For it to be better so I can care about watching Raw and Smackdown again. It’s zapped me of all enjoyment this past year and a bit. 

Read a review of the show to see if there’s anything worth watching later. Apparently the pre show match and the first two main show matches were really good and then the show fell off a cliff. The Reigns-Corbin and Rusev-Lashley match sounded pretty awful. Did anyone here watch? Or did we all just forget/not give a fuck?

Anyone doing either a midnight screening of Rise or a 7-9 triple bill?

Me and a mate are doing the triple bill. We worked out we don’t have time to actually have a rewatch of 7 and 8 or even see Rise of Skywalker before 2020 so thankfully work schedules are allowing late starts for us on Thursday. And someone would spoil it so the midnight showing was a must anyway. At least there’s parts of The Last Jedi that will make for an extended stretch of the legs and avoid numb bum. 

Tommy Wiseau from shit movie/cult classic The Room at the Prince Charles Cinema is as famous I’ve got. He initiated an awkward conversation. 
 

I’m not counting British wrestler Gideon Grey in the bogs of York Hall as he was probably the least famous of the wrestlers on that card and I think is only mostly known down south. 

Primo hasn’t wrestled since August for his dads promotion or for wwe since February. Another 30 days off won’t bother him. 

I’m sure The Ascension could fit in well at the world tag league next year. 

I think Epico is injured. And Primo has been wrestling in WWC so he hasn’t been sitting on his arse. But I don’t know how they’re both still on the books.

Connor and Viktor of The Ascension have been released 

I was actually thinking about them today and looked up the last time they wrestled on tv. An episode of main event back in April. 
 

Primo and Epico have to be next. And Mojo. 

You’d have to hope they have some self awareness by then and the red lighting will be gone. 

No. It was just Havoc being a drunken dick

@jazzygeofferz I think you’re thinking of Ian’s tweet of Havoc with Steve McFadden and Cornette believing Ian that Havoc posted it and that Excalibur was Phil Mitchell.

And after his first promo there, someone said he just sounded like Naboo from the Mighty Boosh, and I can't shake that.

Yeah that was me ha. It’s hard to take him seriously when he sounds that way trying to sound hard. And the fact he looks like he couldn’t beat up anybody. 

Jimmy Havoc is the worst 

Didn’t even realise this was round the corner. Maybe they’ll remember next week. Was there any hints on the show about any Raw matches on the ppv other than the obvious route of Owens vs Rollins?

Yes. Well, Hounslow/Isleworth borders. He’s been over here since 2001, not sure if he’s always been round Hounslow way though. We’ve been in the same pubs at the same time watching bands a lot apparently, and we have a lot of mutual friends it seems, but I never noticed him until this past Friday and Saturday. 

Olaf the Russian metalhead from Clerks was drinking in my local last night with a mutual friend. Had no idea he lived near me this whole time. He was drunk, stoned and had a hat on saying ‘I love Oklahoma’. The years haven’t been kind, but that could be the stress of living in Hounslow. He wouldn’t sing a line from Berserker though. I’m sure he’s heard that enough and didn’t need to be asked again by pissed up me. 

Yeah the Kai heel turn was great. Like Ciampa it was predictable but that didn’t take away how well it was executed. Both War Games matches were fun. Glad it was Kevin Owens as the fourth man and not the heavily rumoured Triple H. And people were also speculating on John Morrison returning which would’ve deflated it a bit. Best ROH main event in a long time. 

Didn't even notice Nigel on commentary last night as Beth and Mauro were just so awful. Mauro is headache inducing. 

Meltzer saying Omega and Moxley wasn’t very good and he didn’t like but still gave it 4 and half stars sums him up. I’ve forgotten most of what happened in that match besides the mousetraps and the barbed wire bed they landed on off the stage.

The wrestling episode of That 70's Show was class, you could just tell that The Rock was going to be a mega star from it.

It’s a great episode. You also get Ken Shamrock in a wig and Matt Hardy beats Jeff Hardy with a back body drop.

Do McDonalds deliver in the UK? They deliver in Vietnam and it's shit, everything was stone cold the one time I tried. Was like having a McDonalds meal back in the 90s

I get it delivered every now and again from Uber eats and it always arrives hot. They’re on the ball round here. It’s the perfect thing to order on a hungover Sunday when you can’t be fucked to leave the house.

To a lesser extent they did it with Charlotte Church. I swear The Sun had a countdown or something till she was 'legal' She then won rear of the year on her 16th birthday.

What the fuck was wrong with everyone?!!

They did it to Emma Watson too.

Is that the one I'm thinking of, where everyone's ordered from a different place and she dives into the bag at the end? If so, as annoying as she is, the thing that irrationally annoys me the most is the way everyone comes for the food in exactly the order it's in the bag. That specifically winds me up and I don't know why, other than that it's ignoring how reality works.

That’s the one. I’ve got to the point watching the football and darts the past couple of weeks when I know its going to be on so I can now mute it on demand. It’s wedged in between all the betting ads and everything else targeted at the lads. 

The coke advert with the tongue and the deliveroo advert with the annoying northern woman have to be the worst on tv right now. I go straight for the mute button.

I've got to admit that I read that as Minoru Suzuki and was imagining a very different darts match. 

Would love to see his reaction to Price giving it the bigun. 

Here’s the official draw. Group H has been called the group of death. Smith will struggle to get out as he’s completely lost his bottle lately. Can’t see past MVG or Price winning it. 

The nature of qualifying for this event has become a joke. It needs an overhaul. 

Fucking hell
