King Mal the Glorious

There was an Ortiz promo on Rampage that indicated the spat with Eddie is still ongoing. Hopefully it leads to the return of Santana and either a tag or trios run.

Echoing the sentiment that that Dynamite was naff, I wasn't invested in any of it. This is the coldest AEW has felt to me.

The 8 man looks a bit weird and seems strange to have chucked OC into it with no real sort of meaning to the 8man. 

Lethal and Co have attacked OC and Best Friends a few times recently, including in the main event of Rampage just gone.

I'm amazed Hammerfest/HRH have lasted this long, they've been shady as fuck since day one. I did enjoy the one fest of theirs that I went to though, Doom/Stoner in 2019.

They did still include that storyline, Ortiz ran in and ended up brawling to the back with Black, King and Sting.

Dig Brew in Brum have gone under, a real shame as they were a great little brewery in the area.

While it is a shame I'm not really surprised. The only time I saw any of their beers up here they were insanely priced and had very little fanfare.

I think over the next year or so we're going to see a fair few breweries disappear. The industry seems more trend based than ever and I don't think it's helping anyone.

Flattest Rampage in a while. I don't mind Andretti but he's got to get more accurate with his flips, felt like he missed half of them.

Edit: Android = doubleposting

As an aside: are there any male wrestlers doing only fans etc? It's not a thing I've heard of but surely as physically fit and famous guys some of them could get a decent pay day from it? 

It's 1000% not Punk. They were already building to Hangman reuniting with the Bucks before Brawl Out, this is just the start of getting that back on track.

My favourite director, I even enjoy the more maligned stuff like Vampires and Ghosts of Mars. It's a toss up between The Fog and The Thing for me.

If you get the chance to see him play live, do it! I caught him at the Tyne Theatre a few years ago and it was a great night.

Entirely plausible, I've seen Scanners.

But Newcastle were VERY negative. I was quite surprised by it. They used every trick in the book as well. Was a bit like an old Jose team, Fair play to them

We weren't quite as attacking as usual, but we were away to the top side in the league. It's not like we parked the bus and never went forward, we had a couple of decent chances.

Two cup games up next, hopefully it's a chance to rotate the squad a bit and get ASM and Isak back up to speed. Feels even more mad that we're third and our record signing has only played 3-4 games all season.

Aye, if none of them are going to get a decent singles run Eddie + P&P would be good trios contenders.

Dominion Festival in Durham is shaping up very nicely indeed if you're a fan of more traditional metal:

They said it was over! I hope Mox pastes him in 30 seconds and we never have to think of this feud again.

I think it was more jarring as Cash is rarely ever called Wheeler by the comms team, we're used to only hearing it for Yuta.

The crowd is going to go absolutely wild when Takeshita finally wins a big match. Lad is a star.

I like Dustin, but I could never believe he'll take the belt off (for example) MJF, so there'd be no emotional investment from me. If you must have him go after a belt, there's the TNT/AA/ROH world/TV etc.

Jericho vs Dustin for the ROH title could be decent actually.

Didn't someone get 'killed' by a train in Impact a few years ago?

Anyone ever been over to graspop? 

Twice! It's very well run and dead easy to get around considering the size of it. Food and drink is insanely expensive though. It was nearly a tenner for a small tray of chips in 2018, I dread to think what it will be now.

I could have sworn the graphic said June, but I've gone back and it doesn't. Brain fart, sorry!

They announced on one of the shows last week that it would be in June, London only. No venue was mentioned.

The new single is decent, digging the NWOBHM vibes.

the issue is one 200m stretch of street doesn’t need 5 of them. 

Back home in South Shields, we had 5 Greggs on one street. No wonder it's one of the fattest places in the country.
