bickster Posted May 13, 2023 Moderator Share Posted May 13, 2023 Leroy Cooper has passed away aged 62. I realise this will mean absolutely zilch to anyone here but it was Cooper's arrest that was the spark to the 1981 Toxteth Riots. After that arrest, he became a photographer and over the years has documented life and the changes that have taken place in Toxteth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I know who Billy Graham is, is because he once held an event at Villa Park. Edited May 18, 2023 by sidcow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different one. The god bothering clearing in the woods has been dead for 5 years. This one was a wrestler who became the prototype of the 'superstar' wrestler. Hulk Hogan being the most obvious who owes him a debt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, that would explain why I have no idea who he is then and first thought of the other one. I mean, I am not remotely religious and blame it front and centre for a lot of the worlds ills, but I would still rather watch a god botherer than a **** "wrestling" match. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised he lasted as long as he did, he was heavily on steroids for a long time. Along with Hogan, also Ric Flair, Dusty, and Jesse Ventura always said they were influenced by him too. What a legacy. Not too many of those 70's superstars left now. Edited May 18, 2023 by Jonesy7211 Poor speeling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does appear he spent the last 20 years slowly having bits of his body keel over but there's not many wrestlers that make it to 80. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonesy7211 Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Sorry to go off topic but I don't get why people poke fun at people who like wrestling. Yes, we know it's scripted and badly acted. But it is just harmless fun. It's no more fake than movies, TV, or books. Do you assume people who watch the walking dead think zombies are real?

Because it's gone to shit If you said you used to watch wrestling in the 00s "when we were kids" which actually means when most of us were in our 20s...then yeah there's some good chats to have but if you say you watch it now it's not because I think you're immature or stupid it's more because the quality of it is so bad now Its like saying you still watch the walking dead, why? It's gone terrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's gone terrible I understand that point of view entirely, and I watch in the hope it can be good again, which it is from time to time. I also watch with my 11 year old boy as I remember the spectacle of seeing the undertaker debut when I was 9. It was incredible, and I hope for him to have a memory like that. It's not that reasoning I disagree with, it's the childish sniggering I don't like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
