From Adam Lupercio:

The WWF website article that mentions Shane McMahon [son of the owner of WWF] retired his European belt starts off and ends with lines from the Smiths' song "Panic":

There's panic on the streets of London, panic on the streets of Birmingham... and I wonder to myself:

Why did Shane McMahon retire the European Title?

Could life ever be sane again?


Comments / Notes



Yeah well, that fruity wanker probably had someone tell him what to write. I have to say that he is not cool enough to know those lines for himself...

"Professional" wrestling is so weak that it only vaguely contrasts against all of those other slothful Americanisms on television.

Fantabulous! I think its great that someone, somewhere, mentioned the Smiths, even though its not in the most serious context possible. But then again, how serious is a guy who sings "i checked myself into the YWCA." Pro Wrestling is fun, gimpy... its entertainment at the expense of intelligence only. Everyone's a winner!

This is bizarre. I thought I was the only person who enjoyed the WWF and the Smiths. That combination was maybe a billion to one at least. Damn, just when I thought I was an original.
