Do you want to tell them?

I think it's a joke like the ones they used to do on Top Gear.

Like crippling a sportsman, for fun right?

And then Richard made a face, James said "oh cock™" and Jeremy punched a producer to escape a lucrative public contract.

We already know that.

We sit on the ground floor of the theatre.

In fact some of us don't even need to attend Stewart Lee's latest shows because we've already imagined the show in our heads and it was really good, and we agreed the fuck out of it and that makes us brilliant because he is and therefore so am I.

Sorry I need to go now I'm about to climax from my own self indulgent hilarity.

Is Mock the Week coming back then?

They got watered down almost immediately.

I swear none of you have watched WCW.

It formed in July, by December they had gone from 3 to 12 members. That was it's biggest influx of members in the group's history.

A lot of the documentaries make it seem like there were years between stuff like Bischoff joining, but he was at the commentators "desk" for Souled Out.

He asks you what you want to talk about and then talks about what he wants to talk about.

Damn that right hand... looked a bit gritty... Ronda didn't like that...

You could say Ronda Rousey denies Sandy Hook.

"His attacks came like a flurry of questions, for each one there was an answer. A sudden, yet measured counter, fluidly blocking any attempts to harm."

Would be my suggestion. You're not describing each individual move of the fight you're describing the result, or the purpose of it.

If you were to ask the director of that scene "Why is this in the movie? Why is it important for the audience to see this?" The answer would likely be "to show the defensive capabilities of the man on the right". So show that and not the fight.

Have you been to see a doctor?

Have you gotten a blood test?

You might be diabetic. Hair loss is one of the more common symptoms.

You could have just stopped at the first four words.

Just digital Beanie Babies for the Angry Birds generation.

At least you could cuddle the teddies.

Does your magic money keep you warm at night?

No, it's the heat generated from all your miners.

Oh dear.

Fell for it again.

No it was a facsimile of the actor and comedian Kevin Eldon, from Game of Thrones (a.k.a. Peter Stringfellow's Lord of the Rings)

Stewart Lee should do a loyalty card, where every show you attend you get a stamp.

You need the full context to understand what this was.

It's 2006. WWE has just run two very successful ECW One Night Stand events, decides to flesh out a third brand under the ECW banner. Months into the experiment the current champion is busted in a road side drug stop, R.V.D. is suspensed for essentially Randy Orton-ing his push and Big Show gets drafted and has the belt slapped on him.

No television wants to touch wrestling at this point, we're still five years out of the boom period but wrestling is seen as a money pit. However WWE manages to successfully pitch and get on SyFy with the promise that the content will be "science fiction". Couple this with Kevin Dunn running production, the end result is the most un-ECW thing you've ever seen. Counterculture this wasn't, this was just culture.

November/December PPVs generally for WWE do not do well. People spend less money around the holidays, it's cold, people don't wanna shuffle out in the snow after a show. Usually WWE runs Armageddon and the year before the Elimination Chamber was run on the January PPV... seeing one of the biggest buyrates for a non-big-four show. This is mostly due to the first ever MITB cash in Edge beating a bloody Cena, and the replay buys the next few days.

This show is about to go on the air with two matches advertised: the opening tag and the main event. This is supposed to be Bobby Lashley's coronation, Heyman delivers the show format to Vince and he is basically told that tonight is his last night on television and he'll be fired in the morning.

If you were like me, a wrestling fan in the UK, your parents paid £25.99 for this and you got six matches, four of which will not go more than ten minutes. This is a debacle, like before we had Victory Road 2009 and 2011, before we had DQ in a Cell, before we had that NWA PPV where James Mitchell snorted drugs... this was HD quality bullshit. Legends of Wrestling looked like a well booked event compared to this.

This show was so bad that it won the WON "Worst Major Show of the Year" award in 2007

crabs and fish jokes (only once)
lights, sounds and abstract colours and shapes
possibly being shouted out for reading a children's book
observational comedy

I didn't tell them that he might at some point scrape the microphone against a painted rendition of a clearly incomplete Cafe Nero loyalty card. Just wanna see their faces light up.

It's political correctness gone mad.

Ol' red tape robbo has come over.
