  1. It was 1995, the UFC was full of guys who'd invented their own Martial Arts. So he was using Duggan-Fu.
  2. WCW Uncensored 1995, Meng vs Jim Duggan in a 'Martial Arts Match', with Sonny Onoo as guest ref, because WCW.
  3. I'd definitely favour Blackpool over Rhyl. You've got enough time in Wales already. And William Regal isn't from Rhyl If you're thinking Northern England rather than the South (because you said nothing about London), try Yorkshire rather than Lancashire. Leeds is a good city.
  4. Champions should only do non-title fights if they're off weight. If you're the Champion at 185, and someone beats you at 185, you're not the Champion, are you? Besides which, if it's not happening for six months and then it's not for the title, you're basically giving it most/all of a year without the belt being defended (unless Bisping does defend it in the Summer, before he fights GSP).
  5. It does seem a little odd that GSP's reach is half an inch longer, when Bisping is 4 inches taller and has a larger frame. I wouldn't be surprised if Bisping's jab range is further than GSP's, even if the fingertip to fingertip measurement is shorter.
  6. Everyone who's looking forward to seeing Iwan Rheon in Inhumans, please tell me you've watched Misfits.
  7. No, all you need is a friend with the rule book and access to a photocopier. Then you just buy a big piece of cardboard, cut it into pieces the size of the character bases, and write on them what figure it's representing. Only an idiot or a showoff buys all the figures.
  8. If Bisping wins, he can legitimately claim to have beaten the best Middleweight of all time, and the best Welterweight of all time. Which would make him the greatest pound for pound fighter in the history of our great sport, or something.
  9. Well, that's the thing with athlete retirements. They tend to lack permanence.
  10. Every European male called Alex does. Any Fule Kno That.
  11. 'El Bandito' Orig Williams, Reslo promoter. Tony St Clair, Reslo champion. (nb: Reslo was a Welsh Wrestling show on S4C, which is a Welsh language TV channel. It was on long after the British Wrestling was taken off telly in the rest of the UK. They'd also get tapes of shows from Germany and add Welsh commentary, so when I lived in Swansea (1993-94) I had Masa Chono and 2 Cold Scorpio showing up on my telly). Here's some of what it looked like:
  12. I didn't know they were this far along on Mutant Football League (not Mutant League Football).

    Get Out

    I heard about that review. Apparently to people who've read it, they question whether or not he actually saw the movie before or after he wrote most of it... or if at least paid any attention while he was watching it.
  14. I never looked hard enough at those card games to see if there was any strategy involved, it just looked like whoever spent the most money buying the best cards tended to win. Whereas anyone with eyes can see that Warhammer has strong tactical elements (to go along with the buckets of dice) involving troop deployment and attack strategies and so forth.
  15. And here's the full trailer for Alien: Covenant: You know how you couldn't really tell if Evil Dead 2 was a sequel to the Evil Dead, or a remake of it? Yeah, that.
  16. Khabib Nurmagomedov's father won't be in his corner, as he was denied a visa to enter the USA. Although twenty years ago, he did arrange for his son to Wrestle a bear for his ninth birthday:
  17. So, are Telltale games plotted on the 'All roads lead to Rome' plan? Y'know, where you have a moral choice where you can exile someone, kill them or keep them with you (either as a prisoner, or as free and forgiven), but whatever you choose they end up escaping so they can do the exile storyline (and almost certainly come back as our nemesis later)? Because this Walking Dead game certainly feels like that.
  18. He was saying collecting Magic cards is stupid though. He likes Baseball cards. When I was in Swansea (more than two decades ago), a few of the LARP guys I knew said they played cards on Thursdays. I assumed that by that, they meant Poker. It was a mistaken assumption. It's the only time I've seen anyone playing Magic. Couldn't make head or tail of any of it. It looked like a load of bollocks.
  19. I never got why people would play those Magic: The Gathering card games. In a world that already had D&D and all the character-based tabletop RPGs, and Warhammer and all the tabletop wargames, why would you choose to play something that's not as interesting as either? Not to mention it's pay to win.
  20. Has David Moyes always had no eyebrows, or did they fall out somehow?
  21. @Curt McGirt Ronda Rousey is dating Travis Browne. Browne's ex-Wife alleged the abuse around the same time he left her/ took up with Ronda.
