Counts for me. Were being brought in to feud with the Harts for the belts because the runs with the Bulldogs and Killer Bees had ran their course. Appeared on one house show in St Paul to challenge the Harts (a convenience, as they were based in Minnesota while working for the AWA) then taped one squash match in New York which I believe has never seen the light of day. Rubbed a few guys the wrong way in the locker room including Andre, partied a little too hard that night, got sacked. One and done.

What?? No, it annoys me. To your “literally everyone” observation, I’ve never heard it used by anyone English before but full disclosure, it’s possible I’ve not been in many conversations where the label for that demographic has been used. Fair to say had I heard a “zee” used by Brits, I’d have been here before, already complaining about it. I take mild offence to the idea this was anything but a genuine grumble, especially how infrequently I take the time to post almost anything these days. This is (sometimes) a safe space to pop in with a petty whine and see if it resonates, so that’s what I did. I’m in my 40s, I couldn’t give a flying fuck about being “performative” anything. Especially not here in Off Topic when slowly but gradually over the years it’s felt like posting anything close to an opinion about almost anything is a pitfall waiting for someone or another lurking round the corner to meerkat up and tell me my feelings or opinions are invalid. Right on cue… No, I wouldn’t. Because that’s a name, stage name or otherwise. He says how it’s pronounced so I wouldn’t contradict him any more than I’d tell Niamh or Siobhan they’re saying it wrong. Shared common language is a hill I can die on. Yanks are wrong when they say “twot” when they’re trying to say twat, it’s zed if you’re not a colonist. But you know, whatever. I’ll stick to wrestling, it’s been a long time coming. ENDUT, HOCH HECH.

Spotted on a doc : English web journo mentioning “Gen Zee” as opposed to “Gen Zed.”

Anyone else given this a whirl? https://www.champman2627.co.uk/ Really enjoyed a “quick season” though in typical Spurs fashion every 3-0 at Old Trafford was followed swiftly by resting a couple and losing 5-1 at Portman Road. Even more typically, I was 4th for most of the season until a dip in form for the last two games saw me finish 5th. C’est la Spurs.

It’s the only part of the match I’ve seen and it was dumb as fuck. Increasingly elaborate, increasingly obviously safety staged with not a jot of thinking “isn’t this at least meant to look real?” all for the sake of “moments” to “go viral.” The crowd look like they went mild too. I don’t blame them, how do you get up for yet another “Oh, they’re doing a stunt” bit?

Good call. Lets hope Liv regaining the belt finally leads to Becky getting final revenge and taking it off her. And Tiffy cashing in is done as a heel turn, she’s wasted as a face.

Congrats in advance to Man United, just seen our team sheet. A back four that’s never played together AGAIN, definitely not a game to hand Senesi a league debut. Bergvall & Gallagher in the same side screams that we’re going to be overran in the middle, if ever there was a situation and a fixture that needed Bentancur, it’s today. I dunno. RDZ did brilliantly tail end last season but just like AVB after the Bale money was spent, it feels a bit like he’s throwing darts at a board to pick his team week in and week out.

Kev winning seems like such an obvious home run and would be such a missed opportunity not to, they’re bound to go in another direction.

It’s fucking bollocks how only half the stars turn up to these nowadays. Only two of the top champions booked immediately reduces the number of fun same-night cash in scenarios you could speculate over by half. And what’s the logic of Cody not wrestling? I think after the Rumble this is the PLE that suffers most from their current minimalist approach to actual matches. Dogwank.

I still can’t really find the words, to be honest. Broken. Maybe not every thought needs to expressed.

This reads like the natives experimented with a pasta. By frying it, probably.

That ladsladslads cover version of Together (Togevva?) In Electric Dreams on the McVities ad is one of the worst things I’ve ever heard. And I’ve heard The Wombats.

My general opinion is half the time it’s not the execution as such but that the idea was fundamentally flawed from the start. Having said that, I was once chatting to Chat GPT about Money In The Bank and it told me Miz cashed in on Orton at Survivor Series so I know I can never trust it. Give him a picture of a Spitfire and let him go.

Ok, my knowledge is about to be exposed as 100 years old but here goes. Mrs raid and I are thinking about upgrading from our PS3, on which we almost exclusively play Diablo 3, to a (disc) PS5, on which we will almost exclusively play Diablo 4. I have questions about both, on the (PS5) slim chance any of you have the same setup ; (1) How does it work with PSN accounts on the disc PS5? Are you able to play co-op on two accounts or are you restricted to different user profiles on the same account logged onto the console? (2) I keep reading conflicting reports about the disc version of Diablo 4 requiring a code/licensing itself to one account or user? Is this a thing? What’s a battle net account and do both the wife and I need one to play co-op and save both characters progress? I need these explained to me like to a moron. Any of you play “couch co-op” on disc ps5, playing Diablo 4?

Oh please. I live on P******* Lane in an area of Greater Manchester. One time Amazon marked an order delivered “in advance” that never turned up - did you know they’re allowed to do that? - and they actually taken it to P********* Street in fucking Newcastle.

I’ve thought long and hard about the 115 charges and I think the only fair outcome is to relegate Chelsea to League 2 and strip them of all trophies won during the timeframe.

My otherwise delightful colleague used “ripping off the band aid” in reference to a difficult customer interaction the other day, despite not being American.

Just looking at that reminds me there’s a Battleworld out there somewhere where the Mean Girls heel group is Tiffy, Chelsea and Blake.

I stumbled upon “PowerSlap” and genuinely thought it was referring to some kind of homage to Power Slam. Back in the day it could have been the companion piece. An email supplement for news tidbits too brief and numerous for the mag proper.

I think the latter. Technically he wasn’t in the WCW Cruiserweight division from the very start but it only really exploded once he started knocking out a banger every week on Nitro.

You could all do with starting with Paul Robinson for an extra 1 from GK.
