MEET THE NERDS: SIMON MEHDI

Writer's picture: WSBFWSBF

How did you join the group?


I remember first meeting Ross after NXT at Wembley arena and spending the whole night talking about our love/hate for lower league football. With him being Bristol City and me being Millwall we both have endured tough spells in the championship. I guess we just felt sorry for each other and became very good pals.


What is your trademark?


I guess I’ve got to keep it PG here. It’s probably me reminding everyone that a jobber from the 90s called Ken Raper existed.


Which is your favourite promotion?


Tough one as I just love wrestling. However if I had to choose, it’ll be Progress. The carnage we all get up to once a month makes it a cut above the rest. There’s nothing like it


Funniest Nerd Group moment?


Ah! If only I could remember most of these nights out. I’ve never laughed as much as I did at Ross’ stag do. It was quality from start to finish with Ross wearing his colourful goal keeper kit in West Ham territory to me being rock bottomed on a bunch of pizza boxes. Top night!


If you could add anyone to the group who would it be?


I would add my biological father The Iron Sheik into the group. He isn’t hesitant to call out a jabroni and make ‘em humble. Plus I reckon he’d do really well in the shot rounds.


Favourite Venue?


Obviously the Electric Ballroom is our spiritual home but I like the fact you can get a decent view anywhere in the Ally Pally. Just a shame it’s a ball ache to get to.


If you could add a rule to the shot round what would it be?


Ban Southern Comfort. Surely that’s a punishment and not a reward!


Create the perfect nerd group member from the groups attributes


Hmm the perfect nerd member? Well it definitely wouldn’t be anything to do with Dan.


Who would win the nerd group rumble and how?


My money would have to be on Robin who executed a perfect swanton bomb at the stag do. Let’s face it, it’ll be pretty tough to compete with that.


Hopes and fears for the nerd group in 2020?


Hopes and fears! Well I definitely fear for my liver let me tell you that! As for hopes... Well, I’m a big fan of the mixer minute between shows so hopefully they can continue to entertain our 126 (and counting) followers.
