  1. As Greylien states above the stakes are so high in this day and age we’re talking about astronomic sums of money and as it stands this enthralling Premier League title race could come down to some tight rack of the eye offside desicion and that would be a dreadful way for it to end. The Premier League however have probably gone about it the correct way allowing the other European leagues sort of iron out the issues before they really implement it. The drama at the Etihad the other night was fantastic tv and thanks to the technology at the stadium it wasn’t really that confusing for fans who were attending the game. But if you happen to be at a stadium that maybe isn’t quite as luxurious then it can maybe a issue, and it’s really important that you don’t confuse the fans who are in the ground.
  2. AJ is the sort of guy who will always be nursing some sort of injury Heading into his last Wrestle Kingdom where he also wrestled Nakamura there was real concern that he wouldn't make the match due to his constant back niggles. In the end he was fine, put on a 4 and half star match and made his WWE debut less than a month later.
  3. Not sure I've got time for all the Rumbles in the next couple of weeks but did watch 1990 the other afternoon. Going to make sure that I watch Rumble 1997 over the weekend though given the venue of this years event.
  4. Next years Royal Rumble will be at the Alamodome in San Antonio 20 years since it was held there last with a gate of 60,000+ Must be confident of being able to shift a lot of tickets for this one.
  5. Looking forward to hearing this at the Barclays Center this weekend. Very good chance the whole arena could break out into song.
  6. Not only is Roodes NXT theme a great Wrestling theme. But its also a great piece of music to start your day to. Its also a gtret piece of music to go to the gym with. its also great piece of music to listen to post sex. its also a great piece of music to listen to once youve just split up with your boyfriend/girlfriend with. I'd go as far to say there is no task no big or small that this piece of music doesn't go with. I want it played at my funeral!!
  7. Yeah I'd also put the 2 Netflix Marvel Shows that we've had so far ahead of this. Gotham does a lot right but it's let down by shoddy writing and could be probably do with being cut from its 20+ episode runs down to something more manageable.
  8. Found the 1st half of season 2 really really good. But felt it tapered off after the mid season break. It's probably one of the weaker "comic book" shows though.
  9. Saw this yesterday and I'm probably going to take it in again over the weekend, not because I loved it but I need to try and get my head round everything. However I don't think this a film that deserving of the reviews that it's getting. It's not a brilliant film by any stretch of the imagination but it's not the turd that many reviewers are making it out to be. In fact I left the theatre seriously pumped for Wonder Woman next year. But for a film that's been in post for well over a year now the editing of this film is a abusmal and about half the way in it was seriously pissing me off. The 2nd half was much better with the Batman/Superman showdown being particularly brutal, even if the climax to it is just plain bizarre. The comparisons being given to the Will Ferrell film Step Brothers are totally just. Infact it's a line that Batman delivers a few scenes later about his relationship with Superman that had me laughing it was so utterly bizarre considering the battle that occurred just minutes beforehand. Affleck must of felt a proper dummy delivering it. Affleck, Cavill, Gadot and Adams are all fine in this. Eisenbergs Luthor is ok but is written really badly. We know and see Batmans motivation but we don't with Luthor and considering a good chunk of the film is based around him then it in turn damages the film as a whole. Like I said I'll see it again and I'll pick up the Directors cut when it's released in July I pray to god this goes someway to fix the editing of the first half but I do fear what we got was a compromise and we'll end up with something even worse.
  10. The Rousey interview on Ellen was a tough watch. Says she contemplated suicide in Melbourne after the Holm defeat. Knowing her families past I doubt she would say this in a trivial way. She'll want another crack on Holm no doubt but got the feeling she could easily go one more and then out.
  11. I don't mind the JBL interviews but the Russo bashing is getting tiresome. It's not coming from the guys being interviewed it's coming from Layfield, from the previews of the upcoming interviews we're in for some more too!
  12. Nia Jax is though. She was even in a pretty horrific car accident with Rocks mother a couple of years back.
  13. Yeah it's sort of been referenced before but this was the first bona-fide name check. It was just to enable JBL to slag Russo off some more though. I thought JBL came across better in the Bischoff interviews. There was a tad of snardyness in this one. I binged on Breaking Ground last week. See Baron Corbin and Dana Brooke in a completely different light now.
  14. While you're a massive spoiler fan please appreciate that others may not be.
  15. Im going on Tuesday post my final 12 hour night shift of 2015. Both sets of trilogy's thus far have had iffy dialogue both Alec Guiness and Harrison Ford went on record saying as much about the first trilogy. But what it had going for it was that you actually give a damn about the characters. As has already been said the Red Letter Media film pretty much gets The Phantom Menace spot on. Trade Negotians in a kids film, Darth Maul relegated to 10 minutes of screen time. Complete lack of a protagonist. The chunky dialogue is there for sure, but it's something that could of been worked round. Liam Neeson took a hiatus after this film but while Portman featured in the rest of the trilogy her career didn't really rebound until Black Swan. Hayden Christensen is still sort of around I think, while Jake Lloyd is a mess these days. You just don't care about who these people are! It hits home where the RLM film asks people to describe several characters from the original trilogy and then the prequel trilogy. The talking heads are full of adjectives for the likes of Han Solo and Princess Leia but when it comes to Queen Amidala they just laugh and say "hey I see what you've done here". Ewan McGregor has sort of come away relatively unscathed but he had to go and ride his bike round the globe to get over the trauma of it all... There has been talk within the fandom of McGregor reprising the role for one of the Anthology films and it's been generally met with approval. Maybe vindication that the work he did on those films is held in pretty good regard. I for one wouldn't complain if that came to pass. I'm none to plussed about the scrapping of the Extended universe. I read one Darth Vader novel post ROTS and played the original Force Unleashed. I also played the original Knights of the Old Republic games which were really really good. But they were set like 2000 years before TPM so didn't really have much relevance.
  16. I finished this the other night and for the most part really enjoyed it. Kilgrave is up their with Fisk and Loki as the best Marvel on screen villains. Tennant plays him almost as a villainous 10th Doctor there are many mannerisms that almost seem lifted from Doctor Who but with that villainous twist. Ritter does a great job as Jones although i would of preferred it is she was a little more fleshed out. Shes a Alcoholic as well as a PI but both of these things are only just touched on. I also thought there was a bit too much filler. It could of easily been trimmed down to 10 episodes. I appreciate that Hogarth may have a bigger role going forward in the Netflix shows but her divorce subplot was just plain dull. The whole thing with Jessicas accident, IGH and Simpsons seemingly bizarre heel turn resulting from his super soldier program really felt as filler and they almost acknowledge that its as much with Jessica casually brushing it off. Also having Claire Temple just pop up in the final episode felt forced almost as if it was a last minute decision to include her. But yeah it does alot of things right, bringing up subjects such as abusive behavior and rape, as well as the whole tone of the show really. I really like the show but for me it never quite reaches the heights that Daredevil did earlier this year.
  17. Nathan Jones also pops up which I think is the first time I've seen him since Troy. Immortan Joe being played by the bloke who played Toecutter is a good know towards the Gibson films. I don't want to say original trilogy as I think this is just a continuation of the Mad Max mythology. But yeah this is a great film where I found myself gripping the arm rests at times as it was so unrelenting.
  18. Final scene episode 2, enjoy it! Definetly not one for your kids.
  19. Literally just watching the 1st episode. Best opening titles ive seen in a long time. Already a darker tone than anything we've seen before in the Marvel universe but let's you know that it's very much part of that universe.
  20. Hope they do a movie tie in with Batman v Superman next year. Then build it around Undertaker v Cena.
  21. I'm completely buzzing after that show, how on earth they pulled that out of the hat I'll never know. Best Wrestlemania since 19 easily! I had no interest in this main event going into it, but was so so so invested in it by the time Rollins hit.
  22. Oh god, yeah Jay that got me too. Ruined both Cena/Rusev and the main event for me.
  23. Vince is holding a conference call about the network, the morning after Mania. It'll be avaliable via WWEcoperate I'm currently on the fence about whether to cancel it after Wrestlemania, the whole non commitment thing is handy as i can alternate subscriptions between this and say Netflix. As much as I enjoy NXT I can take it and leave it when i can invest myself in some quality drama on another VOD service.
  24. I picked up Formula 1 2014 for £20 yesterday. the last version of the game i had was 2010 so there is more than enougth to warrant me picking it up. Started a season with Marussia and came 21st out of 22 in my first race in Australia. While on paper it looks pretty poor I'm more than happy with that on my debut, going to attempt Malaysia and Bahrain later today. I'll post updates as i go along.
  25. I'm pretty sure that the Olly Murrs concert will of finished before the probable 4am UK bell time for this fight. Hope you enjoy the concert though Ciaran the King.
