Picking the event to try and score points from Moxey... again. Gee... you really like your popcorn! Do you wear those big spongy gloves? Do you think if speedway was pushed as much as American Wrestling and its sister sport, American Football, that it too could sell out Wembley?

I'll leave you to continue talking your nonsense again now. Occasionally you make good points... but then you let yourself down with garbage like this. You claimed no other credible sport would have playoffs.. you've been shown to be wrong. You claimed speedway was now at the level of 'American Wrestling'... if only it was. As for promotion, the sport could learn from both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In my mind, I always make good points; in yours, you're always right. Edited November 9, 2019 by moxey63 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I generally only speak up when I KNOW I am right. If I am shown to be wrong, I learn from it. You just talk drivel, get proven wrong and are too pig stubborn to admit it.

Can understand why some sports don't even go there. VAR's bad enough. And you were given a perfect example from a very big sport. Then of course your gibberish comparing the success of speedway to 'American Wrestling' as if it's some sort of accurate comparison. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL.. all of them have rewarded the weakest teams in the standings and as such it was and is beneficial to finish lower. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am not comparing the support American Wrestling attracts, I am comparing its rules and the belief of its competitors have on the audience. It might attract huge crowds, but they are mostly strange people who like watching beefy men pretending to be really fighting. Both sports - speedway and wrestling - are pretend sports. I am not talking about crowds they attract. Edited November 9, 2019 by moxey63 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Go tell the families of riders injured and those who have lost their lives that speedway is a 'Pretend Sport'. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Go tell a rider speedway is a 'pretend sport'. You are an odious man, who has been sulking for 20+ years because he can't get free entrance into the sport anymore. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
