Any hyped sport events that get nowhere near the hype ?

Any world snooker final that came after the 1985 final where dennis Taylor beat steve Davis. Nowadays it's faceless, characterless potting machines whom nobody recognises grinding out staggeringly dull matches. The 1985 final was a true epic.

Hard to get worked up over any snooker match.
It's hardly 'Rumble in the Jungle'.

If it wasn't for Seb they would be using yawnmula 1 recordings to anaesthetise those on operating tables

Dennis Taylor and Alex Higgins = best snooker players ever to have graced this flat earth.

Yup, women should leave the sport to men.  Womens Rugby World Cup was being played here over the past week or so.  Lots of burly looking women walking around, would have been better at home tidying up instead of making eejits of themselves trying to play sport.
