Never seen the American guys but I used to watch ours, remember Mick McManus and Pat Roach ?

As you say, it's all about entertaining the crowd but they're really fit.

Re: WWW -if you call it 'sport'!

Yeh, I used to watch WWF about twenty years ago with my friend's two boys that were mad on it. I remember The Undertaker, that bloke that played Mr Nanny in a film, and that bloke that always looked in the mirror at himself and came on with a glamour girl on his arm. I used to know all of them lot that wrestled in those days, not by choice though I must add. I always thought it was put on The crowd used to go crazy when they came out.

I think he was called Shaun Michaels (the one who always looked at himself in the mirror with a girl on his arm )

Did you watch WWF in those days Christian?

We used to sometimes watch it but it always looked very staged and a bit tongue in cheek.
