Nigel Spots ……… More Wrestling Posters

Darrell would prefer and, at present, still remains a total stranger to the wrestling ring, however it does hold a certain fascination for Nigel, but for the time being he is content to just "admire” the posters he occasionally spots around Evesham.

Sometimes he finds it hard to draw himself away from musing upon the wrestlers and the rufty tufty characteristics they want to portray.

After much pondering he had to admit that he really wasn’t that sure as to what manly attributes these two gentlemen were trying to convey …… and let’s just say he was far too embarrassed to look too closely at the lady wrestler to form an opinion as to her perceived persona.

Nigel decided to call this first gentleman “The Half-Hearted One” as he looked as if he’d painted on one stripe then couldn’t be bothered to finish the rest. “One black stripe,” Nigel declared, “does not a menacing gladiator make!”.

And the efforts of “Mr Sniffer”, in Nigel’s opinion, weren’t that much better, as he looked as if he couldn’t even be bothered to tidy himself up by buttoning up his shirt and if that that expression was meant to frighten off his opponent Nigel thought he needed to seriously think again. If he had been in the ring with him Nigel would have certainly handed him a hankie and told him to blow his nose properly before starting the bout ….. he just looked like he was sniffing, a most unsavoury habit at The Towers, hence Nigel’s name for him.

Nigel has summed up the characters perfectly. Will TtS be tempted to go along?
