15 Wrestling Matches You Won't Believe Happened In 2018
14. Johnny Slaughter & Major Victory Vs Ed Balls & Joey Sartain (Southern Legacy Wrestling, 24th March 2018)
Eric Bischoff's fallen back on "Context is king" as a defence mechanism so many times during his 83 Weeks podcast that it really is a wonder the vocal Republican hasn't given politics a shot in an era of WWE Hall-Of-Famers making it all the way to the White House. He's had all the answers when he's had no answer at all, which was a trick often played by the former Secretary Of State for Children, Schools and Families and Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls during his time in and out of power as an MP in the United Kingdom.
A blustering centrist speaker during a time of poorly-maintained centrist power, Balls later gained fame for an infamous Twitter gaff and a banter run on Strictly Come Dancing. It was the latter that convinced the BBC that he was the perfect choice to host 'Travels In Trumpland'; a rather patronising swing through the United States to try and find those that felt spoken to by the President's bombast and rhetoric, drawing lines to his own country's similarly divided Brexit-based omnishambles.
Punching downwards to pro wrestling, the programme sneered at the industry via an arm-around-the-shoulder pretense. Balls donned a leotard strictly for the viewer-grabbing visual whilst pulling faces more fake outside of the ring than his hammiest efforts between the ropes. The Munford Community Center didn't exactly look full-to-bursting on the night either - Balls had yet again failed to engage his public.
