  1. I agree. That 84 minutes felt like 3 hours. I actually thought Margaret Qualley was poor with some weird quasi Miley Cyrus impersonation and a terribly written character not doing her justice. Some of the sub plots went nowhere which is unforgivable in such a short film. My screening was silent, none of the jokes landed. The trailer looked so promising.
  2. That Makes sense. I normally only watch the first hour or 2 of Raw at most, though normally all of Smackdown.
  3. @Statto I don’t disagree. My point was, right now it’s ice cold. When was the last time either had a match on TV, and a decent one? Feels like forever. Because they are on different shows there has been no interaction. Now, the same could have been said about Cody and Roman, except they have crossed shows. Right now it’s the equivalent of Jimmy and Jay leaving visual voice notes to each other. As @Doog said, the video package will make you care, but there has been nothing on TV to make it seem the big deal it is. I think me and David numbers have a better feud going on than half the current WrestleMania card.
  4. Let’s hope this doesn’t happen eh
  5. It’s a weird thing to suggest. Unless you’re purely basing it only on the last few of WWE posts. Because I’ve watched almost constantly since 1990. And there was certainly a period post AEW launching where it felt like they were really trying, and there was two exciting promotions to watch on a weekly basis. But post Mania last year a lot of it has been dross. I think the last time I saw matches I truly enjoyed was probably MitB. Despite your prior comments of me being just an AEW fanboy, that’s not completely true. Yes it’s hard to love a company who has had Vince at the top and allegations like Ashley swimming around. But when I watch wrestling I do it because I crave that enjoyment, and it ain’t delivering for me. This whole shit show around the Wrestlemania main event this year is a great example of breaking something that didn’t need fixing. And for those who think this is going to be an amazing Mania, I’m happy you feel that way. But I think it’s a mess and I’m looking forward to it less then last year by a country mile. Nothing is clicking for me. As for the USO match, I appreciate it’s got a story, but what have either actually done recently to make me feel it’s going to be a good match? This has Matt vs Jeff stench around it, but there’s still time for that to be built up. @Devon Malcolmis right though. And the 3 way last year certainly over delivered and I wasn’t expecting it to. I’m not going to be tuning in wanting to hate it, life’s to short to watch 8 hours of wrestling you’re going in to hate watch, and I’ll be ready to tip my hat when it delivers.
  6. Wrestlemania the Showcase of the Immortals. The Super Bowl of Wrestling events. It should be where you have your biggest stars in important matches which sees them conclude a story. This feels like a random Smackdown match. If WrestleMania was 1 night, this wouldn’t probably make the pre show.
  7. Not like me to disagree with David Numbers, but I feel this WrestleMania is ice cold outside of The Rock and Cody. Even Bayley vs Iyo Sky feels tepid right now, despite feeling quite hot just a few weeks ago. When LA Knight vs AJ Styles and Uso vs Uso is being pushed as big matches you have to wonder if NAME REDACTED was right on Wrestlemania not being a 2 night event. I’m getting late 00’s/early 10’s vibes from the card so far.
  8. Just replace him already, he’s the worst commentator they have on the roster anyway
  9. The Hot Cross Bun pie at McDonalds is fucking grim. An almost mincemeat (fruit) like filing and dollops of a butter flavoured sauce. Pure filth and not in the good way.
  10. Absolutely not. It maybe why he does it, for the reasons listed, but you don’t have all the same symptoms if you’re neurodivergent so maybe it’s just because he’s scatty full stop.
  11. @Supremo he’s also ADHD and is waiting for an Autism assessment. It’s pretty common for your eyes to dart around when talking to someone rather than stare down the barrel as it were. I’m not saying that’s definitely the reason but it’s something I know I do as frustrating as it is.
  12. @BomberPati can confirm it’s not a voice he’s putting on really, just a bit louder. As for all the Essex-isms he’s only dialed that up a bit (though as an East End boy via Essex knockers isn’t what you’d drop someone on a Tiger Driver 91 but you could a Pedigree).
  13. Maybe you should have then because it was a belter of an episode. Mone getting the full CM Punk treatment was great. Obviously it was wrestlings worst kept secret of 2024, but I thought it was a great introduction for her and now all eyes on the booking to see if this sees changes going forward. To start with a woman’s main event is promising if nothing else and Rhio and Willow did a great job. I skipped Jerrihook, because life’s too short. Thought Wardlow and Joe had a really good match, wonder if they will play up Wardlow was in the ropes even if he didn’t grab hold? Swerve looked a boss coming out. Ospreay with another decent promo, a clean break for the BBSG after another match where you wonder how derby survives. And a fun trios match leading to an exciting sounding Kingston/Okada for next week. Really good episode and loved the increase in hype videos.
  14. Thought they had an agreement in place for ages. Mariah May was signed while she was in Stardom.
  15. Great fun that, thanks for setting it up
  16. I saw the comments about The Curse so was prepared for a weird ending, but fuck me. I enjoyed it so Ben if I’m still trying to dissect it.
  17. It will look great with a rubber chicken next to it
  18. I’ve read this at least 10 times and I think I’m missing something because surely your daughters 12 year old brother would be your son?
  19. Great Thread idea! First WrestleMania watched? This is a tough one, I think it was 6, off a VHS tape my mate had. The first proper one I watched though (as in remember it all, was 9, I remember setting up the Video Recorder to record it over night and watching it when I finished school that day. Favourite WrestleMania? 17. Obvious I know, but when I was in College there were a group of us who were into it and we would all go to one house and stay up and watch it live and stumble into College after a few hours sleep. It had everything we wanted, Hardcore matches, TLC, Limp Bizkit and Rock vs Austin. Just a fantastic event, all killer no filler pretty much Have you ever been to WrestleMania? Me and my best mate from College always vowed to go to a Mania. we had tickets for Mania 30, full weekend, and then 6 months out he got a job on Geordie Shore and we had to sell them. Gutting. But we were on the floor for All In last year which made up for it. Best/Worst WrestleMania matches. Warrior v Hogan (Mania 6), Bret vs Shawn Iron Man (I know its not aged well, but still), TLC 2 and Rock vs Austin at 17. Savage/Steamboat from 3 is also still a great match. It's the one thing modern Wrestlemanias have lost. If you asked me what my favourite match was from any of the last 6 Mania's was, I would struggle. Worst Match, Playboy Match at whatever Mania that was (27?). Awful. Best/Worst WrestleMania moments. The Crowd for Hogan/Rock at 18. Bryan winning twice at 30. The Hardy Boyz return in the tag team match. All great. Worst is some of the events in the last few years. Some proper guff Manias. Favourite WrestleMania theme and/or intro? I loved the intros to 16-19. 16 I think was the Classy Freddie Blassie one, that was insane. The one for 21 was pretty good to, what with the movie parodies. Favourite WrestleMania announcer call? ("The boyhood dream has come true" etc etc) By the time The Iron Sheik gets to the ring, it will be Wrestlemania 37. God bless the Brain.
  20. He just doesn’t want me to watch Cody win his first world title when he ends up back at AEW
  21. Sure, but you realise Cody isn’t winning right?
  22. What’s Cody’s obsession of signing for a company and then not being able to fight for the world title because of a stipulation he had in a match he lost?
