Just started So You've Been Publicly Shamed by Jon Ronson. Before that, I read Sharpe's Rifles by Bernard Cornwell (nothing like the show version, actually. Very different story... and one of the last ones where Sharpe is still a black-haired Londoner ) My Fight Your Fight by Ronda Rousey (she seems to have terrible taste in men, and for someone being made into a feminist icon she really doesn't do anything for the sisterhood of women) and Railsea by China Mieville, which I didn't like as much as I wanted to.

Well, a lot of Diaz brothers fights also go "He was winning all the way until the fight ended, and then he won on points and Diaz couldn't believe it... and then Diaz said he must have been on steroids." -
The Diaz brother's trick - throwing a lot of light punches early to trick the opponent into thinking they have no power - is a good trick. But let's be honest, Conor was winning up until he got caught, and even after he was rocked he survived a good couple of minutes. It's not like he got sparked out with a single shot, it's not like he was outclassed throughout. Is McGregor going to be medically suspended and not able to train for a few months, or is that only if you lose by KO?

Hebner is a Hall of Famer and Wrestling legend. Jeremy Borash said so, and he'd never lie about that sort of thing.

Wembley has a roof now. Record Attendance 90k+. Summerslam 92 was 23 and a half years ago. You Ontarians are just greedy.

I accidentally watched Universal Soldier: Regeneration and A Good Day to Die Hard back to back. If you've got an 80s/ 90s action franchise that's flagging, don't set the next one in Russia and have the climax at Chernobyl. Because although that might sound like a good idea, it clearly isn't one, because both of these movies were rubbish. Andrei Arlovski is slightly less uncharismatic on camera than Jai Courtney. Although he's basically playing an automata. Courtney is supposed to come across like a young version of Bruce Willis, and he just doesn't. At all. It seems all of his Spartacus charisma was in his hair. But basically, two bad movies and I don't know why I watched either, let alone both.

No, before Owen did his neck in, he was a guy with knee issues and nothing else (as far as anyone knew). So maybe his neck would be fine... but most likely if he goes to AJPW, he ends up in WWF anyway. Patriot did, Kroffat & Furnas did, RVD & Sabu did. Dr Death did. Gary Albright might have done, had he not passed away so young.

Well, if the table finishes the way it looks like it's going to, why would you leave a team that's in the Champion's League, to join a team that isn't? Yeah, money, I know, but the TV deal is supposed to have killed the Big 4's ability to outspend to success. The whole 'I wanted to play in the Champion's League' is an excuse, not a motivation. But Spurs' and Leicester's players would stick for next year at least, like Suarez stuck at Liverpool a year instead of leaving for Arsenal, so he could make more money at Barca.

Did you see the article where Lawlor said the reason why he took this fight was he wanted to watch McGregor in person? Apparently for the last two Conor fights (in Vegas), Tom Lawlor (who lives in Vegas) couldn't get tickets.

It's the Pele kick Mike, you never know when it's coming, you never know where it's coming... but it's almost always after a ducked clothesline. Unpredictable~!

If you were doing a 'Worst Wrestler in the World' gimmick, would your ring name be Randolph Ziggleton?

Wouldn't it be frustrating if, after their terribly amusing start to the season, Chelsea's rally ends up getting them back into the top 6 and Europa qualification? Unless they finish above Man U, obvs.

When you rewatch the first Ghostbusters now, it's really jarring how someone or other is smoking in basically every scene. Watched it with Xav when he was 4 or 5 and that really stood out.

It's wide open. Open to everyone with a PS4. But just multiplayer, no campaign... they probably think they've done something special, if they're that keen to show it off. I would have expected Fresh to have posted his old video by now, but he hasn't. Uncharted (PS3) multiplayer is OK, nothing really special. PS4, not even slightly unveiled yet.

The thing about McGregor going up to 170 is, he's not going up to 170 to fight a welterweight. He's fighting a lightweight (a big lightweight admittedly). Diaz left the 170lb division five years ago, because he was too small to fight the top guys there. And though Diaz has three inches in height, his reach advantage is only one inch, which may well be negated by McGregor's superior movement and distance control. And Diaz is a guy who breaks mentally when things don't go his way, taking a fight on short notice against a guy who specialises in breaking people mentally. So I think McGregor's going to win, is what I'm saying.

Speaking of Betas, is anyone trying Uncharted 4 multiplayer this weekend? It's free... they're calling it a stress test because they want the servers to get close to overloading.
-
If anyone was looking forward to the return of the Villante & Weidman show, here you are.
-
Which show will he have the better match at though? Takeover, 'Mania or post-Mania RAW?
-
True. So in this morning's New Day, the weird stories from the wacky world of sport item was about how some famous gambler who won quarter of a million dollars betting on Holm beating Rousey has put $70,000 on Tate for Saturday. Which is of no real consequence, but I wanted to mention how I was reading the New Day.

Nice poster, but why on earth did they choose that pose for Catwoman? Really breaks up the theme... and she's wearing black on a black background, behind some rain... you can't even see her ass cleavage clearly anyway.
-
Apparently this year's ceremony drew it's lowest rating in years. I bet the Academy think that proves you shouldn't have a black guy hosting.

Rickman is another of those guys where you'd expect he'd have had a nomination at the very least, at some point in his career. But look at Woody Harrelson, decades of fantastic performances, two losing Oscar nominations, and the only thing he's actually won is the Emmy for supporting actor in a comedy, for Cheers in 1989.

That's two or three sets of Embedded's where the only training Conor lets them film is his movement coach stuff, thus creating the impression that that's all the training he does. When it's probably only like 5% of his actual camp.
