Has anyone got any opinions on Sabu's book?

Hope No Time To Die carries the baton on.
Roger Moore's 1st, 3rd and 5th Bond films were great, 2nd, 4th and 6th poor, he ruined the sequence by having a poor 7th film though with View to a Kill.

4th Bond movie to have "die" in the title taking the lead over "gold" which is in the title of 3 movies. I wish they'd be more original.

How come Big Bully Busick wasn't around for long? I remember him getting a lot of coverage in the magazine, had a TV feud with Neidhart then squashed by Sid and was gone in a matter of months.
I really thought this character had a lot of mileage
Harvey Wippleman came in at the same time and is still there 28 years later.

Going back to Magnum, I think he'd have ended up jumping to the WWF in late 88/89 when Tully, Arn, JJ, Dusty and Windham all did. I think they'd have changed his name (well, the "Magnum" part anyway, he might have kept T.A.) and given him a biker gimmick, with him riding a motorcycle to the ring.

What's the story about Harley Race wrestling C3PO in Mexico?

Which of the NZ team should be allowed to keep possession of the prestigious WWE replica championship?

How come Cricket isn't big in Canada anyway? The only British commonwealth country where it isn't a major sport. Proximity to America, and baseball I guess?

First ever Super over in cricket World Cup final and first ever final set tie break in Wimbledon mens final, both happening at the same time, mere miles apart.

Had Tenta wrestled in the US before becoming Earthquake? I always remember him as being the first Hogan opponent who seemed to be a WWF creation as opposed to someone who I was aware of from elsewhere first. None of the mags AFAIK covered the Vancouver territory.

Do all the Crowbar Press releases eventually come out on kindle? I used to buy the physical books from the site but the shitty exchange rate and the increased shipping cost make it too expensive nowadays.

Were Killer Tim Brooks or Buck Robley ever babyfaces? Maybe early in their careers I guess.
British wrestling tended to have very few turns. Jim Breaks and Fit Finlay were only ever heels as far as I know. Giant Haystacks and Kendo Nagasaki too although they feuded in the early 90s and I think Haystacks was the nominal babyface in that he generally had the crowds support. Nagasaki was cheered out of nostalgia most of the time in the 90s on.

There was a WWE House show in the same venue as a snooker tournament on BBC TV once and you could clearly hear the ring announcer, music and crowd etc in the silence during the snooker game. The players complained and got them to turn up the fans (the cooling down kind) to drown out the noise.

Trailer for the upcoming live action remake of the 1980s "Dungeons & Dragons" cartoon:
(not really, it's a car commercial from Brazil, but pretty cool nonetheless)

This is going head to head with the Champions League final. I guess we will find out if Dana was right when he said UFC would soon be bigger than soccer.

RIP. Bizarrely, the Mighty Quinn and Big Daddy once appeared in the comic strip "Billy the Fish" (which was about a fish that played as goalkeeper for a football team) in Viz comic.

There was another Keith Hart who was a black guy who did jobs for WCW. They probably changed his name while Owen was in the promotion briefly.

I used to work at a holiday camp where Roy Bevis wrestled every week (as the Zebra Kid). He teamed with another wrestler called the Canary Kid. They wrestled an assortment of heels, always following the same format. Both babyfaces wrestled singles matches against their opponents, with the other heel coming in and cheating to win. After the second match the babyfaces challenged the heels to an "impromptu" tag match after the interval which the faces won sending the kids home happy.
They had a merch stand set-up selling knock-off WWF t-shirts and posters etc, as well as inflatable hammers that the kids could use to beat the heels with then they got thrown out of the ring.

I'm sure Liger has eaten such fare before, but not since he worked for All-Star over here over 30 years ago.

If the whole "Plan B" thing had gone public back in 1979, would Bob Orton have had his spot in the early expansion era of the WWF, and would Randy Orton have become the major star he became in the 00s?

"Russian Nightmare" Nikita Koloff seemed to be ready-made as a Hogan foe in the late 1980's. Very surprised he never jumped over for a run with Hogan.
Did Koloff get a good guaranteed contract before Crockett got into trouble? He was wise to stay IMO. WWF would have had Hogan squash him on SNME just to prove Hogan's superiority over Flair.

I assume Liger is still on it for the 29th year straight. Or did he miss a year when he had the brain tumour?
