That makes sense then, I suppose. Hopefully they'll get a fuller length rematch one day.

I watched this! And I nearly regretted it! Pac vs Okada Not a bad start but I would have liked more pace to this, which I thought I was going to get from these two. I hate that 'go on, hit me then!' shit, especially from a heel, but Okada did some good heel work later in the match and his near fall kickouts are brilliantly timed. I like that most of his stuff is just older school wrestling stuff executed really well. Far longer than it needed to be but loads of fun in its final stretch. House of Black vs Copeland, Briscoe and Kingston Eddie Kingston's usual boring strong style shit and this was just too long as well. Just needed to be a mad sprint, went on forever. Nah. Julia Hart vs Willow Nightingale I think this was my first Willow Nightingale match. Julia Hart has got better every time I've seen her. So I was looking forward to this one, and then it was over as soon as it got started. Fucking hell. Knock 6 hours off the stupid trios match and give them some time ffs. Roderick Strong vs Kyle O'Reilly Good match, this, even if I didn't really care about it that much. Strong's heel run here is easily the most interested I've ever been in him, he's always been a total dullard to me. What the fuck was the point of Wardlow's run in? He gets caught by the ref before he does anything, does a "Oops, you caught me, mister!" and then Strong won clean. So they even found a way to balls this one up to a degree. Hook vs Jericho Hook is an absolutely brilliant talent who they've done fuck all with so far. I don't know about Learning Tree, but Jericho looks like a gnarled yew. There's no point wishing he would fuck off at this point because it's obviously not going to happen. It's amazing how uncomfortable the atmosphere is when Jericho's in the ring, I've never seen anything like it. This was crap. Toni Storm vs Thunder Rosa Now we're talking. Started fast, settled down with nice heavy shots and work from both of them. Easily the best match of the card so far, brilliant near fall on the Storm Zero near the end. Loved this. Will Ospreay vs Bryan Danielson Nigel McGuinness an absolute hoot on commentary again, having the time of his life. Obviously an absolutely fantastic match on almost every level, practically faultless and the only match of the night that needed to go this long. Brilliant. FTR vs Young Bucks A ladder match, so the usual thing, really. Didn't outstay its welcome and I quite enjoyed it but I never want to see the Young Bucks again in my whole life. Same goes for Jungle Boy as well. Swerve Strickland vs Samoa Joe Fantastic match between two of the best around right now. The right time for Swerve after Joe's excellent reign, he's a massive star and they need someone new at the top. Whether his reign will be booked well is probably in huge doubt but a cracking moment. Fair to say this was a show of two halves, the first half was not good at all but the second half far better.

JLM having a proper Dalton Castle-esque breakdown here.

She's brilliant, isn't she? Great to see someone happy to be thriving in that sort of position.

Busted out these when I was watching AEW Dynamite. Gave up on them after four crisps because they were absolutely foul. Two hours later and they've still left an aftertaste. Even worse than the Jericho vs Hook match. 2/10.

No idea if this is the right thread for this but balls to it. 17yo was invited by The Proud Trust in Manchester to take part in a series of interviews they're shooting for their website at The Proud Place, just off Oxford Road near MMU. The interviews are a mix of people who run the charity and various groups under its umbrella (he goes to the Stockport one on Wednesday evenings) and those who have been supported by the service in various different ways. I got invited along because I've become friends with the person who runs the Stockport group, and I just wanted to support 17yo in case he found it a bit much. It was a brilliant experience. Listening to him talk to a neutral party about his experiences of being a trans kid and now a young adult, the difficulties at school and meeting other people like him was an eye-opener and an education. We were then chatting to the film crew at the end and the people who run the place about our shared experiences as dad and son and they decided to shoot an extra segment with the both of us chatting about our relationship and how I've changed as a parent in the last several years. The nicest people, just wanting to help and look after young people who need it so much. I'm so thankful places like that exist. They made the mistake of letting us in their photo booth though.

More than 98% of football clubs didn't spend the best part of a billion pounds to dump a three goal lead to a mid-table Championship team and get outplayed in extra time.

Forgot about Network as well! The Anderson Tapes, Guilty as Sin and Find Me Guilty are good too. Although the latter does feature Vin Diesel with hair so it's disturbing.

I hope @air_raid wasn't drinking when he read that or same.

"Enlarged to show texture"

And that's why he must be stopped at all costs.

The Offence is one of his very best but, like with many of his films, you need to be in the mood for it. The Pawnbroker especially. The Hill, Fail Safe, Running on Empty, Equus and The Verdict are all absolute must sees too. Several others are good value. You rarely go wrong with him.

Your boy on the left has been prominently featured in the People Who Are Pleasing To Look At thread, I believe.
