  1. They're still dumping on him on the app right now...
  2. Nah, DJ Gabriel is from Berkshire. Justin Gabriel (PJ Black) is South African (but trained at FWA)
  3. We went to Toronto for our honeymoon and I became a bit obsessed with the Toronto Transit Commission. I still fairly regularly stick a video of one of the streetcar routes on. 506 Carlton is my favourite as it was the route that went past the place we stayed: Bonus wrestling content - you know that fuck off massive sign with Hogan's face and part of the WrestleMania logo someone was holding up at Mania VI? Came off the side of a TTC bus that did.
  4. Yeah, the spectacular rise for Jinder was runner up in the battle royal on the pre-show to WWE Champion at the next PPV. Although looking at it with hindsight you could see the spot he was in at Mania 33 as the start of a move to prominence - although he didn't win, he was the one getting pounced by Gronk which obviously was a moment that got a lot of mainstream media coverage.
  5. Based upon this discussion the other week, in our huddle on Friday morning I polled the team I have recently begun managing on their favourite musical artist (giving the caveat of it needing to be someone at least half the room had heard of, which might have skewed the results somewhat). I manage 5 people between 20-25, and 1 bloke closer to 50. All the twentysomethings answered with an act who had (in my opinion) peaked before the fan had turned 4, most of the acts had been active long before that fan had been born. I said Queen (giving the context I gave her that it was considered weird that I was listening to such "old" stuff when I was a kid). The older bloke said Pearl Jam (who just scraped through on the 50% rule on the basis I've got a couple of rock fans in the team)

    But did you complete the peg game?

    Gladiators

    The replacements thing is annoying, but I like Wrestler Wes and I'd like to remind everyone considering rooting against him in the final next week that he's at least won every episode he's competed in, unlike the bloke he's meeting in the final, who lost his quarter. To Wes. Having wussed out of the actual Gladiators bit of Gladiators and tried to rely on the fact that he's effectively a professional assault course completer. (The fact who wins Gladiators comes down to an assault course that doesn't even involve any Gladiators has annoyed me since I was a kid).
  9. Get yourself a Smithwick's while you're there. Glorious stuff.
  10. Yeah, it's another clunky thing about the Continental Crown. What it actually seems to mean is "everybody else barred from ringside", so I don't know why they don't just say that.
  11. I've watched very little actual lucha over the years, save odd bits on TWC back in the day. But I do quite regularly disappear down Wikipedia rabbit holes into that world, tracing through all the Hijos and Jrs and the naming conventions around that, etc. I always enjoy finding out the English translation of lucha names I come across, which tend to either be very cool or bonkers or both. This the makes me wonder if a wrestler being called "Cibernetic Arm" seems as mad to a Mexican as it does to me. I recall a few years back there was a very cool looking coffee table book of photos of lucha masks which I'd have liked to have picked up, but I think it was very expensive.
  12. On family shows he's The SoulTaker. Which is still really good.
  13. International shirts are where central badges thrive, IMO. I bloody love that Norway shirt. And whilst the pattern on the Brazil one isn't to my taste, that CBF logo bang in the middle of the chest is exactly what I think of when I think of a Brazil shirt.
