Kurt Angle says: "Not two teams I'm familiar with, but Norwich sound cool. I'll go for them." Lawro's prediction: 2-1
Don't tell me you're not familiar with the work of olympic gold medallist and four-time WWE champion Kurt Angle mate?
i think the last time i watched WWF (as it was then called) was about 1992 when hulk hogan, brett the hitman hart, british bulldog and the undertaker were about!! even then i thought it was ****e but my little brother loved it. he had the action figures!
Still do love it mate, awesome entertainment! It's clearly not a sport and never professes to be so it does my head in when people slate it for being "fixed" - so are movies and tv shows believe it or not, they're all made up and scripted but people don't complain about that! That said some of those guys are incredibly talented, despite being loosely scripted the moves they pull off in the ring are real and it takes some effort to drop a 20 stone fella on his head without hurting either of you
I can remember the days of setting the video recorder timer to catch the WCW programme at about 3 in the morning on a Saturday and then a whole group of us re-enacting the moves on the high jump mat next week at school. Ah... great days eh!
I also remember sitting through endless hours of British wrestling on a Saturday lunchtime after getting back from footie practise. Then on very rare occasions they would show WWF and then you were left wondering what is this English pap!!!
I was mortified when my parents told me it was fake. Was all about the Ultimate Warrior back in the day! My mates missus recently worked with Bret the Hitmans Harts brother Bruce out in Canada, sounded like an interesting chap from what I heard.
