    I tell you what's underrated for depth; '60s. I'm sure people will say that's because there wasn't one outstanding dominant champ' for much of the decade but I disagree; plenty of well-matched stylists, varied operators at that, and a series of very, very good champs.

    Then Monzon turned up.....

    You would be immediatly banned for posting that in the lounge.


    What, the post that you are so stupid you were unable to even edit your own post to delete your quote of it, even though it was you that was complaining about it? :lol:

    Some time ago. Before my modship, certainly.

    This message has been deleted by McGrain. Reason: You can't post a picture of someone inserting a sword in another man's anus on this forum.

    :rofl

    80s, 90s (until around '94 when it drops off) and 40s for me.

    It should be noted the 154lb and 168lb divisions thinned out middle quite a bit. That's partly why it weakened 1990 onwards as both of those divisions became more significant.

    Sword in arse looked kinda like it was from a newstory too. Maybe on "violent gay news" or something, but news.

    That photo was on US and UK national TV.

    Acceptable on there, but not on the august and hallowed East Side?:huh


    Its not actually a sword it's a stick , as in "stick it to me".:good
    ps As you can see by my expression in my new avatar , I have lately begun experimenting in this direction myself.

    If you mean Monzon I think it would have been fine on Eastside, If it hadn't been for your own protestations.

    If you're talking about sword in ass, then no, that's never going to be okay i'm afraid.
