The Ian Rotten news is brilliant for me. Bar WWF from 1999-2001, IWA Mid South from 2004-2006 is my favourite wrestling ever. His detractors can say all they want but Ian sure knows how to put on a brilliant wrestling show. I'd go so far as to say that the 2004 TPI is my favourite wrestling card of all time (cheating I know because it's technically two cards). Now I haven't had the chance to check out the new Mid South shows yet but I'm sure there'll be plenty more good stuff to be had from IWA. Just as long as there's another KOTDM, I've always preferred them over Tournament of Death.

It was a terrible gag relating to him now having a face akin to that of a baby (hairless.) Nothing more. Sure hope this isn't a permanent thing. That won't look good on telly. I thought it was worth sharing anyway because he looks so un-Sheamus like.

Someone has a new look. He looks awful, big mistake. Though I guess this must be him going babyface.

Is this Peter B Beautiful the same Peter B Beautiful who got an absolute an utter mauling at the hands of Ian at the 2001 KOTDM? Surprised he was invited back to an IWA card. Shoot or not, the original was a brilliant deathmatch squash.

20. Piss easy for me.

Lines of the night had to be either Michael Cole's "Choose whichever one of your jobs gets their son back" or Jerry Lawler's "....I thought we were watching Ryback Mountain for a minute".

I'm going to admit I completely bought into Punk fucking his leg when he jumped the guardrail. Everyone's reactions were absolutely brilliant in that segment. I was convinced he was hurt and I popped big time when he grabbed the kendo stick and leathered Heyman.

I was disappointed that Brie's next in line for a divas title shot. Given Natalya's previous involvement I was really hoping that she'd get the chance next.

I wasn't too keen on Los Matadores but that's because generally speaking I don't like the more kiddy cartoonish gimmicks like that but it's way too early to pass judgement and the wee bull fella is undoubtedly amazing.

Cesaro's giant swing is a thing of beauty isn't it? Great to watch, that man must be as strong as an ox. The nonsensical finish just after the move put a bit of a dampener on it though.

The end segment with Bryan and Orton was pretty good although I will admit I was urging Orton to hit Brie with an RKO. Overall despite it being an enjoyable enough show, next week just feels way too early for it to be the next PPV.

My Trevor has been given a massive Charles Manson-esque beard. I can't imagine him any other way.

Currently my favourite thing to do is hijack a bus full of passengers and pretend I'm Davie the bus driver from that episode of Still Game.

I found the plane mission easy enough. I failed it the first couple of tries but that's because I couldn't actually work out where the airstrip was and so ended up trying to land in fields or on the road. Once I'd seen where it actually was it was fine.

Just walked down to the local Tesco garage and picked up a copy for a respectable

Get on Evil Dead 2 right now Richie. You'll absolutely love it.

I'd just like to add another piece of art depicting sleep paralysis of either Japanese or Korean origin. I forget which. It's a wonderful piece of work - although I've never suffered from sleep paralysis it's a fascinating phenomenon which I'd like to experience just once. I'm sure I'd think far differently if I ever actually experience it however! Terrifying but fascinating is how I imagine it anyway. Like demons breaking through the barriers into this world.

Chris Jericho does an impression of Ron Simmons that is so good that it makes the whole production team burst out laughing.

As a massive Ted fan I enjoyed this one.

I would be if the end result wasn't that I owned a Bolt Thrower shirt! I didn't earn it by queuing for an hour at a festival merch stall which is generally the only means of getting one but it feels good damnit. And it only cost me a couple of cans of carlsberg too!

My favourite is Those Once Loyal. It's so good that they've said they won't be releasing any other albums because they simply can't top it which I think is a pretty damn commendable thing to do.

I'll second you. Pretty much everything about Bolt Thrower is wonderful. They're phenomenal live. Actually sounds like the audial equivalent of a line of tanks charging across the concert arena crushing all in their path.

That is pretty amazing.

It was an absolute fucking riot. I love ICW. Always a great atmosphere and a brilliant night out. The fact it's adult orientated helps tremendously over most other Scottish indy shows. Sabu was actually saying it reminded him of the old ECW which I'm sure to Dallas and co was an absolutely massive compliment.

I really need to start watching more television. I've only ever seen three of the entire list so far.

Went to ICW's biggest show to date last night which was as fantastic as always. Went out afterwards. You don't generally expect to bump into this dude at your local rock club.

Needs more metal for me. I loved Vice City where you could be driving around to Slayer, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and others. More of that please. Bit dissappointed by that list because I legit know only 2 songs from it but I'll still be buying the game of course.

They were silly separating him and Aksana so quickly. Those two worked well together and the five languages thing pretty entertaining.

Art Donovan died yesterday. Anyone who's seen the 1994 King of the Ring will remember his hilariously inept performance as guest commentator who used such phrases as "Wow how does much does this guy weigh!?" upon the appearance of a new wrestler.

Episode of 'Colt and Grado'

 

That was brilliant! Hilarious stuff.
