I saw Boyhood today. And I have to say... that's it? It's just a coming of age movie with a gimmick, and that's why all the critics rated it highly?

It's an out and out gimmick movie. If you are into the gimmick you will love the movie. If you want your nostalgia gland pleasured you will love the movie.

Aside from that it's a pretty straight forward drama movie with some great and some terrible acting and some great and some terrible writing. I think it's his weakest movie by far (yes I don't count FFN, deal with it).

It's so odd to see people have such disdane for the main roster and such excitement over NXT.

I'm a big fan of the current main roster! I just think they have shit to work with. They are stuck working bad material with poor booking a lot of the time.

Why is he wearing laced up shoes while in his underpants?

 

[Professor Beef]

When is the NXT special?

 

[Hasney]

I read the lineups of the shows without the results, even though some of the cards spoiled previous results.

Holy shit I cannot wait for this.

When is the NXT special?

Feb 11th.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

I like Bull Dempsey's intro.

BULL *thrash* BULL.

He needs to just scream BULL all match.

Corbins belly didn't look impressed, frowned the whole match.

 

[Professor Beef]

Feb 11th.

If I have the day off of work, maybe I can watch it.

...I'm not going to have to buy the Network, am I?

...I'm not going to have to buy the Network, am I?

I gave in when it came out over here. Being able to just chuck on the PS4/Fire TV and watch NXT is wonderful. And I know I'm going to watch Rumble/Mania anyway. Plus Bryan's back.

Yerp. Unless you are a filthy pirate.

Woooo The Boss, Bayley gonna crush you.

 

[TommyTosser]

Just read the spoilers, looks shit hot.

So do they film 3 episodes of NXT in one night?

 

[Hasney]

3 or sometimes 4. You can usually tell which show is the last one in a taping night by how un-energetic the crowd is on the 4 shot tapings.

That's crazy. So what are the NXT roster doing for the rest of the month? Just training and what not?

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh whatarush, there's no other option? Hulu isn't a thing for NXT anymore?

 

[Hasney]

They do house shows too!

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh whatarush, there's no other option? Hulu isn't a thing for NXT anymore?

I think Hulu is still a thing, but it's not live for these specials.

I dunno lol, I got the network and am a filthy pirate for Raw and Smackdown...... they get my money so I dunno.

 

[Aiii]

Yeah, Hulu Plus only though.

 

[Vylash]

if your goal is NXT, subbing to Hulu instead of the Network makes no sense

 

[Professor Beef]

I only want to watch the one show though.

 

[Vylash]

I only want to watch the one show though.

Hulu doesn't have the live specials, you'll also have to sit through ads and the video quality is inferior

 

[Aiii]

Hulu does have the live specials, just not a live broadcast of the live special.

Hulu is, of course, cheaper than the Network, and offers many other TV shows. If you only want the Network for NXT, I wouldn't put it above Hulu.

Unless you're in 'Murica, Hulu is pretty slow.

 

[Professor Beef]

There's a chance I wouldn't be able to watch it live anyways because of work, too. I think I still have a Hulu Plus 1 month voucher laying around somewhere, so I might be able to use that. And even if it's expired or something, I don't mind paying.

 

[Hasney]

Probably going to have to resubscribe to the Network myself now I don't need to fanny about with a VPN that stopped working on consoles with my ISP.

 

[miserable]

when i saw this gif i thought it was from a WWE 2K game and it was a glitch the way that dude was flying out of the ring

 

[Aiii]

I'm not in America, I have no issues at all with Hulu's speed.

It does have some Chromecast streaming issues with ads and continuing from them, but that's an App problem, not so much a connection issue between my home and America.

To be fair, that's likely due to Hola being a piece of shit, but I don't want to pay for a VPN or have all my traffic go through it.

The graphics aren't that good in any current WWE game.

 

[JavyOO7]

Apparently, according to Meltzer, no Main Event on Network until later in the year due to contractual obligations issues with Sky. Only way to watch it in US is through Hulu. Though if I am sourcing a fake report or something please let me know...

I wonder if this was the reason for the numerous launch delays in the UK?

lol, blocking the rest of the world from content because of a UK deal? Christ, they really did botch here.

 

[FlammableD]

So from the looks of it (and by accident), I seem to be on track for at least 1 live show a month so far this year. Copied from my Calendar:

Jan 4th: PROGRESS ENDVR 8 @ The Garage
Jan 25th: PROGRESS Chapter 17: Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger @ Electric Ballroom
Feb 22nd: Rev Pro @ London Cockpit
Mar 1st: PROGRESS ENDVR 9 @ The Bedford Pub
Mar 22nd: PROGRESS Chapter 18: The Show We Can't Call PROGRESSTLEMANIA For Legal Reasons @ Electric Ballroom
Apr 6th: CHIKARA @ The Garage
Apr 19th: ICW: Alex Kid In London @ KOKO

Going to try and keep it up for the rest of the year.

Honestly mainly bought ICW tickets to see how KOKO works as a wrestling venue, saw Bloc Party there and it was a really nice gig venue. And to see Drew.

So my extra Paige is missing now. That's just fucking great.

 

[Alucard]

Lucha Underground matches often feel like you're watching someone play a wrestling game with all of the wacky stuff that happens, so I can see why there might be some confusion.

 

[strobogo]

I paid for and enjoyed that HoH iPPV, as trashy as it was. Sometimes trashy is good, but if you're allergic to ECW nostalgia I don't know why you'd even watch a show you knew you were going to despise.

Also, Team Tremendous are pretty damn great and I'm disappointed you didn't realise this, stro. I mean, it's right there in the name.

You piece of shit.

 

[Aiii]

They probably figured that Main Event isn't a deciding factor in wether or not you get the Network and it's not cost-effective to create a seperate Network just for the UK and Ireland right now.

 

[Alucard]

Happy Friday, guys. Any plans for this weekend?

 

[Aiii]

My Goddaughter turned 9, so there's gonna be a wild party

Spoiler

of out-of-control 9-year-olds wrecking my brothers house and then also a bunch of old fucks like me discussing politics and terrorist attacks.

Good times.

 

[Hasney]

They probably figured that Main Event isn't a deciding factor in wether or not you get the Network and it's not cost-effective to create a seperate Network just for the UK and Ireland right now.

They were happy to do an IP check to block the entire network, not sure why they'd not just do that here.

Nah, spent the last of my money going out on Tuesday. It wasn't pretty.

 

[Aiii]

Probably requires extra programming. They still aren't Android 5.0 compatible and there's no Chromecast support either. I haven't been able to run the WWE Network on my mobile devices since the middle of last year now.

They asked me in the app to provide them with feedback once, so I reported those things, but still nothing.

 

[Gonzalez]

Here is my FOUL FIVE reasons to hate the UK...

5. No Main Event
4. Lousy Cinnabons
3. FELLAAAAA!!!
2. The lack of TV seasons, and incomplete programs
1. Mr. Bean

 

[Hasney]

Wow, I was literally about to post "only soulless people dislike Mr. Bean".

Well done Luchador, well done.

LEGITSHOOK.COM PRESENTS




WWF Summerslam 1996

• Savio Vega vs Owen Hart
• New Rockers vs Body Donnas vs Smoking Gunns vs Godwinns WWF Tag Team Championships
• Sid vs British Bulldog
• Goldust vs Marc Mero
• Jerry Lawler vs Jake Roberts
• Undertaker vs Mankind Boiler Room Brawl
• Vader vs Shawn Michaels WWF Championship

I'd like to point out that I did this almost a month ago and the negativity for this show was in no way influenced by the negativity of the HoH show. 1996 WWF really fucking sucked until around September/October when Russo started being allowed to write stuff. This show is no different.

 

[Gonzalez]

Ireland isn't part of the UK godammit!!

Alright I take that back.

3. The overpriced food at the Buckingham Palace Cafeteria.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

I had forgot there was a time when Sable attempted to appear classy.

I'll be at all those except for the ENDVR shows - didn't realise RevPro have two shows in London that month. I've got front row for the York Hall one.

You piece of shit.

Right back atcha, friend.

Wonderful! I still need to actually *get* tickets for PROGRESSTLEMANIA mind.

Nothing on the card for the York Hall show really grabbed me, plus that venue is the worst for triggering migranes in me. Boiling hot, no drinks even water at your seat, and a ring that's falling apart.

He's bringing back the "MEAT" gimmick.
