We've had medal winners be paraded at half time but this is genuinely massive and a huge honour. Hopefully he'll managed a cheeky 5-1 at some point.

Bauld Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 It's true! It's DAMN true! Pretty awesome I would love to hear some of his stories. He will probably be quite cautious with his old WWE stories though. He is planning on retiring in a year or so and is trying to work a deal to wrestle one final match in WWE. Sort of retirement match that Flair, Michaels etc have done in recent times. So he will want to keep on their good side as much as possible.

rabthejambo Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Really quite intrigued by this. Not so much to hear about the WWE days and subsequent TNA stuff. IMO that is pretty much all nonsense and not very interesting (apologies to all the members of JKBs thriving subculture of sports entertainment aficionados, of whom there are many). I'd much rather hear about his experiences of the Foxcatcher Wrestling Academy, the Schultz brothers and the amazingly bonkers John duPont.

Certainly not going to have a pop at fans of his who think this is a good thing, but by the same note just because you're a fan of his doesn't mean you can force the "it's a huge honour" line on people who don't give a toss about wrestling. It's not a huge honour in my opinion to have him at Tynecastle. Just like it wouldn't be a huge honour to have a Olympic gold medalist in walking, curling or shooting pitch up for a Q&A. Too many people getting way too worked up on both sides of this argument Hope any Hearts fans who go to see it enjoy it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may or may not, but there's no need to try and deny folk something harmless that they enjoy. Not at all, don't see where I said that? Each to their own. Just isn't a sport, if you enjoy it, then good, makes no difference to me. Just find it weird that when challenged wrestling fans point to the Olympic part, when for the vast majority, they would never have heard of him had he not been in WWE. How that translates into me being keen not to have people enjoy themselves I'm not quite sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind letting you have an opinion on it. Others seem keen to not let others like the stuff they like. That, to me is a lot sadder than liking wrestlin.

Locky Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Liking this from the club. Rather than just holding events aimed entirely at our own support, we are aiming to a potentially wider audience and putting Tynecastle on the map a wee bit more. Sure it's in our stadium and advertised by the club, but I guarantee there'll be loads of non Hearts supporters there. Not a fan of wrestling myself but still think this will go down a treat.
