Kurt Angle's had a fair few neck problems IIRC.

angle had neck surgery at the same time as edge, but he took the quick fix option and was back in much less than a year.

but also has had a lot problems with it since then, i guess edge' problems took longer to take effect.

its all fake though.

Had this debate with my flat mates when watching Wrestlemania.

They're all none wrestling fans who were adamant "it's fake" "they know how to fall" when I offered to put a thin bit of padding down and slam them onto our wooden floor (effectively what the ring is) they were suddenly less loud about the situation.

oh shee-it, if you want a laugh, get onto you youtube and search for

val venis, john morrison/melina.

he's quite outspoken about the pair of them adn the situation with trish at WM

i tell you something, all the comments about JoMo lately, and its stuff i'd read before about him being a gymnast rather than someone who could actually beat someone in a shoot, its gonna start being a weight around his neck.

he needs to pick on someone backstage and kick out of them, and i dont mean someone like evan bourne.

Perhaps kicking HHH in the balls to get some respect back.

well, i've been doing judo for just around 12 months now, i know how to fall for that, still fooking scary when someone does a shoulder throw and you almost land straight on your ing head with someone elses bodyweight on you.

youtube kata garuma and you'll see, think thats the one,

The TV Tapings for November have been announced as 8th and 9th November at Liverpool Arena. Interesting choice and it's quite a small arena, I seem to remember them having problems with the smoke caused by pyro at Newcastle which is a similar venue.

Either way, tickets on sale Wednesday!

Oh ball$, was hoping for Manchester or Sheffield.

I remember some commentary JR did, might have been for a Hardy Boyz vs E&C ladder match where he made comments about people saying "oh but they know how to fall" then asking how does anyone learn to fall off a ladder?

Point them towards Mick Foley's first book. There's a catalog of why "fake" is not the word you use to describe wrestling

That book is unbelievable.
He also makes you realise how many miles they clock over a year as well.
My favourite line out of it is (please excuse me im paraphrasing here as I havent read it in a while) when talking about him losing his ear was that 'A certain tag team were being a pair of girls and complained about the tension of the ropes (which were then made tighter), I had no knowledge of this and so when I did my hangman I couldn't get free'.
He then goes on to say how he knew he was in trouble and as he yanked himself free he tore his ear off!

It should also be pointed out that the "ropes" that WCW used at the time weren't rubber or rope. They were elevator cables in a plastic cover, which is part of the reason they were so impossible to loosen

Yep.
I can honestly see Mick thinking that was 'it' TBH as he was lucky to get free.

Ah right, cheers mate. Any links to websites? Couldn't see anything on Ticketmaster for example.

The MEN didn't sell out for Raw, which I went, and Smackdown was very poorly attended, so I read on here.
