A year on from being inducted into WWE's Hall of Fame - an honour generally reserved for veterans who've left the ring behind them - Greg Valentine made an inexplicable cameo on a 2005 episode of Heat, looking as good - or, given he was never really a muscle guy, as bad - as ever, in an entertainingly albeit brief encounter with Rob Conway.

That was fifteen years ago, and it felt like an anachronism then. Valentine linking up with '80s partner Brutus Beefcake in 2013 - The Barber's complete with nipple rings and all - could more appropriately have been dubbed 'The Nightmare Collective' than the 'Dream Team'.

It's 2020, and 'The Hammer' is still banging those nails (though not, sadly, having bangers with Nailz). Amongst his most recent highlights was a six-man tag featuring both the longest reigning Intercontinental Champion of all time, Honky Tonk Man, and a former WCW World Heavyweight Champion. Um, David Arquette that is.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
