I spent some time in India with my then-fiancee. Wrestling is INSANE over there, they can't get enough of it. Where I was, in Bangalore, the only thing bigger than it was cricket.

Ospreay won't be working for PCW anytime soon I imagine, after Fludder put him on blast on Facebook for trying to renegotiate his fee. 

That surprises me. The one thing I really enjoyed about working with fludder was that he never quibbled over money at all, the only thing he asked was that I didn't charge him more than I asked others in the area for, which seemed fair enough to me.

You'll find that most doctors will, in fact, do that. My asthma check-up, while prescribing me various strengths of things to keep my breathing under control, also ends in me being advised to lose weight, and being given advice on the best way to do that when exercise triggers my inability to breathe. They can't force you to do it though.

I just heard about this wrestling concept album.

Anybody listened to it? Contains classics like "The Legend of Chavo Guerrero".

John Darnielle is one of my favourite human beings, and that album is fantastic. One of his best (although probably not as good as his previous two, which were phenomenal).

Give Superior Spider-Man a run. It's finished now, and isn't too far off the current Spidey timeline, and it's fucking brilliant from start to finish.

No thanks. I'm all done with grim & gritty reboots of stuff I used to love. I want my Power Rangers brightly-coloured and cheesy as fuck please.

Spent the past weekend sharing a bed with two lasses I was working an event with, and working some stuff out in my head. I'm the kind of person who jumps from relationship to relationship, but never really maintains them that well. I really like having emotional and physical intimacy, but without the constraints of being in a monogamous relationship and without the need for sex. Still trying to figure out the best way to go on with this, probably either some kind of polyamory or just a series of close friendships most like.

Also, you're six weeks into a relationship. That's not a foundation for deciding someone is your soulmate; you're still just in that stage of getting to know them.

It's tempting to take the rush of excitement and new relationship energy and decide this is the most important thing in the world but that's not how you create something genuinely lasting. It's taken me a long time to realise that, but it's how I managed to go from jumping between relationships every time that energy died to being able to create a real emotional bond with another human being.

Normally Ian would be a no-brainer for me, but Linus' reviews have got me into watching both NXT and Lucha Underground, which have been my greatest wrestling loves of 2014, so had to go for him.

That is one of the best wrestling shows I've seen in years. Watching it at a LAN in Stratford and ended up with several lapsed fans crowded around my screen for the main event.

Expected Owens to interfere before the match ended, so was shocked when he turned right at the end. Legit lost my mind.

Currently at a LAN where Netflix & WWE Network are blocked. Any other decent way to watch this before I get home?

It does? I thought it was all filmed at Full Sail?

Signed to NXT in May, released in August according to Wikipedia. Never heard of him tbh.

Currently getting an error message when it redirects me to PayPal. It succeeded once, and then gave me an error message after redirecting me back so I'm gonna leave it for the night and try again tomorrow. Would PM Pitcos this, but his inbox is full.

Still haven't had an email from them, despite Pitcos doing it yesterday. Little bit depressing.

PM'd (I think, forums have been a bit wonky).

Just had a "get up to $250 by referring friends to WWE network" email off WWE. $25 gift card for every friend that signs up, with a maximum of ten. They're getting creative with their attempts to up the memberships.

I was thinking about getting it, want to PM me the link or referral code or whatever? May as well get you some cash out of it.

Isn't it just free for a week then after that you have to pay for it.

The one I'm using is called 'Hola Better Internet' and I've been using it for a month without paying. My girlfriend's been using it since we got Netflix without problems. She set it up on my pc though, so I don't know the specifics.

Still using Hola Unblocker to watch US Netflix for free in Chrome, so just get yourself that.

I was always told three taps in short succession is the sign for submitting.

I love Moffat's writing for Sherlock, but it hasn't suited Doctor Who at all. I feel like he's been very lucky to have Matt Smith who is capable of taking what is often jumbled writing with very little sense of consequence and making it gripping just through his own acting ability. I've enjoyed the run, almost entirely for Matt Smith, and I loved Capaldi's opening line but I would very much like it if Moffat would bugger off now and someone different had a crack at it.

How did you think he'd look? The guy's been fucked up for years, you don't just magically un-age after you get clean.

I love it, but it's a Whedon show. It's the same as all of his output (Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Dollhouse). Everything's a little bit camp, plenty of witty one-liners being thrown around and the occasional serious moment thrown in. If you're not a fan of Whedon's shows you won't enjoy this, but if you're a Whedon fanboy like me then you'll love it.

All on the lass in the middle from the looks of it.
