Flair’s Last Match should never have happened. Terrible.
-
Four out of five nominations are MJF… I voted for Dax
-
That Vince one’s lost its shine a bit since the nominations thread.
-
Hangman, you lovely cowboy. 🐎
-
Danhausen cursing Regal was brilliant. I love that something as stupid as “Scissor Me, Daddy Ass” became the most over thing in AEW, but … Danhausen cursing William Regal!
-
Not very Ucey of me, but I voted MJF/Punk. The Bloodline story’s not even finished yet!
-
Sami had a cracking year, from Knoxville to the Bloodline. Next year could be even better for him. But Mox carried AEW through a pretty turbulent year. This award is his.
(Should be Sting though.) -
Jamie and Bianca are great, but Jade is a megastar.
-
It’s THAT video. The best post in the best thread of the year.

I'm willing to believe aspects of the Shakespeare Authorship theory. Not so much any of the alternative candidates but the argument that not everything we attribute to Shakespeare was the work of one particular man called William Shakespeare.
It's not any one piece of evidence. I don't know if that infamous image of Shakespeare from the folios was deliberately shit or just shit. I don't know how many languages Shakespeare knew. I do know that it's believable that a playwright collaborated with others who may have written whole scenes. I also know that it's believable for someone to pay others to write any old shit for them and then whack their name on it and say that they produced it.
But any question of the authorship of any of the works for Shakespeare seems to cause controversy. I remember a very disappointing QI episode where they quickly dismissed it as being the domain of snobs who didn't believe that someone in Shakespeare's class could have written some great plays and sonnets and some very shit ones. There are some who posit that view but it's a very shallow and ignorant view of the field. That's ignoring the irony of that coming from a panel consisting of largely Oxbridge graduates who probably should be aware that it's not necessarily a question of intelligence or knowledge but opportunity.
Here's how I like to imagine most of the plays were written:
Person A reads a story. Thinks it would make a good play. Tells Person B to write it.
Person B writes a very wordy play. Gives it to the actors and theatre.
Actors go "who wrote this, George Lucas?"
Theatre goes "where's the blood and the knob gags?"
Person C rewrites them with blood and knob gags.
James Shapiro wrote a really good book on the subject called Contested Will that you might enjoy. He explores each of the main theories and the history behind how they developed, and is open about the fact he (rightly I think) believes Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare but clearly collaborated with other playwrights of the time (it’s widely acknowledged Titus Andronicus was co-written with George Peele for example).

Thoughts and prayers are with Max Caster at this tough time. It’s hard to rhyme with, “Saudi.”
K-Kwik would have had no trouble.

Have been watching Ghosts on the iPlayer, and think its fantastic. A rare show, where theres not one bad character. Every character works perfectly, and is played to perfection. Nearly finished Season 4, and hope it continues, as the standard hasnt dropped at all.
Quick question about an episode in Season 4:
Mary's 'moving on' just seemed very unusual, and came out of nowhere. There was no real storyline behind it. It almost felt like it was an extremely rushed thing, and felt out of place and didnt really make any sense. Was there any news/rumours around this, as if you didnt know any better, it feels almost as if she was sacked on short notice.
SpoilerAs I understand it, Katy Wix had decided she wanted to leave, so they used it to explore the idea that sometimes we can lose someone completely suddenly and unexpectedly - sometimes you don’t get prep time for grief, it can happen anytime. So some of that feeling you got was probably intended, though it’s a massive shame she’s no longer in it as she’s great.

Steven Well and Timothy Dunn have passed away as well, I think, but these stats are always amazing.
I’ll add them in. They were only in the one Rumble so that means 1995’s Deceased count is now at 9.

On the DLR, the Train Dispatcher is still essentially the captain of the ship. So while you might not pay them as much as a regular train driver on the mainline, there's still a necessity to have them on board and give them a fair shake. Apart from the physical dispatching, they also deal with the public generally during the trips and all of the fun that no doubt entails, and they are the point of contact for the control centre on the network, and vice versa. The need step in for manual operation might not just be down to a system failure - it could also be if there are trespassers on the line for instance. It's not an every-day occurrence for every dispatcher, but they are still essential personnel.
With the second example of the Thameslink trains, the job of the driver is just as involved as other mainline trains for the routes they serve - if not more so. For most of the route they operate the trains in the usual way. The only computer-based section is for a short distance within the middle of the capital - which again they need to be physically present to acknowledge. If this fails, they need to also manually control the train through that section. Then, they also need to be available to change the electrical currents from overhead wires to third rail power, as they move across the network and vice versa.
I'm sure one day the technology will exist for complete driverless-through running - we're quite a way off from that though on the UK network at least. The UK network is an extremely complicated and often infuriating place - much of it runs along Victorian infrastructure, different electrical currents, no electrification at all in some cases, and it all costs a silly amount to maintain.
...Basically what I'm saying is that we should build monorails instead.
I don't know, I hear those things are awfully loud.

Gameboy
This was the first one for me. Inherited from a relative who decided they were too old for games, came with Mario, Tetris, and Asteroids. An essential whenever we went on holiday, an essential for any spare minute once Pokemon Red/Blue came out.
Upgraded to Gameboy Color which must have been for Pokémon Gold/Silver (I was all aboard the Pokémon hype train for a while there) but those games aside I didn’t have quite the same love for it as the original.
I had a Gameboy Advance which I assume was again for a Pokémon, though I couldn’t tell you which colour at this point. I mainly remember the excellent version of Mario Kart the GBA had.
Tried a 2DS for train journeys in 2016/17 but never quite got into it. Got far enough into whichever Pokémon it was to get the luchador bird guy.
NESThis was our first proper console. I don’t remember getting it, but I remember Mario again, Duck Hunt, Kung Fu, the first level and only the first level of one of the Dizzys, complete with its weird slightly different looking cartridge, McDonaldland, and a simple Pac-Man style game called Trog where you were a dinosaur going after eggs before the cavemen got you.
My brother in law got one of those arcade machine emulator things recently and to my joy I discovered Trog was on there, it’s still great.
The only other main Nintendo console we had was a Wii which got a lot of use. Wii Sports was the big one, but it had another fantastic Mario Kart, and we had the full set of Guitar Hero instruments which meant a hell of a lot of Beatles Rock Band.
Megadrive
This bridges the gap between NES and PS1. We had the six game cartridge with Columns, Italia 90, Streets of Rage, Golden Axe and the others and to be honest, I think those were the only ones we ever played. Who needed extra games, this one game was already six!
We did get a Game Gear at one point, and I played Sonic on that, plus the first part of the first level of Ecco the Dolphin, but I never loved it like the Gameboy.
PS1
This was the console that hooked me. I wrote about it lots in the PS1 Nostalgia thread (Thread of the Year by the way, vote for it when the Awards go up).
It’s been Sony consoles all the way from there.
PS2
This was THE one for me. My favourite of all, because I played it constantly for about a decade.
We were somehow lucky enough to get a PS2 on release day through pre-order and opening that bright blue box on Christmas Day 200….1(?) was an absolute thrill. Got Tekken Tag Tournament (the best Tekken), SSX and FIFA 200……the one with Paul Scholes on the front. All played to death.
It’s the PS2 games I’ve got the most nostalgia for. Not just Tekken Tag (I would subscribe to the expensive levels of PS Plus instantly if they made this available), but the first 3 Guitar Heros and the Aerosmith one, Jak and Daxter, Simpsons Road Rage (again, instant subscription if I could play this again), Futurama, SmackDowns 4 and 5, and many many more. This was the console that went to uni with me and my housemates and I would have Tekken 4 tourneys most nights in final year. It survived long enough that in 2012 when my wife and I were first together, she brought her copy of 007 Everything Or Nothing (or maybe it was Nightfire) over to mine because she still had them despite her dad chucking their PS2 years earlier.
Oh, and it had a DVD player!
PS2 is my favourite.
PS3
Got this to play Ghostbusters and Arkham Asylum. There were games I loved on the PS3 - Red Dead, Uncharted and WWE All Stars (the best WWE game). But as a console I never quite got the same feelings towards it as the PS2. Kept it until it stopped being able to read discs in 2017, but had no major desire to upgrade again.
PS4
Until I got a new phone contract which came with a £100 Dixons voucher for some reason. I didn’t question that because it meant the PS4 was now just about affordable and I could play Uncharted 4.
When my wife and I moved in together in 2017 the PS4 came too, and we spent a lot of time playing Crash Team Racing, the Last Of Uses, Assassins Creeds and Spiders-Mans. The PS3 years had me kind of falling out of love with gaming but the PS4 started to hook me back in, not only playing games but finishing them. It was a godsend during the lockdowns too, and it lived until pretty much this day last year when it just wouldn’t switch on anymore. Completely dead.
PS5
But again, through sheer generosity of a relative with money, we got a PS5 last Christmas. It’s almost exclusively been used to play PS4 games up to now. It’s not perfect - so I have the Guardians of the Galaxy game and most levels are decorated with this glitchy red sparkling thing that also appeared in Assassins Creed Odyssey whenever you went into a cave, and the red sparkles apparently mean your console’s faulty, and I don’t know how to fix it - but since the PS4 stopped working it’s been good to have. I mostly just play whatever free games are on the basic PS Plus each month, and will buy one or two new ones a year max, while my wife has spent the last three months consumed by Red Dead 2.
Still, bring back PS2s.

January just isn’t the same without @tiger_rick’s Rumble stats.

I’d like Santana back, but I don’t necessarily need a reteam with Ortiz (though they’d be good against The Acclaimed). Babyface singles Santana running through the JAS would be good.

Was it announced if this was for the TNT Title? I know Darby was pissing about with the belt after Joe's match with Wardlow but I can't remember if they said the belt was on the line or not.
It doesn't feel like the right time for Joe to drop the belt just yet but AEW do love giving people big wins in their hometowns.
I'm sure Sting shouted at Darby on Rampage to "go get your title back", and I'm not calling Sting a liar!
Wrestling Awards - Worst TV Show 2022

Rampage started the year well as Hook’s show, and ended the year well as Orange Cassidy’s show, but had that unfortunate mid year slump when ROH effectively took it over.
NXT got my vote though. For a show that used to be my favourite, I had zero interest in any of it for all of 2022.
