    Probably comes from "Fág an bealach" so. He went to a Gaelscoil when he was younger, didn't he?

    I haven't a clue. Is there anyone on here from Cabra, or even "North St. George's Street"? ;)

    Full of knackers! I lived close to both. Maybe he went to the Gaeltacht!

    If I could be serious for a minute, and don't take this to heart, why is it acceptable to talk about the travellers like this on the forum?

    He means undesirables/scumbags rather than Travellers. If you follow OSW Review you'll know that they call Justin Credible a rat-faced knacker the whole time, nothing to do with Traveller folk at all most def. That's not the vibe in PW whatsoever.

    I watch the show and know that and I assumed it was in reference to travellers.

    I don't mean to come off as a bitch but it's a big if. You or I might get it but the next fella might not.

    It's a proper community in this forum though, most of us know each other and any racism/discrimination wouldn't be welcome on the boards. Anyway, that's enough on this from me. I'm sure Jay will tell you himself he means no harm.

    No one ever knows anyone in this world. You think you know people, and then they turn heel. Anyway, the people who have all posted above me seem like some of the soundest here.

    Knacker means general scum, no reference to travellers. Irish people are tremendously well-adjusted so the fact that this has veered straight into a discussion about what's PC/discrimination etc, and I have to explain myself, makes me a little sad.

    Moving on from knackers (scumbags) :pac:, back to the questions.

    Will the WWE be able to make the Owen Hart DVD even if Marta Hart still objects to him being referenced or shown by WWE? Bret in JR's podcast seems to hint that the rest of the Hart family are up for it and even admonished Marta over her stance on Owen's legacy.

    I'm sure they would. They own the video libraries with Owen's matches in them, not Martha. I'm sure, when they sign contracts etc, wrestlers have to allow the WWE use of their image for whatever purpose they wish

    Did anyone use the Pedigree before Triple H?

    Andre the Giant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeHCSrtmU-0&app=desktop

    Ron Bass (not underhooked): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JX9SNxAWbds&feature=youtu.be&t=1m50s

    Triple H's version is most likely a variation of Harley Race's facebuster, which was the same as Ron Bass's version.

    How is it decided who calls the spots? Like we always hear Cena calling spots/moves, whether with younger guys or guys like The Rock. Then we have Paige calling spots with the likes of the Bellas

    Traditionally first criteria is the heel (as they set the table for the babyface comeback) and the second criteria is who is the most experienced.

    I'd imagine though that experience for any real length of time rules out over a relative newcomer?

    Yep. But it normally works out better "flow wise" if the heel does it.

    Yeah, for sure. Have there been any babyfaces that went against the grain throughout the years?

    Hogan and Austin both preferred to call their matches. Seems to be the same with Cena. Undertaker too I think

    There's always exceptions though I guess. I'm pretty sure Bret Hart called WrestleMania XIII.

    Austin would for practical reasons. He's very hard of hearing in one ear.

    But isn't Paige one of the newer divas, or do they just let her call the matches because she has a better handle on these things?

    I believe so. At least from the time he was a teenager. One of the reasons why he is such a bad singer.

    I meant to ask this ages ago, on the Wikipedia page for the WWE Title it says:
    A custom championship belt was designed and constructed for The Rock, which featured his trademark Brahma Bull logo in the center as an answer to Austin's Smoking Skull Belt, but due to creative reasons it never appeared on television.
    What were these creative reasons?
