Speaking of spoilers (and I'm sure this has probably been discussed previously) but I noticed that when you use the search function, it brings back the chapters. So with a chapter at the beginning and end of each match, half the search results just tell you how the match ends. Bit annoying.

Just had a thought, do they add any of the content that airs on the app during the ad breaks into the Raw's that are added to the network? 

So... You can watch the network through the Chrome browser on any other platform but not on a Chromebook? I mean, I don't have a Chromebook so I have no idea how different the browser would be but this seems a bit strange.

 

In other news, despite being a subscriber from the start, I've only used it to watch a few things on my MacBook. Getting it running in full through the PS3 last night was a glorious experience.

Maybe have him take the US title off of Rusev at Mania then have him turn heel on Bryan or Cena at Raw the next night. Beating Rusev will make him look really strong and turning straight after should get him a ton of heat.

 

Although I have no idea where that leaves Cena for Wrestlemania if we're hypothesising that Bryan's getting the title shot against Lesnar.

 

And having Reigns in the main event with the US title would probably be a bit out of place, too. He could go the Austin route and throw it in a river but that'll just devalue it even more!

Did I imagine it or wasn't there a story doing the rounds recently (I'm almost certain it was from an interview a recently sacked writer gave) where it was mentioned that Vince had wanted to do a Mighty Mouse gimmick with Neville so they got the art department to mock up some ideas for an outfit and when they showed them to Vince, his response was "No, I actually meant Mighty Mouse! Well, we probably couldn't get the rights, anyway."

 

But as I pretty much only get my wrestling information from here and the Observer and no one else has mentioned it, I'm now wondering where the hell I heard it.

Easy enough to Google. It's a good mix, but there's some weird inclusions and some obvious ones I'm surprised aren't on the list.

I saw someone on here recently mention that the people who still boo Cena probably don't even remember why they boo'd him in the first place but just in case anyone forgot, it's because he was pushed too fast, too soon and was a green as fuck worker main eventing shows with the likes of Angle, Benoit, Guerrero, etc on the undercard. He was over exposed and looked really poor in comparison to others not getting anywhere near the push he was and so there was a backlash.

 

Reigns is still getting great reactions but he's not a very good promo and his singles matches haven't been all that great. At least Cena had decent mic work. It puts WWE in a tricky position but hopefully they can see where they went wrong with Cena and protect Reigns from a similar fate.

The Ascension are awful and probably the worst thing in NXT at the moment (so good riddance to them, in that respect). I'll be pretty surprised if they get over on the main roster and will likely fall into the trading wins rotation in no time.

That's where Titan Towers is now, Rick.

 

I'm guessing that's been updated since, as it refers specifically to WWE, too. I'm sure the Entertainment suffix wasn't even dreamt of back in 83.

Johnny Gargano?

I don't know how legit this is, because it's the blog of a guy who's only got 300 followers on Twitter, but apparently Bully Ray did an interview with this kid.

 

I can't see it happening but he has a point about the promo potential between him and Heyman:

 

 

I’m hearing a lot of people clamoring for me to go back to the WWE to try to see if Bully Ray could do something over there. Personally, I think I could. I think it’d be a lot of fun. If I were to go back to WWE either as Bully Ray by myself or to finish out my career with D-Von as Team 3D, I think both things could work. I think the fans, first and foremost, want to see it. They have been very active on Twitter and social media saying “We want Bully Ray in WWE” or “We want Team 3D back in WWE”. Like I said, if it’s right, maybe it’ll happen. But if it didn’t, I still go out with a huge smile on my face. I tweeted last week that “I’m the 1 who can defeat the 1 who put the 1 in 21-1.” I’m confident in my ability in the ring and I’m confident in my ability on the mic. So from a physical standpoint, Bully versus Brock would be very interesting. And a verbal battle on the microphone, could you imagine Bully Ray and Paul Heyman?

According to the US Patent and Trademark Office, their previous trademarks are still valid.

Because I had no idea what you're talking about, I just went to his Twitter.

 

I assume this is the tweet you're referencing... What's spot on about it?

 

It was a shame when John Oliver left as well, but I'm glad for him that he bailed before it totally went to shit (not sure if he jumped or was pushed but it was for the better anyway).

 

Have you watched Harmon's animated show Rick and Morty? My mate recommended it to me, but I haven't got on to it as yet.

 

John Oliver was back in seasons 4 and 5 too. Don't let that tempt you into watching them though!

 

I've been recommended Rick and Morty too but I haven't got around to watching it yet.

 

Currently rewatching Seinfeld from the beginning, new things can wait until I'm through that.

I'm just going to take this opportunity to talk about Community, seeing as it's been brought up.

 

What the fuck happened to that show? I rewatched it from the start over the last few weeks and that first season is just superb. I'd say it gets progressively worse with each season after that though. Perhaps some of the audience preferred the ridiculous, outlandish episodes but they didn't sit well with me at all. Everyone was expecting a return to form when Harmon came back on board for season 5 but I honestly think that was even worse than what Guarascio and Port delivered with season 4.

 

I have no idea if the new season on Yahoo will be any good. I suppose I'll still watch it out of curiosity but if it's anything like season 4 of Arrested Development, I'll probably never make it all the way through out of it just annoying the shit out of me.

I thought What We Do In The Shadow was fun and everything but it's definitely not even close to my top ten films this year. I thought it was pretty dull, for the most part, and all the best scenes are the ones with the werewolves; which wasn't many.

 

I'd pretty much agree with the rest of their top ten though.

I watched Wolf Children yesterday. My housemate recommended it ages ago and it's just sat on my hard drive for a few months but I was horrifically hungover yesterday and the idea of Japanese cartoons soothed my brain a little. Hadn't read anything about it beforehand and had not real expectations but it was utterly fantastic and I'm a bit annoyed at myself for leaving it so long without watching it.

 

It follows the story of a single mother raising her two children, who are half werewolf. Which sounds a bit daft on paper but the way the film deals with the human struggle in regards to that situation was wonderful.

 

It's directed by the same guy who did The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, which I also thought was pretty good, but this is a real step-up from that. With Miyazaki retiring this year and rumours of Studio Ghibli shutting up shop in his absence, they'd do well to try and get this guy on board because between his writing/direction and their animation studio they could produce something incredible together.

It's definitely been a menu item over here, I have a fairly unhappy memory of being quite ill after eating one when I was 8.

 

I worked at McDonalds for a couple of years whilst I was doing my A Levels and I'm certain it was in for a while then but I haven't eaten there since I left the job which is about 14 years ago. I figure it must have been back since then, though.

Did you not see TNA with the British Eurosport commentary? It was painful viewing. 

 

I reckon Ranallo and Barnett will do a much better job than that though.

I really want to go to Roadburn next year, it's usually a great mix of doom metal and weird electronic artists and next yeah they've got Goblin scoring both Susperia and Dawn of the Dead.

 

I never want to listen to them as I'll no doubt be a bit disappointed but this band name really stuck out...

 

Come on now, Rick. They've already got Genesis.

I much preferred Asylum to City. Could just be my shit sense of direction but I was awful at finding my way around in City and much preferred the more contained feeling of Asylum. 

 

I never felt like the controls translated well to a more open space.

Good to see you've been keeping up with the thread.

I think the internet's reaction to either of them being announced as headliner would be predictably negative.

 

In clubs, at least, BMTH get a way better response than Bullet.

Surely Bring Me The Horizon are the big British metal band at the moment? I'm not saying they're Download headliner level but their last album was great and they've got a much bigger following, that I've seen.
