I'll never understand peoples interest in fake wrestling. I could never sit down and match a scripted football match For 'grown-ups' it's not so much abut who wins, it's about the performers putting on a hard hitting spectacle that can suspend your disbelief.

You have to see wrestling as entertainment, like other tv shows.
I did love to see wrestling in the late 90's, but the product today is rather weak. But I watch it occasionally

All the boys I know watched it in the 90's...and I don't know anyone that does now but everyone knows that the name changed because everyone scratched their head about it a bit.
I never watched it voluntarily (but i had an older brother) and I still know the name was changed

I would say he is a fan of wrestling. Back during the recording of Be Here Now there was a photo of him in front of a chalkboard where he was pointing at the saying "The best there is the best there was and the best there ever will be" which was Brett Hart's catch phrase during the mid 90's in WWE.

im sure the only wrestling noel ever watched was the classic itv shit from the 80s, with the legends big daddy, kendoh nagasaki and giant haystacks! Yeh, this is 100% what I assumed too. Everybody (especially kids and old grannies) loved watching this on Saturday afternoons in the 1970s and 80s. Then those fuckers decided to cancel the TV shows in the 90s, essentially killing off britsh wrestling at a stroke.

Don't think he's still watching it. He'd choose John cena or Randy Orton or anyone like that. Or at least The Rock or Stone Cold. Not a guy who left wwf/e in 1994. But yeah Savage died so maybe that's the reason for it. And he said WWE not WWF. So maybe he knows a thing or two about the post-attitude era

Noel is a huge fan of wrestling,has been for many years. He has referenced it in a few interviews over the years. He said he wanted to go to a WWE live event like 10 years ago. Make no mistake,Noel is a big wrestling fan.
Back in the mid 90's he loved watching the promo's of the WWE superstars of the time and the cage matches.

I don't suppose you remember which interviews (websites, magazines?) he said this to? I'm really interested in finding this out. In a 2009 'Tales from the middle of nowhere' entry Noel said he had spent hotel room time watching American Football during the US tour which I never would have thought. And in the "surprising revelations" file there was the 2000 NME interview where, when asked what was his favourite biscuit, he said he used to watch Prisoner Cell Block H late at night while eating packets of Hobnobs. The guy is fuckin' Jesus, God, Allah, Buddah & Muhammed all rolled up in one.
