Wow that is incredible!

Was it free on Twitch? I mean, it's great to laugh at but I wouldn't pay for it.

That AAA thing was hilarious. I rarely sit through the whole of videos like that but it kept on giving.

Also read about raw last night. Are they seriously attempting to turn Braun heel? It's not going to work.

I don’t know if that was a fully fledged heel turn by Strowman or more him just getting his own back on The Shield for putting him through a table last week. Guess we’ll see next week, but they’d be stupid to do it - that would mean RAW and SD with somebody on it WWE want booed (Strowman/Becky Lynch) but the crowd wants to cheer.

Excellent.

Hmm, that’s an option. Was hoping to watch it live but I’m struggling to find a legit way to!

Preston City Wrestling begins tonight at 11pm on Showcase, and every week thereafter. Can be found on Sky, Freeview HD, Freesat and satellite.

Very small audience (IMPACT currently reaching about 6,000 viewers) so there’s ample room for growth. There’s a core base of wrestling fans though that have a propensity to find programming like very few others. IMPACT has gained those viewers in a few short weeks with practically zero advertising.

Is All In not on NJPW World yet? I just signed up and paid, with the intention to watch it tonight, around typical PPV time, possibly slightly earlier, but didn't spot it on the app. I don't want to check Twitter because I'll likely have it spoiled. Curious how long it is too?

NJPW World is much cheaper than I thought, unless I've worked it out wrong (about £7?). I haven't watched for at least a year (I used to watch via dubious means Kodi, but that stopped working randomly). It's a little daunting logging in and seeing the wealth of shows. Not sure where I'll start after All In.

Nope it's not up yet. It's a 4 hour show (with a 1 hour pre-show, but I don't think that'll be uploaded).

Roughly £7 per month is about right.

I would start with this year's G1. Try the gold matches in this list (starting at row 1727), column G is the English commentary link.

Can't even find any bloody torrents of it.

EDIT: ooh there's finally one available

Wow, that's extremely comprehensive, thank you. Scrolling down, spotting loads of Vader, and Bam Bam Bigelow matches too.

Wonder how long I'll have to attempt to avoid spoilers for All In.

All In is up on New Japan World now.

Finally! Youtube kept spoiling it for me with recommendations with spoilers in the title.

I watched the G1 Special yesterday, and enjoyed it immensely. Tanahashi's hair . It's really weird how they list everything separately with seemingly no option to play events together(?).

I'm glad I wasn't bothered about being spoiled. Opened up Instagram on Sunday morning and the first thing I saw was a pic on Jericho's instagram of him dressed as Pentagon.

Do you mean watching the whole PPV together rather than just the individual matches? They're there but the search on that site is an absolute mess.

Yeah, I'm not sure if it's different on the FireTV App, but for me all the matches are separate, they even have opening, break and closing segments. Two of each, one with English commentary, one with Japanese. A bit confusing at first, but easy enough to figure out, I guess.

All in was such a success. While the card seemed random at times, it just worked. They did a fantastic job, from commentary to the production crew. Low points, the Cody match. Such a stinker and overbooked nonsense but Cody looked like a star. High points, Janela/Hangman, both these guys are future stars, Hangman has the look and skill and Janela will get over with his mic work, Okada/Scurll shouldn’t have worked as well as it did, the young bucks match was hilarious. They had to wrap up by 11 so the match was so fast as they were running out time. Pentagon/Omega put on a show and the reveal at the end Show was far too long mind and you could tell with the crowd but hey for now it’s a one off and they pulled off one of the biggest shows outside of WWE.

That was the first time I've seen Pentagon and he's AMAZING. Sucks there's still no legal way of watching Lucha Underground in the UK.

Meanwhile on Raw...

He appears on Impact, so you could just watch that on Spike on a Friday.

Listening to Eric Bischoff's new(ish) podcast and I can't believe how all the episodes I've got through so far have featured these adverts/infomercials for erection pills and Eric Bischoff saying how great they are.

At least we now know the E in Easy E didn’t stand for erection ..........I’m aware it was for Eric.
