Reigns / Lesnar again. God that doesn't get me enthusiastic at all. World Of Sport is returning to ITV on Saturday evening for a ten part series. It's being produced by Impact Wrestling's Jeff Jarrett. Really hope it's successful. LU under the AAA umbrella shows it can be done. There's so much British talent at the moment it's impossible for WWE to hoover it all up. I imagine with his Impact return that Magnus will be the focus of the shows.

I'm tempted to put up a 'kitchens for sale' thread and just put a link to this forum.

Scott Dann picked the wrong season to lose all confidence.

Roman Reigns beating Undertaker may be the best thing to happen in the long run. The fans would be livid and that would run in to the Lesnar/Goldberg four minute match. A crowd booing the biggest two WrestleMania matches may be enough to make the decision makers recognise that people don't like the part timers being the focus of attention at the biggest and being felt like we would have to eventually accept Roman Reigns as the face of the company. It's the only way I can see change happening. They're not going to care if they keep breaking record figures every year. It will be there justification to bring back historic faces to hold back the present talent next year. The company looked to be getting it right after the last two WrestleMania's with Rollins winning the title and Shane ushering in a new era. They've got both of them wrong in the long run and I can't see anything changing unless something drastic happens at WrestleMania. Vince McMahon is becoming Awsene Wenger.

I wouldn't say they were divas. It was a team made up of individuals that completely neglected the type of players you need to make up a team. Michael Carrick or Paul Scholes would have made a massive difference.

Are Danny Rose and Andy Carroll injured? Surprised we've gone for nine defenders and Theo Walcott has been left out but other than that I don't mind this squad. Given Jack Wilshire fails to start every game for Bournemouth it would have been a pisstake on others if he made the side. It's no really Southgate's fault we're so light up front but i'm happy we've put a clinical finisher in Jermaine Defoe back in the squad. We shouldn't struggle against Lithuania but i'd fancy him to score if he had twenty minutes and we were pressing heavily.

Just realised I haven't posted a picture of myself in about two years. So here's some stereotypical tourist photos of me in Ireland at the beginning of the month: And here was me at the football museum a couple of months back: Contrary to what these photo suggest I did not attend these places by myself.

Some big news outside of WWE World as we step back out of 2004 and in to 2017... - Theres a court dispute between who owns Matt Hardy's persona between The Hardy Boyz and Impact. This led to a pretty brilliant Twitter rant from Matt's wife which ended with the tweet "and fuck that owl" You can see why TNA want to claim copyright of something that has been brilliant but if Matt has been the sole creator behind his best gimmick it's a pretty dick move. - He's finally done it. Christopher Daniels has won a major world championship. The greatest wrestler of the last three decades that is yet to wrestle in WWE and has put on several five star matches in his career with AJ, Joe, Kazarian etc finally gets the major gold in the company. Good for him. I thought they were heading that way when they split him and Kazarian up via The bullet club but didn't see it ending this quick.

Whilst we're going through an inevitable period of uncertainty at the moment I wouldn't say there's any need to feel that disheartened at present.

Since living on my own I have enjoyed cooking a lot more than I expected. I often just plough through cook books. At the moment I'm on the third Joe Wicks book. As I'm allergic to nuts I'm having to miss out on a lot of the interesting stuff (why does all the healthy crispy chicken recipes have to be made with almonds) but it's definitely been an interesting and enjoyable learning curve.

Doctor Strange - 7/10 Its watchable but not really my sort of thing.

Let's just take a moment to appreciate how mad Weird World must have been when we voted to leave The European Union once he remembered a reason Scottish people voted against independence was because of the EU trade deals. He would take that as England personally fucking with him.

Can't really disagree with any of that. They had such a good thing going after Wrestle Mania last year when Sami Zayn and The Club debuted. Then you had AJ Styles going after the title and Shane drumming up the new era stuff. It's just sad that since the end of last year they've killed it with an obsession over the past (again).
-
This thread's dead. Just like our hopes of England ever doing anything in our lifetimes.

Have last years FA Cup runners up been added? I thought I mentioned it yesterday.
-
They've signed with Ring Of Honor and are having a pretty big feud with The Young Bucks who are being billed as the next Hardy Boyz themselves. I imagine there contracts will run for at least six months.

I had good flights with Ryanair. Sure they look a little tacky but for the sake of an hours flight it's not really something I cared about.

Completely agree with this. In victory Bellew must feel annoyed that he couldn't put Haye away given the injury. Talksport have really tried to drum up the 'family man' image that 'represents the people' to a point where you would think that before this fight he was on benefits struggling to pay off his heating bill. Yeah credit where it's due for that. At first I thought he was going to tire himself out but he managed to maintain that pace longer than I expected.

I've had to skip most of these posts momentarily because i'm watching Fastlane now. Seems very predictable at the moment. Much more of a fan of The Blue Brand myself. Some of what's gone on in the last week has been mad. Ring Of Honor have knocked it out the park. The Hardy Boyz turning up and winning The Tag Team Titles off The Young Bucks and then Bully Ray debuting and putting Adam Cole through a table. I hope that doesn't effect the possibility of Christopher Daniels becoming World Champion if Adam Cole goes WWE but there roster looks a lot stronger with the wealth of experience added. Impact Wrestling have been doing promos for Chris Masters and Matt Morgan returning to the company. Konnan has returned too with a new version of LAX which contains Homicide. Nick Aldis is likely to return too.

Went to Dublin last weekend to celebrate over a year with my Girlfriend. If you are thinking of going to Dublin I do recommend staying in the hotel we stayed in called The Clarence Hotel. It's very spacious, fair priced, it backs on to Temple Bar, they've got a great bar and restaurant, and to top it off it's owned by U2 and they're known to regularly frequent the bar when in The City. Drinking & Nightlife Temple Bar is everything you'd want from a drinking street in Ireland. Pubs and Restaurants everywhere. Everybody is overly friendly. Drinking is expensive. Even for someone that lives in London I thought the drinking was expensive. You're looking at on average around six euros ninety for a pint of Guiness. If you go with a female tell her spirits are a no no. They charge you for the vodka and then the drink so they can cost more than nine euros. Despite being a Rugby location watching any sporting event was easy as they're not bounded by the shitty UK laws. Every other pub had the football and the boxing on when it was Saturday. Tourism The Guiness Tour was as good as you'd expect. Was pretty surprised you could only have one Guiness with your voucher so you had to choose between pouring your own pint or getting a drink in The Gravity Bar. But they made the tour as good as they possibly could make it. We also visited Trinity College, The Goal, and the shopping centre whilst we were there. Trinity College felt a bit expensive just to effectively look at a scroll but the Victorian Goal was a great visit even if it was a decent walk away from the Temple Bar Street. If you're going away as a couple for more than three days I do recommend the coach tour around Wicklow Mountains. It took a whole day but that was definitely the highlight from the tourism perspective. I'd definitely recommend going. I'm not really one for sightseeing or walking but Dublin was a great experience full of interesting people and places which made it an enjoyable experience. Just remember what I said about the spirits.

Everton fans are the worst when it comes to Tony Bellew. There has to be a rematch. David Haye has gained a lot of respect for carrying on and Tony Bellew will be pissed he couldn't end it. Neither boxer will feel anything is settled after that.

Watched since the start of the season two. The mid season break is a ballache but I like how everybody is almost even because of the exposure they all get given. The ladder match between Killshot and Marty Martinez was an unexpected classic.
