First show I went to was a show at the Everton Park Sports Centre which was headlined by Davey Boy when he done that mini tour in 93 after leaving WCW

First WWE show was the second house show they did at the Echo Arena in April 2009, headlined by Cena/Mysterio v Edge/Big Show

Whatever happened to Vlad? Is he even still a fan?

Also why is he eating this off of his sofa? What kind of person gets on their knees to eat their food off their fucking sofa. Something not right there.

It's something of a gimmick, he does all his food, toy, junk and sub box reviews off that sofa, even put out a phone holder in the shape of it for his own custom bag of goods around Christmas time

So Slammiversary is pretty much a bust to watch tonight considering the stuff coming out of the tapings over the last few days, spoilers

 

Aries v Richards -

 

 

Lashley/Anderson v ECIII/Tyrus -

 

 

Brooke/Kong v Dollhouse - May or may not be Kong's and Taryn's last match for TNA

 

Magnus v Storm - 

 

Do we really need ANOTHER Spider-Man reboot? There's been two in the last 13 years.

 

They aren't doing it for a stand alone film just yet, more to fit him in to the Captain America Civil War film

 

Sting did make absolutely no sense as well. At the time I loved the big moment when he joined them (and took 6 years to tear off his t-shirt for the big reveal)

 

I watched that clip on the WWE website just the other day. Looking at it he seems to be trying to tear it from the top like Hogan, realises it’s not happening, so rips it from the bottom upwards instead.

 

Bit funny how he can scoop slam The Giant and then can’t rip his t-shirt off.

 

 

Think he forgets in that split second that he hasn't cut the round neck bit off the shirt first before putting it on

One of the true icons of Horror Cinema, a sad sad day for anyone who was a fan of his work as Dracula in the Hammer films or any of his other iconic roles like Count Dooku in Star Wars or his role in Lord of the Rings

Late to the party as ever, but I've finally started watching Arrow and from the nine episodes I've seen so far, I really like it

In terms of fast food, I tend to favor KFC more out of the major chains, then McDonalds (mostly when they get the LTOs in) then Subway with the King a dead last, last resort. Got a taste for Taco Bell too but the nearest one is in the Arndale in Manchester, which I only get to every now and again

 

Had a beast of a burger from a local takeaway one Saturday a few weeks back, when I was coming off a nightmare day in work. It was a double cheesburger topped with a piece of chicken (the cheap cut frozen kind they put on burgers) and a mound of donner meat topped with mayo and sweet chilli sauce, absolute heaven

Just this second finished the show, absolute quality from start to finish, capped by Samoa Joe's debut. Sasha/Becky was match of the night by far, that's how a divas match should be imo

Just kill the company now, how in gods name do you get cancelled from two networks in less than a year?

They are trying to make the Chamber somewhat interesting though for the short build by having the two matches be for the vacant IC title and the tag belts

So was Bubba Ray's comeback a one-off then? He's still begging WWE for work on his twitter

Unbelievably yes, they brought him in to do a one shot deal as they also brought back Velvet Sky at the same taping

Clearvision have announced this morning that they will no longer be producing TNA DVDs for the UK with the One Night Only World Cup event being their last release. All preorders for Bound for Glory and the Best of Sting have been cancelled and refunded and they have reduced most of the DVDs they previously released down to £6.99

I don't get Hulk and Thor being left out. It has to be a wind up.

Isn't Thunderbolt's sole reason for existing, The Hulk?

 

On another note, looking at that Suicide Squad photo, Kinnaman looks fucking tremendous as Rick Flagg. Effortless charisma bouncing off the cunt.

 

 

 

 

Who was the 'Coming Soon' bloke on this week's episode?

 

Great build for the main Takeover matches this week. I never really liked Kevin Owens when he was Kevin Steen, but he's utterly compelling on NXT, I was gripped by his Michael Cole interview. The Becky Lynch video package and Sasha Banks promo were both great too.

 

Bull Dempsey got squashed by Rhyno, but it's still the best I've ever seen him look.

 

Dana Brooke continues to be shite.

Uhaa Nation?

Yep it is indeed Uhaa, first time I've heard him speak, quite soft spoken for the size of him, was expecting a deeper voice

Enjoyed the second episode of Peter Cars Car Share. Found the situation funny. Nice cameo from one of the Phoenix Nights cast."What's the etiquette for asking a widow for your shovel back?"

The bit at the end with the girls neighbour creased me up. Looking forward to the rest of the series now

And then Bruce Hart comes out and not only accepts the apology but slates him and takes an unneeded shot at Neville

I was hyped to watch Empire due to the promos airing several times a day, hell they even put the promo on before Avengers Age of Ultron but with the music slowed down, watching it though made me feel flat. There were some good parts and some bad, particularly how the gay son is perceived by his family, doesn't help that I think Terrence Howard has a very punchable face

 

Did enjoy that new Peter Kay show, though I'm bound to as I'm a fan of his work apart from his most recent live stand up. Did it get mentioned if they were taping any of the Phoenix Nights shows they did for Comic Relief for a DVD release?

 

Anyone seen Jane the Virgin yet? Thought the first episode was pretty poor tbh 

Just watching the Feb 2nd 98 episode of Raw, that whole 3 segment angle with the Outlaws, Foley and Funk is still powerful to watch 17 years on from when it happened. What sells how serious it was was Sunny's tears and how fired up Scorpio got, leading to that mini brawl

 

The Renee Young Seth Rollins thing feels like an advert for an interview, way too short. It's a shame because I can happily look at Renee for ages and they seemed to touch on some nice subjects (micro breweries) but it's too edited down. 20 minute or so version would be great.

 

 

Where on demand is this?

 

 

On the Originals section

For those complaining about the film being rushed, there supposedly was at least another 30+ mins of footage chopped out, including stuff in the promotional material, in order to get the film down to a similar length as the first

 

An extended cut will be on the bluray release

Seeing as Daniel Bryan is injured and we've got Barrett v Neville on the pre-show for Extreme Rules now instead, it got me thinking. What was the last 1 on 1 match featuring 2 Englishmen on a WWE PPV? Only one that comes to mind from relatively recent memory is Regal v Burchill but I'm not even sure they ever had a PPV match. Anyone know?

 

It's never happened, Barrett v Neville is the first all English PPV match in WWE history

Got back from seeing Age of Ultron a couple of hours ago, absolutely brilliant from start to finish. The first film and Guardians still top it though. The only grumble I had was the price of my ticket, £11 for the 2D version in the Liverpool One Odeon

Going to see Age of Ultron tomorrow, cannot wait for it. Just hope I'm not too hungover to enjoy it as I'm out tonight with my mates from work haha
