Notes…



Sorry for the delay, last week was such a busy week filled with little sleep and not much time to sit down and digest the 180 hours of wrestling that happened this week so I apologise for not meeting my own deadlines, hopefully this longer-than-usual episode makes up for it. And if it doesn’t, gimme money on Patreon and I’ll save up for that time machine.

And what a week to be busy. The Rumble, NXT Takeover, Raw, Smackdown, NXT, 205 Live, Mixed Match Challenge, Booker out, Coachman in, Spud debuts, new Raw tag champs, 5 Star Wrestling starts, Booker threatening to beat Graves if he sees him…being a wrestling fan is like being a diabetic in a sweet shop, you can only realistically eat so much before dying.

I’ve never seen Cat In The Hat, just that one scene on YouTube. I watch a lot of shit films but I’ve never been able to find anyone sit through and endure it. The Guru was enough for me.

Greg Hamilton claims he didn’t forget Lince Dorado’s name and the pause was something else, but I wanted to make a crap joke in the video. If you message me saying ”that wasn’t Justin Roberts, please have a word with yourself.

I thought Alunda Blayze was putting on an act. I also used to think Booker was pretending to play an angry, confused old man on commentary so don’t ask me for any lottery numbers.

For all those watching with kids: I’m sorry for making you watch Peppa Pig for the 60th time today.

The Brock vs. Braun moment made our entire room go OH SHIT OH SHIT IT’S REAL IT’S REAL and was the highlight of a garbage fire of a match. I enjoyed the Women’s Rumble but me giving it further compliments will be taken as me enjoying the botches so maybe it’s better for me to be quiet. I’m serious though, as serious as I am about missing Booker vs. Graves.

I love Dream so I’m half-sad about having to include his stuff with Hero, but he was still over as fucking fuck regardless so he’ll be OK.

The people who accuse me of adjusting the audio levels can piss right off after Cena’s YELLS at Rumble. Yeah I confess, I adjusted the audio: I turned it down so it didn’t blow your speakers out.

Ending audio with Vince and Undertaker is from Bottom. I’ve had ”do that bit with Vince getting his leg fucked” scribbled on a notepad for a while.
