RIDDUM_N_STYLE

Did Edge have another new theme? Couldn’t quite make it out as it was really muted

Hell High (Arrow) - 80s slasher about a teacher who’s traumatised by an event from her childhood and harassed by a student, whom she embarrassed in class, and his friends before she takes violent revenge. Super cheesy and gory but not a lot of kit off action as is common in these films

Bohemian Rhapsody (Netflix) - biopic loosely based on the golden years of Queen and front man Freddie Mercury covering him joining the band, the fall out of him coming out to his wife/friend Mary and falling out with the band culminating with the legendary Live Aid performance at Wembley. Late to the party as usual watching this but I quite enjoyed it

Blood From The Mummy’s Tomb (Legend) - some classic Hammer horror about a team if archaeologists haunted by the spirit of an Egyptian princess who’s resting place they desecrate. Only half watched this but what I saw I enjoyed

Twins of Evil (Legend) - more classic Hammer, this time starring the iconic Peter Cushing as a puritan out to destroy witchcraft only for one of his twin nieces to fall under the spell of a vampire. I’m around 3/4 of the way through and it’s great, Cushing is a nasty bastard and the titular twins are delightfully sexy

He's still majority share holder and major roles are held by his daughter and son in law unless I've missed something, so how gone he actually is and for how long is still to be seen if it is just intended as a PR move from him until the heat blows over. 

Meltzer, Alverez, Sapp and other media sources are saying he’s done done

Hey Dicey your tweet got posted on the former Wrestlecrap forum and didn’t go down well with one poster

On the Snyders alternatives, Home Bargains are selling a version by a brand called Huligan for 39p a bag in 3 flavours, cheese sauce, pizza sauce and honey mustard sauce. Very moorish but of the 3 flavours the honey mustard one seems harder to get hold of, at least in the local stores by work anyway

Looks a decent enough card for the PPV that I might give it a watch on Sunday afternoon 

On the TV thing, it wouldn’t surprise me if eventually they turn Dark Elevation into ROH’s weekly TV, dropping the Dark part of the name and just keep Dark as a 2 hour tertiary show to Dynamite and Rampage

I wonder if Ric might try and persuade WWE to let Charlotte appear, if for nothing else but them doing a triple figure 4 to Lethal, Double J and Karen spot

I will never understand scammers, are their lives that miserable that they feel the need to try and destroy that of others?

Very true. California Dreams was great, amazing theme song. 

Some of the songs from the show still hold up today, least from season 3 when they replaced wet wipe Matt with Sly’s cousin and pushed Jake to lead singer anyway

Jesus tap dancing Christ that Munsters trailer looks beyond shite, the hell is Zombie thinking?

grotesque as they look, you have to laugh. 
 

Now you can remove me 

because I don’t want to stay here with a guy that has a face like a pillsbury dough boy and genome of an Austrian Duke 

I see Shit Poster of the Year is tied up already

What I watched depended on what was airing on that day’s block, if it was any combo of Art Attack, Fun House, Finders Keepers, Knightmare or Sooty then it was CITV, but on a Byker or Grange Hill day it was CBBC

Saddens me that kids TV today is relegated to digital/Freeview (and in CBBC’s case soon to be forever consigned to history) and full of utter tripe, the last good things either block did were modern remakes of classic shows, DangerMouse for CBBC and Thunderbirds Are Go for CITV

Season 4 was definitely too bloated. The Russia story could have been done in a couple of episodes. Despite that, it was the best season since 1 and the great definitely outweighs the poor. Shame season 5 is so far away really.

Side note, who the fuck is this appealing to?

 

People that remember the comic coming out around the year Stranger Things 4 is set during? Its now the 3rd something x TMNT figure series to be announced/released after the Cobra Kai 2 packs and the figure packs based on the Power Rangers/TMNT comic 

Hasbro are just as bad, releasing new Transformers based on the Ecto-1, the DeLorean, one of the jets from Top Gun and the X-Spanse from X-Men among others

I’ve had a bit of an Eat Clean weekend to mark the end of my week off. Friday I had a Bacon roll from Greggs for breakfast followed by a Taco Bell for lunch (£5 crispy chicken taco box with a cheesy roller chaser) and sausage buttys for tea then last night I had a curry takeaway comprised of a cocktail tikka masala, keema rice and a cheese naan with a late night side snack of onion bhajis, chicken pakoras and a meat samosa

They've just announced the extras for the Summerslam 92 DVD/BluRay. All in all, not bad for a tenner.

 

Ok that’s a must buy, the Countdown show AND the 3 episodes of Superstars prior to the PPV? Sold!!!

How has no one ever mentioned that he looks like that fucking dweeb that used to hang around with the Bushwackers? 

Our mate bloody Jameson?

Thought it was a fantastic show, wasn’t too familiar with most of the NJPW talent outside of the main Gaijins (White, ZSJ, Cobb and Osprey), Okada, Tanahashi, Suzuki, Shingo and Shibata but I was impressed by a few, particularly Clark Connors, Kanemaru and the Dojo lads

Wasn’t expecting Taz to be part of the announce team, and was disappointed that JR and Tony were relegated to guest roles, but I thought he, Man in Mask and Kevin Kelly blended well as a team. Also loved the contrast in styles between Justin Roberts and  Takuro Shibata on ring announcing (nice cushy job for Bobby Cruise getting to do one match too), especially for the 4 way IWGP Title match

The Wind In The Willows (BritBox) - the pilot movie for the 80’s stop motion animated series of the same name made by Cosgrove Hall (the company behind the likes of Danger Mouse, Count Duckula and The Animal Shelf). Wonderful bit of childhood nostalgia with Sir David Jason stealing the show as the mischievous Toad

The comments on social media are pretty vile. I get the feeling some people who have had a wank over her are now feeling even more insecure than before. 

There also seems plenty of adults who seem to not realise wrestling is not a real fight so think she has an advantage. 

Aka the Nyla Rose approach

Swerve In Our Glory vs El Desperado and Yoshinobu Kanemaru officially confirmed for the Buy In with a 3rd match added now as The Factory’s QT Marshall and Aaron Solo take on Chaos’ Hirooki Goto and Yoshi-Hashi

Gisele Shaw has came out as Transgender

I hadn’t been online since that afternoon as I’d been in work so had no indication of what happened until the opening of Raw that night with the ‘In Memory Of’ graphic and Vince’s promo in the empty arena. I was shook up thinking he, Nancy and Daniel had died in some tragic way like a house fire or monoxide poisoning, and could only get through half an hour of the show as I was tearing up

I woke the next morning expecting to see if my thoughts were true, only to find out what actually had happened and I was stunned, angered and even more upset. Think I spent much of that afternoon either on here or the old Wrestlecrap forum

So surreal to think it’s a decade and a half since it happened but still seems so recent

So the final card looks as follows (spoilered as there’s a match that gets added on Rampage tomorrow)

Also Kevin Kelly has confirmed he’ll be on commentary for the PPV, presumably making a 4 man booth with JR, Tony and Man in Mask

I’m big into my movie collecting, very rarely buy anything brand new though, I mostly wait for sales or cheap deals on Amazon/in HMV and browse CEX and charity shops

Just last week I used some CEX credit and got second hand copies of 2 of Indicator’s 3 Sinbad movie releases for less than a 3rd of the price of getting the box set of all 3 brand new

I do need to watch my space though, I re did my DVD and Blu Ray movie collection lists in Letterboxd last weekend and including multi feature sets, box sets and the odd double dip, I have over 400 movies on my shelves in one wardrobe 

Watched a couple of 80’s slashers over the weekend 

Nightmare Beach (Freevee) - an Italian/American film about a town overrun by young people on Spring Break who get taken out by a mysterious figure in biker leathers and a blacked out helmet, believed to be a notorious gang leader who was seemingly given death by electrocution for his crimes. The victims meet their grisly end by variously similar ends and it’s up to a broody college footballer and the barmaid he has the hots for to solve the mystery. John Saxon of Nightmare on Elm Street fame plays a corrupt cop superbly

Intruder (Arrow) - a checkout girl’s ex boyfriend causes trouble at the end of her shift and her and her colleagues are stalked around the store on their night shift by someone believed to be him however it’s not all it seems. This was a movie heavily promoted as starring Bruce Campbell, as it came out 2 years after Evil Dead 2 and in between the Maniac Cop films, however he and Sam and Ted Raimi barely featured (it’s Ted who gets the most screen time)
