Merzbow

For as much as I want to see it for chaotic reasons there's negative buzz surrounding this company right now, it was already real low regardless of how good shows have been this year but now we're in "FFS" territory.

I'm not even going to attempt to come up with a better way of generating positive hype but it sure as hell isn't this.

This new pre match kit from Seattle Sounders, I adore the shade of blue for obvious reasons but the design is cute too. It's all made from recycled materials, too.

Charli XCX has an arena tour in November but it's going to be 45 quid minimum I think, I saw her only in 2022 and it cost me around £15.. I might be waiting for last second resale tickets for that one.

Yup. It's hilarious when people seem to forget Vince fucking loved taking shots at WCW. Hell even when he was kicking the shit out of them he sent Big Show out dressed as Hogan to mock him. They only stopped mentioning competition when there wasn't any.

Even that didn't stop them warring against WCW, decades later and they shove that stuff into the Sting angle.

It was shite and felt like both of them had the tone all wrong "this is awkward" was right.

Giant Baba is such an odd looking guy, I love every pic I see of him.

Jesus, how far has Nakamura's stock fallen? He still looked good out there but not even a hot Philly Mania crowd gave a shit about him, might as well have had him "already in the ring" like an actual jobber.

He's Cody's business partner in the training school isn't it? Imagine they're close mates too, so not shocked he was there. 

He's class, too. Totally understands how to be a lower/mid card heel.

Get Ricky Starks on board ASAP, AEW has wasted that lad on more than one occasion already.

Apparently this makes her "unprofessional" according to some people. 

It's as if these people are friends in a company and have genuine emotion for their friends success. Mad I know.

Years and years of WWE expecting everyone to work like a fucking robot has people thinking that's how it should be.

I like Samantha, too, but I think a lot of that is how she reminds me of the woman who did the introductions in PRIDE FC.. where's she these days?

Overall it was an ok night but aside from the main event and the general ace production of the show nothing felt big time, the matches were all there and did a decent job but not even Sami beating the 666 day champ felt like something truly special, this was all about The Rock.

Oh and I'd rather have seen a BTE Trigger than those pair of poo Pedigrees.

I really don't want to spoil this too much but Saiko! The Large Family which is suddenly gaining traction online many years after it was released, a Canadian mockumentary set in Japan following a seemingly normal family, it get's real creepy. Video is in the spoiler, I don't think there's a legit way to watch it right now.

So that's why he liked them young..?

I'm here for all the pettiness both sides can deliver at this point, I need skits in response from WWE.

Adele is the only woman to have three songs in the top ten at the same time, also 21 definitely sold more than any Britney album so..

This is amazing, there's also some wrestling related bits (or should I say butts) too.

AJ and Knight just got out from watching Bloodsport or something there? I know Punk was at the event hanging with Nick Gage.

Monkey Man could be right at the top of my favorite modern action flicks, Dev has knocked out of the park here and you can tell it's an utter love letter to minorities and the oppressed in India while also having The Raid level action and being a genuinely great film. Also, I think he's seen Lucha Underground.

I saw the word Sapp and got excited there for a second, Bob would have been perfect.

They moved back to Japan before she was 1. How's Kane's Spanish?

I'm assuming this will mean something to some people on here.

 

She's pretty charismatic, and likely the one current Joshi star that could cross over best into WWE. The last I saw her English was still awful though, I'd always figured she'd speak it as she was born in London.

write “Woody Allen is a Nonce” on a lamppost.

I'm actually going to do this.

Yeah it's two hours but it's great, probably the best thing I'll watch all 'Mania season.

Speaking of Rise Above Hate, was there anything worse than the Kane "Embrace The Hate" angle? It was shit even by Kane feud standards, Cena making out with his jobber mates girl and all that.

I'm nearly through with This Town and I'm torn on it, it's certainly not a bad show but it often feels like two were pitched and then combined into one. The entire IRA plotline feels out of place and takes up so much time, there's a fair lot of inaccuracies that are sure to piss off some.

The music choices are ace exempt for the actual band being portrayed which sound nothing like two tone and more like 00's indie rejects.
