Remembering playing the demo to death. Still got my Saturn and haunt eBay and stores to try and grab a copy but it's always so expensive

Freshly Timeless

Aye we got tickets when they first dropped!

I live in Manchester so this is the first show on my doorstep. Had to travel to Glasgow and London for the last few. Hopefully the Manchester crowd lives up to Cardiff!

Honestly if you can afford one of those things you can afford the beat down

It's complete self-destruction. They'll never be right wing enough for the Reform voters they are targeting and they've totally alienated anyone with a moral compass. It's like they took the Tories shit show as a blueprint and not a warning

They should make an oven with like a webcam inside so I can see how cooked my food is without me having to keep getting up to check

They've not had a match that's not made me go "what the fuck"

This came across really LinkedIn but I really am looking forward to it haha

Can't wait to pour some @northernmonk.bsky.social in Finland this weekend. I'll be representing at our tap takeover at Salama's taproom on Thursday before pouring at CoolHead's beer festival in Helsinki

The madness of that last wicket. I bet Siraj is livid and that's just fantastic

Off work yesterday so watched the absolute wrestling Odyssey that was AEW All In
Everyone in that locker room must have made some kind of pact that they are only going to do the greatest PPV's you've ever seen every time

MJF can work any match, in any style. He's an absolute student and he will do what's best for business. The lad has been squashed by Wardlow in 40 seconds, and he's put on an hour long Danielson clinic. He will do what's required

Good guys Belgium and Spain put up captions stating their views on Israel after #eurovision

Do Sunderland start Mundle in the final? He instantly made Coventry sit back and give us so much more balance. He defended like a champ as well

Daniel Ballard of Sunderland takes off his shirt to celebrate scoring his team's first goal during the Sky Bet Championship Play-Off Semi Final Second Leg match between AFC Sunderland and Coventry City at Stadium of Light on May 13, 2025 in Sunderland, England.

The dream of any AEW event is to conglomerate

Didn't he like run out in a bath towel not that long ago?

I just think if you look at the lineage and the type of wrestlers they book for the Continental, it really has that feel of no gimmicks, just 20 minutes clinics. You can show out different styles but you need wrestling at its core

Continental I do agree you don't want to tread on the Pure too much, in the sense of the three rope breaks, closed fists etc. I think AEW has done a good job in the wrestlers it has had challenge for it, just needs that real distinction outside of the C2

That's very fair. I do think the International title is at its best almost when it's defended in other promotions, I think its weakness is that it's never been dropped abroad. Think it needs those stakes that it can be won or lost in any promotion.

I enjoy the "House Rules" aspect like they did with the trios for the spell, but I feel like the Continental rules have more of a purist element to them? The no seconds at ringside, the longer count outs, feels like it should be almost be like the Pure Title but bigger

Agreed. The C2 has its own rule set as well. No seconds at ring side, think it has a longer count on the outside?
If anything I think making them more distinct is more important than unification. The International title should be defended cross promotionally more

Shortly before he died, Terry Pratchett assured me that, if there is an afterlife, he would give me a ring and let me know. That was ten years ago - and still no call. From which, incidentally, I draw no firm conclusions. What if there was an afterlife, but with no phone signal? But of course there is one place where Terry indisputably lives on: in the pages of his books and in the minds of the millions of readers around the world who turn those pages and continue to find them funny and true. For, while his words live on, so does Terry, and that will be the case, no question, not just for this one decade so quickly gone, but for many further decades to come. So let me join Lyn and Rhianna in raising a glass today to the magical persistence of books and to Sir Terry; gone but still so very firmly with us. Rob Wilkins

Finally watched #AEW Revolution last night. I can't remember a PPV have that many bangers on it. The three matches leading into the main event must be one of the best runs of back to back wrestling matches of all time

Assist unreal. The one touch knock on to take their full back out of the game. Absolute joker

Lad loves it. Runs non stop, and some of his finishing has been absolutely unreal. I just wouldn't have him on penalties because he cares too much, no way he doesn't overthink it haha

That's both class and quite depressing haha

Over on Instagram I’ve been informed by ex-employees of Magic Rock (In Good Company) that they were let go prior to their acquisition by Keystone, and are unable to claim statutory redundancy from the government until MR is place in administration.

The only ending to this feud I'll accept is Christian putting his "Title shot" on the line and losing it to Joe
