"There goes Sheamus, fightin' all the way from Temple Bar... there's something about those Irish - They love to fight, Maggul!... The Irish Won the 6 National with a fightin' spirit like Sheamus'... Fighting Sheamus loves a brawl.... Irish... Fight... Maggul..."

I like JBL more than I should, but I cringe every time he mentions the Irish.

I lol'd that he was asking for a stream and someone trolled him about PPV streams :pac:

On the subject of wrestlers on the tweet machine, William Regal isn't impressed with smarks using carny lingo.

And while I'm at it,please don't ask me questions in wrestling lingo.Unless you're a pro you come off like a mug.

Yeah one of the most respected people in wrestling looks a mug because he still takes it seriously.If you listen to interviews he doesn't like that everyone knows the inner working of the business.

Then Lance Storm, F4WOnline biweekly radio show guest agreed with him.

Then every insecure indy worker on the planet did.

People should respect performers and Regal is in the elite of his profession but too many Wrestlers do act like they had a Phd in Psychology or something when really they just learnt how to fall backwards while tucking their chin.

I wholeheartedly agree with this but the way Regal comes off is very old school and on Austins podcast you could tell he felt a bit uncomfortable talking about stuff which any of us wouldn't think twice about discussing.

couldn't care less what Storm has to say haven't listened to his show in months and stopped following him on twitter cause he's one of the most negative ****ers you could come across,same goes to any random indy guy but i can see where someone with Regal's mindset is coming from.

It's still real to him dammit!

Takes it seriously? He kissed Vince McMahon's arse. Erm, once more: he pressed his lips against Vince McMahon's arse. C'mon. He works in a wrestling company with people who have been waffling on for years about how the WWE is just like movies or TV shows with scripts, characters, actors, producers etc. and he gets miffed about someone using insider terms. It's ridiculous particularly since there's a whole cottage industry that has built up around wrestlers making money from books or DVD interviews revealing the inside workings of the business. The cat is out of the bag I'm afraid.

And uh, yeah I would talk to a plumber using plumbing terms - erm, pipes and water? - or use the correct lingo when speaking to a doctor about related matters, ask Steven Spielberg about camera setups etc.

I can see his point. Like if I were meeting Regal and someone in front of me said "Oh hi, Darren", it'd be embarrassing. I guess it depends on the level of intelligence & context though - like "Do you think Drew McIntyre could be a draw if he was pushed?" would be fine but "Ugh Cena job?! Nah he's working da sheetz, gas gone to his brian lol" would be a crime against both wrestling and English.

I don't think he means fans who know its predetermined. Its more the twats who use the lingo to wrestlers despite never being in the business, or use real names to the wrestlers just because they read it on Wikipedia.

And you can ask a doctor what the issue is with your kidney, or why you're peeing blood. You're unlikely to ask him how severe is your case of streptococcal glomerulonephritis, basing his answer on how high your enzyme levels are, just because you read a report on kidney diseases online.

He's a professional wrestler, not a medical doctor!! They're not even close to comparable. It's not terribly difficult to understand. I like him but he needs to get real.

The context here is someone asked him on Twitter if he botched a move in a match with Punk, then he got pissy and said he doesn't know what a botch is, then said people who use insider terms are mugs.

mayordenis · 18-03-2014 4:54pm

Regal is basically talking through his hole, firstly something like botch is a pretty generic term. Secondly on the names argument, if you went to a Q&A or meet and greet or seomthing with say an actor would you use the name of the character they play? No. No you would not.

I like him but this is making him seem like a pissy moany old foagy.

Second I saw that, I immediately thought of AJ Lee. Looking back at her storylines with Punk and Daniel Bryan, or Dolph Ziggler and the fact that she's been made to look like a sl*t who sleeps around to get what she wants, and to the top it seems.

I would say women in general are portrayed poorly in WWE.

WWE has some new show ideas for the Network, but one is better than all the rest put together.

http://www.wrestlezone.com/news/461999-wwe-proposes-8-new-reality-shows-for-the-wwe-network

Blackman's Bounties – Former WWE star and legit badass Steve Blackman reality series following his bounty hunting team based out of Harrisburg, PA. Think Dog the Bounty Hunter.

NXT: Behind the Scenes – A reality series following the talents trying to make it out of the Performance Center and to the main roster, looking at their work, their personal lives and the fraternity of the NXT brand, including the heartbreak of being cut. So, it's Tough Enough-esque.

Pros vs. Joes – Pretty much the same as the old SpikeTV series, pitting WWE talents against an average person in physical and non physical challenges. The non physical challenges listed included an air guitar competition. The physical challenges were described as similar to American Gladiators.

Six seasons and a movie!

Looper007 · 21-03-2014 9:37pm

Black woman throws glass at Blackman

Blackman shocked then angered "That Bitch threw a Glass at me, get down here and I pound your fat ass"

More personality he shows here then he did in his WWF run.

For what it's worth (Which probably isn't much) Thejournal.ie have a piece up on Main Stage Wrestling and both Sheamus and Prince Devitt are mentioned and states Devitt has just been signed by WWE.

I agree with those but how many more could you name? Bret Hart is his own biggest fan but he has had a lot of great quality matches without needing to use a hammer to get over.

....

WWE is a publicly-traded $3.3 billion company

Did they get this figure from Michael Cole on Raw?

WWE has also signed up Bray’s own Fergal ‘Prince’ Devitt, who spent a number of years as one of the top “gaijin” (foreign wrestlers) in Japan. He is expected to make his debut in the coming weeks.

He'd better be added to the WWE title math at Mania or else he's being buried by Levesque :mad:

In terms of assets that's actually pretty bang on the mark. So no, not Michael Cole.
