@chamatkarsandhu And how many of those aren’t tainted by his habitual juicing?

My 4 year old boy Samuel drew this pic of @JohnCena & Undertaker when he said he would draw me a wrestling picture. Asked me if I could get John Cena to see it. Well, can I? Can Twitter help him out with his quest? @StephMcMahon @HulkHogan @therock @WWE @MickieJames

@Danielhurley100 @ufc @JonnyBones @danawhite @dc_mma @arielhelwani @UFCEurope @simonhead @MattBourne_ @GarethADaviesDT @liamhappe @chamatkarsandhu They’ve been shooting themselves in the foot on that score for a while. This feels like blowing their whole leg off with a bazooka.

I worked in intl TV rights for 10 years. 8 of which repping @ufc & as such I’ve always abhored piracy & illegal streaming. That said, I URGE everyone to stream #UFC232 due to the despicable decision re: the main event. Don’t let them, @JonnyBones @danawhite etc have your money.

[Paul Benson @BensonLives]

@alirsf19 @ufc @JonnyBones @danawhite @dc_mma @arielhelwani @UFCEurope @simonhead @MattBourne_ @GarethADaviesDT @liamhappe @chamatkarsandhu I think so too. WME have done massive damage to the brand. This is the death knell. Most brazenly bad decision I’ve ever seen a major sports franchise make.

Train prob at Newcastle. In 1st class with elderly folk. Big thanks to the helpful @LNER staff who found us spaces on the next train. Thumbs down to the @CrossCountryUK guard who refused to help, said OAPS had to stand to Edinburgh & told me he couldn’t ‘magic up another train’

@AKonMovies You are LITERALLY the first person I’ve seen who didn’t think #AStarIsBorn is an excellent movie. What didn’t you like about it?

[Paul Benson @BensonLives]

I’m FAIRLY confident that we know how good Claudio ‘Won the Premier League with Leicester City’ is. Why must so many tabloid sports hacks make themselves sound like such clowns to garner attention? #Fulham #LeicesterCity #LCFC

[John Cross @johncrossmirror]

Good to have one of the game’s great characters back. But we’re also about to find out just how good Ranieri is...

[Paul Benson @BensonLives]

As a small scale train nerd, that’s class. Can’t wait to see it!

[London North Eastern Railway @LNER]

The Class 91 entered passenger service on the 03rd March 1989. Next year, after 30 years in service we'll start to say goodbye. To honour its heritage during its last period of time on the East Coast Mainline, we've restored 91119 to its former glory and an iconic livery.

@Northpowergrid #Powercut in postcode YO19. Any chance of getting an update? Second power cut in two nights.

[Paul Benson @BensonLives]

Bought a pair of @teamoneill glasses a few weeks back. On my 4-5th wear the arm literally snapped while I stood in a queue without being touched. Emailed O’Neills to ask if they could make up for this and they flatly said no. What a shame. Will be the last pair of those I buy.

[Paul Benson @BensonLives]

What an absolutely absurd opinion. Hands down the most ridiculous comment I’ve read in many years. Everyone is entitled to an opinion but only when it doesn’t come from a place of total ignorance. #ProgressWembley

[Paul Benson @BensonLives]

@JohnnyTheNic @F365 It’s not the gambling ads I have a problem with. It’s the disguising it as news and yet calling out ‘mainstream’ football sites/tabloids when they do similar. That’s the hypocrisy. Straight up adverts for betting sites wouldn’t be a conflict in my eyes for the reasons you state.

[Paul Benson @BensonLives]

How can Mediawatch & @JohnnyTheNic rally against betting in football when @f365 are posting links to https://t.co/p1sQGJhvmb betting articles, putting it in their list of main articles on homepage and labelling it ‘news’. I’ve no problem with sites earning ££ but hypocrisy much?

[Paul Benson @BensonLives]

@JohnnyTheNic @F365 To be fair JN, it’s not you placing those pro-gambling articles. It’s more the fact that F365 is clearly a liberal site which rightly is proud of its morals re: football. Mediawatch regularly rallies against gambling advertising presented as news and yet here it is on the site.

Happy #WrestlingMediaCon week! Tickets still available from https://t.co/TAEjtjw9nt

[Paul Benson @BensonLives]

@DaveBautista When you’re done in London you should come up to #WrestlingMediaCon in Manchester for the weekend. #FinalScore would go down a treat there Dave! :)

[Paul Benson @BensonLives]

When pro wrestling history reflects on this weekend and what a pivotal turning point it was, this is the image that will define that seismic shift. #wrestling #AllIn #Pride #history

[Paul Benson @BensonLives]

All that bollocks about guys with start ups working 18 hour days.... I think this is the first ever time I’ve actually genuinely done it. And hopefully the last. @elonmusk - pass me the ambien! #ChainedToMyDesk #RedWineFuelled #LoveIt #WontBeMakingAHabitOfIt #WrestlingMediaCon

[Paul Benson @BensonLives]

A true pioneer and entrepreneur creating success by marrying his passion to incredible business savvy and excellence as a broadcaster. Very inspiring and @HeyHeyItsConrad deserves all this success. Hope @Starrcast18 slays it! https://t.co/LdCjLeyoCI. @CodyRhodes @bruceprichard
