  1. Wrestling is definitely subjective, because I don't recognise the company you're describing. With that being said, I also agreed with JR's comments to an extent. All it takes for a transition move to become a finisher is perceptive booking of that move. One of the things that baffles me about WWE's midcard is that WWE haven't utilised nobody kicking out of 'End of Days' to Baron Corbin's benefit. It could push him to an IC title reign with ease (and I don't even like him).
  2. Word for word my thoughts on AEW. And the beauty of it having multiple stories woven into one narrative means the flexibility is there to shoot off in any direction. With WWE, the storylines are so rigidly between one or two wrestlers that one botch, or spoken error, or McMahon hissyfit throws an entire story off kilter into stop-start booking. With AEW, one botch, one spoken error, the main story keeps trundling on while the mistake gets fixed within a week or two.

    Pinning Topics

    I think it just shows him what's pinned and/or unpinned rather than letting him pin/unpin. I used to get them all the time too. @bazza It just means some topics are 'pinned' to the top of the message board and won't fall away once people stop posting in them as the others do.
  4. Loved it, was our first Lockdown binge watch. 'Fold in the cheese' describes every effort that my mum made to teach me how to cook 😂
  5. I'd pick Hughes. Cutting his teeth in league management with us, the evolution of style was rapid over 3-4 years, and some of my highlights as a fan came under Sparky. First match abroad, the FA Semi at Old Trafford, being there for both matches in the double over Utd, and of course THAT CHANT. Go left, go leeeeeft...
  6. This in a nutshell. You need to understand if you're using it that you're interacting with idealised versions of other people. Even with the best will in the world nobody is truly who their Facebook avatar says they are.
  7. I watch Whatculture and WWW. Can't get to grips with Cultaholic, I don't know why though.
  8. Oh I know but I think Dack still Trumps Rothwell. If not Rothwell, then he has to take a wing spot (perhaps in place of Brereton).
  9. As good as Rothwell has been, he'd be who I drop for Dack tbh. Mid 3 would be: Holtby Travis Dack
  10. A point in those circumstances with 10 men and from behind is just brilliant. Personally would've been happy with a draw before the game anyway, but we're just looking like we can beat who we want, however we need to provided there are 11 men on the pitch. The best teams are first and foremost hard to beat, and we're proving ourselves to be so imo.
  11. You've not been watching the same games as me then. Plenty of defence splitters and an absolute pearl of an assist in (I think) the Wycombe game.
  12. I did consider my fandom the year that we seemed to be chanting racist things like 'he shags p***s' about Owen Coyle at every away game. Luckily I feel those kinds of dickheads are a minority in our (and most) fanbases. Not Millwall's though.
  13. But he didn't say Pele wasn't a great player, he just said he doesn't like him. No contradiction that I read.
  14. He's done it on the quiet from the start imo, which is why he kept referring to his 'leaders in the dressing room', like Graham, Bennett, Mulgrew, and Conway.
  15. Possible he wants to be in the HOF ASAP so he can stop having to worry about the character?
  16. As with the PS4, I'll order in a couple of years when it's cheaper, there's a series of games widely proven to be fun to play, and bugs are mostly sorted out.
  17. Dad still kicking 6 years after terminal prognosis of 5-7yrs, you'd never know he had it. It might not be a cure, but I think the 'Stampede' drug trial he's on has halted it. Without any other intervention, his PSA has been at 0 (zero) ever since. Down from 775 at diagnosis when 4 (four) was considered 'high risk of cancer'!
  18. Met with my dad as a patron of Prostate Cancer UK. RIP big man
  19. Morecambe and Wise are timeless. I'm 29 and love them, and will be showing them to my chn.
  20. I keep up with WWE on WhatcultureWWE, and watch AEW every week. I would watch NXT just as much, but have cut back on what I watch due to cost. I can see what you mean about AEW being a vanity project, but I just feel like I'm watching a fantastic variety show each week and I like that they try completely weird things. Also helps that Mrs E hasn't ridiculed AEW yet, but she did WWE and NXT.
  21. For me, Benoit was BRILLIANT in the ring but not much else. Looking back, I wonder if after his WHC win, he should have been happier to settle into the 'proving ground' role that Cesaro has now or 123 Kid had back in the 90s. 'If Benoit can get a match out of you, you've got a chance' type of thing. Obviously we'll never know now. So many dream matches that never were involve Eddie and Benoit vs current stars.
