Reach Wrestling: Episode One. July 8th 2018 at Plymouth School of Creative Arts

I got through the series yesterday. Much, much better than I ever expected. I saw a tweet saying it was like the original Karate Kid mixed in with Mean Girls and Superbad, and that's a spot on description. Johnny kind of reminded me of Randy The Ram Robinson from The Wrestler too, being the out of touch down and out whos glory days were way behind him. 

I never wanted it to end. Bring on Season Two. 

Fash Morgan Webster. 

An young stylish mod that uses "Awooga" a lot. Loves Paul Weller. Hates Gary Mabbot. 

Bought this game called Late Shift on the Xbox Store last night. It's a FMV branching story that plays like a Telltale game where you're a bloke that works as a security guard that somehow ends up getting lumbered into a massive heist for a really expensive porcelain bowl. I was expecting it to be laughably bad like Night Trap, but I actually really, really enjoyed it. I spent at least five hours trying to get the good ending, but each time it ended very depressingly. Gonna have to play it again tonight in hopes of finally getting that happily ever after. 

It's only a tenner, but worth the money.

There's a great two parter video from Slopes Game Room (who's videos I thoroughly recommend if you're into retro games) about the complete history of McDonald's games. He even talks about the mobile games that came out.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO! 

If Brutus Beefcake and Hogan are still friends, he could get Brutus to cut it for mates rates.

Reading Richard's post, I think I got off pretty lightly when I attended his seminar a few months back. Sure, he bollocked me for getting a drill wrong, but other than that, he surprisingly seemed very pleasant. Must have caught him on a good day or something. 

Although he did rant on a bit about how misused he was in WWE by the end. 

For a good while, I was the only person that Kirsten O'Brien from Smart was following. I think I was live tweeting some show about lads mags she presented and made jokey comments about her which I can't remember. 

The guitarist from 30 Seconds To Mars also threatened me because I stated that I hated Jared Leto with every fibre in my body. Their fans really let rip that night.

It seems my account just got hacked. 

I just received an email that I changed my email address to d@(myactualpassword).com, which has baffled me completely, and now I can't access my account at all. 

Any ideas how I can get it back? I've tried to do the forget password thing, but they said they don't recognise my email address. Very concerning. 

Edit: All sorted. Contacted a WWE live chat worker, and they got my account back up and running

I think I've found the best and worst promotion ever. I'm genuinely unsure if this is a parody or not. They make $5 Wrestling look like New Japan in comparison. 

"This Is Wrestling"

So I've just found out that there's a vaporwave artist named themselves after Mike Tenay. Or it actually could be Mike Tenay. I don't know. 

With songs like Jacuzzi Love and Strip Poker, it's hard for me to imagine Mike Tenay as nothing more than a top shagger. 

I watched the first series of White Gold on the iPlayer last night. White Gold is created by one half of the lads who created The Inbetweeners, and features the actors who played Jay and Simon on that very show. 

It's kind of like a more grown up version of The Inbetweeners, but based on Double Glazing Salesmen in the 1980's. 

The main protagonist (if you can call him that) is played by Ed Westwick, who plays the confidence billy big bollocks smug prick to a tee! He is to White Gold as Will was to The Inbetweeners what with the voiceovers and all, except he breaks the forth wall constantly. Joe Thomas pretty much is Simon from The Inbetweeners but with a 90's curtains hair cut, and James Buckley is like a less cruder Jay, but still creepy and sleazy as fuck. And his has a mustache. 

Robert Lindsay puts in a blinding performance as Walshy, who is the owner of the double glazing company who seems like he doesn't give a fuck. 

Go check it out if you were a fan of Inbetweeners before the terrible third series where they just overdid it. It's on iPlayer, or on BBC Two on a weekly basis every Wednesday at 10pm.

I was actually playing Hurricanes (based on the cartoon in the 90's about a footb... Sorry, SOCCER team) for the SNES last night. It's a similar concept to Marco's Magic Football where you're kicking the ball at enemies, but the gameplay is shoddy at best. I did however get a kick out if when you land on something spikey, your ball pops and floats away until you get a new one. Lovely touch.

The now drug addled/booze soaked Donna Marie

The lager and drugs have not been kind at all (nicked off a certain bongo site named after a rodent) 

This is my new favourite YouTube channel, Retro Football TV. 

If you're like me (and I assume Ian and Tiger Rick) and love the glory days of 90's football and shite 90's/00's football games, this is for you. 

The best thing on the channel is Wheel of Wank, a weekly series where the host and a guest (which unfortunately one episode includes that fambludinnit cunt from Arsenal Fan TV) play a series of shitty football games from the 90s.

Check it out!

I assume June Brown reeks of cockles and tobacco. A horrible combination.

I had an encounter with Leslie Grantham in 2006. He smelt like pasties. He was also wearing a jacket which made me imagine he found a stain on it and saying "What the fuck is this shit? Is that chocolate?" ala Jake Roberts on Beyond The Mat.

Leslie was also a cunt.

Seeing Sue and Danny fall to their deaths off the scaffold freaked me the fuck out as a six year old. Watching it back on YouTube just now still freaks my nut out.

What gaming magazines did everyone buy?

I was a big fan of Total! and still have all the issues to this day.

Yep, I loved Total. Nearly applied to have them round for dinner but didn't want them to see how povvy we were.

Total was brilliant. I would collect them monthly until I moved to Germany in 1994. I think I missed Total more than anything when I lived there. I remember seeing a copy of Total in a supermarket, and sprinting up to the magazine aisle. "Finally, I'm about to get my Andy Dyer fix again!" I thought, then my hopes got dashed when it was all German

Moved back to England months later, but the magic wasn't there anymore.

Here's the video of Don West. I popped like a fan in attendance when Austin did a run in during the Mankind vs Rock match. Here's hoping he makes a welcome return to the commentary booth.
