I really like the Maya and James pairing, I kind of want the overarching story of the series to be them running through one third-Traitor after another, while they both survive every time.

God. So awfully, horribly sad. You’re right. No words. PAC/Ben’s wife Natalie did a heartbreaking Instagram post a few days ago too.

I think I’ve only heard people say “Gen Zed”. It’s definitely the way I’ve been saying it too! Our current minor annoyance: the toilet’s broken. We only have the one. When the bathroom was last done they tiled it all in so you can’t get to the pipes and cistern without smashing up the tiles. This means we have to get someone in to fix it and nobody can come for at least another week. I’ve been off work (a useful place to shit) and have had to resort to using a Starbucks down the road that doesn’t have codes on its toilet doors.

It’s not a small idea, but this please

I feel like smartphones are probably smart enough now to have some way of sensing when the user is on public transport, and disabling speaker mode or turning all music apps to mute until they’re no longer on public transport.

And not long after (2008ish? 2010?) D’Lo Brown popped back for a bit. Maybe one televised match against Santino and that was it?

The ones that fascinate me are the people who spent ages and ages and ages in developmental only to have completely flopped on the main roster or had something happen and been released ultra quickly. Brent Albright / Gunner Scott comes to mind, Michael Tarver from the original NXT/Nexus, Chris Cage of the Dudebusters team with Trent Beretta etc. The mid-late 00s were generally full of people who came and went fast. Sylvester Terkay, anyone?

She’ll have a great time, it’s really fun. I think the original tour leg is winding down now, but they recently announced an extension that goes into next summer so hopefully it’s on near you.

It’s a musical, sorry, but we saw the filmed version of Hadestown at the cinema tonight, with the original Broadway main cast, and it was ace. Andre de Shields as Hermes, especially, but Patrick Page’s Hades is the best too. It’s probably on a couple more nights and if you can get along (especially if you can’t see it at the theatre) I recommend it. Another musical, sorry, but we’ve got Operation Mincemeat on tour next month, followed by Oh Mary! with Lolly Adefope in London. That one’s not a musical, as far as I know.

I spent some time with him once when he was in the area for a convention. Really friendly, easy to get on with, loved to chat about his work and his hobbies (I know nothing about fishing but he taught me some stuff!) And of course, he’s fantastic in Breaking Bad. Extremely sad news to wake up to. Edit: I’ve got a couple of photos, which I won’t post here but are nice to look back on, especially now. But I will post the tweet he sent me afterwards:

I started reading it again today; I give it a reread every few years when I need a bit of cheering up. I love Millard’s videos but So Excited, So Scared will always be my favourite thing he’s done.

DCF maybe? A kind of “only in it for the money” vs “for the love of the sport” kind of story?

Just been sent this in a group chat. Newbiggin-by-the-sea if anyone wants to go

AEW’s PAC tribute t-shirts, including the one worn by many of the roster on his tribute show, are available on the UK ShopAEW site. £30.99, with no dealing with international shipping costs, they have said 100% of the profits will go to his family.

Everyone’s already said it, but what a beautiful, moving, emotional, excellent, deeply upsetting, celebratory, devastating show. Had to watch it in small sections through today, I don’t think I could have got through it all in one go. Didn’t help. I’m still a wreck. They couldn’t have done it better but god, I wish they hadn’t had to.
