Isn't the rumour that he's starred in a few homemade transexual porn films in his time? Or did everyone believe his line about just giving them a lift somewhere in his car? Also, not seven days ago Reed was applauding the Miz for his fantastic willingness to sell out. And now he's castigating Eddie Murphy for the same thing. Isn't it coincidental? Don't you think?

If they'd planned KO's title win properly in advance, they'd have had his sideplates ready to go on the belt right away. In fact, he should complain about that next week.

I remember in 1993, when Ric Flair was returning to WCW, Ventura and Schiavone were discussing Flair. And they said something along the lines of "When you look at RicFlair, ultimately if you take away the charisma, if you take away the Lear Jets and the Limousines, take away the Rolex watches and designer suits, take away the biggest house on the big side of town, take away the music and the ring robe, take away the interviews, take all the razzmatazz away and what are you left with? Probably the best bell to bell Wrestler in the history of the sport". With Miz, you take all that away and ultimately you have a bad Wrestler who has bad matches. And in all that time he's been scratching and clawing his way to the top and being a company man and all that bollocks, he never did bother to learn how to have a good Wrestling match, let alone a great one.

So it's not OK for Bryan to criticise Miz' choices, but it is OK for Miz to criticise Bryan's?

I read in the paper that one of Dan Craig's stunt doubles from Skyfall and Spectre was in Australia shooting Thor 3. They asked him which of the movie's stars should be the next Bond. He said Chris Hemsworth.

Weren't you banned before?

That's why Maul came back (with robot legs) in the Clone Wars series.

When they first signed CM Punk, they said they'd be calling him Phil 'CM Punk' Brooks. But now it seems like his fake wrestling name is his true Nomme de Guerre now. Which fair enough, it's the name he's best known under, and obviously there's plenty of Brazilians and Japanese who have fought under nicknames in the UFC... but it still feels a bit odd that he's not using his real name for his real fight.

Lauzon was robbed!

Snow's in TNA. He's an agent and manager, he's promoting his Wrestlig School in London by managing a couple of French lads who used to be at the WWE performance centre.

It's partly the fact that the races are won and lost in the garages by the engineers before a driver even touches the car. It's partly that the sport is really fucking boring to watch. It's partly the Ecclestone corruption issue. And it's partly the 'If you can smoke while doing it, it's not a sport' principle. Which counts out Golf and Darts as well.

The last thing I did before I went to bed last night was deliver a high priority vehicle. The first thing I did when I woke up was check my Daily Objectives. Hold up a Store, Participate in a Sea Race, and Deliver a Simeon Car. Which I had to wait like 16 hours before he'd even tell me what he wanted. Benefactor Serranos have a low top speed, slow acceleration, a big turning circle, a narrow wheelbase and a high centre of gravity. They roll onto their sides really bloody easily if you try to turn at speed, or if you brake while turning. As such, it's not very easy to escape a wanted level in one. And you get a wanted level for entering any car Simeon wants. I did manage it. Wasn't much fun, but I did it. If only I'd found a Patriot first.

Chris Jericho talking about not liking Lesnar's shooting style... four years ago:

Heh:

Piper was a special case though, like Eddy. Even as a babyface, he's still a rogueish dirty fighter. When you say moves that only a babyface should do, you're mean an archetypal surfer boy Sting guy.

Yup, same team two years in a row. Brendan Rogers' losing streak in European away fixtures now stands at eight. Anyone see Celtic squeaking a draw to stop it in the group stages? Or winning a home game, for that matter?

If you bring everything back to the Roland Barthes (oversimplifying) hypothesis that the overarching myth of Pro-Wrestling is the clash between the simple, brutalist machismo side of the masculine identity, and the exhibitionistic, showy, camp 'effeminised' form of the masculine identity, Miz is clearly doing a fantastic job of embodying the Fancy Dan archetype. And being awful in the ring, wrestling in a 'don't hit me in the face' style, is (consciously or unconsciously) a great way of playing into that archetype. But there's a disconnect, because he likes to act tough, to let people know how tough he is. And when you're playing the pansy, it should always be clear that your tough guy act is an act - that when you try to act tough with someone who actually is, you get scared and back down. And Miz doesn't do that. He tries to go 50/50 with guys who should spend most of the match working him over before Miz sneaks a win he doesn't deserve.

He'll be dropping it to Austin Creed soon enough anyway.

There was a Sid fan in my GTA lobby earlier today. His PSN was PhyscoSid5150. Physco. Bloody Fisco. Pillock.

He could have died on his feet. But he chose to live on his knees instead.

He was (badly miscast) in the first X-Men film.

Not much odd about that though. The natural human response to seeing a small space with a door like that is to wonder how many people you can fit in one. It's one of those things like Backyard Wrestling, most people who did it thought they'd invented it.Including the Sex Pistols: This is more professional though:

Aren't they all TV titles at this point? The days of "You want to see the World Champion? Buy a ticket" came to an end long, long ago.

Yes, Offspring thought it was so ridiculous he decided he'd pretend to be one for a bit. He's gimmick posting.
