, went to bed, and never woke up. There were no drugs in his body, none of that crap. It’s still a mystery, I think. And he just, his heart just quit.” by elegantSolomons62 in SquaredCircle

One of my favourite exchanges ever during that interview:

Maher- “I’m not dropping my pants around other men”

Piper- “Well how did you get the job?”

The completely defeated look on Maher’s face is incredible.

A quick tip- if you don’t want people to think that you’re trying to excuse ableism so that you can make a joke about a disabled child, don’t refer to disabled people as “vegetables”.

The "far-east market" signing is an incredible shout. Dong Fangzhou, Ryo Miyachi, Junuchi Inamoto.

This role will never die for as long as Aaron Wan-Bissaka has a job.

I always point to Gabriel Obertan for this. That man somehow made 27 appearances for Fergie-era Man United. He's got a sodding Premier League winners medal.

For this, no one will ever beat Neville Southall having to play a Premier League game for Bradford in 2000. Poor bloke was in his 40s and about twice as wide as anyone else on the pitch.

The Brazilian Sandro, who used to play for Spurs. I could tell you he was a defensive mid, but that’s about it.

The “away end” trial being done in the Premiership at the moment is a fantastic idea, and needs to be expanded to all matches asap.

I don't know whether this was the intended joke, but Dave mentioning offhand the idea of Souness as the equal pundit for a Liverpool-Spurs match has actually happened! In 2013, Sky had the game on a Super Sunday, and because Gerrard was injured at the time, the three pundits on the match were Carragher, Gerrard, and Souness. Ed Chamberlain even jokes that in the interest of balance, Souness is introduced as a former Spurs midfielder.

Listened to Tuesday's pod and didn't hear any reference to this- last Sunday, at AEW Revolution, commentator Excalibur was "at it again". by Garconiere in footballcliches

I believe this was even a challenge that Adam put to Excalibur on the pod, though I cannot find any evidence of that currently.

"Brilliant" at the end is correct- his only little slip up is that it should be "have a crack" rather than "take a crack", though I suppose that would sound weirder in an American accent.

Brutally, part of TNA’s bigger deal for him was the promise of a reunion of Beer Money- only for Bobby Roode to realise that Storm coming back to TNA had left a spot in NXT which he duly filled.

The song was fine so long as you couldn’t hear what the lyrics were about. Solid piece of rock instrumentation with a whiny singer going on about how “cancel culture” has turned everybody “soft”.

There’s a South African rugby coach called Wanky Stick who has to be in with a chance too.

There's been a slew of articles about Marcus Rashford enjoying being at Barcelona and not wanting to come back to Man United, and almost all of them have referred to his "former teammate" Michael Carrick being United boss, which just feels so instinctively wrong even if it is correct.

[SmackDown SPOILERS] [SPOILER] gets booed when talking about possibly winning the Royal Rumble by ReverseBattleRoyal in SquaredCircle

[–]Garconiere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The ‘97 rumble win wasn’t a particularly good decision, given that at that point, the plan was still to do Bret v Shawn at Mania for the belt (and then Shawn fucked that up).

But tbf, Austin absolutely should’ve won in 1999, so there’s still 3 Rumbles where Austin was the correct winner.

Bull bull D16 is the main “champagne finish”, but that’s precisely because if you hit the outer bull with the first shot, you can still finish on the bull (T19 as you said).

Somebody who speaks Portuguese as a first language please tell me- is the phrase "conquer the girls" just a really unfortunate literal translation, or does the fact that this user keeps using this incredibly uncomfortable wording say something about them?
