I gave Midnight Spider-Man #1 a go and it wasn't for me. Tried Midnight Fantastic Four #1 and Midnight X-Men #1 and didn't grab me either. Doubt I'll be back. Be interesting to see the sales figures for #2 and #3. #1s always sell big, it's seeing who stick (pun intended for Midnight Spider-Man) around. In addition to the above, be interesting to see if the Midnight verse takes off and becomes a critical/commercial hit like Ultimate Spider-Man (2000), Ultimate Spider-Man (2024) and the Absolute books (2024-present day) or if it's not like Spider-Man: Chapter One was. Trying to think of other misses. Marvel needs Midnight to be a hit.

Absolute Justice just announced. By Jason Aaron and Juan Ferreyra.

Can't stand Colby Covington. Can't stand Jon Jones. Two POS.

Just dropped. Must see.

I love all three. I'm content with Oiwa/Uemura in third. It's between Americano/Americano and Okada/Tanahashi for top spot and it's so close. I think Okada/Tanahashi is still my MOTY as I was more emotionally invested. Tanahashi vs. Okada got me into NJPW in 2012 and I've stayed ever since. One of the greatest rivalries of all time and I'm glad broken down Tana went out in style as so few do. Hiroshi Tanahashi is one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. Mask vs. Mask was amazing with the hottest crowd all year and that's how a blowoff match should go out on. Choosing between both is one of the hardest years I've ever had for Match of the Year.

A must watch.

I hope @Technico Support is ok. Tomorrow will mark a fortnight since he last appeared here, 25th of September.

Cheers, @JLSigman and @NikoBaltimore xxx.

Mason Rook may be out of action "for a very long time." "Whatever's going on with Mason Rook I have been told could be pretty serious, but I don't know what it is. I've just been told he could be out a long time. Could be a very long time. So, no one seems to really be talking about what the issue is, but whatever it is, it's a real issue and he could be out like a long time. So all the best to him as well. That's all I know about that." Rook was set to challenge Grayson Waller for the NXT Title last week but he was pulled from NXT just hours before the show due to not being medically cleared. It was then announced by NXT GM Robert Stone that Rook would be out for "the foreseeable future." (Source: Wrestling Observer Live) --- Sounds serious. Best wishes to Mason Rook.

WWE's tribute just released: RIP Benjamin "Adrian Neville/PAC" Satterley.

Yesterday was World Cerebral Palsy Day. Meant to mark it here. 50 million people worldwide live with the disability and I'm one of them. Cerebral palsy affects the brain, movement, muscles and speech. We were told I'd never talk or walk but through support of my parents, sister and health clinicians who encouraged, not discouraged, I'm able to. I am feeling the cerebral palsy more as I'm getting older. The best neurologist I ever had said that would happen and people with this work five times harder doing the exact same things as those who don't. All this puts it into perspective. Thank you.

NJPW Road to King of Pro-Wrestling 2026: SPOILER WARNING!

There's no fucking chance I'd go there and there's no fucking way I'd send any employees there as I have a conscience.
