RIDDUM_N_STYLE

Watched TMNT Out of the Shadows on Tuesday via Kodi. Enjoyed it a lot more than the first film, Sheamus was surprisingly good as Rocksteady, still don't like Megan Fox as April and Stephen Amell is great as Casey, almost Arrowesque at times

I'd say PCW are well within their right to be fucked off, they'd booked one of ROH's top names to win one of their titles on the promise it would be promoted on ROH TV which never happened then ROH book a show on their first UK tour for nearly a decade in the same city, with a similar bell time, at a venue 20-30 minutes walk from where PCW are running, a week before they are meant to be doing a cross promotion weekender.

I've only seen the first hour of Raw so far, so forgive me if this gets explained later in the show (or indeed in the Raw thread), but it's been driving me to distraction.

What are those little badges that everyone was wearing in the first segment? Not sure if anyone else had them too. Is it some kind of subtle charity thing?

It's for Connor's Cure, the children's cancer charity set up by WWE in honor of Connor Michalek

The new ring announcer is awful.

I understand they have to put the likes of Cutler, No Way Jose, Liv Morgan, Angelo Dawkins on the show as they need experience but as soon as Nakamura, Asuka, Aries, Roode and Joe get called up you're left with a bunch of Shit arses and the show goes to shit.

Dasha isn't new, she splits ring announcing duties with Greg Hamilton on TV tapings

It was baz, the only redeemable quality was Jackie Earl Haley as Freddy

Yeah I got a lot of love for New Nightmare, it was Freddy back to his creepy best, something that had been lost by Freddy's Dead

Is Civil War 2 worth a read? is there anywhere online I can get collected comics or a good rip or whatnot? There's fuck all comic shops around here and I cannot be arsed to faff finding individual entries. Worth waiting for collections to be released?

Reed Comics is a good one from what I've seen, has all the newer releases as well as plenty of back issues for decent prices and they take both PayPal and card payments

This is the full card then for Takeover

 

Samoa Joe v Shinsuke Nakamura - NXT Title

Bayley v Asuka - NXT Women's Title

The Revival v Ciampa/Gargano - NXT Tag Team Titles

Austin Aries v No Way Jose

Bobby Roode v Andrade Cien Almas

Ember Moon debut

Went to see Suicide Squad this afternoon and for the most part I enjoyed it, certainly kept my interest more than Batman vs Superman did. Thought Will Smith was the stand out of all the leads as Deadshot and his and Harley's chemistry shone bright (I believe he and Margot Robbie have paired off on screen before so that helped). Found Leto's Joker to be super creepy to be honest, like a hideous cross between Cesar Romero's campy Joker and Heath Ledger's psychotic verson, did like the brief nods to the Batman animated series though in the flashbacks. The two things that didn't sit right with me were The Flash suit and actor, not taken to him just yet as I'm a big fan of the TV version and would have liked to see how Grant Gustin would have played the role on the big screen, and Waller being part of the movie universe when 

but thats just being nitpicky

Watched The Killing Joke myself earlier, thought it was decent, though needed less of the Batgirl side of things. Conroy and Hammill are just perfect as Bats and Joker in the way they play off each other

Beyond made up that Finn won but I think they could have done it better by NOT having Reigns and Rollins involved, they built it up by putting the blame on Roman for not bringing the title to Raw so put him in one of the 4 ways to earn his way to the title match, yet Rollins got the fast track to Summerslam despite having 3 cracks at the title in ONE WEEK and not winning any of them. Imo both of them should have been frozen out as punishment

Yeah I'm deffo getting in them Hasbro style figures if they go for a decent price, smart thinking from WWE and Mattel that is

Pleasantly surprised that they went for two face GMs for a change, though I feel they may have only gone for Foley cos of his reality show starting in a couple of weeks on the network. Also does anyone else think it's a bit daft that they've booked a WWE title match 2 days running between two of the 3 guys involved in the title match Sunday?

Loved how the near entirety of last nights show was just for the Balor/Nakamura match, was an absolute cracker

Watched the 1958 version of The Fly before as I'd never seen it, absolutely brilliant piece of B movie goodness

 

Straight after that I watched an old favourite of mine in the 1986 Transformers film, which is still visually stunning 30 years on. Looking forward to getting the new Shout Factory bluray of the film later in the year

That was truly exceptional. Better than anything LU have ever done.

It really wasn't

Just watched it, can't tell if I liked it or hated it. This whole storyline has been entertaining though from the clips I've seen. Still prefer WWE and LU though over TNA

 

Been working my way through the Toxic Avenger movies, the first 3 are really fun cheesy films but I'm not digging the 4th one so far

 

Troma lost all of their money and made a crappy looking fourth one to get by. It didn't work.

 

 

Ah that explains why Toxie looks so different then, the make up work on the actor playing him is awful

Been working my way through the Toxic Avenger movies, the first 3 are really fun cheesy films but I'm not digging the 4th one so far

When are the next tapings, I think I saw somebody mention they are tonight?

 

You would be correct sir, Triple H has been hyping the Balor/Nakamura match on social media that is a part of the tapings

Wait are we suggesting that Craig Jarrett is a wrestleuk multi?

Looks like the triple threat won't be happening at Battleground now, Reigns has been suspended for a Wellness violation for 30 days

I have to admit I didn't recognise Ellering at first without his shades and newspaper, was only when Graves pointed it out on commentary that it clicked

 

Done a bit of research, apparently that new monster team have been known as the Authors of Pain on the NXT house shows under hoods, one is Dutch-Albanian the other is Canadian

 

Aries/Nakamura was match of the night for me, one of the best Aries has been in since signing while Shinsuke continues to be awesome

That Shockmaster figure is as awesome as, if not moreso than, the Bluetista figure they put out 2 years ago

Probably one of the biggest roars at Goodison this season when that KO happened, tremendous stuff from Bomber. Got a laugh reading the Twitter comments about his post fight interview, calling him a bell and claiming Haye would knock him clean out if he dropped back to Cruiser level, I honestly think Tony would cause Haye a lot of problems
