Just had a show at the sports arena, 600 plus crowd, with TNA stars wrestling and a special appearance by a British wrestling legend.

Is it Giant Haystacks?

If it is, I'm on it.

104/156k a year!

I hope he pays tax on that!!!

By best do you mean he is allowed to win the most?



How many events have a 700 attendance? 700 x £9 (average cost of a ticket) =£6,300

Even if he got half the receipts (which I doubt) he would have to do 52 gigs, or does he have a sponsor?

At least. Anyone who has horns growing out of their head like that (resembling the Devil) - would surely make that sort'a money a year?

He'd probably do best to stay away from the deep south in the US tho'. He'd be shot, what with their strong beliefs on the devil and a gay looking devil at that.

a gay looking devil at that.

Maybe that's how he makes up for the short fall in his wages, lots of gay clubs in Hull would pay him to turn up dressed like that (not that I would know!!).

He will work more than once a week for a start, drive to all the events in his own car and then possibly sleep in that same car afterwards.
By 'best' he will mean lots of things.
Including selling moves, In ring work, Personality and crowd interaction.
You seem to think that being a pro wrestler is some kind of joke but answer me this 'Would you take a job on that requires you to take a kicking?'
When I say take a kicking I mean it as even though they know how to fall most wrestlers have had some level of back surgeries and let us not forget the times they have to blade themselves to let the crimson juice start.

After watching plenty of program's about what actually happen behind the scenes here and over the pond then I know it isn't something I could do as you have to be a certain type of individual to do it.

The film 'The wrestler' isn't as far away from the truth as some seem to think it is.

You'd be ace, you could just Kung-Fu their asses.

That’s a real good insight, have we unmasked...............................EL LIGERO?

If by “joke” you mean makes me laugh, then yes, this kind of thing makes me laugh, but if that’s what they want to do then so be it.

Good luck to them, go get em boys!

In what way exactly does it make you laugh though?

A man in tights and a horned gimp mask having pretend fights?

Nowt funny there.

Your continuous insinuations are very close to the border.

" would you let him Near your kids " this guy has around 50 under 16 s per week turn up to he's fantastically run training sessions, this is based around fitness and flexibility, no one gets near a ring for some time, safety is paramount, perhaps you would like to explain what ou mean by your comment?

"a gay devil suit "

Be very careful.

As for he's earning, the guy works incredibly hard sometimes wrestling three times a day.

Though I don't expect someone with obvious learning difficulties to understand the workings of such entertainment, I would only ask that the jibes stop, unless you have indeed tried the training never mind the "performing".

I would take a guess now that your silly comments will continue, and the fact you hide behind your username makes you feel safe and secure, remember, some people trundle along in life and some live it! I hazard a guess which choice you have made. Bless ya.

A great post mate, this is indeed entertainment, but the dangers are very very real.

Did anyone go?

Yes, joking aside, I don't know much about it but from the Louis Theroux documetary I saw a couple of years ago it's a pretty committed sport to be involved in with the potential for some serious injury.

It is entertainment as well and no doubt the bits that are funny are meant to be funny.

Tomorrow night mate.

Sad to break the news to you sandra giant haystacks is dead

What?

But not Big Daddy right?

I would say there is more than potential.
As I said surgery of the spine is almost the norm.

There was a famous story of Tazz getting a rather nasty head/neck injury and when asked by the PMT's if he wanted treatment he waved them away and went home.
He later went to A+E (or whatever the American term is) with complaint that his neck had started to feel worse.
After having numerous tests done it fell to the Doctors to tell him that not only had he broken his neck but that they had no idea how he was walking!!
He want back to wrestling as soon as he could.

You have to be very tough to even try it and have a fair bit of crazy to keep doing it.

After reading through this thread and looking at the wimps on the website, I have decided to ditch my 2-nights a week slot at the Aria in Vegas, and become a wrestler.

My name shall be Barnabus the Baron of Battle. I will wear a costume similar to the one I normally wear, but made with fighting in mind. I imagine it'll look abit like Apollo Creed's Uncle Sam costume in Rocky.

My finishing move is a bear hug, obviously.

I have asked my agent to arrange a fight against Anakin (El Migeto De Biltono), to finally settle our scores once and for all. Not only is the East Hull World Championship Belt on the line, but the winner will also walk away a moderator on these boards (Mild Rover has confirmed this).

Some people like wrestling, the rest are normal.

No he's alive and well playing for Huddersfield at the moment

And I have heard football fans say something similar about RL fans.

All the rugby fans on this forum, myself and Barnabus excluded, are pansies.

Looking forward to that bout. My money's on El Migeto De Biltono, nearly as good as Bruce Lee that one. Walks two abreast down Rerd like Tommy Concrete.

I did not call him "a gay devil" that was another user hiding behind his user name
