I could be wrong, but I’m not sure a wrestling show with two confirmed matches that could take place anywhere else on the planet qualifies as an essential reason to travel into a war zone.
The Rock, The Big Show, Kurt Angle, William Regal and Lita all appeared on this show during the Attitude Era.
#OnThisDay 1992: Chris Evans and Gaby Roslin were fronting one of the most talked-about new shows on television. Sarah Greene visited the presenters of The Big Breakfast, Channel 4’s bold new morning programme, which was produced from three lock-keeper’s cottages.

Scott Hall being asked if he’s a fan of Irish pop group B*Witched while sat next to Mel C, Nick Tilsley, and Sonia Fowler. I can’t cope with this.

Did nobody think to smarten up Scott that this was a kid’s show? He was such a rascal.

"They promised me loyalty, they promised me backing, they promised communication, that we get aligned. We spoke about the issues.

69 years old, two knee replacements, a stroke and two bouts of cancer. He's a fucking badass for still being able to get in the ring unassisted. His chest is out, his head is up. More than can be said about anyone trying to mock him.
I’ve been thinking a lot about my teenage years, and I’m pretty sure this album’s release was when my life peaked.

This was shown on Sky Sports in July 1997. It drew 151,000 viewers the first night it was aired, and 286,000 the next day when it was replayed. Doesn’t sound a lot, but that was decent numbers for the channel.
