    If you use Chrome, try using Hola. I use it for US Netflix and it's a godsend. And it's free.

    Without wanting to sound too much like an expert of dodging debt companies, this is what I know: Some companies with contracts like these will chase you up. Some will not. Adobe, for example, have never chased me after I've broken their 12 month deal. A couple of times, in fact. And I always end up going back, so it works well for both of us. Some, such as phone companies, will chase you for as little as a penny. I had a phone company (who I am actually back with as they've been quite good to me lately) chase me for 3p before they finally gave up. Also, if you hold out long enough, many will offer discounts. I paid a fair few off through waiting until I could afford something, at which point I usually got a substantial discount (often 40%) to pay now and write it off completely. However, some will chase you to the ends of the earth to make sure that you pay up. WWE I imagine wouldn't be that kind. The only real companies I've known to be dicks are gyms. If you miss a direct debit, they're on your ass within hours.

    I wouldn't be shocked to see the numbers hit 500,000+ by the time Wrestlemania has been and gone. For a months worth of launch, that's a great number, international or not. You're looking at around £2-3m profit (if not even more, once the production of the live shows and the payments to Apple TV and co all go out) per month, which is around £24/36m per year. Hit a million, double your profit, jobs a good'un!
  4. Also, I've always been told that anything that is not pure water is not to be counted towards your daily total of water. Diluted or not.
  5. Bruce Springsteen's High Hopes is pretty damn good. Tom Morello is on it and makes The Ghost of Tom Joad something even more amazing than it's ever been. New Foo Fighters is coming too, which I welcome since Wasting Light was the best FF album since The Colour & The Shape.
  6. If they're thinking Cena v Wyatt (which is a crap main event but perfectly fine as a match), why not make it 3-on-2 with Cena and Hogan vs. the Wyatts? It might bury the Wyatt family a bit, unless they book it for Bray to get a lot of offense and then not take the fall, but Cena can carry the bulk and Hogan can get the big pop and work as limited as possible. Tag in, big pop, big spot, pinfall and pose. Shove that in as the headliner match of hour 2 and then bring the crowd down before Taker/Brock main events.
  7. Literally nobody is looking forward to anything TNA does, except for putting a bullet in its own neck. I'm sure it'll be a fun show, but tree - forest - sound.
  8. No word of a lie, I would buy that and wear it every day.
  9. I'll stick with the Blackhawks. I'm sure Michael Cole likes them, if I recall the JBL and Cole podcast correctly, which could be good or bad. But they seem good enough for me to get into. My only memory of the NHL is owning NHLPA '93 on the Sega Mega Drive. I think I played as LA a lot, but Philadelphia rings a lot of bells too. Beyond that, I have nothing.
  10. There's another guy who can go on this list, by the way: The Original Sheik. Had a huge influence on hardcore wrestling and was a key figure for people like Sabu, RVD, Bobby Heenan and Jerry Lawler.
  11. Don't forget the black wrestlers too. Junkyard Dog and Ernie Ladd were a huge part of more black wrestlers getting into pro wrestling and being taken seriously.
  12. I think it's more that a LOT has been made of Sting always turning down the chances of working for Vince, especially during the peak periods and even after WCW died. Again though, it doesn't change that it 99% will happen.
