Did the Ideal Home Show this morning to scout out stuff before the move... and in among the piles of AI slop, it's telling that there's insane levels of interest in solar among parts of the UK that have the spare $ for it. Wonder why...

Looking around at stuff around MK and that Pixel Arcade is screaming out at me. Three hours of free play arcade cabinets for £16? Count me in!

If you're planning to watch #AEWDynasty on Triller TV for whatever reason........... OH DON'T YOU WORRY. YOU CAN WATCH IT ON TAPE DELAY!!!! LMAO!!! ON TAPE DELAY!!!! If any other International fan got this too let me know.

I perhaps should be putting this into another format, but a lot of what I see in the current British scene leaves me wondering what I'm missing. Whether it's fans who haven't been around for nor care about the past, or people whose job it is to hype up the current product, I just don't get it.

It's a shame that the production of a wrestling show is enough to turn me away from a match I was really looking forward to... but I guess it's what the kids like these days. Being shouted at with fake excitement.

It's weird, but Carat week aside, I've seen zero live wrestling this year and I'm not exactly missing it. In a year so far where I've had a real need for distractions, that's saying something...

wXw Shotgun (April 02, 2026) recap - #wXwShotgun - Fresh on the heels of a Saturday night in Frankfurt, Shotgun returns to bring us up to speed on the latest from wXw.

It's always jarring seeing "where I grew up" on a YouTube vlog. This time, the new Gary Eats video (eh, Peterlee is close enough...)

wXw We Love Wrestling #75 - 16 Carat Gold Revenge (March 28, 2026) recap - #WeLoveWrestling - Elijah Blum faced off against the longest reigning former Unified World Wrestling champion, as he defended against Bobby Gunns in Frankfurt.

Night 3 of 16 Carat Gold is still free on YouTube for about 22 hours. The first match of the show is already a good demonstration of how over Ahura is (the last match even more so)

We need to talk about Ahura... but first, if you don't know who he is, then this piece I wrote will get you up to speed!

Stopping to charge the car on the way back from MK and some dick has cut off almost all the charger cables...

Might be time to give this another crack, given how Twitter seems to be suspending anyone who gets the Podcast Awards DM...

Well that's my birthday evening sorted out... How many craft beers can I drink in four hours...

First good weather weekend of the year so of course we took the doggo out...

Just heard Chasyn Rance was arrested today for violating terms of his sex offender registration. Specifically, the Orange County Jail website says he failed tor report changes in vehicle ownership, failed to report an “internet ID, web page, or app name” 2x, and provided false registration info 3x.

"If you don't have a desire to see violence, why are you watching professional wrestling?" - @lordgideongrey.bsky.social Someone ought to stick that on a shirt...

Yay for signal failure on the way home from the wrestling...

Revolution Pro Wrestling Live in Sheffield (February 23, 2025) Some of the names gunning for Michael Oku lined up with him and against him in Sheffield as we continued to head towards Epic Encounter.

wXw Dead End 2025 (February 22, 2025) recap - #wXwDeadEnd - It’s the last stop before 16 Carat Gold - and Young Blood have to deal with the Big Bucks’ challenge in order to take their titles into Carat weekend.

Watching on TV, the atmosphere at this Sunderland game is downright eerie. Feels like everyone is on tenterhooks, with Pattos howler not helping at all. #safc

It's the weirdest hill to die on, but I have a feeling that that Palace duo is gonna be what eases me out the door...

The scene's gotten a lot of new fans in the last 5-10 years... but if you've not read up on recent history, boy howdy you're going to see a repeat of it very soon.

A loss to the leaders not unexpected, but I do wonder if Browne and Mundle were fit. Serious questions about running the same 11 into the ground with this run of games #safc

WILS-ON OFF THE POST!

One thing I never wanted to be was "a name", but it's a hell of a kick in the balls to be doing something for the thick end of 20 years and feel so goddamned anonymous.

There's a lot to be said for recognising when the writing's on the wall and to just go with the tide.

Scrolling through ads on Instagram and I'm sorry, but since when are WREXHAM a grassroots club?!

The last 48 hours or so have really made me doubt large swathes of the scene. The more things change, the more you realise nothing really changed

#ICYMI - we dropped a new episode of #AufDieFresse last night talking about the breaking news of Peter Tihanyi's injury, the plans that'll need changing for Carat, as well as a look at last weekend's show in Bielefeld. Links to stream at backbodydrop.com/blog/feature...

Four years ago today we adopted this bugger and we've never looked back. Sure she hates other dogs with a passion, and she's prone to snatching stuff on walks that land us with vets bills for pancreatitis... But we'd not change a thing!

New episode of #AufDieFresse with @ianwrestling.com and @mikekilby.bsky.social discussing Peter Tihanyi's injury and the subsequent effects for Carat. Plus a look at the Bielefeld and Mendig shows and other news. Out now on Spotify and all podcast apps! open.spotify.com/episode/1duI...
