Not much to add except watching Danielson vs Omega over breakfast this morning was the best Saturday morning I've had in ages. That match was fantastic, although I winced at the snap dragon suplex on the ramp and one of the suplexes on Kenny. Bit head-droppy for me.

Watching Rampage this morning there were a few more spots on the ramp and it seemed like it was really slippery. I don’t know if it’s a case of maybe Kenny’s feet slipped out from under him as he arched back for the move, but I don’t think they were going for something as head-droopy as it ended up looking

Imaginatively, the character was called 'Eddie' https://gameofthrones.fandom.com/wiki/Eddie

Awful character, injected soley to bring more of the songs from the books to life ( not because of Ed Sheeran) lip service to book fans only. 

I thought the book wankers stopped watching at the end of Series 5

Also, calling Danearys a "cowbag", kinda weird and not sure what that means.

I don’t know what “cowbag” means either, but Danearys is an utter cunt plain and simple. How anyone ever rooted for her is unbelievable 

The Ed Sheehan thing was easy to hate on because it was just him being Ed Sheehan. There were a few C-List (probably even lower in all fairness) celebrity cameos over the course of the show from Ed Tudor Pole, some guy from Coldplay, Mastodon, The Actor Kevin Eldon, you had Richard E Grant hamming it up good & proper...but none of those had the “hey look, it’s so & so“ treatment that Ed Sheehan got, which ultimately wasn’t  his fault. It was clumsy as hell and utterly pointless, but it’s a one and done scene, he was barely even a character 

Decent episode (split into two parts on FITE for some reason) but nothing was going to top Omega/Danielson from this week and the first half of the show definitely felt like the better one

Hobbs got a really good outing with Punk, although he nearly got spiked on his head which was a bit scary.

Omar White from Oz immediately springs to mind. Just an unwelcome annoyance in an otherwise excellent series. Just completely irritating throughout his entire run and I'm surprised the other inmates didn't all join forces to off him, such was the level of his irritation.

 

I’m fucking dreading reviewing his episodes next year.

William Giles isn’t far behind him in the annoying stakes and Beecher goes a bit pathetic around the middle of the show too

Not that it’s likely to effect us over here, but Rampage is to stay on TNT in 2022 instead of moving to TBS. Dynamite is still set to move to TBS as planned

We pretending Cody hasn't put over everyone? Bit weird.

That’s not what I’m saying at all, I was just certain that he was going to win this one to set up the (possibly gimmicked) rubber match.

Just got finished with the rest of the show.

I don’t think it was a case that the crowd were worn out by the time main event got going, I thought the match was a bit lacklustre so they gave a lacklustre response. Ruby going Super-Soho towards the end didn’t seem to help matters either.

Actually punched the air when Cody got pinned. I know he’ll get a win eventually, but this was absolutely the right result. Arn needs to stay on the floor though, as he tried to get round the ring post I was thinking “steady on Arn, you’re going to fall if you’re not careful”. Low & behold that’s exactly what happened to the poor bugger.

I still don’t get what people see in MJF as being some kind of megastar. He’s a confident promo no doubt about it, but it’s basic heel stuff that’s he’s saying and his matches are alright depending who he’s in there with. He’s basically The Miz.

Punk doesn’t need a monologue every week. Granted they’re paying him a shitload of money and want their worth out of him, but that didn’t do anything to hype his match anymore than what’s already been done.

There will be some upset that FTR lost to Darby & Sting, but they’ll be fine once they get a proper feud to get their teeth into. There’s a lot of smoke & mirrors to cover for him, but just enjoy seeing Sting while he can still go as good as he can.

A good show overall, but that opening match was stellar stuff and will win practically everything in the end of year awards

Just watching the show now and Omega/Danielson has just finished. Wow, those 30 minutes absolutely flew by. Can’t wait for them to do that again

On first viewing - Trey Baxter is a bit like when you order Buddy Murphy off Wish.

Who was the Kenny Omega you ordered off Wish, so what does that make Trey?

I decided to give that Heels show a try and one of the recent episodes could’ve been written last week by the looks of things

Could well explain why the next episode has been delayed a week

I didn’t know that, I’ll track it down.  Cheers.

It’s on Arrow Player if you want to take advantage of their 30 day trial

Think the episodes on All 4 are old. Don’t think they have any of series 3 yet.

Channel 4 are launching its ‘True Crime on 4’ arm of their streaming service at the end of the year. The newer episodes (and presumably the previous two series) will go on there when it launches. https://amp.theguardian.com/media/2021/jul/13/channel-4-to-launch-platform-tapping-into-boom-in-true-series?__twitter_impression=true

In other news, Meltzer has had an absolute shocker here

“Everything this guy says is a filthy lie...apart from this one thing that exonerates me, that’s the god honest truth”

Fucking gobshite

Ricky Starks is apparently replacing Mark Henry at the announce desk on a permanent basis. I’m sure Mark was doing his best, but it was clear after the show launched that he wouldn’t last long.

Wrestling fans are like that when it comes to gatekeeping how their favourites should be mourned. Remember when Eddie died and dem were all “How terrible Orton saying he’s in hell” despite his family being fine with it and his wife being given a tidy earner to carry on supporting the family.

I know Kanyon is next, which gives us another chance to hate on Flair as I suspect they’ll show the Howard Stern clip, but what’s next for the remainder of 3?

FMW, Ion Croitoru, Luna Vachon, XPW and The Steroid Trial are the remaining episodes after the Kanyon one

Yeah, not a good look to be going “Flair eh? What’s he like!?” while everyone other than Tommy Dreamer is calling him a sexual predator

I wonder where there'll get any Owen Hart footage from?  Is the old Stampede library up for grabs?

I don’t know about the full library, but Bret has say over his matches, so if there were ever any Owen v Bret matches or tag team matches that featured them both, it would be Bret that signs off on it

After the '02 Leeds incident they took all the portaloos away from the campsite. In 2003 on they had like a massive fenced off area with open top cubicles in rows inside. You literally took a took a shit into a massive tank that was shared by the rest of the row of toilets, it was horrific. There were guards in towers overseeing the whole block too, it felt like something out of the Great Escape.

Yeah I remember that. First time I went for a piss I saw the top of a Nokia disappear into the poo slurry like Arnie’s thumb in T2.

Went to Leeds four times (2001-2003 and 2008). On reflection and having been to other festivals you can see that it does attract a fair few dickheads (as all festivals do), but I could tell it wasn’t for me anymore, and I was only 23 at the time. It could just be the relevant years that I’ve been to them, but I’ve never seen anything like that when I’ve been to Download or Bloodstock. The closest I’ve ever seen to any sort of aggro at Bloodstock is when gobshites do that “bin-jousting” thing with the wheely dumpsters.

Unfortunately and like with everything in wrestling, it’ll all blow over in a few of weeks and no-one will face any consequences.

I hope that I’m wrong as it means Tommy Dreamer will finally fuck off, but Flair will be back somewhere soon enough

Was there ever much love for Ripper Street on here? I've ditched Netflix for a bit now that I got a whole 6 months of Prime for free and this is one of the shows I've given a chance, it's daft and some of the dialogue is cheesy as fuck but I've been enjoying it and it's regular cast quite a bit.

It seemed to be the Beeb’s big new series at one point only to then get pushed to a side once Peaky Blinders came along a year later, like when Mr Burns lost interest in Frank Grimes after hearing about the heroic dog

Are there still big issues with American artists coming over here? I got an email saying Poppy is rescheduling her tour and that wasn't meant to be until early next year.

Earlier today I saw that Royal Republic have had to pull out of the tour with Skindred due to the costs involved, and they did mention Brexit in their statement

Tolls on ALL roads? And I bet they still vote for them at the next election
