I think I mentioned on the podcast that my second cousin is representing Scotland in the bowls for the visually impaired at the commonwealth games… well she just won the gold medal.

[@marybonner7432]

Fantastic news 😀

[@Julian-xj6mh]

The arrogance of youth

[@TheJoeldude]

The arrogance of blindness! Amazing stuff, proud moment for you all - congratulations!

[@josepalomares111]

That is amazing! Deserves the next Hall of Fame nomination👏

"Not a 'pew-pew', but an 'uh-uh'." - Jack The Jobber Fucking brilliant.

[@justagreatguygaming]

This is how the head nod really works. If anyone says anything else they are just flat out wrong. Head nod Up - Hello Head nod Down - You have my respect Head nod to the right - I need to talk to you Head nod to the left - Check this out

[@LJComposer]

My highlight of the week is just absolutely mind-blowing. I BECAME A RING ANNOUNCER FOR MY LOCAL INDIE! I've always wanted to do it since I was a child. In my debut, I got 2 selfies and an autograph asked of me after the show. I hope I can come back for their next show!

[@dangerousd1312]

congrats!

[@georgeholloman9644]

Congratulations man. That's awesome. What's the promotion called?

[@LJComposer]

@@georgeholloman9644 Elite Wrestling Entertainment (EWE), in West London.

[@rootyrootyson2175]

Mad gratz. That's awesome. Sounds like you were too.

[@nathanshapland424]

Jack starts sounding like Cornette at times when around Fraser 😂😂

[@gamerpike1005]

Honestly Jack has been shining in these podcasts the last few months, (hes always been good) but lately when he comes out with the sarky comments its just top tier stuff

[@MrTheSmurf]

Fraser telling the cop story, I instantly thought imagine it happened during a hell in the smell stream 😂

[@23lacross]

I thought of Becky Lynch bloody posing in the crowd after destroying Ronda as an iconic photo from wrestling history. I think it's because it's so recent. I also thought of Taker's face when Brock starts laughing at him.

[@matthewlong1472]

This might be the best HOF section, rewound plenty of times!

[@DeaDGoD_XIV]

Another Friday, another three and a half hours, another speeding up of my shift, let's go!

[@sameoldsameold9239]

Who will thrive? Anyone with talent, whether they are under 6 foot, were known elsewhere before, English is not their first language, a tag team, a non-sexualised woman etc is the hope!

[@daniele551]

Maffew nominating Logan Paul. A new era indeed.

[@GuestFriendsPlay]

I think a more interesting question is, who loses their spot? Someone like a Lacey Evans, or an Omos comes to mind (and honestly, I think it's already happening)

[@wuerlybird]

yes please to both

[@bhhdty2272]

@@thatblindtekkenwarrior1177 don’t think he cares. Cody has said that’s his favorite wrestler and they hugged and had a nice conversation when he came back. There is no hard feelings!

[@liverpoolynwa2151]

Don't forget all the 24/7 jobbers

[@liverpoolynwa2151]

@@bhhdty2272 exactly its just business hhh always did it with wrestlers in wcw back in the day

[@mattpatrick]

Thanks for reading my question boys! Regretfully I am not the boy next to CM Punk at MITB. Heck of a moment though!

[@dme1408]

Your entire "like" and head nod convo is opening my eyes that the British are just like us here in the ghetto of the US haha

[@cr5cc]

I know... I was thinking black ppl do that too

[@23lacross]

When Cody came back and he was waiting in his bus. Triple H was one of the people that went to go see him before his match. They have a big respect for one another, there's no hate or animosity there whatsoever.

[@rossanderson1892]

Women's football was massive during the first world war. Then the FA banned it. So they beat the English record attendance for a woman's game (set in the 1920's) was beat at the Euro's.

[@Nbflowers1989]

Best time of the week!!

[@thr33xgaming32]

I don't know what Wrestlemania it was, but I love the image of Undertaker coming out in silhouette with the hands of the crowd reaching up towards him.

[@MrBanchiniOfficial]

Mr.McMath….. I’ve just burst out laughing in the middle of a shopping centre and I’m getting odd looks.. FANTASTIC

[@Jiminat0rr]

In defence of Bowls, yes it looks duller than a bag of hammers, but its highly competitive Having played at county and national level myself for 15 years, before i took a leave of absence due to excessive work commitments, it was a great experience. Travelling the country, meeting peers of the game (much like wrestling in some ways, also i did wrestle for 6 years as well), it made you a better player being around those of a certain experience (again like wrestling whom you can learn from veterans etc)

[@sameoldsameold9239]

What is Tubman going to do in Japan exactly? My lady friend had to go back to Japan on a family matter but I as a non-native still haven't figured out a way for me to visit her and her family in the meantime. :(

[@carmeldanielle5541]

Depends where in the world you are. I live in Japan but I’m South African. My boyfriend is American. My dad couldn’t come visit me because the restrictions on Africa are different. All my boyfriend had to do was fill out a few forms and his family came over. I think it’s okay if it’s family but if you’re not married then it’s harder (Japan is just a bit backwards like that). You could also try being part of a tour group but then you’re more limited with where you can go

[@mitchellholcomb1561]

The silent head nod is definitely not a euro exclusive lol!!! That's standard everywhere

[@thr33xgaming32]

The Pierce Hawthorne sell, nice shout out Frazer

[@jonzee1572]

A Scottish man says Irelands call is the best rugby anthem despite flower of Scotland being best ( coming from an irish man)

[@Noordhof]

Iconic Photo - Shane McMahon falling off the Titantron Best Looking Finisher - Victoria - Widow's Peak Best Suited Finisher - Undertaker - Tombstone Piledriver Best Finisher Name - Bam Bam Bigelow - Greeting from Asbury Park

[@raulolvera7401]

Jack put double-sided tape around your couch or bed your kitty will stop scratching

[@EJAwesomo]

great podcast this week!

[@23lacross]

Also Ali stopped doing the 054 because in his words it became two dangerous and he wants to have a healthy life after wrestling.

[@brainofwombat]

2:12:00 Maffew remembers the Laptop Couple! Laptop Couple, Jack! Lap. Top. Couple.

[@mitchellpreston]

The Venus de milo (Deonna Purazzo) not being mentioned for best finisher name is a travesty.

[@seranastorey3003]

Earliest surprise in this episode is Total Extreme Wrestling getting a mention.

[@sameoldsameold9239]

Nice!!!

[@lazypaladin]

Only Fraser could explain a very serious Police Situation; Like a 5-Year Old explaining The Avengers. Love it 👌

[@StephenAndrewsPTL]

The Scooby-Doo section was class lol

[@zubrhero5270]

Rodney Mullen. The most beautiful technical wrestler of all time.

[@Disciple_of_Cthulhu]

Happy birthday, Ross!

[@thefiggamehunt6946]

Happy birthday Ross and I for one will miss your maffew impression this week

[@MrBanchiniOfficial]

Logan Paul being nominated is not something I was expecting from Maffew but I think he (Logan) absolutely deserves it, naturally athletic, really goes all out, 100% effort into everything he does, I’m not a fan of the KZbin channel or videos but he’s earned a ton of respect and it’s thoroughly deserved.

[@majinpvegeta]

2:31:25 That impression from Fraser was damn hilarious. 🤣

[@tomhilliam301]

Harry styles and bowls are both very good

[@antmc1376]

The Hart Family/Scooby Doo crossover popped me ngl

[@samappleby1319]

My pick best suited finisher would be Big Show's WMD. Probably not the most popular move, but for realism sake, a solid punch from Big Show should put anybody down

[@chimpmasterflex]

I'm not sure if it's fair to compare these considering how much longer it was, but I think this hall of fame segment beats the freemason pacitti stuff from awhile ago. I was laughing out loud, short of breath, and it was just hit after hit after it got going.

[@Howyanow]

Ric Flair last match 2: Tokyo dome drift

[@tamzidmohsinkhan3333]

Still Triple H did great job by giving wrestlers more freedom & gave them more TV time

[@thefiggamehunt6946]

Corrr 3 and a half hours of wrassling this is just how a Friday night was meant to be. Feels like 1998 all over again

[@majinpvegeta]

40:56 Hey, don't be dissing cassette tapes. There's just something nostalgic about putting one in tape player that makes it feel legit.

[@A..M..A]

Most influential match of all time is Ricky Steamboat vs Randy Savage Half of the wrestlers of the last 15 years became wrestlers because of that match. Also the most iconic photo is Undertaker laying down in the ring with 21-1 on the titantron.

[@harrybanner170]

Mrs Mcmath is poolside in florida now

[@melian9999]

International cool guy head nod. As long as your both cool, making eye contact, nod-nod, peace in the world. Works all over the world. But if one guy is not cool, its comical, they dont know what do do, multiple nods, or head shake, or just a look of terror. Try it yourself

[@Atominiser88]

The driven by demons is Pantera song or By Demons be Driven and I am not gonna lie that popped me being a huge fan of them and pretty sure Edge is a huge fan as well if I am not mistaken.

[@thelordthatispablo6162]

I stand with Fraser; Harry Styles is a phenomenal artist. Jack needs to listen to Harry’s House. More specifically, Grapejuice.

[@MrKeeganimal]

Honestly throw Logan Paul in with a few technical workers who have amateur wrestling backgrounds - Gable could carry a match and I don't doubt Logan could keep up with some grapples if they rehearsed it enough

[@TheThird1977]

Most influential heel? I'd argue there's a case for "Superstar" Billy Graham (just as Maffew said the same).

[@roryalexanderm]

£15 a month sim deal?! with who?!

[@Whomidifier]

CURLY WURLY!!!!

[@ohokaysureyeah]

harry's house is an incredible album and I will not stand for jack's slander.

[@Elpezidente]

Karrion Kross I think 😉

[@HenryTCasey]

We do the head nod in the states!

[@VillaFanDan92]

My favourite wrestling photo is the one of Becky Lynch at the top of the stairs in the run up to Survivor Series where she had her nose broken and all the blood pouring from her face.

[@tomduffy2966]

Gohan's arm was knackered when he fought Cell.. smh Jack

[@LoneLoaf]

I cant speak for the rest of America, but on the east coast at least the head nod is widely used. Up if you know the guy, down if you don't.

[@farmergingee]

The accent is from Dundee, my hometown. It's a terrible accent but not as bad as people from Kirkcaldy...

[@chrishowell6469]

That Raid Story killed me.

@@robcampion9917 I just went for Welsh people in the Welsh PPV. Though what if Tegan Nox returns.

[@robcampion9917]

@@jamesbaker1987 A Tegan Nox return would be cool and I only went for Gallus because they are Scottish like Drew, plus they are a three man team so the Bloodline could have Solo come out to make it 4 on 4.
