The Inside No 9 stage show is a proper treat. I'm not the biggest fan of the show (by which I mean I've watched a season or two and then never gone back to it because I always choose films over TV), but I think they perfectly twisted that feeling to the stage.

Having been pipped to the post by Dory Funk Jr. last year, Kendo Nagasaki has almost certainly set the record as the oldest male wrestler to ever compete, wrestling for LDN on 23rd November 2025 at the age of 84, 61 years after his debut match.

i love rookies and rookie matches, but this addresses two important issues they face: surpassing the hype and fleshing things out

A ramble about Senka Akatsuki vs Spike Nishimura in which I talk about hype, the joy of watching a wrestler figure themselves out and where Senka is going.

I love the iron man, but I've always taken this over it, a big part of which is because of this finish.

I don't know why I thought I wasn't going to be a Phil Ellis fan going into this season of Taskmaster, but I was very wrong.

I'm sure she's going to refine it, but I quite like Senka's version of the Giant Swing where it looks like she's also not sure when she's going to stop.

Season 2 of No Scrubs kicks off with a bang with Matt Hardy vs. Jeff Hardy from Vengeance 2001, with Lita as special guest referee. With high flying daredevils like this, surely an exciting high-octane contest is guaranteed! (lol)

It sucks that it came from Masa's injury, but Aoi coming back on a regular basis to be Choco GM has been such a joy. She's clearly having the best time.

After a quieter September for my matches of the month, I had a lot to talk about in October. Among other stuff, we have a foray into sumo, Senka's first title shot and a lot of Meiko Satomura.

Give it a read, tell a friend, you all know the deal.
