They should do the honourable thing and let Dom defend it for her.

Cody is one of the only guys who I watched for years and saw absolutely nothing special in him right up to his AEW run then one day turned wrestling on and he suddenly had that it factor and I still can’t fathom how he did it. 

There’s definitely AEW guys and WWE guys. MJF fascinates me as a prospective future WWE employee. He’s great but a lot of the joy of him comes from his journey. He’s definitely got the tools and part of what has made him so successful in AEW is how ‘WWE’ he is compared to the workhorses and Indy darlings on the roster but there’s the nagging feeling that he disappears in to the mid card in WWE.

Eddie Kingston would make a cracking Brooklyn Brawler in WWE.

That's your Mum you're thinking of. Easy mistake to make.

Two out of three, she’s a tea drinker.

I’ve always imagined Bacon to smell of fags, coffee and wanking.

Liverpool and Arsenal both doing a cracking Arsenal impression today. Goodbye sweet Jurgen, you were always too good for us.

Tony Khan is far too inconsistent with his character to be the good guy he’d like to be seen as. He’s almost seen as some kind of socialist billionaire wrestling saviour by virtue of not being the rapey sex maniac across the road. 
 

HHH is a small petty man at the best of times but he’s obviously going to sell being rejected for a smaller fed as being on the fault of the rejector. Ospreay made absolutely the right call, he’s massive for AEW and gets to write his own ticket there. 

Of course heels can be entertaining. You’re meant to enjoy watching them. As long as the reaction they illicit is that of booing and hissing they’re doing their job right. Cunts like Austin Theory get nothing, the crowd see right through him as the mid 2000’s era fitness model looking shit cunt throwback he is.

If Solo taking control of The Bloodline and adding his own members leads to a confrontation with Roman where he asks Solo what gave him the right and Solo gets to say “I did it for The Rock” then I will be fucking ecstatic!

Sometimes race, gender and identity are pivotal to the story. I don’t think I could buy in to a straight historical epic like Shogun if all the Japanese characters were white, brown and all the colours in between. Then again turn that epic in to a musical where all the characters rap and you can cast who you want to play anyone you like. If it’s a completely made up story like Doctor Who then you have creative license to bend and change that story to anything imaginable. The audience will decide if it works.

I didn’t see the uproar when Ice Cube took over the XXX franchise.

I’m about half way through Fallout and it’s tonally the most perfect adaptation from a game to tv/film there’s ever been. It manages to pay fan service whilst being appealing to a mainstream audience of non sweaty neckbeards. The Last of Us did a great job but that is a much more straightforward adaptation. Jonathan Nolan is forgiven for that last series of Westworld.

Btw I tried the birthday trick with the restaurant down the way but no free linguini bolognese. Should have gone to the chippy again.

Keith probably gets linguini from his chippy.

You've got dinner ladies working in the same canteen where people are eating out of lunch boxes. Makes you think, doesn't it?

Is that the same thing as a butty box?

Why do wrong people call the midday meal lunch but the people who serve it dinner ladies?

I’m sure City were grateful of the help in overcoming the mighty Everton.

But Arsenal.

This needs to be the start of Christians next feud.

What was the last backstage fight that was reported in the WWE locker room? Genuine question. Because I can't recall one for yonks. I don't think that's an acceptable part of the industry any more. I certainly don't think Punk will be employed if he does that to Ricochet or something next week.

Kofi Kingston filled Xavier Woods en-suite shower compartment with plastic play pit balls because Woods borrowed his copy of Call of Duty without asking.

I know it doesn’t make it ok. But that was similar to the scuffles you’d get in a football dressing room. 

I’d rather see that to be honest. Imagine Spurs going on Match of the Day and announcing they have some Diddy Cam footage they’d like to show from the away changing rooms of Arsenal players shoving each other. Yes Bacon, Spurs are the AEW to Arsenals WWE in this scenario.

Somebody needs to release the Orndorff/Vader/Flip flops footage now.

So what’s this Okada fella all about then? He has a great face, one of those people who are pleasing to look at faces but having no previous experience of him he doesn’t instantly strike me as the superstar I’m being sold. Is he one of those guys that takes a bit of time investment to get the full package or am I missing it? Also, listening to the commentary try to get his rip chord lariat over as a deadly finisher just illustrates the problem you have when you have a dozen more deadly looking moves not even finishing matches on the same show. I’ve always loved a lariat and variations of it as finishers but when you’ve got top rope brainbuster near falls it’s a tough sell for a medium sized guy to get a regular looking lariat over.

I didn’t find any of it depressing. Funny,  pathetic and cringeworthy yes. Depressing no. I could have happily lived the rest of my life without seeing it but I’m glad someone was stupid enough to show it in all its pathetic nothing glory. Nobody was seriously hurt, there’s no serious real life repercussions. CM Punk is and always will be a pathetic magnificent man child. He’s great at pro wrestling but part of what makes the whole package so interesting is the real life fragile baby underneath that incredibly thin skin. 

I know it sounds like a bit of a stretch and a backwards way about doing this but it is Tony Khan so who knows. I think this was his way of trying to take control of the narrative and get the speculation done with and out of the way. It’s literally the only thing that doesn’t make him look like a complete fool with no self awareness. Oh wait, maybe it is a stretch.

It always tickled me that Lou Carpenter, that most Australian of characters, was played by an Englishman.  Perhaps as part of his heel turn he could adopt a British accent.

Lou Carpenter would play a great Democracy Manifest guy in the biopic. Try to imagine Lou saying “Are you waiting to receive my limp penis?” See, the same!
