Any WCW from the 90s would be great. I enjoyed going to see WCW and the house shows were good value for money, even when they were in the doldrums. You'd get a good mix of real star power then stuff like Haku/Meng in a fatal Four Way for the Hardcore title. Im not sure if I'm thinking about TV tapings, but the set up and production values were pretty decent too if I remember right.

Christ. I didn't know he was this prolific. What a busy little fucker. Maybe it is Peacocks that are scraping the barrel. I wonder if I could book him just to make a few appearances on my behalf.

I might be in the minority here but what's going through the mind of Michael Owen? I know the answer is definitely money, but what's a former Ballon D'or winner doing in a Peacocks window? Unless they've broke the bank getting him on the books that's a hell of a coup for Peacocks. Sure, he's not Ginola, but you're not going to find many fashion conscious dreamboats shopping in Peacocks. It's people on a budget, and if their wives aren't buying their clobber the blokes will be middle aged cheapskates like me that used to watch TFI Friday. Not knocking Peacocks either. As someone who squirms paying more than £20 for any item of clothing I'm all for alternatives to getting rinsed.

The dynamic with Reigns was perfect. A monsterous, cartoon heel relentlessly tormenting the golden boy in an ambulance. At the time I'd have been happy to watch an hour of that a week. I nearly cringed myself inside out during that Becky Lynch promo. Maybe television didn't fully pick up what actually happened, but it seemed like she was reacting to crowd noise that hadn't actually happened. She then stood like a goof until a handful of people put her out her misery with a feeble "You deserve it" chant. I seen someone on social media claiming the "chant" was proof that her standing among the audience was still as strong as ever. I wanted to poke my own eyes out after that segment. I had hoped that the insufferable cunt ishowspeeds appearance at Wrestlemania was a one time deal. I did like though that everyone from the commentators to Logan Paul himself switched to acting like he wasn't there whenever anything more interesting was happening. McIntyre continues to be the best thing on the show and I think he's now one of the few genuine stars they've got at the minute. Levels above the likes of Jey Uso not only in terms of ability but in his presence and charisma. I hope he took them to the cleaners with that new deal.

Despite the best efforts of my better half I've never been a fan of Harry Potter, but I've been really impressed with some of Radcliffes work and I think he's carried himself extremely well. It's no exaggeration to say that he became one of the most recognisable people on earth at an age where I was effectively useless, and in those cases there are no guarantees how things are going to play out. Some people go off the rails completely, some acting careers are finished before they've been able to legally buy a pint, and the level of success he's had should be no means be taken for granted. A Tony award is a big deal, and if anyone's yet to see Imperium make it a priority to see it. I don't know if he welcomes the opportunity to contribute towards the trans debate, but the way he's been positioned by other people is extremely unfair.

I'm just trying to take in how dated (and shit) the vibe of that poster is. Terrifying to think that we're as far from the dawn of Britpop now as the Britpop era was from the 60s. This poster really brings that into focus.

The old "I hope your parents die" CM Punk is still in there somewhere, and rightly so. Years ago i was at a WWE show and when I was standing at a urinal with my whalloper in my hand I sensed the bloke next to me staring at my face and smiling. I wanted to make sure he didn't have serious and complex learning difficulties so I asked him what he wanted. He has this vacant, self satisfied grin on his face and mumbled "I'm here to see Phil Brooks". He looked so pleased with himself. I turned away in disgust but he wasn't done. "Do you know who Phil Brooks is?". I'm not usually an ignorant person but I'm not having that, and certainly not in the toilet. Whenever there are signs CM Punk might hit the skids I'm usually at least slightly sympathetic as I always imagine ghouls like that haunting him constantly. If it had just been your standard, garden variety pervert chancing his luck it wouldn't have bothered me but this character really gave me the creeps.

I'm going to work on the basis that budgetary constraints aren't an issue, as that would be quite a laborious undertaking and would more than likely result in quite a dull list. Ill also include a mix of things I'd like to see and think would benefit society, as well as things that I believe would hold electoral appeal. I won't say which is which. 1) A wide ranging programme of constitutional reform that would see Britain moving towards becoming a more federalist state. Each constituent member of the UK including England would have their own devolved parliaments with powers over everything except in those areas where devolution doesnt make sense. We'd still retain the pound and the central bank, we'd maintain the current arrangements with regards to the military and rights issues would also be a reserved matter. The house of commons would effectively become the legislature for the entirety of the UK, and to ensure parity of esteem each part of the UK would have the same number of members, irrespective of size, similar to the Senate in the United States. Each devolved parliament would have its own smaller, directly elected upper chamber, and collectively the members of these would come together and replace the house of lords on reserved issues. I'd also establish a citizens assembly to advise on contentious policy areas. 2) A programme of renationalisation for utilities and transport. All profits would be reinvested in the respective services. 3) The National Housing Service (might need to work on the name) which would include planning reform to bring about the biggest social housing project in British history. The ultimate aim would be to ensure that anyone who needs affordable social housing is able to get it. 4) A national regulator with effective wide ranging powers, who's brief covers everything from rip off supermarket pricing to corruption in high office. Taking envelopes? The regulators going to get you. Charging £7.50 for Lurpack while swimming in big bucks like Scrooge McDuck? Here comes the regulator. There will also be a regulator for that regulator, and another regulator to regulate the regulators regulator. Time to regulate. 5) Judicial and penal reform. Like housing, I want to ensure that anyone who really wants to go to jail goes to jail, with tougher sentences for some offences. There'd also be actual, meaningful support in many instances, such as for drug addicts and those with mental health issues for example. In many cases they have an insurmountable hill to climb, and as a society we've completely underestimated the support required to properly help people. There'd be a mix of El Salvador style supermax prisons for people I personally don't like, and the Scandinavian style "warm bed and a friendly therapist" approach. Which one you go to depends on whether you've got a face I'd never tire of punching.

I've never heard that commentary before. My thoughts are with Joe Hendrys family at this difficult time.

I tried to show this to the Mrs. She doesn't like Wrestling, and sadly she does not believe in Joe Hendry. Some of the gimmicks I enjoy most defy description, and this certainly applies here. I seen him perform about a decade ago in ICW and whilst the match wasn't memorable (I think he was working through an injury) the entrance showed some star quality. To the tune of "In the air tonight" by Phil Collins, a close up of Joe Hendrys face appeared on the screens while he performed his own rendition. "I can feel Joe Hendry in the air tonight (oh lord) I've been waiting for Joe Hendry, for all of my life (oh lord) Can you feel Joe Hendry in the air tonight? (oh lord)" There was a Stone Cold impersonator wearing a gorilla mask on stage playing a drum too if I recall correctly. Eventually the man himself appeared wearing a gold, sequined suit jacket. There was a future Wrestlemania main eventer and a former ECW champion on the card too, but it was Joe Hendrys night.

Genuinely amazing work. When you look at professionally written lists like this, they don't come close to the standards, insight and soul on display here, not to mention the work that clearly went into compiling what is a tremendous list. Thanks to everyone responsible for bringing this together. You won't find a piece on videogames like this anywhere else.

Imagine the confidence you'd need to even consider trying a prank like that on such a big platform with Ali as the sucker. Aside from the possibility that the routine might bomb, there's a chance you either put the champ in an early grave or trigger an instinctive face punching. He pulled it off really well though, and Ali was a good sport as he often was at that stage of his life. Never did enjoy much of Parky though.

Resuming drunken rage noise?

Shot Caller, a 2017 Crime Thriller starring Nicolai Coster-Walder (Jaime Lanister from Game of Thrones) and Jon Bernthal (who needs no introduction) is a surprisingly enjoyable popcorn movie. At first glance, it looks like it could be one of those Hallmark Christmas movies but it quickly gets into the action and its recommended viewing if you enjoy prison films. It's not going to win any awards and it wasn't a success, but there's more than enough there to enjoy if you're able to overlook any surface level failings.

Miss Argentina serving her country at 60.

Nothing like just casually sticking the king of light entertainment at the bottom, like seeing Steve Mulhearn bringing the house down at Butlins isn't one of the best things anyone's ever seen.

Two things - This is exactly the kind of thing I want to see when I stumble into corners of the internet like this. In 2024, scoring big with 10000 British Rail Teaspoons would be hitting the jackpot. Not so much back when guys like Kriz Garrick were on their pomp.

I've got mixed feelings watching that. On the one hand, if these chuckleheads aren't already at the "Find out" stage it won't be long until they are. At the same time, I can't help feel that dopes like this are allowing themselves to take advantage of their own desperation to be in some way involved in Wrestling. Usually stuff like this would be a cautionary tale of what happens when kids grow up without youth clubs and play parks.

After 5 minutes of "research", there are apparently 3 versions of this band. The "BC" in BC Sweet refers to Brian Connelly I believe, who was their lead vocalist. Our man Kriz Garrick thinks he was the lead vocalist. Perhaps the truth lies in the murky ambiguity of which band is which and he was the lead vocalist in BC Sweet Wolfpac. It would be a crying shame if we had an imposter on our hands.

I've never seen that. This beats the bellyflop by a country mile. What is it with this guy falling right on his beak and nearly ending himself?

Some of Bobby's more recent work. His finest hour. Working mens clubs are an absolute goldmine for shit event posters. Living in former coal country I see them everywhere. I'll keep my eyes peeled for any that are especially brilliant.

If they are the responsive, agile operation they've been presenting themselves as in recent months it'll be plain as day to them that it didn't work. Whilst taking a different approach on Raw might be like getting the eggs out of a cake, you have to imagine that even high farce would be preferable to a 3 hour version of that. If it was my call I'd let the whole thing descend into chaos and find a way to assign people amidst the carnage.

I wouldn't be surprised if Labour actively persued this defection. It's definitely not going to appeal to anyone likely to be familiar with a low ranking MPs previous record, but parties like the optics of it. Rats deserting a sinking ship, another blow for the beleaguered PM, Labour are on the up etc. The fact that theyre able to closely associate this MP with the NHS is also a factor, because Labour are on the side of Doctors!!! There'll have been all kinds of "discussions" of course, not that we'll ever know the details. The last one Wakefield referred to Labour as "a bunch of cunts" and within months he was a PPS before being appointed an opposition whip later that year. Make of that what you will. It wouldn't flabbergast me if Poulter ended up with a plum job after the election, or even as Lord Poulter. We might not like it, but the current Labour partys current doctrine is one of ruthless pragmatism. It's not entirely senseless, even if it is thoroughly unprincipled.

You're never going to have a "draft" that isnt intellectually compromised as a viable mechanism for moving wrestlers around different shows in the same company. I'm not adverse to a superficial veneer of realism, but if they're going to make a spectacle of it, the primary aim should be creating good television. This was a big, wet shit of a programme and if I'd paid money to be in that arena id be livid. As others have said it's like they were reluctantly committed to doing it and were determined to get through it while making as few meaningful changes as possible. That in itself is bewildering, as it's not like the respective rosters wouldn't benefit from a shake up. The best I can hope for is that they don't move McIntyre to Smackdown as that would see my Clash in the Castle fever dream disappear down the U-Bend along with Fridays show. I'm never comfortable picking apart someone's appearance (I'm very comfortable) but that contract signing looked like a hostage exchange. Cody can look like a million dollars one week, and look sick as a pig the next, but more makeup than Barbara Cartland couldn't hide the fact that he looked washed up and weary. You'd think with that many miles on the clock he'd know what he can do and what he can't, but perhaps AJ was on to something when he talked about the weight of the title. Hopefully he'll be back with that shit eating grin on Monday. The jury is out on Carmelo Hayes for me. He's just too smooth and polished. His movement, his mannerisms, he's one of these guys thatll give you the same level of energy in an empty arena as he would in a packed stadium. You never want to get the sense that if you've seen it once you've seen it all, and whilst he's certainly from that "superstar" mold you want a few carefully integrated rough edges in your routine. Yes, I'm complaining because he's too slick. Also, the Dudleys put their glasses on.

There are a couple of factors in terms of position, timing and synchronicity that suggest it was planned that way. We're very much in the dark ages in terms of innovation and creativity. I fear we're now at a stage where there's nothing new under the sun, so we'll either see truly brilliant ideas or second rate ones that would previously have been dismissed as daft. A less charitable reading would be that one of them called the move, and the other one was confused as to who was supposed to be doing what.
