RIP Hulkamania

As of last night everything to do about the Hulkamainia movement has just been erased from WWE history.

Hulk Hogen back in the day

Hulk Hogan's profile has also been removed from the site & from the Hall of fame.

There are now only two judges on the reality programs "Tough Enough" thats Daniel Bryan & Norwich's very own Paige.

But why has 30 years of saying our prayers & taking our vitamins just simply disappeared over night???

It turns out the leader of the Hulkamainiacs, Hulk Hogan has gone on an offensive rumoured racist rant. As a child I use to love the WWE (WWF-World Wrestling Federation) back in the day, I use to sit with my grandad on a Saturday catching up with the action. I'd be lying to you if I wasn't mesmerised with the glamour & bright lights of this new world my grandad had shown me, it sure beat what we had with World of Sport with Big Daddy & The Giant Haystack. 

So to see hulk Hogan memory to be banished like that I am a little sad, but also stand by Vince Mcmahon in the fireing of such an idol to kids young & now in our 30's. 

The Boss Vince Mcmahon 

The WWE are trying to keep a clean image after some big stories in the press, the biggest on was Chris Benoit's when he shot his whole family then killing himself. They know no one is bigger than the WWE Universe and I think they have shown this by running riot over Hogen. But what would be next for such a massive icon not only in the squared circle but also made the path clear for wrestlers such as The Rock to breakthrough on to the big screen, could rival wrestling company TNA Employ his services again or would this be a hot potato to much???

The Twelfth Man - Pre Season Friendlies Part 2 The Silver Royd Games

Ok just after I launched my last blog the next set of fixtures were realised. In this blog I'll cover 2 of the 3 matches that will be held at Scarborough Rugby Football Clib, Silver Royd.

Silver Ryod, home to Scarborough RUFC

Tuesday 21st July 7:30pm, Accrington Stanley FC at Silver Royd (Scarborough RUFC)

This club from Lancashire was made famous from an old Milk advert on TV. Every time I hear someone say Accrington Stanley, I just want to shout "WHO ARE THEY?".

Stanley are a club with a long history and tradition. They were also nearly wiped out of existence, but their loyal fans have stuck by them thick or thin.

This will be the highest league club Athletic will play this pre season & they will be a very tough team to break down in defence & midfield. Even if manager John Coleman doesn't bring his top players, they will still be a formidable team to play against. In the Stanley team  there is a midfielder who goes by the name of Josh Windass, he is the son of former Seadog Dean Windass. So I do hope for a big crowd to the match and cheering our boys on.

Saturday 25th July 14:00, Tadcaster Albion Silver Royd (Scarborough RUFC)

Tadcaster Albion are under new manager Billy Miller and he has been quick to shore up the defence by bringing in Ex Leeds United defender Matt Heath, after Denny Ingram moved to Pickering Town FC. He's also brought in a midfielder aswell as he has secured the services of former Scarborough Athletic's Jimmy Beadle. But the threat doesn't stop there as there Ate a few familiar faces in The Brewers team from Paddy Miller, Andy Milne, Josh Greening and Tom Claisse's it's going to be a match that day.

 Also the Taddy fans follow their team in big numbers so expect the fans to be a great equaliser to the match atmosphere as I'm sure the song "Tad all over" will be heard on the wind at the rugby club.
