Yeah at the end of her AEW run she had good matches with Kris Statlander which required a lot more than kick -> Jaded, but Statlander is awesome so it was hard to tell how much Jade had improved there too. I’m sure they’ll get her where she needs to be but yeah, even if she improves enough to be able to do a 25 minute epic I don’t think she ever needs to be doing that. I’d book her Lesnar style where it’s throwing bombs from the opening bell and it feels like it could end at any time.

I remember it well. It got cancelled, came back and then got cancelled again. I did see some talk now and again of a potential continuation on Netflix or something - and we've seen with shows like Manifest and Lucifer that it can happen - but I guess the further you get away from it time wise the less likely it'll happen, same with stuff like Hannibal. Definitely pros and cons to all sides really. I'll stick to watching Bargain Hunt.

She's a hard one to judge. I definitely agree the experience will help her as I think it helps anyone. But I know she's been doing a lot of training, so I would hope she's more capable than we've seen so far and it's just the way she's been booked that means we haven't seen much. I can see why some people think perhaps she hasn't improved but we just don't know at the moment.

Whilst I enjoyed it, there wasn't really anything you hadn't previously seen before. I was surprised they didn't have Dave Hedgehog or Spud Gun on to talk about the show.

To show how times have changed, I remember there was an uproar when Jericho was removed from TV and fans clamouring to have Jericho back on their screens. From what I gather it’s more the opposite these days.

Good to see Jade Cargill is booked for a house show this weekend. Hope she gets to do a lot of these. If she can get to the point where she can work a solid ten minute match consistently I don’t think she needs much more.

I don't find it quite so bad now, but back when I was having to torrent a ton of US dramas that never seemed to make it over here - probably 2004 onwards - you often ended up with stuff that was cancelled after like 6 episodes with no resolution whatsoever. For a few years there it was really frustrating because you didn't know if you'd even get a whole season, let alone a whole story. Some of them made full seasons but got pulled off the air. Not to say that networks/streamers aren't bad now but they were pretty damn ruthless back then. I guess at least it's one benefit of streamers dumping full seasons onto their platforms at one time. At least you get to see what they've made.

It pains me that I know the two that aren’t Rishi, and that I know the exact spot that photo was taken as it’s my old hometown.

That's pretty bad that. Everyone knows you only piss through letterboxes. Box full of shit is beyond the pale.

Got this through the door. We only moved into this house 6 weeks ago, bit paranoid that people might suspect it's me....

Basically yeah. Old Cyrus the Virus was the Network rep and thus had control on their TV show. However he had no power on ppv because it wasn't on the Network.

Wild man, wasn't it?

Shittest recreation of Bret Hart's 90s gimmick ever

Exposed was class! I feared it might have just be an excuse to get Ade on the couch with little else going for it but there was plenty of fun insight and - what I never grow tired of - behind the scenes, bloopers and corpsing. As usual Bottom keeps revealing new deliveries and idiosyncrasies that I always knew were there but now note as being completely hilarious. "Get two." "Two? Wow man!"

Swagger's still on the books, right?

I don't like either but 100% agree that are series getting cancelled without an ending is very annoying. I watched a crappy sitcom on Disney Plus called Single Parents recently which I quite enjoyed and it ended on a bloody cliffhanger (as much as it can be with a sitcom) and then got cancelled.

Isn't it also a variant of the Network storyline? I never caught it at the time, but from what I could figure out, it seems like that. Assuming they just make the interfering figure "the Athletic Commission representative", rather than specifically Oklahoma's (think they could be sued if they did), it's definitely a story that would be both interesting and effective in its satire. Maybe they could even fake up a body and call it the "Oklahoma Sports Association"? Make the entire state the villain. That would be some supreme shithousery right there. Mind you, JR might oppose it - but if he's up for it, make him the rep or the liaison for it.

I think you know very well that any amount of time spent thinking about how it could've ended is too much.. i can tell you how it should've ended though; canned after the pilot.

I don’t mind that as much as something just getting cancelled without any resolution whatsoever. Some shows do a sort of half and half season ending so if it does get canned, there is at least some resolution albeit a rather milquetoast one. But I’m sure that, much like Chest, I’ve spent too many hours wondering how 2 Broke Girls would’ve and/or should’ve ended.

It is very irritating when you invest your time in to something and then they don't give you a resolution. I want stories tied up. I hope open ended endings. I don't want to use my brain to interpret an ending, I want you to tell me, it's your story, not mine.

They're both great imo but Monkey Man just edges out in front for me, I think it's definitely a more enjoyable film while Civil War gets pretty fucking harrowing.

Creasy’s art is death and he was about to paint his masterpiece before you turned it off! If I remember correctly the whole point of the slow start of that film is showing Creasy’s relationship with Dakota Fanning develop so when the shit does hit the fan you feel it more. I remember really liking it, plus the Christopher Walken bit I’ve beautifully paraphrased at the top.

So the mother-in-law is comig on Sunday and I've been given the afternoon off, I want to go to the cinema. I'm currently deciding to between either Monkey Man or Civil War...what say you UKFF? I rarely get the chance to go to the cinema these days so I have to get my picks right to avoid crushing disappointment.
