Fulham just need the MJ statue back, front and centre. It would fit their fate of being doomed to an eternity of bad owners.

This could be the most one-sided fight since 1973 when Ali faced an eighty-foot tall mechanical Joe Frazier. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire Earth was destroyed.

This is sort of like sponsoring a single A or rookie ball minor league baseball team

Enfield are probably a less shambolic club than Fulham tbh. Khans probably need to stick to wrestling as they seem bad at real sports.

I actually like Enfield Town, as I really support the idea of fan-owned clubs. So I'm mostly just making fun of WWE here.

Cardiff are in tier 2.

Enfield Town are in tier 7 and at that point its a bunch of semi-pro teams.

After all they accurately predicted Vince McMahon's attitude towards NXT UK decades ago

You're having a chuckle, but NXT UK has about 40 people, and I don't hear about it having waves of releases. Working theory is that Vince has forgotten they exist.

They're supposedly taking advantage of government benefits for Corona right now that have the government paying 80% of their wages. You might see people getting released when that runs out.

Basically all the football leagues in the UK from the premier league down to a bunch of lads from your local pub signed up to the local Sunday league team can be in the same pyramid system. My brother plays for a team that if they were to be promoted for something stupid like fifteen years in a row would end up in the Premier League.

Absolutely this, and also non-league football is way more fun to watch in person than league football. Awful players who love slide tackles, stands with no rain coverage, the ball bobbling multiple times on a simple pass because the pitch is so poo poo, being allowed to take your drink to your seat, being allowed to drink full stop, all good stuff.

They’re virtually all signed for contracts that are barely above minimum wage in the UK, so it can be funded entirely by loose change HHH finds in sofa cushions and the pockets of clothes he forgot to check before washing.

Only half of this post is hyperbole.

This would only apply to people they aren’t actively using, as in this person would have to just be sat at home not doing anything that could remotely be considered work. They can’t even answer work emails or talk about work beyond “am I coming back to work yet, no, ok speak to you again later”.

I don’t watch NXT UK because nobody watches NXT UK so I don’t know what their current crop of on air wrestlers looks like. They could be using tons of people but if they’re just using the same 6 people every show like raw and smackdown it’ll likely be in order to maximise their furlough benefits. Or just be bad booking as usual I guess.

According to the one podcast I listen to that covers them, they're actually putting on an enjoyable one hour show with some very good matches right now. Apparently the A-Kid vs Devlin feud has been really excellent.
