Lol ……but no, I agree, they must think “Oh f**k off, I’ve never heard that one before” lol He also grabbed hold of 007 Sean Connery at a golf club out in Portugal or Spain and was going to give him a hiding for being a rude c**t but Forsyth and Tarbuck calmed the whole situation down and sent over a bottle of champagne with their apologies ! He may have been 007 but he wasn’t born in Brockley ! Lol Nasser Hussain England cricket captain 20 odd year ago...rude obnoxious wanker... He was another regular at the hotel...one night he rocks up...its gone midnight and he wants our valet parking to take his car...problem is the valet service finished at midnight and they were an outside contract company as our hotel had no parking cos it's bang in the city centre....now the poor night manageress was trying to do everything for him even offered to move the few staff cars that were parked in the tiny loading bay...but no it wasn't good enough for him.....this back and forth went on for a few minutes with the manageress being apologetic etc...all the time I'm stood there next to her...wanting to drag the c**t outside and stomp all over face...of course I couldn't...but honestly what an absolute wanker 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kendo Nagasaki springs to mind also my grandparents were mad on it aswell. my nana who owned a B&B in Rhyl in the 60s and 70s used to take me to see the wrestling when i was a kid in a cabaret bar called Tito's, i wasn't particularly into the wrestling but she took me because she loved it and was one of them women that would get up and shout at the baddies and try and hit them with her hand bag even as a kid i remember being embarrassed by it ,she was your typical northern land lady from Stockport Edited September 12 by greg64 2 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He says when he was England captain he wasn't a nice person, drank too much, suffered from depression and had a gut problem caused by stress. He says there was this bloke in a hotel who always wound him up. He said he resembled Shrek. He said his irritation with Shrek made him bully other hotel staff. Well the first part was true.lol Edited September 12 by jukel123 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He had a mean streak and world champion boxing ability. His brother was manager of Carlisle Utd. He had an aggressive side to him too. Maybe the wrestler in a telephone box. There’s a well known story that when roddy was out on a night out one of the younger players gave him a pasting 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
THE STIFFMEISTER 15,635 Posted September 12 Report Share Posted September 12 21 hours ago, big feet said: Ended up down a wrestling rabbit hole on YouTube as you do, with the algorithm I've been watching tons of clips on it. I was a massive fan of the WWF in the 80's & 90's, I even got to see it in 92 at Sheffield. I was a big fan of them all, Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, Macho Man, Bret Hart, Roddy Piper, even the manager Bobby Heenan was hilarious. Anyway, watching the interviews of the old wrestlers, you have to respect their careers, yes it's predetermined but no way in hell is it fake. They are tough SOB's and with all the steroids and drugs, their careers and lives were often short. Regarding feuds and storylines, I'm still not sure whether they were/are all genuine, the Montreal Screwjob springs to mind, was it a work or not? Some of their stories are great, Andre drinking over 100 beers, the Macho Man was that paranoid about the cobra that bit him being venomous he insisted Jake Roberts let it bite him first, Steve Austin getting his neck broken by Owen Hart and still carrying on with the match, beats watching Eastenders. I love wrestling still do to this day , one of mates will text me or shout over the street ..”oh you didn’t know !” There’s only one superstar though . the original styling and profiling , jet flying , limousine riding , kiss stealing , wheeling and dealing , son of a gun. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jukel123 7,957 Posted September 12 Report Share Posted September 12 (edited) The bushwackers for me. Ugly, double crossing, cheating, retards. I really identified with them. My other favourite was Mankind. Poor b*****d had been abused as a kid, trusted no_one and lived in basements with only the heating ducts for warmth and company. I watched Stone Cold Steve Austin reach out to him one episode. He offered his hand in friendship, said Mankind only had to trust him and they would be an unbeatable tag team. Mankind inched forward to Austin whimpering like a dog. Closer, closer until he finally stood up and looked Austin in the eye. They shook hands with the crowd roaring approval. Then Stone Cold head butted him. Poor Mankind fell to the ground, writhing in agony. The crowd was up in arms going absolutely apeshit. I was too. Angry and concerned for Mankind's mental health. Then I laughed like f**k at my reaction. I'd momentarily forgotten it was pantomime. Lol Edited September 12 by jukel123 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So as a punishment, Collins made the squad run-through Carlisle shopping centre to humiliate them. Counter productive! He was reputed to be a bully. Pleased he got a hiding.
