Really enjoyed LeBlanc on Top Gear last night- he is funny, charismatic and feels very natural. As others have said, very soothing voice. Total contrast to Evans' shouting 'please like me' style.

 

At this point I only see one solution to try and have this show anywhere as entertaining as it was with the previous three- sack off Evans and hire Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer. That will do.

With Schwimmer hairing round a grass track, screaming "DIVOT!!! DIVOT!!!"

Matthew Perry presenting star in a reasonably priced car 'could you BE any slower?'

Don't usually watch Top Gear but gave it a go last night. Enjoyed it, Matt Le Blanc was great, Evans not so much.

Raptors winning would be a great story. Lowry, DeRozan and the big man Biyombo have really stepped up the last two games. Thought Lebron was quiet last night, but it was close. Raptors showed huge resilience in the last quarter to make you think they might actually do this. Game 5 is massive.

Still think the winner is coming from the West. OKC made mince meat of Warriors and wouldn't be surprised to see them do it again tonight.

Before finals I was expecting a Cavs sweep and Warriors 4-2 win, like Art says, a crazy few days.

And Green should have been suspended, definitely deliberate, its the second time in successive games, to the same bloke. Things may get heated tonight, can't wait!

Loving the playoffs right now. Who is everyone picking from the final four?

Would love to see OKC win it but part of me wants Warriors Cavs II.

Raptors the obvious underdogs but they were awesome vs Heat plus the CBS blunder today will give them extra incentive

They should've tagged him up with Roman. I could've got behind a team called Rymans.

I can see a market for I'm A Theo Paphitas Guy shirts

It's either going to break my heart to miss or cripple me to do with Progress, Summer Sizzler and more Progress wrapping around the small matter of a Euro 2016 holiday. Ticket, train, Travelodge.... but it's Kurt in York Hall, and wrestling Zack. Gahhhhhhh!!!

Is there a Manchester Progress show in June?

Summer Sizzler in July was set to be my first Rev Pro show, looks like it'll be my second. Wow, just wow!

"If more people took care of themselves like Iron Mike Sharpe, then about 20 million more Americans per year would live past the age of 65"

Gorilla Monsoon. Sharpe died aged 64. RIP

Pepper Parks and Cherry Bomb will be at the Cardiff Film and Comic Con on 5th and 6th of March.

Pepper Parks who was always on the Indy section in PWI in the early 2000s?

What's he up to now to be gracing comic cons?

Second Matt was surprisingly brilliant, but I still preferred the first. He was cool as fuck.

Its great that they don't even try to replace like for like. Original Matt was ace though, made being an agoraphobic look cool and was a phobia I wouldn't mind having.

I still shout 'TEA!' and 'in the hand' at wife and kids though they probably think I'm a miserable sod rather than paying tribute to one of the coolest TV characters ever!

Ive ordered from Rob on three occasions, his work is stunning. What prints he has for sale are random so it is worth checking his store regularly. Its also worth trying the mystery pack (4 prints for $40), he sent me 5 and all of them great, got a Warrior, Daniel Bryan, Sting, Goldust and Elizabeth print.

(Just know that you will get stung by customs on each order as he uses Fedex and is honest on the customs form. Sure all mine were about £17 and they bill after you get the items, but still worth it)

They are marvellous!

Think Krytie needs a Santa look, Thank you good Sir!

My Wrestlecrate arrived Saturday morning and I'm very happy with the goodies I received.

Daniel Bryan Pop Funko. As a collector I did worry when I saw the box initially but was chuffed when I realised it was a variant.

PCW Who Dares Wins DVD. Card looks pretty cool, a lot of names I'm familiar with and I haven't watched any PCW in a while.

Vertigo Pro Wrestling Chapter 2 Fight DVD. Admittedly haven't heard of the promotion but again a decent looking card.

Mr Anderson and Matt Hardy signed prints. My lad collects signed 8x10s so these are nice little stocking fillers for him

Stone Cold Something Print. Big fan of these prints we get occasionally from Calling Spots.

PCW Badge.

Sasha Banks shirt. This I was very pleased with, very rarely wear wrestling shirts and feared this to be a Calling Spots shirt (which I do own), as Im in love with Sasha this is great, not an obvious wrestling shirt either. Be interesting to know where shirt came from because I don't think it's an official WWE one.

Overall a fantastic little bundle of wrestling goodies, well worth the money and definitely getting the December box. (Not a fan of money being taken from account on 23rd so have to cancel sub and renew week after)

Photo of shirt found online (incidentally with the same Pop Funko)

This beaut should be available in Smyths from early December (Along with Sid, Godfather and Sting)

Me and my lad went to our first Futureshock show in Warrington and had a blast. Will definitely make the Warrington shows a regular and looking into the Stockport shows. 

Went to the last one on a whim. Was supposed to be going to watch Chester (1st game of the season), lad asked to see some wrestling and the cost was less than the price of one match ticket. There were some guys who he's familiar with (Hope, Hayes, Gallagher, Lana Austin) and he saw some new guys he was very impressed with (Ashton Smith most notably, and Rayne, Cooper). He even bought a DVD of the last Stockport show and watched it in one sitting.

I've just read the spoilers for the next few weeks TV and a couple of questions...

 

 

When did Jesse Sorensen join up, or is it one time deal just getting squished?

 

Is the 'Martin Stone' on the spoilers 'our' Martin who got release a while back? I cant remember his NXT name.

 

 

Look who is wrestling at Takeover:

 

Jushin Liger vs Tyler Breeze!

 

 

Completely out of the blue that one!

Holy fuck!! That is legit my dream match right now

 

deleted for spoilers. apologies

They could at least try and keep separate identities whilst they are fueding

The NXT Divas coming up was very well done. Thought they would have gone with them together but it looks like there are going to be three factions. They looked like stars especially Sasha Banks   . Felt as close to a Nexus moment as we are ever going to get.

The US title stuff is excellent. The 3 way was brilliant, particularly when Owens walked, Cesaro and Rusev was great. Actually got pissed off when Owens interfered, in that moment forgot all about him and thought Rusev had Cena beat. Never thought there'd be a day when Im enjoying the US Title scene more than any other belt/division.

Everything else was just there. 

This Week in WWE and Superstars is how I keep up with WWE TV.

Haven't bothered getting Sky since I moved into my own home last October, the Network is all I need. When my folks binned Sky off a few years back I was always adamant the first thing Id get when I got my own place was Sky.

Smyths used to be the place to go but Toys R Us have been getting some stuff in earlier. Price wise they are the best, especially when TRU have 3for2 on WWE stuff.

I only used Ringside for their exclusives. End up paying £30 for the recent HBK one, you'll never get it cheaper than that on Ebay.

DO try amazon.com prices are very reasonable as is shipping (they factor in any customs fees)

edit. This pic has just popped up on Ringsides Facebook. ZOMBIE WWE FIGURES!!!!!

Definitely buying the Rookie Cena, Seth Rollins MITB and Scott Hall ringside exclusive one when they come out. More pics coming out including the two beauties below, that Finn Balor one is awesome, if I only buy one more figure itll be that one.

It seems to be a pyramid scheme more and more just based off the amount of people who after trying it for like a month max will post everything they can on Facebook and Twitter and friends to join up to it as well. Strangest one was one of the Bristol City boys last season using his Facebook as a direct plug for the brand.

 

I had a job interview a few years ago actually online that I didn't bother with in the end as it was shifty as hell where they wanted me to become a brand ambassador for my University and promote it to the sports teams and stuff I was on with commission for anyone signed up through me. That was the big red warning button right there.

Herbalife seems to be all the range among lower league footballers

Vladimir has been spotted on ROH shows, at most New York shows. Still goes to every Wrestlemania. I read somewhere that he used to score free tickets off Vince and wrestlers back in the day, but that doesnt happen now.

Also remember reading that the shell suit couple did a lot of charity work and would get tickets through that.

Hate the new breed of superfan though. A few paid for themselves to be included in the Wrestling Mish Mash poster that was done last year.
