    Big Daddy? Giant Haystacks? 

    Honestly I've really only heard a little bit about them from my uncles and my dad and I can't really comment on how much of an impact they had. They could very well be worthy of a spot there, personally I didn't feel like I could include people who I've never watched and know very little about.

    Any thoughts on this? Think British Bulldog, William Regal and Drew McIntyre are all definitely on there for me, I'd probably pick Paige for the fourth.

    I never once said R&L should go ahead this year, I just said I’d go if it did 

    Not that people are annoyed at, it's your reasoning that it's 'just the sniffles' and that it isn't that bad when, as apparently needs to still be explained to people.. 

     

    PEOPLE ARE FUCKING DYING

    ?

    Why are you trying to dodge the fact that people are dying who otherwise would have lived and that that is clearly a bad thing and that a lot of those people who are dying are not just dying of the fucking 'sniffles'

    90% of those who died had underlying health problems and of the 10% who didn’t, the vast majority were very old. Those who are dying from this were very close to death anyway, people aren’t just randomly dropping dead.

    Almost 50,000 excess deaths, a lot of those due to this. This isn't just people who would have died anyway as you're suggesting, there are thousands of people who would have been alive if not for this. Get a fucking grip

    Risk what? The sniffles? 

    People are fucking dying you moron. Young and old, just because the risk is smaller doesn't mean it isn't there. And those 'sniffles', even if thats all you get, might be worse for somebody you pass it on to. A festival isn't worth people fucking dying

  7. I mean its better than fucking Lesnar.. at least now I'm pretty interested in where they go with Otis.

    I'm pretty sure he ain't winning a world title anytime soon, but I'm curious to see what they do. They could do something with Mandy (Mandy using the briefcase on Bayley? They could probably get away with saying thats allowed), with Mandy turning heel again. Or alternatively I'd like to see the briefcase change hands a few times, keep the suspense up a bit because people wouldn't know who would be cashing it in, never mind when.

    MITB at WWE HQ and finishes on the roof 🤣

    At least they're taking the opportunity to do something different. Even if it sucks, I think doing things like this while they have the chance is the best thing to do.

  9. A lot of people being let go by WWE today. Some more sad than others. So far:

     

    - Drake Maverick (James Curtin)
    - Curt Hawkins (Brian Myers)
    - Karl Anderson (Chad Allegra)
    - Luke Gallows (Drew Hankinson)
    - Heath Slater (Heath Miller)
    - Aiden English (Matthew Rehwoldt)
    - Eric Young (Jeremy Fritz)
    - EC3 (Michael Hutter)
    - Lio Rush (Lionel Green)
    - Kurt Angle 
    - Sarah Logan (Sarah Rowe)
    - Mike Chioda
    - Epico (Orlando Colon Nieves)
    - Rowan (Joseph Ruud)

    Backstage:

    - Dave (Fit) Finlay
    - Lance Storm
    - Mike Rotunda
    - Shane (Hurricane) Helms
    - Scott Armstrong
    - Pat Buck
    - Sarah Stock
    - Shawn Davari
    - Billy Kidman

    yes it was great, when does the taker one drop?

    Not sure I've seen a date for it. Will definitely be watching it once its out though

    I mean JEW and AFI would still just about play 4th, AFI subbed NME at 2009 and I don't think they've decreased in size, subbing NME is about 4th just. At 10k capacity there is not really the need or warrant for a 3rd down band and Thrice wouldn't even get 4th at Reading.

    I dont think its the 10k capacity that warrants it, its the price. Its an amazing festival but its becoming fairly pricey now. I don't think they'd be able to get away with a lot of the headliners they've had before. I agree AFI and JEW are decent sized headliners but not really any bigger than You Me at Six (4th down at Reading last year, headlined NME a few years ago and their last tour was a decent size and sold well) or Frank Turner. I feel like they'll have a really hard time growing if they cant start offering bigger headliners, which surely would mean the kind of bands who would play 3rd down Reading. Looking back at the last few years headliners, a few of them seem a lot smaller. Twin Atlantic aren't doing massive shows and played 7th down at Reading last year (3 spots below YM@6), so thats another band realistically out of the headliner pool. Some of the bands who headlined a few years ago (Nothing but Thieves, Frank Carter ATR, potentially Slaves too when they're active again) would be good bookings as they're on the rise.

    Damn, I know it's 4 years ago I went but it was like £40/45 maybe a ticket and I guess capacity has doubled they are booking a bigger act now. JEW and AFI wouldn't play lower than 5th at Reading for example, probably 4th and a Trees headliner back then would have been a 6th down main stage band max I think.

    Yeah headliners at Trees really ought to be 4th/5th down at Reading size. Probably leaning towards the top end of that with the price increases, start aiming for 3rd downs too (Frank Carter for example doesn't seem out of reach for Trees).

    Yeah pre-recording and being able to edit it to their hearts content definitely helped. I actually think my 2 favourite matches were the Taker/Styles and Cena/Wyatt matches. Not sure how much of it was down to Cena/Wyatt and how much was down to WWE Creative but whoever it was they absolutely smashed it out of the park!

    Good storytelling in Edge/Orton but at 37 minutes I think it was a little too long.

    Yeah a bit too long for me although I did enjoy it (just really should've been 5,10 minutes less).

    Has anyone seen the Cena/Wyatt stuff from last night yet? It's absolutely fantastic! 😂

    Genuinely might be my favourite 'match' I've watched for a long time. Fair play to WWE. They were in a weird as hell situation but in my opinion they gave us one of the better Wrestlemanias, especially in recent history.

    I saw somewhere that the estimate is that ten times as many people as officially recorded actually have the virus

    Yeah seems about right. Seems insane that we're potentially approaching 1% of the population having it.

    Just now, steviewevie said:

    There are the antibody tests to determine this, but won't be available for everyone for a while yet.

    Yeah I'll be interested to see how it plays out once we get the antibody tests, I suppose at least for the purpose of knowing more about the virus it could be really helpful

  16. What I'm really interested to see is how many people actually do have the virus, and just haven't been tested because their symptoms were only mild or even just had none at all. I remember a while ago the government saying they thought that between 5 and 10 thousand people had the virus. If that number has increased at the same rate as detected cases, I wonder how many people actually have been infected by now..
