    :lol: I wonder if you could’ve paid Michael Buffer enough money to announce Mike thusly “Mike The **** hole Tyyyssson!!!”

    I know Buffer likes the $$$ but preservation of his health would surely override his quench for the coin. :D

    In Australia, it’s “Horses Hoof”, same difference of course. :)

    The mention of same and Tyson’s “spinal” issues “strangely” lead me to the nickname “Brokeback Mike”. :risas3:

    For the right amount, I suspect Buffer's fondness of the coin would have surpassed his instinct for self preservation.

    :lol: Greg, you may well be right. They say everyone has a price. Buffer has probably already proven that axiom more than anyone else. Hopefully, he would live to enjoy the given pay cheque.

    If Tyson came for him, he'd claim Burgundy syndrome - "C'mon Mike, if it's written on my card, I say it".

    Lol! Yes, I can see Mike being reasoned with thusly - smooth taking Buff halting Mike’s rhino charge toward him just before Buff was about to be sent to Bolivian. Hehe.

    I'm not an English man so I wouldn't know but if Iron is slang for homosexual, he said he was gonna screw another guy til he loved him and said he'd make Ruddock kiss him. Iron in that context wouldn't b out of place.

    I've never heard Iron being used to mean homosexual anywhere in the UK nor have I heard anything even remotely close. Where on earth in the UK are you from :eyebrow2:
