If I was to go head to head with you, I'd want to give it everything I've got. As I said, I wouldn't want to half-arse it.

Am reading a book on British wrestling in the JP era, noting down the names that are still with us - Blondie Barratt struck me as one in particular.

Your passing up the opportunity to go head to head with me even just for the fun of it? I've always enjoyed a good head to head in life.

I suppose it would be a major stretch to say Joan Collins is so devasted at the death of her close long time friend Valentino that it drastically affects her health and leads to her dying and thus another big 2026 celebrity death......?!

British wrestling should figure more for next year’s list, a lot of the surviving World of Sport era names are up there in age now.

Sorry @Hugo ‘Hugh’ Harvey, but Mary Costa is a duplicate option; you posted around the same time, which probably explains what happened.
