The demise of BBC3

Yeah, but ITV used to have Jackie Pallo and Mick McManus on first (RIP the both of them)

They were never good actors though. Nor Big Daddy, Giant Haystacks and the rest.

Now we hear that Liston may have thrown his first fight with Clay, but that was always the norm in wrestling.

The cheats these days just hire footballers at ridiculous amounts. Same fraud.

Many of them are crippled now from all those falls. Still, many other sports involve inflicting brain damage, either openly (boxing) or secondarily (rugby, football).

Head a football at your peril!

Brain scans. Plus, any bang to the head kills brain cells. Just add up the number of bangs to the head.
