I wouldn't be entirely surprised if Britt loses to Shida at the PPV, only to see Thunder Rosa take the title soon after. This vindicates Rosa's victory in the unsanctioned match and gives Britt someone to chase with some real emotional connection. I could be wrong but long term story telling, innit?

The flipside to that is Britt winning at the PPV, steamrolling through a few challengers then having to defend it against the person she lost her biggest match too.

The PPV looks cracking to be fair. The only match I'm not arsed about is Miro vs Lance. Miro is boss but Lance has been badly overexposed for me. Drifting between heel and face, going 10 minutes with scrubs every other week on Dark and having Jake cut rambling promos for him has killed the aura he has this time last year.

Gorgeous girl.

Reminder that, briefly, Sam Allardyce was England manager. I always try and remember that when I'm feeling sad.

100% record too!

When you wipe your arse and there's nothing there. No shitty residue at all. 

To be honest, I'm disappointed in this place that nobody mentioned anything dump-related already.

I'm struggling to remember seeing a wrestler as blown up 2 minutes into a match as Luther was on Dark this week. 

I really enjoy Dark and Elevation for the most part, but surely they could have one show at the end of the week or on a weekend? Two long Youtube shows on consecutive days followed by Dynamite the day after is overkill.

Also, how is Janela's death valley driver safe? It always looks like an instant broken neck. The same goes for Chuck's Awful Waffle. If they've found a way to make those moves look devastating but safe as houses, fair fucks to them. 

Cody Rhodes couldn't order a fucking pizza without breaking out into tears, could he?

According to Cagematch, WON gave it 4 & 3/4 Stars, so near perfect

That's 2 1/4 stars short of perfection.

The numbers don't lie, and they spell disaster for you at Sacrifice!

I'm sure I've told this story on here before but threads like this always bring to mind the lass at Uni who gave me a blowjob then, as I was approaching climax, held her hands out under my old chap as though it was a fucking hand dryer or something.

Really fun big lads match on Dark this week with Brian Cage vs one of the Bear Country lads. Also worth checking out the Jungle Boy match for Taz singing his theme. 

JD Drake vs 10 was a bit of a cracker too. Pretty Picture are really fun, in a shit kind of way. 

BBC News at 6 then was the most ridiculously pro-Tory it's ever been. Almost a propaganda machine for the Conservatives. Laura Kuenssberg could barely contain her glee at the results.

@Shy Dad Do you have any canals by you that you can use to run on? I used to hate roadrunning as constantly stopping for traffic/pedestrians/whatever got on my tits, but since going on a canal route last year I'm enjoying running more than ever. Obviously you'll have the odd bridge but for the most part the route should be fairly flat, and there's less people around than on the road. The only people I really see on my route are other joggers and old men fishing.

Apologies if it’s already been mentioned, but I’ve just slid through A Town Called Panic, which is a gorgeous French stop-motion slice of anarchy. I can’t say that I’ve ever seen anything quite like it. Would recommend! 

Sounds good, but I'll probably just watch it normally.

I'm sure this will all turn out to be Charlotte Flair's fault.

Either that or Jeremy Corbyn's.

Adama Traore would win the lot while dribbling a ball, before trying to slot it into an empty goal and sending it into Row Z instead.

I remember being home from Uni one weekend and putting Royal Rumble 2010 on. I think as it's the first time I'd been home in a few months my old man wanted to spend a bit of time with me, so had a go of sitting through this wrestling bollocks he usually hated.

The first match was Christian vs Ezekiel Jackson. 'There's no way the white lad can beat the black one in a fight'.

Ten minutes later after Christian wins; 'I'm going down the pub'.

A tasteful tribute to one of the best wrestlers of the last 25 years.

You're having a laugh.

It's a testment to how good the video package is that everyone is forgetting Kane has been fucking terrible, fast-forward material for 95% of his career.

Wrong Turn is really quite poor, which is a shame as there are the bones of a good film in there somewhere (mostly involving Matthew Modine). Changing the nature of the villains and adding some political overtones just isn't necessary in a franchise that is built on people getting killed in the woods by mutants. It feels like two different films got mashed together in the edit at times, and the last 10 minutes is dreadful. Yes Day got shat on a lot but it's a perfectly decent family movie. I do have a soft spot for those types of films though as it's the kind of thing I used to watch with my mam on Channel 5 on a Sunday evening. Judas And The Black Messiah is worth watching for the performances of LaKeith Stanfield and Daniel Kaluuya but it never quite gripped me in the way I hoped it would and it loses focus a little towards the end. 

The Little Things has all the ingredients of a decent crime thriller so its a surprise it didn't work at all. Denzel Washington sleepwalks through the film and his chemistry with Rami Malek is non-existent. The ending would be more interesting if it came at the back of a better film. 76 Days is a documentary about the outbreak of the Covid pandemic in Wuhan. Maybe I'm just desensitised after seeing some of the really good frontline reports on BBC News over the last year but this didn't do anything for me. 

Cherry is one of those films where I can recognise it's got a hundred flaws yet I still really liked it. Considering it's 2 hours 20, it zips along and never stops in one place for too long and was more idiosyncratic than I'd expected. Tom Holland is great but there's a few really good supporting roles in this too, and it was nice to see Jack Reynor pop up in something again. One of my favourites of the year so far. Zack Snyder's Justice League is a huge improvement on the original and still a baffling, stupid waste of time which is terribly paced. 

Infinitum: Subject Unknown is a time loop film that is nowhere near as interesting as it thinks it is, and by the time it started to make sense I'd stopped paying attention. Just watch Source Code instead. Ian McKellan gets the easiest payday of his career here too, he's in it for about 20 seconds filmed over Skype but he's plastered over all the posters! Retaliation is a really grim, tough watch about a victim of sexual abuse coming face to face with the priest who abused him. Orlando Bloom is probably at his career best here as a man consumed with rage, and Charlie Creed-Miles is always great, but it's so bleak and nasty it's honestly hard to recommend. Made In Italy was a lovely watch to follow it up with, just a warm nice film which immediately made me want to go on holiday. Liam Neeson's lad isn't very good, mind.

Lastly, Ammonite was terrific. I wasn't a big fan of God's Own Country so probably went in with low expectations, but I loved it. It would make an obvious but fantastic double-bill with Portrait Of A Lady On Fire.

They've had two years to come up with a name for Roode/Ziggler and the best they could do was Dirty Dawgs?!

You just knew they were trying to drag the movie out to reach that 4 hour mark as soon as they did a slow-mo scene of Lois Lane walking out of a coffee shop.

I'm really enjoying the performances in Falcon & Winter Soldier, and I'm liking how it gives us more time exploring Sam and Bucky beyond just being Steves mates. But the actual storytelling is so clunky it keeps pulling me out of it. 

@Mr_Danger Wash that Anthony Mackie diss out of your mouth!

This outrage at laughing at flags is just another example of gammon cunts being the real snowflakes, isn't it? If Only Fools and Horses came out today would these melts have a problem with Rodney and Del Boy taking the piss out of Alberts WW2 hard-on?

I like him. And if we're giving jobs to the boys, I'd much rather have QT on my screen than Luther or Brandon Cutler.

I don’t want a full-time on-air authority figure but I have often wondered how Mick Foley would do in that role. Even if it’s just every few months.

He’s always been great whenever he’s done it in the past and for as much as he’s exposed himself to be a creep in real life you can’t knock his promos. There’s hardly anyone in the business who’s better at getting guys over when he’s given a proper opportunity.

I thought his last run as Raw GM was poxy. The passionate promos he was known for just seemed to be parodies. There was a point he was yelling at the top of his voice about how Sheamus and Cesaro were the two best in the world or something and he was trying really hard to make it an epic promo moment, but instead he just came across as a mad old rambling bloke.

I don't understand Dark: Elevation at all right now. The only thing that seperated this from a normal Dark was the dreadful Omega/Sydal/Nakazawa/Khan bollocks. Khan was dreadful here and could do with a spokesman to come out and talk for him - Jerry Lynn has popped up a few times so him maybe?

Other than that it was just another bloated Dark. I would've assumed Elevation would be a showcase edition of Dark, kind of a bridge to Dynamite with around 4-5 matches a week maybe. If they're running both these shows in the future plus their planned second TV show, that's way too much content. 

Hopefully the massive runtime on this was a one-off due to it being the debut show and in future either this or Dark will be toned down, but I've got a bad feeling we're heading to AEW having 2-hour shows every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

QT Marshall vs Marko Stunt was really fun, on the plus side.
