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.

One of the reasons why young rock is good. As is the urban myths episode about Andre.

is a show I have looked at, seen trailers and thought coudl be good, seems to have decent ratings, but is that just the Americans love of all things related to him at present?

@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.

That's what I should have said. You doing season 2? Watched the first episode or two and it just seemed a bit meh.

I've found S2 to be fine, the same as S1. Actually, I think I'm on to S3 already.

I remember how black my snot got the first time I visited London and rode the tube for a few days. Not a huge leap to think some of it can get in further

My wife and family are in the air right now to the UK, I reminded them of the black snot from the last time in London, after the kids complained about Auckland's air pollution

Black snot = black lung = black blood?

Took the wife and daughter in law about a year to get over London cough. Then along came Covid and we can’t tell what causes what.
In some stations (especially the deeper ones) the air is decidedly scary looking. It is coloured.
I rode my bike to commute for a while and had to wear a particulate filter mask and glasses because of the diesel muck.

Black lung was/is due to coal dust. But I assume it's a similar process breathing in all sorts of toxic particulates
