Mr.E

What do you reckon to Killer Croc? We havent seen that much of him in the trailers, compared to some others at least. Do you reckon he'll have a decent part in this, or just a random addition to the roster?

Jai Courtney, who plays Captain boomerang in this i think, looks great!

Yeah, it looks great. In fairness I was sold on the last trailer. I'm much more hyped for that, than Batman/Superman to be honest.

 

Not sure if people had seen as well: (Spoilers potentially I suppose)

 

 

 

That's a good point, never go out looking for love, go out to have a good time and sometimes you bump into someone, that's how I met my wife ha

I tend to avoid posting in this thread but bugger it. I'm perpetually single. Most of the time I'm happy this way as I enjoy my own company and independence but then sometimes (as mentioned above) it'd be nice to have someone to sleep next to. Although I go out quite a bit with friends, I rarely go out to places where you'd normally meet people (i.e. bars and clubs) and although I'm on a couple of dating websites they're not really working for me (maybe my profile repels the opposite sex)...

 

So, anyone have any advice? A guy's perspective would be much appreciated as I've already bored my female friends into comas with this one.

 

Any chance of randomly meeting friends of friends, or do you know any girls through work? There are alternatives for sure, like joining classes/groups in the local area, as an example for cooking or whatever, and meeting people through that.

 

Are you on any of the dating sites that offer singles nights or anything? that seems like a good idea.

This is a bit odd. My wife and I have hardly slept together for two years. I don't mean sex, I mean it literally. She was pregnant and uncomfortable which led tome getting booted onto the sofa a lot and then after baby arrived I tried to do everything to avoid a repeat of her post natal depression so I slept with baby so I could do all the feeds and stuff. Then she got PND and ended up on pills and we had a couple of horrific experiences which quietly haunt us. Now everything is back close to normal but if we sleep in the same bed, we just have such terrible sleep. I don't really know what to do about it. Such a strange situation.

 

I remember when I was a kid my Nan and Grandad had single beds. I always found it a bit weird but I'm worried it's the answer to our problem!!

 

Is an option to get a bigger bed? (If you don't already have a crazy large bed)

 

My wifes parents are the same, the mother sleeps in a different bed, which in my mind is crazy. I get how you can be uncomfortable and so on, but you're married, so surely you should be sleeping in the same bed? Don't get me wrong, it's great to have an odd night on your own in the bed, but its strange to me to not have Mrs.E there also.

Swish, I'll check it out.

 

Depending on the tablet you have....say an iPad....is there some form of cross connection cable you can get like apple > HDMI or am I right thinking that doesn't exist?

 

TNA, to me at least, has become a giant dog shit with a real small 1 carat diamond in there somewhere. As you know there is something good inside, and it might even be worth it (to some people).......but you just wouldn't go smashing through a turd for something so small.

 

i think whats worse than TNA themselves, are the TNA fans STILL clinging on to the facade that everything else in the world is crap and TNA is the best thing around. Dribblers of the highest order.

 

I know its not en-vogue to stand up for TNA, but wouldn't your first point be just as applicable for every episode of Raw these days? How many segments of a three hour show do you actually enjoy?

Now admittedly I don't watch RAW every week (hell, I don't even watch wrestling at all many weeks) but it only takes a cursory glance at the Raw thread to gather that the show is pretty shit at the moment. Mainstream wrestling is on its arse no matter what the company.

 

I'd like to know who these people are who are claiming TNA to be so brilliant though. For the past two years I've hardly seen a positive word said about TNA on the web.

 

 

Yep, thats fair enough, and in fairness......I don't watch RAW either for those same reasons,  I will ,however, catch up on raw once I've read the results, via Youtube. Now when reading RAW results, I mostly don't mind it, (past the various normal issue's we've had for years), but with TNA you read the results and end up saying "What?....Why?" half the time, it just makes you angry. Then again, maybe that's just me.

 

In terms of the fans, I go off the 1 person I know that still kicks up a big fuss for it, along with the various people you see in comments on youtube vids/websites etc, which generally its well know how crap TNA has become, some (and it is an ever increasing minority) are still holding out that its the best thing ever.

 

For mainstream wrestling overall, yeah its fairly bad, and I guess part of us putting up with WWE is because whilst it's bad in areas, its nowhere near as bad as TNA as a whole. Again that's my view on it at least.

Re watching on TV via a tablet. I think I may have solved my issue. I've got one of these HDMI to Micro HDMI cables coming in the post tomorrow.

Hopefully this does the trick because I'm gagging to give New Year Dash my full attention. The first half was great fun.

 

Awesome, let us know if that works, as I'm wanting to sign up to NJPW world, although not watching on TV is a bit of a bummer really.

Spike Hurricanrana:

 

 

 

Have the obligatory feud with Sin Cara when he comes back, leading to Mask vs Mask or something, (Thats forgetting this Sin Cara has been unmasked previously by the old Sin Cara), then fire him or something.

 

I used to feel bad for Sin Cara (the new one) as he seemed to be the better of the 2 Cara's.......although he looks shite recently, like in all areas, his body shape, his effort in the ring, everything.

For some reason I've had it in my head that WWE have been wanting to push him for a little while, with the win over Ryback recently and then the following saves Ryback made for him in the following shows, so Sin Cara going down might have been a blessing for WWE.

He's a solid worker, and has all sorts of crazy things in the bag to use as/when he needs it. He'd be a decent upper-mid card guy to have about for a while.

 

Then again Del Rio will probably muller him on Smackdown.

Thanks for the messages chaps, much appreciated.

 

If she won't take the first step, (and if she hasn't seen a doctor yet, I'd highly recommend her to do so), then just give her the ultimatum. Mention you support her fully, but obviously the parental smothering isn't helping and she needs to start getting out and about, just to start feeling more "normal". if she won't step up following your support and any possible treatment, that is a personal decision , in my eyes at least, so just leave it with her.

 

She's seeing a doctor at the moment, but she's only had three sessions at the moment so not long enough to really see the effects.  As far as I'm aware she hasn't been prescribed anti-depressants which concerns me a little though. 

 

 

 

in relation to the above, unless her doctor is try a different approach or somebody is telling porkies, i was given anti depressants on my first visit. I've only been a total of four times over almost 4 months, which initially was for a check up and a new perscription. Before everything got "bad" for me, I was also having huge anxiety attacks in publix/work/at home in bed at 2am etc, and at that time I was given something on my first visit.

 

the only reason I wouldn't be on medication is if i didn't choose to be. I was flat out told the options are: Change your lifestyle (if that effects you via drink/drugs etc), medication (1 mainly that is universally great, the others they dont really give out any more) and all of this plus counselling, if you feel you need it, but that tends to be a self referral thing in my area. And that was all on my first visit and just being honest with the doctor and actually wanting to have this issue fixed.

 

If you can, have a word and see what she's been given in terms of information, as if she's not on medication by now (which in fairness it isn't for everybody) it'd be rare the doctor hasn't at least suggested it to her, which then again comes to down to personal choice to do something or not.

 

As for anything else, sucks about her mother maybe putting pressure on her to maybe move back in full time, but hopefully once she's feeling a bit better she'll change her mind.

One other thing I did forget to mention which is touched upon above is that sometimes Family members don't help with the situation, like I can understand that if I had a child who suffered from depression or any mental difficulties (I say this as I've been out with someone who has) that parents can be protective but at the same time I feel that sometimes they either over protect and influence decision making or they turn a blind eye to the problem itself and don't support them, I've been with someone who had major problems and would always find ways to get what she wants, be manipulative and in a sense make up excuses to cheat or whatever and all her mum ever did was back her up and almost pretend she didn't know what was happening when it was clear as day that she did. 

 

There is a fine line between being protective, and just being an idiot, in my opinion. As an example, with my aforementioned depression issues, both my parents/step parents/other family made it known I was in there thoughts, and if i needed anything to call them, but every one of them told me to take some time away from all issues/take my medication/get better in my own time. 

 

It is hard, on everybody involved really, but part of it is realising you have a problem and that others are/are not helping you.

@ Slapnut

 

Having just about gotten over a long bout of depression myself, I'd say leave it with her. Its a hard sell as you take your medication but part of it is taking the first step, in terms of going to the places you previously felt uncomfortable. For me, I understand/realised I wasn't in a good place, took a bit of time as recommended by my doctor, and by the time I went back to work......everything had kicked in. I didn't feel overly ok about going back, but I did and now a month or so later, I feel great.

 

If she won't take the first step, (and if she hasn't seen a doctor yet, I'd highly recommend her to do so), then just give her the ultimatum. Mention you support her fully, but obviously the parental smothering isn't helping and she needs to start getting out and about, just to start feeling more "normal". if she won't step up following your support and any possible treatment, that is a personal decision , in my eyes at least, so just leave it with her.

TNA, to me at least, has become a giant dog shit with a real small 1 carat diamond in there somewhere. As you know there is something good inside, and it might even be worth it (to some people).......but you just wouldn't go smashing through a turd for something so small.

 

At one time it was more diamond than dog shit, but the ratio has been changing vastly over the years, and I'm just not interested in it anymore. Each time they've changed TV stations so far, I've thought "ok, new station....new start" then I read the results and just groan at whats going on with the nonsensical face/heel turns, rapid title changes, divisions/belts that mean absolute feck all. Its just garbage of the highest order.

 

i think whats worse than TNA themselves, are the TNA fans STILL clinging on to the facade that everything else in the world is crap and TNA is the best thing around. Dribblers of the highest order.

I had the gorilla press slam Hogan (where he lifts both arms up), Hacksaw Jim Duggan - Who I had no idea of when I was a kid and thought it was Big show for some reason, Ultimate warrior.......and Sting + Ric Flair from the fixed position WCW figures. I also had the Blue Ring that WWE made for the Hasbro's hah.

 

All of the above was bought from my local outdoor market......along with most of my other toys when I was a kid. Wrestlers were £1 each, and I can't recall how much the ring was at the time. 

Any chance for Christmas riddler logo? 

The title match intro with the spotlight on looked like the dogs Bollix, it wouldn't look out of place at a ppv.

 

*Bollocks

 

Did nobody else see that?

Totally get it's a business and people are in it to make money. Just think Lesnar was kind of lucky that Vince was willing to forgive and forget the fact that he walked out on them when WWE had plans for him to be their top man for years to come. If anything, Lesnar's run in UFC made his stock rise even higher and allowed him to get the great contract he has now. He's obviously a smart businessman and is extremely wealthy but his whole "I don't want to be here so I'll put on a crap match" attitude at Wrestlemania 20 stunk.

 

Its for the exact same reason that he "forgave" him or whatever, because its a business.

 

Vince knew that Lesner coming back equals $$$$, so he brought him in. The only thing stopping most former WWE people returning is because of their hatred for vince, not the other way around. Vince can dislike people all he wants, but in terms of the company he'd have bloody CM Punk , and whoever else, back in a heart beat if they made him some money.

I gave up on watching NXT just before they started that tag team tournament thing. 

 

 

The tag tournament was a massive let down hope they don't repeat it. I'm sure I wasn't the only one to give up upon hearing about it.

 

How do you know it was a "borefest" if you didn't watch it? lol. I know we all go off reviews, but most of the reviews I've seen were positive about the whole thing.

 

For what its worth, I enjoyed the entire tournament, which produced many solid matches. Sure there was the odd match worth skipping, but it was a lot better that the general "nothing happening" shows before the main build up to the next Takerover.

You turned off at the wrong time then mate!

The Tag Tournament was fairly good, and kept the show busy during what would be its "filler" episodes, and was given some pretty decent matches. The following Takeover event was also very good.

I'm about two behind at the moment, but I've enjoyed NXT a lot more since the Tag Tournament.

Konnan is a funny bloke. He runs the MLW podcast, who tweeted out "Bucks signed with Lucha Underground", a product that Konnan is affiliated with, only then to see the Young Bucks actually signed on with ROH.

 

I take everything coming from Konnan with a pinch of salt.

I'd suggest Wroclaw, Poland. (Pronounced: vrahts-wahf).

Depends on what you want to do, but the main "city" part is lovely. Huge cathedral, tons of pubs/bier halls with breweries on site, many museums, including one of a giant painting that covers a huge circular enclosure.

Fairly friendly place, most locals/younger people speak English as well. I went for a stag doo, although it wasn't a "WOOHOO" type deal, just 4 lads having a chill and a drink, an it was amazing. I believe I'm going back next year hah.

What was the story on that? Didn't he assault a crew member?

Allegedly, some crew member made a racial remark about him, so Del Rio went over and bitch slapped him.

 

From what came out at the time, everybody was on on Del Rio's side, but for PR purposes they cant have people assaulting members of staff etc.
