    Should have opened it in the UK where spring and "late" in the year is the same thing. 

    There is a small chance we may get one. Universal Studios are in very early talks to build a theme park in Bedfordshire. There were open meetings with anyone that wanted to attend over the last few weeks in Bedford and it seems from all accounts that the people that attended had no objections. there's still a long way to go and they need approval from government or something and then they can start building (they already have the land earmarked, and a bit of extra land they can purchase too.)

    If they get the go ahead, it could be around 5 years until opening.

    Started watching RAW/Smackdown again since Wrestlemania (have TNT Sports as part of my EE phone).  How many adverts does the show need to have, probably close to an hours worth of ads with about 80 minutes of actual wrestling

    Just remember it’s American television. They have a lot more ads per hour than we do. But yeah when I watch RAW I can get through it in around 2 hours by fast forwarding all the ads and even more if you do the same for recaps and stuff (though they seem a lot less than in the past).

    Also love the new World Tag Titles, I expected the change to go inline with the men’s and women’s belts on RAW being named World too. Guess we’ll be seeing new WWE Tag Team belts on smackdown Friday.

    This WrestleMania may go down as one of the greatest ever. From the first match of night 1 to the main event last night, I think it was almost perfect. Perfect in a WrestleMania should be this way. WrestleMania has always been the culmination of stories. In the past we’ve had some where it just didn’t seem to finish anything and you get the same story continuing. Well it seems that the new direction is exactly how it should be going. 

     

    Spoiler

     

    I actually think I called like 95% of the results. The only one I didn’t get right was the tag titles match, however as soon as I heard that both sets of titles had to be retrieved and they weren’t placed together, I knew they were splitting them up.  Still didn’t call the winners though. I thought DIY was gonna win and Judgement Day would retain the others.  

    I thought Becky may win but just felt that Rhea is just on too much of a roll right now. Jey was always going to beat Jimmy, that was an easy call. Damage control had to lose as they were up against Jade Cargill making her WM debut, knew shed get the fall there.

    The only one I was unsure on was Sami vs Gunther. That could have easily gone ether way, what with WWE having a PLE in Germany in the near future. But damn I was pleased Sami won. 

    I wanted Drew to win and did think he would, but I was also calling a cash in too. It just seemed that it had gone quiet with that and it seemed like a perfect moment to do it with the interweaving stories with Drew and Priest. Just hated that it was Punk that instigated it. I just don't like the guy.

    As much as I don't like Logan Paul, I didn't see him losing. With the whole new Prime sponsoring stuff and it being a triple threat, I knew there was going to be some screwy finish for him to keep it. Oh well, his time will come to lose it.

    Bayley...oh Bayley. This story started last year at SummerSlam and it just felt like that perfect end. I didn't think this was the end they were going for, I truly thought Bayley would challenge Rhea and Damage Control would have all the gold, however this was just the better story. Plus it means we get to chant our favourite Bayley chant when she is over here and she can enjoy it and not have to act heel towards it.

    The Main event. I actually called both, once the tag match was set to determine the rules, I'm sure everyone knew it was going to be Bloodline Rules, just to make it harder for Cody. I even called Cody being pinned by The Rock. Everyone knew there would be all the Bloodline getting involved but I doubt anyone would have guessed at the two that came down in that match. Cena and The undertaker making and appearance and both having a spot with The Rock too. Just amazing moment. then it finished as it should have. It's been a year long story, mixed into a 3+ year long story. This could very well be one of, if not the best storyline in wrestling this century, possibly since the Austin McMahon stuff. Either way people will. be taking about Romans reign for a long  time to come. did it go on too long? Maybe. Has there been matches where it could have ended just as well? Yes. Was this is final chapter it needed, I think so.

     

    One last point, and it's one that a lot of people also agree with, and is actually getting praise and recognition for. Samantha Irvin. the best ring announcer in a long time. Even Cole took a moment to say how great she was after she did the announcements for Saturdays main event. But to me, these  clips just show how much she loves what she does and is probably a big a fan as anyone.

    Rhea Ripley winning.

     Announcing new IC champ, you could hear this live when she did it.

    To be able to hold back that emotion and still make the call. But to feel that coming through just added so much more to the wins.

    So much passion and love shown in those few clips. 

    Not for getting NXT Stand and Deliver which was also a great show from top to bottom.

    When you hold A at the start, you'll notice the colour of the exhaust pipes will turn white after a while. You need to make sure it turns white right before "Go!"

    You can still let go of A during the startup beeps to try and balance it at the sweet spot. So you can still pull it off, even if you start too early.

    The problem is, how long it takes for each car to that point is different, so it's not consistent between every car.

    It’s a bit tricky to learn.  Basically you want to hold down A at the start until right before the word GO appears, then quickly let go of A and quickly hold it down again.  Time it right at the end and you should get the rocket start.

    Two different replies guys. Which is it? :angry:

    Some great races, shame about the disconnect as that was shaping up to be a very close finish. Anyway...

    So as I say in the Tweet, I get the YAY as if I hit someone but can't believe that it was that throw. @Glen-i did say he got hit over VC but thought it was from in front that he ran over it. So I had to go into MKTV, set it to me, hits and 60 seconds. And low and behold this beauty...

    Greatest Throw Ever.

    Incineroar's signature move is "Darkest Lariat"

    So you may or may not know but Lariat is a wrestling move. It’s pretty much just a clothesline but one that is used as a wrestlers signature move. So anyone would use a clothesline, just throw your opponent into the rope, when he comes back put your arm out to the side (keeping the arm straight) and clothesline him. Sometimes it’s the one doing the clothesline doing the running. However those that up the clothesline to a Lariat and use it as a signature or finisher tend to put a bit more into it. Usually the Lariat is done with the one performing it doing the running. They also tend to put more force or motion into it. So instead of just putting the arm out they will swing the arm or their whole body into the other person sometimes almost wrapping the arm around the neck and shoulders of the opponent. Thus making it look a lot more powerful and devastating.

    Just bought the game after completing my first Hyper mode run.

    After you get past the starting few games and get some of the power ups powered up, the game really does start to shine.

    One thing to remember, and I can’t remember if it has been bought up in the live action yet, is that if the Avatar dies whilst in the Avatar State then the line can be broken and no new Avatar will be called on. Maybe the Fire Nation knew this and was hoping to kill him whilst he was in that state. 
    Though one other option, which is mentioned in the animated show, at one point the Fire Nation had captured Aang, and was keeping him locked up (I think it was when we first saw the Blue Spirit) one of the guards, or it may have been the one in charge, told Aang that they had no intention of killing him as he would just be reincarnated as the next Avatar in the cycle and the Fire Nation would just have to start their hunt again. 
    So my guess is they would have tried to find out who the Avatar was either before invading or whilst capturing some Air Nomads and then capture Aang during that first attack. Thus no new Avatar and Aang would just be held prisoner by the Fire Nation leaving them free to invade the other nations and take the victory.

    I’ve managed to survive over 10 minutes now on a few occasions, but I’ve been struck down each time by the new wave.  I’ve no idea yet how to get past it, but I’m having a blast trying!

    Nice to have the chance to try this on game trial. Did three attempts and got done in by the screen filling with skeletons every time. I suppose you have to just take the Ls and grind it for better starting abilities/ power ups/ characters. Not what I'm looking for right now.

    I was in that boat a few days ago too. Played a bit more and taking hints from here about going after one weapon and upgrading, trying to get as many coins in a game I managed to upgrade a few items. Not sure if I just got better or if the Library level is just easy but get that unlocked. First time I played it I got to about 25 minutes and think I maxed out all my weapons. Racked up like 2,000 coins in the game too as I got some coin shower thing where killing enemies gave me coins. Played a couple more games and both time got to the 30 minute mark, I’m assuming what happens when you get there in unavoidable on normal levels. But each time I had all weapons maxed and was getting a bag of coins per level up which was like every 10 seconds, Garlic, Bible books and the healing item make it seem like you’re invincible. 
    I think I’ll pay the £3.39 for this as it does make for a good hour time waster (yesterday I had wasted two hours just like that.)

    I always manage to forget just how excellent Book Two is.

    Yep. Been doing the same, a rewatch of the animated show and just finished Book Two. So much story told but it never feels overwhelmed. It moves along at a great pace and sets up Book 3 perfectly. 
    Im a few episodes into Book 3 now. Usually watching two or three at a time.

    So I got this on the iPad as it was free when everyone was raving about it but just couldn’t get into it and would die within a few minutes. Decided to give it a go on Switch cause of the free trial, thought maybe using an actual controller may help. Well it certainly does, managed to last a lot longer and even break 10 minutes within a few tries. But damn, I have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to powering up things and what to pick. Best I’ve found so far is to get the garlic power up item. Other than that I just end up running around avoiding things and just picking a new weapon. 
    May decide to buy it one day.

    Oh man, Captain Falcon on Great Smash Ball: :D

    Hehe. Me too. Was a complete fluke the first time it happened but then I just had to keep doing it. 
    It was noted on the puff-puff Jessica stage that apart from when you respawn it seemed only Piranha Plant could get up there to the hair platform on his own during normal play. Good camping ground, so maybe some platform or some other way to get up there.

    I had no idea what was going off, I thought we just had to race round collecting coins. It was only near the end of the first battle when someone drove into me nicking my coins did it click.

    I left after the first bomb battle, wasn't for me so I went back to watching football.

    So what I learned about coin runners is that there is a finite number of coins that will appear. After that the only way to get them is to steal off others.
