I genuinely cannot believe what WWE have done tonight. That's me done with Smackdown.

I've never used it but the big reliable one everybody talks about is www.allwrestling.live

Watched the end of Travellers earlier today. Must say after a very good first series, and a very good end to the second series, I found the way they ended it all as very underwhelming. There wasnt really anything clever about it and it felt like a lot of the story became a waste of time. If you want to watch a Netflix series, go for Ozark.

I felt it was like your standard BBC series. When you break it down, a lot of the scenes were just filler scenes with no purpose and the ending was a draped.

It's been a running joke since about 2015 amongst my friends that The Bella Twins would get in to the Hall Of Fame before The Undertaker, Brian Pillman, The Rock, British Bulldog etc I'm not even remotely surprised that it's happening.

This isn't even funny any more.

Of all the series I have watched in the last couple of months... Jack Ryan is a must watch. Power is good if you have the time to power through it Ozark is very good. Well worth catching up before season three. Friday Night Dinner as a comedy gets better. Enjoyed the first season of Travellers. I'd avoid The Stranger, You, The Messiah and The OA. All showed promise at points but overall was left underwhelmed.

They bought in Jeff Cobb this week. They're heavily linked with Archer, Cage and Harper. That's a lot of big meat potentially heading to Jacksonville.

FC Brentfjord - Official Premier League Topic

On a side note. I didnt recognise that Brentford got Baptiste and Fosu- Henry from Oxford. Fosu-Henry is an interesting case. Never really understood why Charlton didnt keep him. Something must have gone on there as he always looked like one of their better players in the highlight shows. Baptiste looks like he could be some player. Hes got a battle on his hands to become a first team regular but once he emerges I reckon he could be a future PL regular. One day we will build to the future with players like this. -

He was linked to Brentford. We tried to work something out with Ollie Watkins and him but Brentford rejected our advances. We ended up sending him to Trabszonspor on loan with a buy clause around €6 million. Hes being linked with clubs now for €15 million so Trabszonspor are likely to buy him and sell him on for a profit immediately. The biggest kick in the teeth is we paid £12 million for him. -

Turns out that Matthew Benham's Xg philosophy with Sorloth is absolutely spot on. Not remotely surprised. He was twice the player against Chelsea and Spurs than he was a year a later against Grimsby. Apparently Genk have a six million buy clause and Monaco have a fifthteen million offer on the table. Sorloth was asked about Crystal Palace and he said "I don't care what Roy Hodsgon thinks of me". Speaks volumes really. -
I think Haaland's place of birth has been mentioned at least 5000 times since FM19.

X-Pac Heat is basically 'Go Away Heat'. Triple H had it in Evolution when he was Champion forever, John Cena had it almost a decade, JBL had it when he first became a Champion, Roman Reigns had it until he was diagnosed with leukaemia, Baron Corbin has had it most his career. When I see people going on about how MJF is a far better heel than Baron Corbin and Baron Corbin should just go away, they're missing the point. That's exactly what WWE want them to think. WWE get that no matter how heavy people boo now, these people will be looked back fondly in 10+ years from now. People on Twitter have started going on about how great 2009, 2010 etc was and how much better those days were. I just sit there remembering what the internet was like back then and how everybody thought WWE sucked. I will say only WWE can get away with it in America given how established they are. AEW seem to be trying it with Brandi Rhodes and I dont think they're in a position to do so.

I thought the Rumble was well written with Brock Lesnar. Every elimination had a purpose and he sold The Claymore Kick. I didnt think they'd pull the trigger on Drew but I'm glad they have. Charlotte winning wasnt ideal but I'm prepared to be patient and see how they progress this. Winning the Rumble gives her more heat. X-Pac Heat has pretty much been considered a good thing since, well, X-Pac.

So an update on this graph: Two players under 28 have gone. Roy Hodgson wanted 4 or 5 more players. We have been left with one player less. We need a new owner fast. I'm surprised Roy is putting up with this. 20 out of the 24 Chanpionship clubs have spent more than us in the last four transfer windows.

The Gentlemen 9.5/10 If you like Snatch, Lock Stock etc you'll really like this. Set in modern Britain. It's got a good story balanced with very good acting and good humour. The year has started very strong with this and 1917.

A creative, adventurous attacking midfielder. We'll knock that out of him.

Marty Scurll staying with ROH on WWE wages as the head booker His popularity could go a long way to restoring their popularity.

Tessa Blanchard.

Impact went ahead and put the title on Tessa. How very TNA of them.

I thought everybody knew she was an arse? Either way, that tweet was terrible timing given she must have known she would get heat for it.

I hope there's some truth to the NJPW American company if they're not going to collaborate with ROH or AEW long term. Always enjoyed Osprey, Sabre, GOD etc in ROH and if we can see them with appearances from the likes of Tanahashi and Okada then happy days. You didn't miss anything from what I remember. I enjoyed the Jericho/Jungle Boy show as they put talent over and there was a lot of decent matches, but the majority of the internet absolutely slated it. There was a sketch where somebody noticed blatant fake punches that was blown all out of proportions. ---- On a side I called BT Sports to see what they could do with my package. As a loyal customer of 6+ years they sorted me BT Sports, multi room, BT app and Entertainment HD whilst reducing my monthly payments. Probably the best customer service I've ever had. AEW really need to sort out this deal with ITV they have. It could have been absolutely massive for them, but showing it on a Friday evening must cost them so much viewers. By that time everyone has just streamed it. Despite my initial scepticism BT Sports are absolutely owning it with there WWE coverage.

Given the vague links with MLW I'm surprised AEW haven't made a ploy to get The New Era Hart Foundation. I'm presuming they haven't because they're not exactly the quiet types on social media. The marketability factor is pretty much there. I wasnt aware of John Morrison being on BTE but to be honest I'm quite happy to see him back in WWE. I'd quite like to see Matt Sydal back at some point too.

I get why they went for a commentary team of Tony Schiavonne and Jim Ross as it adds a legitimate, authentic feel to the new broadcast given one was the voice of TNT and the other was the voice of the competitor. But I really hope over time they look to fade them out. Schiavonne on the whole has done a good job but last week JR didnt know the name of about three or four of the wrestlers and had to be assisted. That is poor research and does nothing to help grow those characters. Excalibur is doing a good job given his modern day knowledge but they could, you know, explain why he wears a mask and not pretend it's completely normal. Goldenboy would be my choice long term to be JR's replacement given how natural he performed at the PPV he commentated. I think Marty Scrull will end up in AEW eventually given all the hints they have dropped on BTE. If he does go over there, I hope it's under The Villian Enterprise faction as hes done a very good job at increasing their marketability within the last twelve months. Albeit they do need to cut down on some of the "Oooo scary" groups at the minute. I like Pepper Parks but signing him when you've already got The Dark Order just seems pointless. I'm not even going to mention whatever is going on with Brandi Rhodes. Other than Marty Scrull I think there recruitment for the next year needs to be your heavyweights that can move like Jeff Cobb, Brian Cage, Brodie Lee etc. All the new talent they're promoting well (Jungle Boy, Darby Allan, Kip Sabian, Sammy Guevara etc) all have one thing in common. Half the audience look like they can beat them up.
