Speaking on his What A Rush podcast over the weekend, Road Warrior Animal became the latest red-faced wrestler to disappoint those who adored him as a child with some outdated comments on women's wrestling.

Though acknowledging that the scene was on the rise, the legendary Legion of Doomster seemed to express dismay at the toppling of the status quo:

Becky's played an absolute blinder there. Hats off to her, and we look forward to Animal's response during his next podcast.

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.
