Huh, I'd never heard dwelt until today, I've always used dwelled. Go figure.

In American English, the past tense and past participle of dwell is usually dwelled. In varieties of English from outside North America, dwelt is the preferred form.

Had a listen to that. So many fascinating yarns, Wrestlers do tell the best stories which are often way more entertaining than anything that happens in the ring.

One consistent amongst all of them is that Haku/Meng/King Tonga is the one guy none of them wanted to fuck with.

@taniwharugby season 1 was good, I haven't really got into season 2 yet.

It's more about the other characters really and quite funny to see them all.

It's just a fun easy watch and each episode has a bit of wrestling history, and not just The Rocks era as he seemed to grow up around all the 80s WWF dudes us old farts all watched.
