Daaaaaad!

I haven’t watched RAW this week but all I needed to know about it came from the title of one of their YouTube videos:

”Riddle and Shinsuke Nakamura battle the Usos in a Championship Contenders’ match”

Presumably, it’s time to break out the Garth.

What’s this? I’d not read anything about this anywhere?

Nor had I but there is this:

I don’t want to say the notion of getting tickets for WWE’s Clash at the Castle have dominated my thoughts of late, but I just woke up convinced that the Stereophonics had re-released their album “just enough education to perform” with a bonus CD of 10 tracks they recorded from WWF Forceable Entry.

"Seth Rollins… described… as ‘narcissist going through a midlife crisis'.

Yup, seems about right.

SHAPE Digital

Initially we only got Channel 5 on the front room telly which had a handheld aerial. As such, what we could watch on the channel until we got digital telly was considerably limited for a good while. I seem to recall stand up comedian Tim Vine was the host of the first show, which I don't even remember the name of. Countdown with Richard Whiteley it was not.

They used to have the Scotland games on in the early years, as I recall, commentated on by Jonathan Pearce which messed with my young brain as he sounded so much like the clearly-couldn't-be-the-same-bloke on Robot Wars. I still distinctly remember inviting my friends round to watch Holland vs. Scotland in the Euro 2004 qualifying playoffs, which I was naively and stupidly optimistic about having beaten them 1-0 at Hampden the Saturday before. After the fourth of six goals, we decided to play Britney's Dance Beat instead.

Let's face it though; it was all about the Friday night movies. What a time to be alive.

Just doing a head-count to see how many of you are Palace fans for the FA Cup now we're in with three of the Awful Big Four?

I'm on board, but I want it to be clear that this has nothing to do with the other semi-finalists. This is all about ice-cool Patrick Vieira permanently superseding and erasing the memory of that absolute cunt Alan Pardew doing his shitty practised-in-the-mirror-at-home "spontaneous dance" after Jason Puncheon scored in 2016.

The image of 'The King' sitting at home, gnashing his whitened teeth and blaming all the woke social media culture of today for why he wasn't the one to finally bring the Cup back to Selhurst Park, is too glorious to pass up.

I like The Takeaway purely from a relatible perspective of trying to control two kids while out in the wild trying to do one task. Especially keeping them entertained while waiting, only to fall at the last hurdle. 

It’s definitely my favourite although I think Sleepytime from S2 may have it beat for actual quality. But yeah, I’m so obsessed now that I think even the kids are feeling it’s a little over the top. They’re wrong, naturally.

That's Rob Gronkowski, former WWE 24/7 Champion.

Probably just a surge in demand from wrestling fans desperately believing that reliable scoopster, “sources.”

Well, I'll level with you, it worked on me. Albeit at a rate with free cancellation. I remember from various different football finals during Wembley's closure that Cardiff was notorious for its relatively limited hotel space compared to other venues.

On the Brock thing, I was thinking that if (naturally) it should go ahead, they might plan the Lesnar vs. McIntyre rematch. It seems very WWE to think they could just reheat the same angle and use it to sell tickets. Especially since in their warped logic it's just round the corner from Drew's hometown - if memory serves they referred to Neville as having come from just down the road during a London show one year.

Hotel prices are insane 

This leads me to think it must be true, because I checked a week ago and the prices have doubled since. Someone's got wind of something surely.

Fun to see the talent discover what watching the show is actually like. 

At least Edge has come up with a brand new character. For those who haven't seen, it's absolute genius. Basically, he's wearing a suit and talking down to the people, using an extensive vocabulary to place himself above them. Acting a bit like he's the best in the world at what he does.

I suppose if Jericho could steal Bockwinkel's gimmick thirteen years ago, there's no reason why Edge can't do the same over a decade later.

I was hoping Chelsea would be turned out in blue Sports Direct Sondico kits today 😞

They'll save that for when Mike Ashley picks up his GREAT VALUE football club from the Government in a few weeks.

Fucking Butch. Like he’s a dog. Christ.

Expect to see him and Gunther released within the calendar year.

Have all of you forgotten how long the ramps are for 'Mania? Ain't no way Stone Cold is walking down there with his knees. That ATV is coming out again.

One thing I really like about AEW PPVs is that they're doing different gimmick matches to just the same ones we've seen over and over. For every ridiculous Bonfire sparkler deathmatch we've had, we also get some different stuff like this dog collar match or Stadium Stampede. Makes a change from eleven different names for a No DQ match.

“You see Vince, the name on the contract does say Austin. But not Steve Austin…”

I'm convinced the entire thing came from someone having "Match for Austin?" on a whiteboard in Vince's office and this is why Pat McAfee is wrestling again now.

WrestleMania has been at this stadium before. Heyman basically tried to goad Stone Cold into facing Brock back then. If he wasn't coming back for that, he isn't coming back period. I'd be shocked at how it all got so blown out of proportion if it weren't for the supposed 'sources'.

Or that the one answering the phone wouldn’t Judas them by simply not telling them or saying they had an hour to get ready. 

I think that actually did happen in the first series! Presumably the crew eventually said something.

All children happily playing quietly in the corner with a single simple toy such as a plastic plane, instead of screaming the house down and leaping directly on their dad's genitals.

Is he allowing himself to call Vince by his name yet, or is he still forcing himself to call him "Mr. McMahon" because he lost the right after he went to TNA for a bit?

More Brock gold, naturally, even if it was facilitated by another bloody contract signing.

One thing I am enjoying is that Roman, in contrast to the rest of the year when he’s been doing the “calm, collected champion” act, is seemingly rattled by Brock. Plays well off their past history and brings at least some intrigue to what could just be in essence a third go around at the same 1v1 main event.

That said; want to see the most “modern WWE” graphic ever? Take a look at this:

Based on previous events, I reckon if the show goes over their time then the Crown Prince gets to keep half the roster.

Who should indict him?

I know he’s all about Blue Lives Matter but this would make it a hell or a ceremony.

He probably means fucking Cody.
