They just moved him over to Raw 2 days ago.

Years back they moved Cena twice in the same show, they can move Shorty G

With Gable Stevenson coming up to the main roster, where does this leave Chad Gable?

Going on the attempted name change of Adam Cole (can’t have more than one “Cole” on the roster) would expect them to have to change Chad. A return of Shorty G?

It’s a Christian name v Surname though, do they really have to do anything? Stick Chad Gable on Smackdown and nobody will be bothered either way

Suddenly Doctor Seuss is booking WWE.

That would be quite the Fable

Dave got whooshed about Bret Hart buying & reselling a mansion in Springfield to Monty Burns, it’s perfectly plausible that he got whooshed here too. Everything in his world revolves around wrestling. He’ll talk a little MMA and Boxing sure, but wrestling is his be-all end-all and it’s possible he just heard the word shooter and his ‘wrestl-ey sense’ kicked in and all other context got lost.

And you thought the Five Lads in Jeans were a bunch of cunts

The fucks happened to Hogan’s legs? He’s been Cotton Hill-ed

”blown off by a Japanman’s machine gun, brother”

That famously un-political band The Specials

That picture of the PM “out for a run” that’s been doing the rounds today. Nevermind that he’s wearing a shirt, how has no-one called the bullshit of him being able to run in brogues

No it was always meant as a big release for Fox so streaming, even to Disney+ wasn’t an option. I don’t disagree with your review, though I think Jodie Comer was her usual excellent laugh and I’m a sucker for Wattiki as well. But do you think it’s biggest fail was Ryan Reynolds doing his hilarious acting routine? He was my least favourite part of the film by far.

I’ve never seen anything of Jodie Comer before. I know she’s highly regarded from her time on Killing Eve, but I found her character here massively unlikable. 
Taika Waititi  seemed to go a bit late-career Jim Carrey* in this. I don’t know how much of what ended up in the film was what was written and how much was him improvising, but a lot of his stuff fell flat for me.

Reynolds was definitely phoning it in, probably just doing it for the payday until they sort out whatever they’re doing with Deadpool 3. The more I think about it the more I realise how much I actually hated it.

* I’m aware that he isn’t a popular choice on here and a lot of people cant stand him, but he’s the only example I can think of

Free Guy

If I’d paid to see this in cinemas I’d have been immensely disappointed (wasn’t it meant to have been a Netflix release last year?) but as I watched it on Disney+ I was only very disappointed.

The first 15 minutes feel like a strange hybrid of The Lego Movie and They Live and it swung & missed on both accounts. Your also given very little reason to care about any of the lead characters.

A couple of funny background jokes early on and some minor chuckles towards the end, but you’d be better watching or doing pretty much anything else with your time

Funny how everyone got excited about how he’d want to work with all the young guys, when he’s just went to top of the card and is only wrestling the top boys. Insincere twat continues to play his fan base like fiddles 

Yeah, because the best thing to do with him would be to stick him against the Travis Titans and Cole Karters of the world.

Fucking hell, Andrew Lawrence is still around? I think I first heard him in the comedy tent at Leeds Festival in 2008 when we were waiting for someone to start on one of the stages (I forget who though). My mate was convinced he was going to be massive based on the 10 minutes he saw him for. Not so much a has been as a never was.

Surprised this isn’t a thing - at least from what I can see

It is a thing, but it’s been a while seen as the new one has been locked in a draw for the last two years

They still release the PPVs on DVD and I think Wrestlemania still gets a BluRay release, but that’s the first “superstar set” that they’ve released in a long time. Since the network launched they’ve become pretty redundant 

I think a lot of people were expecting the last headliner to be announced so it seems to have not got much of a response, but there’s a solid undercard forming. 

There’s seem to talk that Fear Factory are to be added as they’re set to tour with Static X in the US. Could just be people adding 2 and 2 and getting 5, but it would be a good place for the Fear Factory Version 4.0 to play with whoever the singer ends up being

I can't see EU workers rushing to come and bail us out either, not with such a shitty, grudged offer.

Was it the last UK tour they did the one where Maynard performed behind a curtain and could only be seen by silhouette?

I do remember reading about that happening but I not sure about the timeframe. The last proper tour here was 2006 I believe

@The Curious Orange cheers for the heads up, but yeah I’ll be leaving it. I’m not paying £53 plus fees to sit in the nosebleeds. I’ll stick to Festival Day Tickets were you at least get a full days undercard with it.

For anyone that is considering it though, Blonde Redhead and The Acid Helps have been announced as the support acts. They’ve also confirmed a date in Dublin for May 5th

I could see it doing well as the lure of it being a PPV would convince more to go rather that it just being the regular tour that we get twice a year. They’d probably announce it as a sellout anyway

i imagine Tool tickets are gonna be up around the £100 mark

That’s what I’m thinking and why I’m prepared to be letdown. Even KISS don’t charge triple figures and they’re all about fleecing the fans at every opportunity 

A wizard did it

Saw them headline at Download in 2019, which I think was the last gig I attended. Absolutely phenomenal and I said at the time that I’d be there in a heartbeat for a tour.
On reflection I’ll decide once I know how much tickets are. I didn’t buy Fear Inoculum (pretty much exclusively a streamer now, only buy my absolute favourite bands) because the CD was ludicrously expensive. They’re one of my favourite bands but I won’t be taken advantage of

Wonder why they didn’t get Alistair McGowan to do it.  From what I heard he hit it out of the park with the Saville play he did.

Are people going to tune in to watch Alistair McGowan acting though? That’s not a knock on him or the work he did with the play you mentioned, but Coogan is more of a draw to casuals 

Those new Popcorn KitKat Chunckys are awful

I had gravy like that from the Chinese once. I say once because I’ve never had it since because it sure as hell wasn’t  gravy and neither is that.
