Farrington

Has anyone seen VHS 4 on Shudder? I loved the first one, not too enamored with what followed. Wondered if the 4th was worth giving a go?

Orient Kamasu, without a doubt.

Start with this review, but there are loads more on Youtube. Sapphire crystal, in house movement, £200

The black one is currently reduced on Amazon to £178. The red one is £190.

BUT....if you can stretch, and want a Swiss watch, I'd definitely fork our a bit more and go for the Tissot Seastar. It's my favourite watch in my collection and is currently 30% off at Jomashop (grey market) - it's imported, but yours for £365 plus import duty. That watch retails in the UK for £645.

Cheers again 👍

Definitely considering the Kamasu, not sure green or red though

Assuming you've heard of field watches, I'm catching the watch bug so also in the market for one as well as a dress watch!

No problem @Farrington. I have currently got 4 in rotation - 2 divers, 1 GMT and 1 dress watch

1. Christopher Ward Sealander c63 GMT, in white

2. Orient Star Retrograde DE00001W

3. Orient Kamasu, in green

4. Tissot Seastar 1000 Powermatic 80, in black

1 cost £800, 2 and 3 about £200 each, 4 was about £500.

1 came direct from Christopher Ward, 2 and 3 came from Creationwatches, 4 came from Jomashop

Cheers @MPDTT

I'm after a divers watch, 200-300 notes. What would you recommend?

@MPDTT started watching some the watch club stuff... apologies if you have posted but which watches do you have in your rotation (Im picking up the lingo!)

Just got a Casio Ediface off the back of the review on there 👍

JR absolutely awful again - and Ive watched 20 mins. Luchasaurus mask comes loose, "I know that guy"... dreadful.

Eddie Kingston was pretty cool in Impact as the leader of the "heel" LAX incarnation, he's a great talker.

But its getting almost as easy to get lost in the shuffle in AEW as it is the WWE. It strikes me that AEW like the idea of having these guys on the roster and go in with good intentions, and don't do it to stockpile talent. But when you have such an established upper and mid card, how ton earth do you fit everyone in?

With 2 hours of TV and 3 hours of actual product every week, when you take out the inevitable TV time set aside for Cody, The Inner Circle etc, it really doesn't leave that much to share around.

 

Its why the business needs NWA to survive in its current incarnation. That said I think Kingston was under utilised across their shows. He would be a perfect foil for a face champion there.

Eddie Kingston must be one of the most underrated blokes of this period. Talks, genuine and believable and always puts on a decent show. Hes a really good hand.

Jim Ross - absolutely horrendous commentary Cody-Kiss. Spent the match trying to make up for calling Kiss a woman early doors then just got worse. Really missed Tony S holding it together.

Suzuki/Nagata anyone? 

They were beating the snot out of each other at the end there. Great stuff. 

Ishii/Desperado was a good scrap. Would like Ishii to take the whole thing.

Thanks @JNLister 👍

Yep, everything empty for the bulk of the tournament then Wrestling Dontaku in July is two nights in Osaka is the first with audience (one-third capacity), with the Cup final on night one and then the winner's title match v Naito on night two.

Looks like the tournament shows will be four cup matches and then one other match (likely a multi-man) so in an ideal world they'll be short shows but without needing to rush for time on the better matches. 

Edit: FWIW, The NJPW Google Calendar has all the empty arena shows as two-hour slots.

Can you point me in the right direction of aforementioned calendar? 

No love for SUPERPOWER? 

Storm/Dane hossfight was great, Arron Stevens still gold and a really good main

@WyattSheepMask & @tiger_rick cheers gents

Where am I best starting to re-run NWO period in WCW? BATB '96?

Christ after my day yesterday I wouldn't bother!

1.30 - Battleoverdoyen has been my long term fancy. But his trainers horses all ran shite yesterday so I'm unsure. I don't like Champ. Beakstown could outrun the odds.

2.10 - Delta Work likewise. Although it's now 3/1 which should be a gift if it turns up in any kind of form

2.50 - pick something at a big price and back it each way with Coral. They're paying 7 places each way. I've done Burbank and Ballyandy.

3.30 - Altior only loses via act of god. 

4.10 - I don't like the favourite but can't find anything to beat it. Pick something at a big price that's run well in the race before. Maybe Joesies Orders.

4.50 - Lethal Steps was a big fancy of mine, but again it's the same stable as the other fancies.

5 30- Envoi Allan Is also the same!

--

Basically if Gordon Elliot's horses run well today then I'm in clover. Momentum can be a big thing at Cheltenham though, so if the first goes in then get stuck into the others.

1.30 - Beakstown 

2.10 - Delta Work

2.50 - Ballyandy/Burbank 

3.30 and 4.10 - No Bet

4.50 - Lethal Steps and Torpillo

5.30 - Envoi Allen

Cheers - only Tiger Roll saved an awful day today!

Go again tomorrow!

@Max Power anything for today???

Does anyone know what Shibata said? Was it just 'I'm back' or something like that?

I'm alive 

Seems that the rulez don't allow for this channel. As you were

Is there a list anywhere of the matches worth catching this year? I did the whole tournament for the first and probably last time ever last year and it completely burned me out on wrestling despite the matches being good.  I'm hoping to catch just the best ones this year. 

Try Cagematch. Usually have a number out of ten against the better matches on each card. I'm with you, can't watch it all so found that's best way to narrow it down.

You went to Shelley? They are getting quite a good alumnus for a random school in Huddersfield, Cersei Lannister and Doctor Who!

I did indeed 😊 Jodie was the year above 

Went to school with Jodie and know the family - she's a lovely person and a great actress. Chuffed 😊

JR and Josh were bloody awful. JR didn't know who anyone was half the time. They was both all over the place. JR went from talking about how he lives alone now to plugging his podcast within seconds. 

Okada has been to WWE shows before. Invited to them I think. I doubt there's anything more to it

Been quoted as not being arsed with WWE hasnt he in the recent past? Hope so, absolutely brilliant at the mo, best guy out there

Yeah.. Really, really looking forward to Ishii vs Matt Riddle tonight at Rev Pro in Walthamstow. 

How was it??

No value top of market snooker worlds but if anyone is interested Shaun Murphy & Ali Carter at pretty decent odds worth an E/W bet
