Paul Burchill was amazing. He had this grand entrance where he would walk out slowly, stop and then charge to the ring before going in to a squash match where he would execute all these high flying maneuvers.The music videos promoting various events with the music from Citizen Smith were really good.What wasn't so good were the worked shoots starting with the one with Hade Vansen where the organization attempted to have us believe Hade Vansen was cutting shoot promos and showing up uninvited and interrupting matches.

I'd probably get this if they offered video downloads like SMV do. Perfect viewing for me on my journeys.

What the hell have they done to SJK? (now Corey Graves) Those jeans were atrocious, and that spiked up hair doesn't suit him nearly as well as his long hair.

So Drew McIntyre and Jinder Mahal appeared in the last NXT episode as individuals still using their old theme music. I guess NXT is taped more in advance than the rest of WWE TV because next show the 2 members of the 3MB are facing each other in a 4 way for a shot at the NXT title.

Well, that's a far better blog than his last one. Good to hear Kyle has done that.

I'll watch this for sure.

Bray Wyatt is fantastic! Genuinely looks and acts out of his mind. The song 'Broken out of love' by Mark Crozer and The Rels accompanies his rants perfectly as well. In FCW he's done promos to that song and its also worked a treat. I'm gutted to learn he's injured, how long is he out for?

Love Chris Hero but wasn't enthralled by him as Kassius OhNo. It was OK though, and I'm not really fussed about the look. I do think he looks better in his old attire though.

I also liked Corey Graves. I liked Sterling James Keenan's work in 1PW and IWC and I'm glad he's grown his hair back and ditched the tight tights. They did not suit him.

I was wondering what the deal was with ROH when I saw King appear on Impact. I was hoping maybe there was an amicable deal between ROH and TNA, similar to what we saw with Christopher Daniels when he worked both companies last year.

Ah well. King was tremendous on Impact. Its a shame we won't get to see him and Titus have a long reign, but things are looking good in TNA. His interaction with Austin Aries is a good sign. Nice to see history, even outside the promotion, exists there.

I quite enjoyed the last TV taping hyping up the next ippv and Rhino vs Davey Richards for the next TV episode.

Tyson Kidd has been very likeable on the last 2 NXT's. Bateman and Curtis are fine performers as well.

What was the deal with Justin Gabriel and Alicia Fox being some psychoanalytic hippie group? That was honestly dreadful! It was on the caliber of skits performed by my after school drama class.

Matt Striker on the other hand did an excellent job passing of the torch. I wouldn't mind seeing him as Raw or SD general manager. He came across as sensitive and vulnerable and I couldn't help but like him when he spoke up for himself.

Well, I'll tune in next week. Hopefully something gets made of the show.

That was a fine ROH video wire! Apart from WGTT (whose promo was shit) everyone cut a good to decent promo. Everyone's character is in some way interesting.

Kevin Steen particularly is intriguing. I am really curious to see what happens when he returns.

And..... do I really have to label this a spoiler? What are the terms in this thread anyway?

I got back from Putney about 20 minutes ago and the place is bustling with people as usual, even if several of the shops are closing. A Phones 4 U outlet has its windows smashed and there were police all around casually milled in with the people. No signs of gangsters. Harrods were boarding up.

The Curry's/PC World mega store near Clapham Junction is closed today and being repaired.

Yes, it was the Telegraph article, and the mark on the google map, that prompted me to go up there. No such activity was taking place, unless the cars were torched in the parking lot.

Fulham Broadway is fine. I just ran up there and its dead quiet. One hooded gang walked past me from the direction towards Clapham Junction, but there's no sign of cars alight or looting.

With each report of more break ins, robberies and arson, I am now hoping some force will put down this vile and appalling shit.

I am against the death penalty and propose forgiveness when it comes to having culprits incarcerated, or even dealing with individuals who can reflect on their transgressions. But this is a crisis, and the sooner it stops the better. In an ideal world, all of the perpetrators would be supported and rehabilitated and loved, but right now some lethal force needs to put down this chaos.

A complex opposite Debanems in Clapham Junction is on fire and is reportedly very serious. The whole complex might go up in flames.

Would that Beef Wellington be the same Beef Wellington of IWS/CZW fame who hits an ass punch?

I've actually hopped on the Bravado bandwagon. Their promo with the absurd smiles and some of their tandem offense has won me over.

What the fuck?

No, really, What the fuck was that?

It was certainly different. And with remarks in the comments section like 'Grandma Bravado > Papa Briscoe' could we see Grandma Bravado be an on screen manager for the?

I enjoyed The Wolves vs Smash Brothers as well. And I've been bored senseless by the Aries vs Delirious feud.

On the next episode there's a rather great interview with Davey Richards.

Can't seem to find a picture for this.

But I am submitting in Tim White's apparent suicide at Judgment Day 2006.

I just watched yesterday's video wire, and what a promo and change in character that was for Tyler Black! Its just a shame he doesn't have a few more dates to see his ROH career out.

You'd figure that Tyler would drop the belt to Roderick, or anyone else for that matter, but being ROH, I just can't be sure.

Remember that ingenious swerve when CM Punk was challenging Austin Aries for the ROH Title in his farewell match? That blew my mind, in a good way.

I would actually quite like to see Tyler Black leave ROH as champion, just because the ROH World title has never been vacated and I'd be interested in seeing what would happen.

I would say Austin Aries is too small for WWE. Recently WWE have put aside their limitations on wrestlers, as we have seen with Bryan Danielson and Low Ki, er, Kaval on NXT.
