  1. Tom Holland already played (and was wildly miscast as) Nathan Drake in the Uncharted movie, and that didn't really do too well (either in terms of being a good movie, or in terms of being a financial blockbuster). I'm not sure he would work as James Bond... Bond is supposed to be physically imposing, and a seasoned veteran at what he does (in Casino Royale, Daniel Craig's inexperienced green Bond still had a 40 year old's face). Holland is an athletic small guy who still looks child faced at 29 years old. Then again, people used to say Craig was all wrong for Bond, and he ended up pulling it off really well. Perhaps it'll be good.
  2. They did, but the only wrestlers who agreed to go were Antonio Inoki and Masa Saito.
  3. Julian McMahon died as well. He was in Nip/Tuck and was Dr Doom in the (Michael Chiklis, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans) Fantastic 4 movies 20 years ago. Only 56. Fuck Cancer. He was also married to Dannii Minogue for a couple of years in the 90s, but then most of you probably don't know that there are two famous Minogue sisters.
  4. There was a DJ on Radio 1 who had a turntable connected to a stationary pushbike, and the speed at which he pedalled controlled the speed at which the record spun. You'd be shocked at how similar Eminem sounds to sped up Jay-Z.
  5. It's July 1st. CANADA DAY! Get out of here with that American nonsense.
  6. UFC did once literally sell out every ticket in the Apex, and only had two people in the crowd. Now admittedly, the two people in question were Mark Zuckerberg and Mrs Zuckerberg, but still. It was like watching a throwback to the Covid 'no fans' era.
  7. I was talking about Then, not Now. The Claudio vs Ricochet match specifically was a case of them ignoring what the crowd was doing, and instead doing the match they'd planned out in the back. But presumably once Ricochet got backstage, someone gave him a talking to (or he had a good think by himself) about maximising crowd involvement and existing in the moment, and that's what shifted his performances. It is interesting though, how he never learned that lesson before. Although considering his WWE run, in NXT those fans were super into his super-indie tendencies, and then the main roster fans were apathetic to him completely. They weren't doing Bald chants at him to give him something to respond to and work off, they were waiting for his match to finish so they could get to the next segment where someone did a ring entrance or said a catchphrase.
  8. The thing about Kyle vs Kyle is, it's actually a masterclass in how to take a group of fans that are determined to ignore the match and just chant shit for their own amusement, and make them actually emotionally invest into the match. It's like Claudio vs Ricochet, if either of them knew how to work a crowd (they both know how to work a match, but neither of them really got deep into the Entertainment aspect of the Sports Entertainment).
  9. AR Fox hasn't wrestled outside of the USA in years. I think his criminal record might make it that he's simply NOT getting a Visa to work anywhere overseas. I'm sure they would have loved him in Arena Mexico, I'm sure we would have loved him in Wembley (either time), but he seems to be a USA exclusive talent at this point.
  10. If they got a KidzBop version of a song, that would be an instant heel thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RmnpAu9ipE&pp=ygUga2lkeiBib3Agd2FwIHNvbmcgb2ZmaWNpYWwgdmlkZW_SBwkJvgkBhyohjO8%3D
  11. There's a saying in the UK, that someone has Turkey Teeth. Basically because it's cheaper to fly to Turkey get cosmetic dentistry done than get it done in the UK*, but everyone who goes gets these tacky, overly-white fake looking teeth. * Americans, just don't. I know you all think it's a great laugh to say British people have messed up teeth, but you're a) ignoring that fact that more Americans per capita are missing teeth than British people, and b) failing to realise that Dentistry is the only part of British Healthcare that was fully Privatised (by Margaret Thatcher in the 80s), and so British people who aren't getting their teeth fixed are in that position because they can't afford it. You're making fun of people who are caught in poverty traps. It's cruel.
  12. Stadium Stampede: Willow Nightingale, Anna Jay, Tay Melo, Queen Aminata, Billie Starkz & Lady Frost vs Megan Bayne, Athena, Penelope Ford, Kris Statlander, Thekla & Red Velvet.
  13. I wouldn’t lay this thread being quiet solely at the feet of WWE news having it’s own thread. The board as a whole has been borked for days, hasn’t it?
  14. There used to be Wrestling at Dowload festival in Castle Donington. In 2015, it was Progress Wrestling, but then NXT UK took the spot and started running it like a house show/ taping there. And then after the pandemic happened and NXT UK stopped being a thing, Lucha Britannia took over.
  15. RetroMania Wrestling (the one from a few years ago that is based on Wrestlefest, but with an utterly random roster), is 70% off on PSN store right now.
