This. It's the way with WWE. Can't remember the last time there was a really hyped up match or segment we knew about beforehand and it actually delivered. I think it was WhatCulture that suggested an outcome that the call was to his wife, and that the angle is that his doctor has told him that he can't wrestle again. He goes out to do the Daniel Bryan speech that should have been, a fake retirement which is interrupted by Hunter Dad Helmsley. Probably in his double denim. He taunts him about not wrestling again, leading to either a short story culminating at SummerSlam between them, or a much longer one for WM or the Rumble.

I hate the gradient thing they seem to love putting onto their tops. The current (or now last season I guess) home top was much better with the cleaner lines between the colours. It's not that bad, but it's not that good either.

I missed that one (only ever really read the recaps of RAW and the odd youtube upload) so fair enough. Switch it round then. Kurt and Trips are pumping each other and Steph's raging. Trips on a Pole match at WM between Steph and Angle.

I subscribed to this yesterday and gave a couple of episodes a listen, and liking it so far. The episode centered around Steve Bruce's attempts at writing a book especially.

I've yet to watch the Balor and Angle ones, but looking forward to it. As others have said, the 24 specials have been consistently brilliant. Weakest was probably the Women's one purely for them laying it on thiiiick about how they as a company are so amazing for doing it. Don't think I can watch the DBry one again...

It wouldn't necessarily have to be. I've just heard a lot of people say it'll be HHH to set up a match. Imagine it'd just be more of a power struggle. Steph doesn't want Angle in charge and would much rather have Dad Jeans next to her.

This, 100%. I imagine there are boardrooms in this country and others who will let some prejudice creep in, but is adding a forced quota really the answer to that? Surely if you have a case where that's happening, and they're forced to interview one, they'll just refuse to give him the job anyway. In that case, what have we really achieved other than tokenism? Does someone in a minority (outside of John Barnes) really want to get an interview under these circumstances? Would they feel a sense that they were good enough, or would it always eat away at them that they were literally only handed the chance because of their skin colour? It's a similar idea to policies I've seen at places of work I've had in the past with women - lots of extra help for them to really push on. Sexist against women to suggest they need that extra help, and sexist against guys who will surely just be fine cos they're lads, right guys? Hopefully one day we get to the point where the best person gets hired, regardless of what colour they are, what sex they are or who they want to pump.

I assumed it was going to be Steph/HHH, leading to Angle's return against the latter.

It's amazing what they can achieve with a character when they don't paint him as the babyface who sexually harasses the heels.

I'd put him in with the Cruiserweights. I imagine the match on Sunday is just going to be an extended squash with Cass brutalising the guy. Maybe even a DQ win. Stretch it out to Summerslam and have a stip match where he gets put out long term then bring him back as the plucky babyface in peril for the Cruiserweight division. His talking alone will light up whatever feuds he's in.

Sony have picked up the pace for July - Until Dawn and the Game of Thrones Telltale games are up for grabs. Delighted about Until Dawn - watched a Let's play a while back and looked pretty good. I think I've already got the GoT one, but if you like the Telltale game style, well worth picking up.

There definitely wasn't in the first one, I've yet to see the second one. It was just hitting people with it a few times. Can only imagine they were told they weren't allowed to, because I refuse to believe that people like Charlotte and Becky Lynch wouldn't want to do something mental. Charlotte's been in the far more dangerous (kayfabe or otherwise) Hell in a Cell match - I'm sure she can do a moonsault off a ladder.

Punjabi Prison match...what a time to be alive Sounds like the right decision on the MITB match, but it's a bit of a slap in the face to have the "big" match end like that and then fix everything on free tv. Why not just have the decent heel ending on the main show?

f**k...I waited and waited and got it on Amazon for £22 I believe last week. Should've waited to get the digital version. Brilliant game though

That's brilliant. It's not as if he told it in the style of some dramatisation where he changed a few details to sex it up. The only bits he seemed to get right was that there is a team called Linfield, they do play at Windsor Park and that he did play for Aberdeen at one point. Rhetorical question, but when he's putting that down, surely the briefest of moments have to cross his mind where he knows that someone somewhere is going to call him on it when it's so easily proved wrong.

I still think Azeez could do a decent job for a side that he fits into. Having him as a lone striker and expecting him to score is never going to work, but in a team that can support two forwards where he can use his physicality and not have to show how utterly shite he is at finishing, he'd probably do alright. But once again we're sitting needing center backs, but forwards are must-haves. If we can get Keown back, I'd be happy in replacing Lindsay then one other. Archie's usually pretty good with defensive signings. But we absolutely have to get it right with forwards and maybe even bring in 2 in case we f**k it up again.

Absolute car-crash of a thread the past few pages. Brilliant. Wee Izzy will be delighted at his new-found relevancy. Haud on...anyone seen Slaver and Feruz in the same place at the same time?

Did they not postpone a home one against us before? Could be wrong but sure it was.

Fixtures are out, and whaddayaknow, we've got Celtic at home on the 2nd week again. So that'll be us postponed, right? And first three home games are Celtic, Aberdeen and Rangers. Lol.

Aye, right enough

I've disliked most of the tops we've had before warming to them, but that one is very good right off the bat. Sponsor's a bit shit, but hey ho.

There's a 7 minute highlights video, and even though it puts some dreadful soundtrack over it it's still an alternative to watching the whole thing. Kind of wish I'd seen the whole thing unspoiled now though

Imagine liking something that Ramagamma doesn't like. You should all be fucking ashamed of yourselves. Go play a JRPG.

Rockstar are in a really bad position here. They've praised mods in the past, even spotlighted a few on their website. they've been stitched up by TakeTwo. At least people seem to be sending the blame the right way rather than at Rockstar though. Suspect they'd love to have the modding community onside, but are being pressurised by the publisher.

Taking your rambling points one by one. - pretty much. It was more like a 4 when attacking as both full backs were rarely forward at the same time. Anya was often the option while the other four tucked in. Had he not been dog shit, We might have had more success with that. Protection for the centre backs was also helped by having 8 or 9 men behind the ball, something we presumably won't be doing against weaker teams. - If you want to show me a stat of "hoofs per game" that demonstrates how much better this was then I'll happily say it's liquid football. I saw plenty of cases of huge gaps between most of our team and Griffiths, and one worrying time where our midfield seemed unable to bust a gut to support him in possession. That's bad in a system like we were playing. - this is really not hard to grasp. England's players are better than ours. That's just a fact. Nothing to do with their league which you seemed desperate to bring up. They're just of a better quality. Does that mean they're world beaters? Absolutely not, as is pretty obvious. Still comfortably better than ours though, and if they had been at the top of their game, they would have likely beaten us.
