I honestly think that the 'wearing the gear' bit is probably the most important bit. Balor Club t shirts are going to go through the roof, and just wait till he joins up with the club! There was a reason why those boys were brought back from Japan.

All black inflatable dancing men would be fucking sick.

Last night was the night. I have come to terms with Roman. He keeps having good matches. I think I might even like him. That wellness policy violation could be the best thing that ever happened to him.

You could certainly run with that, but eventually the winner of the tournament has to get a title shot (like in New Japan).

I can't figure out the brand identities. Maybe that will come later. What exactly is that light heavyweight division going to involve?

But I bet Bryan Danielson and Mick Foley have never heard of Samoa Joe, Austin Aries or Shinsuke Nakamura. It's fine.

Hard not to steal and adapt that GQ line about American Beauty for Limp Bizkit:

"Guys, I'm still high as hell from Seth beating Roman clean."

"Ambrose being the crazy, hungover champion takes a lot of pressure off of Roman to be THE Guy while also allowing him to lean into his heel tendencies"

AGH, right in the nostalgia.

What's the wrestling scene like in Holland? Yep - I have the same feelings about Tommy End that I always have when one of the European indie darlings gets called up. Happiness that their hard work has paid off and trepidation that they'll get used right! Do you make it over to the U.K. for any shows? If you're ever…

I applaud your commitment! I have been watching bits and pieces, but every day of the event is a bit much. I am chuffed for Will Ospreay, both for getting to the final and the wider attention his match with Ricochet has garnered. He's back in London on Sunday and I expect he will get a bigger reaction than normal.

This week have Super Junior finals, NXT and Progress' SSS16 - I'll probably give Raw a miss this week.

The answer to the question you are asking is very, very complicated and rooted in a lot of post-war theory. Critical race theory, for example, emerges out of the civil rights movement, post-colonialism, and anti-apartheid politics. I can't see how it is a dogma when virtually every piece of historical and sociological…

I've seen the Frankfurt School thrown around a lot in these discussions, but as someone who has read a decent chunk of that school (particularly Adorno, Horkheimer, Benjamin, Habermas, Marcuse) I simply don't recognise the arguments that seem to get levelled against them. It seems to me that some youtube videos and…

A single pringle, the sick fuck.

It's all the sadder when you think about all the great food and confectionery mascots they didn't dress like. Who wouldn't want to go as the Honey Monster dressed in a Newcastle shirt with a little Kevin Keegan puppet. [I don't care if this is an American site. Likes be damned. I regret nothing]

Audrey Hepburn sells chocolate in the UK, getting Katharine Hepburn for the movies must be easy.

If you sign the Bullet Club, you've got to run with the Bullet Club, right? Bullet Club is where merch sales will be and the most interesting set of matches will be. There's a built in year of high end feuds (when you eventually bring Balor up), with loads of options for B PPVs with the Wyatts, Nakamura or even New…

2009 was MY best year!
