A body has been washed ashore near the place he vanished. Not yet identified.

I think part of it is that Bret came back. If his brother can forgive WWE, go into the HoF and make appearances, why won't his grieving widow?

Ah ok, fair enough then. Grim.

Actually, tell a lie - there is blood, right on the apron. Think I was looking in the wrong place. It's pretty much under the ropes. 

I've just stuck on the opening match (Xpac & Kane vs D'Lo and Mark Henry), I can't see any blood on the mat when the show starts. 

Watching Summerslam 2018. I'd completely forgotten Strowman won money in the bank.

Apologies for my very badly thought-out response. That's the sort of way I would broach the subject with a close friend and after weeks of lockdown and cans of German beer the lines get blurred. 

Well, that and the Jimmy Savile profile pic. 

Not good news about Shad Gaspart:

We've had a letter from the school, outlining the precautions they have to take. No mixing of age groups, maximum of 15 kids to a class, desks 2 metres apart, limited toilet breaks, amongst many others. 

That'll be hell for the kids, seems dumb to put them through that for seven weeks before the summer holidays. She's not going to want to go back in September if that's how she remembers it. 

She's definitely not going in now. 

If The Last Dance has whetted anyone's appetite for basketball, Nba2k20 is on sale on the PSN for £4 for the next few days. 

Just out of interest, anyone else have a kid in Reception, Year 1 or 6? We've already had a phone call from the school asking if we're sending our Year 1 in on the 1st June. 

We've said no, unless there is absolutely minimal risk and infections have reduced even further. I'm not keen for my daughter to part of Johnson's science experiment for the second wave. 

8 January 2005. I'd go back to the day when Exeter, as a non-league side, thrashed Man Utd 0-0 at Old Trafford. Since that day, I've got married and seen both my children being born, but thats still the best day of my life. 

Historically, I'd love to go back to Roman times and see the Colloseum in Rome in all its glory. 

I love the bits where MJ watches other people's interviews. The snort of laughter he lets out when he watches Gary Payton talking about defending him in the finals is my series highlight so far.

Yeah sorry for clarification it’d be a regular bank loan. I’ll check those forums. Our debts aren’t massive in the grand scheme of things, I would just prefer to be square with everything and then just focus on one payment to the bank.

If you're looking at a loan, take a look at Zopa. They do peer-to-peer and the interest rates tend to be much lower. When I bought my house, I have to take out a loan to get some work done on it - bank's interest rates meant I'd be paying about 4 grand in interest, same amount borrowed through Zopa took it down to £1500 in interest.

I've been on the homepage on the WWE Network. Managed to park myself opposite the hard camera at the NXT UK taping at Axxess last year for the Saturday afternoon show. On the thumbnail showing Rhea Ripley before she whupped Kacy Catanzaro, I'm just to the left of her in a grey Daniel Bryan t-shirt. 

It's not just the elderly. My sister decided to drive halfway across the country to collect her new puppy, then head to my 60+ year old parents to show it off. 

Being reported Curtis Axel has been released.

Vince is obviously keen to sell up his stock so he can gazump the Saudi’s and get that takeover of Newcastle United after so many years. 

Or the Saudis are brokering a deal for Mike Ashley to buy WWE... 

Cody Rhodes is on 4 in WWE: Bob Holly, Ted Dibiase Jnr, Goldust and that short-lived team that everyone remembers with Drew McIntyre. 

Thread on Reddit now has Dream sending voice messages, asking what school the kids go to. 

That'll be him suspended and endeavoured then.

I think Mickie was among the cuts the other week.

Rumoured, but not confirmed, as far as I know. 

Titus O'Neil seems to be solely employed as a PR / Marketing guy these days. When was the last time he actually wrestled? 

Kalisto, Roode and Mickie James too. Lars Sullivan should have gone. 

From NXT, Fandango is the one I feared the worst for. 

I've finally got my eldest daughter excited about watching wrestling. All it took was the Dolph and Otis love storyline and her seeing Ricochet in action. 

As someone who played FF7 when it first came out and still count it as my favourite game ever, I've been reluctant to go for the remake in case it ruins my nostalgic memories. If I go for it, is it likely to ruin anything? 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aside from being two parts of a Fatal 4-way for the title, I don't ever remember seeing Eddie Guerrero vs Undertaker one-on-one. Given both were on Smackdown, a run between them could have done huge business for the blue brand at the arse end of 2004 or early 2005, before Rey / Eddie and Taker / Orton.

I've listened to nearly all of the first Wool book from Audible this week. I really like the story and there's something perversely satisfying about listening to a post apocalyptic tale whilst the world fall's to shit (I wasn't ready for The Road)  but the telling of said story isn't all that great. I'm no literary scholar but it all comes across very 'made for t.v.' 

I'll stick with it through the other books though because as I said I really like the story.

 

If post-pandemic apocalypse is good, go with Station Eleven by Emily St John Mandel. The premise is a super-flu with a 99% mortality rate has swept the earth. I finished it last week, really enjoyed it.
