Rewatched the Cena vs Taker match from Mania 34 and Cena was/is fucking great. 

Why would he ever have need to say that?

What even is Undi?

This just got retweeted onto my Twitter timeline.  A very young Randy Savage in Nova Scotia, Canada from back in the day.

Looks like Seth Rollins there. 

Jean Ambrose - wears Jean's as his ring gear and acts like a formless twat yet expects to be treated like a main avenger. All the while inexplicably marrying the delightful 3rd string announcer.

there's been several points through this series that i've thought "fucking hell, he's done alright there".

 

Michelle McCool has come across incredibly well in this series and I can see what you mean. Seems to genuinely care about him.

Fuck me a Daniel Bryan vs Eddie Guerrero match would have been something. Heel Eddie was always amazing

They could actually have some verval interactions as well. Would be majestic.

Thanks! right now, due to increased water, fiber and pro biotics, im more like big Poopa Ralphy 

I've done the math and there is a 141 1/3 % chance that Big Papa Ralphy becomes a reality.

Eddie Guerrero wins the WWE title just 2 years after this. Mad.

I wonder if any Indy can match a main event where all 3 guys would later go on and win the WWE title. 

I'm sure there is something along the lines of Tyler Black vs Bryan Danielson vs Kevin Steen somewhere but none of them are Eddie Guerrero so automatically it wouldn't match up.

Jericho always chips in to help people out, fair play to him. Khan giving that much is the equivalent of him giving away a penny he found behind the sofa, but I don’t think they had any ties at all. Wonder if Vince will make a bigger donation when he hears about that.

He might offer Gaspards wife a job and humiliate her on TV for the next few years.

Some of the jokes aspects  of Preacher has aged poorly. Personally it doesn't bother me but I have been mindful when recommending  to friends who are wanting to try comics.  

Is a great comic , debatably my favourite ever.

Any decent WCW PPV’s or shows from 91-92 that might have flown under the radar.

 

 

Clash 18 from the start from Jan 92 has 5 really enjoyable matches. On paper it doesn't seem that appetizing but is a fun show.

Vader & Mr Hughes vs The Steiners

Pillman & Bagwell vs Smothers & Taylor

6 man tag

Sting & Steamboat vs Austin & Rude 

And of course

Cactus Jack vs Van Hammer in a nodq which is undeniably Van Hammers greatest ever match. 

The show doesn't get much love and there are a couple of duds and I think it being a couple days after the 92 Rumble means it is overlooked. Easily a top 5 clash.

Big thanks to @Chris B, @Merzbow and @ElCece - I’m particularly keen on the Gaiman recommendation. The last book I read before lockdown was American Gods, which I thought was fantastic.

Preacher would have been a great recommendation but I’ve watched the TV show and I’m unlikely to read it for the same reason I’m unlikely to jump into The Walking Dead, I know (more or less) how it plays out removing some of the fun. 

Really appreciate the thought you put into your replies, guys!

The first arc in particular of Sandman is very "Moorey" certain you will like it. As mentioned 75 issues for the full hog but the first trade at least is a great start.

I wouldn't be doing it over 3 or the sides....

I've been saying for ages the snooker should be able to come back. The referee already wears gloves for a start. 

And it will if anything make people want to stay in there house caressing there balls.

The characters are fantastically written, and Moore does a tremendous job of sucking you into the bleak worlds he’s created. 

The other thing that appeals t me is that fact the books were one-and-done. I did take a look at Swamp Thing, but it’s hard to know what to read and it also seems expensive to read it from beginning to end.

That has put me off the superhero genre more than anything else, they seem to span multiple, expensive books. I like a beginning, a middle and an end. Although I certainly wouldn’t rule out reading that genre.

Sound like strong character work that is self contained and preferably not huge? 

I am far from the best at giving recommendations but what popped into my head if you are willing to try slightly newer "different" stuff 

I Kill Giants, Roughneck, Private Eye, Lazarus and if you are willing to consider something longer Scalped.

I’m pretty new to graphic novels, but I’m finding them a great help to cope with lockdown. For whatever reason I’m finding it much harder to concentrate on books.

I’ve read Watchmen and V for Vendetta, both of which I loved, and I’m part way through From Hell which I’m also enjoying. 

Clearly I’ve gone for some obvious choices early on, but given my love of Alan Moore, what/who would you recommend I try next? 

It looks like you are avoiding the straight up super hero genre. Sticking with Alan Moore (who admittedly I'm not his biggest fan) his Swamp thing run is good.

Is there something specifically that grabs you about what you've read so far?

The closest thing to heat I've ever heard toward Jimmy is that he can be annoying because he's like that 24/7.

Just like Mojo Rawley he doesn't get hyped he stays hyped. 

I can express how angry the shitness of those chips make me.

I'm not so sure, it'll just move to a digital platform. I've already seen both of these happen in the short time we've been in a home working model by people who did it in the office too. 

Yeah I was about to post the same thing. It's the same people just different systems. Lots of personal Zoom calls and select email chains.

There was something about Sheamus and Yoshi Tatsu too. I can't remember the details but I think involved Sheamus not cleaning up when they shared an apartment in developmental. 

Generally being a dick from what I remember which ended in Tatsu walloping him.

With how communicable it is, and the death rate, we'd have been at exactly this stage far earlier. Just look at the rise in deaths.

Not suggesting something wasn't doing the rounds, but it's unlikely to have been this.

I'm not saying earlier. More I think it has being spread more than we generally believe.

We had the cough, breathing issues and loss of smell/taste around Feb. We’d never known anything like it, but didn’t think it was Corona because was still hearing it wasn’t here and that it was like the Flu. Now, we’ve not had an antibody year, but it’s too weird to have had 3 of the symptoms all together like that is too weird. So how many thousands of others spread it not realising they had it.

The public enquiry will be interesting. Too late for all those deaths though. 

Something I've said. I've colleagues(well 2) who have tested positive and both said they wouldn't never have guessed it purely on symptoms. Purely anecdotal I think it has done the rounds more than we know.
