I felt there was a lot of that through the show (feeling I've seen certain tricks or variations of tricks before). The nail in a bag, for instance

Did you have a

big, bruised entry?

:P

The Boss rocked Croker earlier. Bruce not Sasha btw.. Have seen some complaining about the sound and it did start off a little muffled but by halfway through he was rocking it loud and clear. I can't believe his energy for a 66 year old man. Going again Sunday night!

Some more sound complaints for tonight, Bono also joined Bruce on stage

Sound was fine from where I was tonight, Lower Cusack. What a show and what a day that was. Bono was less intrusive than usual the song worked well.

Just in bed after driving to Edinburgh and back to watch Connacht beat Leinster. I don't think I've ever been this tired. But I don't care because it was an epic weekend. Connacht winning helped

Did you take the 84 hour non-stop bus over? Anybody on that bus has my respect. Can barely last 4 hours on one.

Good knowledgeable folk of boards PW forum, hit me up with some laptop recommendations in the €600 neighbourhood? Just need something for recreational use but something that'll work well and handle whatever updates come along for hopefully another few years. Had mine robbed at the weekend so..

No I didn't I drove from Connemara to Larne on Friday slept in Glasgow over night then bus to Edinburgh in the morning. Really enjoyed the match. Bus back to Glasgow that night. Left Glasgow for Galway at 9 in the morning then caught a bit of the celebrations before driving to Dublin for work this morning.

Those guys who did the 84 hour but are mental but hero's in my opinion

Toshiba Satellite laptop, got mine for €400 in Curry's in town, but might differ where ever it is you live, also those who robbed you, absolute scumbags.

The legend Muhammad Ali has passed away aged 74

A huge loss. His cocky brash style actually came from watching professional wrestlers. His impact on the sporting world was immense. RIP

Kankan14

The original smack talker.

You won't see any mention of Joe Frazier today or how Ali treated him during the promo for the fight. Really shameful stuff that Frazier seemed to be mentally destroyed by for the rest of his life sadly.

Mr.Nice Guy

A colossal figure who transcended sport. It took massive guts to stand up to the establishment the way he did. I was listening to George Foreman speaking earlier on CNN and he said around the time of the Vietnam controversy he was in Miami doing a promo for a fight with a bunch of cameras around, and when Ali walked in they all turned off the cameras because they didn't want anything to do with him. And yet he came back from all that.

I agree he overstepped the mark on several occasions, and a lot of his comments make for uncomfortable listening today, but he also stepped up to the mark in huge ways also by helping charities, and championing civil rights.

Incredible man and as he said himself, he owed a large part of his persona to being influenced by Gorgeous George.

This is my first post since October. I was active daily up until then but took a hiatus due to my mental health being in the toilet. I've been on medication and counselling since around February and I'm feeling better but I felt the need to post this so that everyone would know that I didn't just disappear.

No cause released yet, thats a very young age to be passing.

Mr.Nice Guy

Wow shocked about Kimbo Slice. Reports suggesting heart failure. 42 is so young as well.

I hope you're doing well and have some IRL friends and family around you. I've dipped in and out of various social media sites over the years for similar reasons. Funnily enough most people are decent and this wrestling forum is probably one of the best going for decent folk enjoying the graps and having the craic.
