  1. The very fact this puts one of my all-time favourite matches (the Bash 90 tag) in there makes me very happy
  2. Lush green English fields where I live, and some stately homes nearby. I mean essentially I live in Jane Austen countryside, so it's probably got to be one of the adaptions
  3. The Gino episode just aired in the UK yesterday. Jaw was seriously dropping at this one. So powerful. Obviously there is the "these two guys both said it wasn't murder, so that must be the case" issue, but it gives closure to his mother, which was a great ending. There were bits that suggested a full investigative series could be done just on Gino's death, including the inaccuracies in the identification of the body (them listing him as uncircumcised), but overall this was my favourite episode so far, alongside the Brody one.
  4. Aoki's death is so sad. Such an incredible talent, and a really nice guy. I became friends with Aoki on his UK excursion back in the NOAH days, to the extent that the NOAH crew filmed us saying goodbye to each other on the last show. I went to the Champions Carnival final in 2015, years later. Aoki saw me, and called me over to the merch table to chat to myself and my wife (who is Japanese, but has little interest in wrestling). So shocked to read of the news of his sudden death this morning. Was only recently speaking to someone on Facebook about how good it was to have become friends with him during his tour. Such a tragic end to a talented and lovely guy
  5. If Skyscanner.Net works for US flights try that. It actually tracks flight costs on a day by day basis so you can nab them when the price drops
  6. When we went we found that simply by switching the outgoing or return date from a Monday or Saturday to a Sunday dropped the price by a massive £1100. Worth moving a day or two to the left or right to see what might happen to the price!
  7. I shall await an easier official solution to turn up. Thanks though
  8. Ah yes. I know about the PC one, but I want to have one that fires it up on a phone as I don't like turning on my PC to watch my TV
  9. I'm longing for this to have PS3 or Chromecast support. Literally the only thing stopping me lay down my cash is that I can't put it on my TV in the manner I wish. But when I can... Oh, when I can!
  10. Thanks. The ten man looks like the kind of wacky fun I will enjoy plus has Ultimo Dragon, Suzuki and my friend from his tours of the UK Aoki on it so I'm happy with that
  11. I'm going for my first trip to Japan next week primarily to meet my fiancées father, but she's been nice enough to get us tickets for the Champion Carnival final too, despite not really getting wrestling herself. Looking on the site they list the four final tournament matches. Other than these and the final match, do they normally have additional matches on the last day. Would love her to experience a juniors match or a multi man match on that show
  12. And I had to note down where I was on my Nitro viewing by episode number not date....!
  13. It's just a sneak peek on Monday so not an official series start just yet
  14. Yeah . Gene, Hacksaw, Jimmy and Pat all did me in on that one. Tony Atlas story was pretty amazing too
  15. Just noticed that the WCW and ECW PPVs have been taken from the Vault section. I'm guessing this is to clean that section up to make room from a SNME section!
  16. Is this where Heenan drops the F Bomb? Wonder if that stays in uncensored?
  17. I don't take the Countdown shows too seriously but I am baffled by the exclusion of the Steiners and Hart Foundation from a WWE countdown on best tag teams. I can get that the two Express teams may be a bit unknown sadly to their current audience but these two teams should have been on there
  18. Decided to use a random number generator to choose my viewing tonight. Currently watching Ken Patera v Bruno Sammartino from a WWF Old School card. Fascinating to see some of the 1970s shows on here
  19. Yeah I would say overall the Attitude era was still awesome but things like the cancer comments by Bossman and the rape sequence were taking things too far
  20. Eugh. I'm no prude but this opening Smackdown segment where DX are bragging about pretending to have raped Stephanie is something I'm finding incredibly distasteful
  21. I would imagine that this is something that will get updated and improved once they start adding more and more marker points for individual matches on shows. Looking forward to it as this is definitely a feature I would definitely use a lot once it is up to speed. Also on a side note, props to you for searching Lenny Lane!
  22. They have actually started doing this in the mini inserts between shows called Behind The Match (or something like that). Caught one the other day with Booker T talking about his match on the final Nitro
  23. Properly shed a tear during that Warrior documentary. Such a well put together piece and great as a general documentary far beyond just a great wrestling one. Told a great story of an incredibly up and down career. When Triple H talked of having to figure out how to go tell Vince that was when the tears started but the Little Engine bit started that for sure
  24. Not sure if they kept them or could even convert them easily but I would love to see some of the old Byte This Internet shows on there
