In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
Could someone explain the significance of having a WWE Champion, as well as a world heavyweight champion? Around the time I stopped watching, each champion was exclusive to either raw or smack down, it seems to defeat the purpose if they're on the same show every week
There practically isn't any significance any more, the WHC is clearly seen as the second title. The only way they'll give it some prestige is by letting it main event some PPVs (unlikely) or give it to John Cena (highly unlikely).
They really do need to go back to the pre brand split set up.
Main title-Inter-US(Euro)-Tag-Divas(Womens). To make up for the lack of a World title, they could bring back the Cruiserweight/Lightheavyweight, or something.

I'm heavily intoxicated and I've stumbled across Royal Rumble 1992 on youtube.
I haven't watched wrestling in years but this is sensational! Quite sad that so many of them are dead though!

I loved the '92 Rumble, partly because I am a Flair fanboii
I have or at last used to have it on DVD, best royal rumble ever
Amazing performance by Heenan on commentary as well.
Booker T is in the hall of fame now? Christ, they're really struggling to get people for that thing.
Loved heenan, especially in the rumbles changing his favourite all the time, Lawler users to do it a bit
Fandango theme was 44th in official chart
Why wouldn't he be? From a storyline point of view, he's won shitloads of titles.
Yep, when people like Jake Roberts and Randy Savage aren't in it.
Booker T had a fight in a supermarket and if that isn't Hall of Fame worthy, I don't know what is.
what about the original Booker-T/Golddust series of skits? Hall of Fame worthy! Especially the one with Rock, Golddust and Booker.
I personally loved the Booker T - Stone Cold feud, the supermarket fight, the scenes in the church. All great comedy/action. They really dont do enough of that kind of stuff anymore!.
Awwwwhhhh Shucky Ducky Quack QUACK!
They're probably saving Randy Savage for WM 30
People need to relax on the Booker hate. Who else can wrestle whilst also break dancing all the while wearing a nappy? Not many...
Best Booker T skit! Funny stuff.......
Booker t is well worthy of being in the hall of fame. I even enjoyed his king booker gimmick cos it was so daft and funny at the same time.
Booker T deserves to be in the hall of fame. Clearly those saying he doesn't haven't a clue about his career

Those were the days.
King.... BOOOOKEUAHGHAHAAAA was amazing. One of my favourite 00's gimmicks.
Or for an alternate reality where he didn't (allegedly) sleep with a 14 year old Stephanie...
I've just remembered Booker's stint with a strange African accent in TNA. I can't find any videos of it, but it definitely happened.
Whaaat? First I've heard of this!
Love booker t in the supermarket "price check on a jackass" and booker t with a lightsaber, don't forget spinarooni and that he's a 5 time 5 time champion. Plenty of reasons
Try 6-8 weeks! Fandangoing is the new planking it seems.
He'll be a champion in a matter of weeks to cash in on his current fame.
I've heard the rumour but surely if that was true then vince would have tried to have savage locked up
Aye, that's what I'd think, no way Vince would let him get away with it. Not known to be a friendly "oh well, what's done is done" kind of guy, as much as a driven vindictive bastard.
Not to point out the obvious, but they really have to drop the "American Patriot" gimmick on the back of the Boston atrocities. It's only right.
I'd expect him to get the night off at least, but if it's working for them, they won't stop.
He absolutely deserves his spot in there.
What a bollocks point. They're headline names for it, a la Bruno this year.
Also, Jake physically couldn't go in before this year, because hell, would you have trusted him to turn up clean and not be an absolute embarrassment?
TNA doesn't count. They think Jeff Hardy as a champion whilst Sting and Hulk Hogan feud is STILL a good idea.
No chance.
In fact, I'd go as far as to say that this gimmick was probably inspired following all of the news reports in the aftermath of Sandy Hook and all of the right wing nutjobs that came out then, so there's no chance this will cause them to drop it, as much as it isn't working anyway.
He'll be given a night off, that'll be it. If there's one TV company in the world that know how to put on a brave face and put on a show to distract from a terrible situation, it's WWE.
Punks off for a few months then.
Brothers of Destruction + Daniel Bryan vs. Shield next week though, so I suppose there's something to look forward to.

Raw was pretty bad for the most part, and lawler totally killed the fandango thing.
First time in god knows how long that I genuinley considered turning off after Ziggler lost to Swagger. A night of some of the worst booking in god knows how long. Cesaro loses the title to fecking Kofi, Truth fecking pins Barrett and then Ziggler loses a week after winning the world fecking title. Ridiculous all around.
The only sense that can be made out of Kofi beating Cesaro is that they're going to have him drop the title to Fandango very soon and that's why they made the title switch. Truth going over Barrett is a mind boggling decision.

Hello wrestle people, I was listening to the MMA hour (an internet podcast about mixed martial arts) and CM Punk was on it. CM Punk is a huge MMA fan and was at the last UFC show, he also does Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Anyway, the interviewer asked him several times, well sort of hinted at it, about him actually fighting in MMA and CM Punk sort of kept dodging the question or making a joke of it. Is it possible he might transition over?
Secondly, 'cos I have never really heard of him I went back and watched his last match in Wrestlemania 29. He seems quite small compared to a lot of the other wrestlers and Wrestlemania was shit. What happened to it? I remember being like 10 or 11 watching Wrestlemania x7 and it was the greatest thing ever. You had Vince McMahon against his own son, who flew off the turnbuckle and kicked a garbage can into him. That 3 way TLC match in the same event was cool as feck.
I remember a lot of that whole "Attitude Era" from when I was younger. A lot of the wrestlers now, from what I could tell watching Wrestlemania 29, don't seem to be anywhere near as good as back then.

I'd be surprised if Punk isn't good at martial arts, so I'm sure he could hang with fighters in his weight category. I wouldn't want him to make the switch though, he's a very good wrestler and I imagine the last decade or so of wrestling (injuries and aging) probably means he wouldn't anything in MMA.
