Let’s… talk about other people… pretending… to kick some ass! Worst Promo: Triple H Disparages A Talking Corpse (WWE) Triple H cut a promo on The Undertaker that was […]
After my success at selling New Mutants #98 my Dad happened to mention it to some people at work. However he forgot the finer details of how New Mutants #98 is highly sought after, how popular Deadpool is and how £107 is a relative bargain when you consider condition for such an in demand comic. […]
Welcome to week two of the Nerdly Wrestling Awards, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have a very competitive week of wrestling to get to, with one league getting a card in as an early exception to the rule. Let’s get right to the best of wrestling, from last week. Worst Promo: […]

I’m Nathan Favel and we will come together once a week to decide the best and worst of professional wrestling from what was reviewed here on Nerdly. Let’s get started! Worst Promo: Elias went to Summerslam and had a purposefully terrible concert that […]
Filip Miucin had an inauspicious start at IGN ten months ago. Plucked from relative obscurity, he was thrust into arguably the world’s foremost Nintendo podcast, Nintendo Voice Chat. Its hugely popular former presenter, Jose Otero, just finished his tenure by nailing a job at Nintendo itself. Miucin was visibly and verbally nervous for several weeks […]
Welcome to a new weekly column where I will chronicle the ups and downs of being a comic collector using eBay to buy and sell. Things didn’t get off the greatest of starts. When I went to list my first item for sale I got an ‘Access Denied’ message! I want to start by talking […]
The following is an open letter to any-one and every-one: Dear People (…that includes all y’all, too) A veteran comedian and a current cast member of Saturday Night Live, Leslie Jones has always been in the peripheral of her profession, which often happens to any-one who is not a white man. Jones has been one […]
Since its release a fortnight ago, one of the most consistent criticisms of Square Enix’s JRPG Octopath Traveler has been that its eight stories are almost entirely separate and don’t converge in any “meaningful” way. Having played around 40 hours of the game, I began to wonder why so many might feel this particular frustration. […]
Sex crimes of any kind have existed in wrestling over the years, just as in any walk of life. From Roddy Piper’s story about a male wrestler who wanted him to grab his penis in public to Mel Philips orally raping an eleven year old at a WWE event, we’ve had these accusations before. What […]
A few days ago, James Gunn, the director of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, was fired from directing the third film in the series when a man named Mike Cernovich found old tweets of Gunn’s from around the 2008-2011 range that made risqué jokes about rape and pedophilia. One such joke was, to paraphrase, […]
There is a new television show coming to Netflix called Insatiable, which stars Debby Ryan of Disney Channel fame. The show is about an obese teenager who loses her excess weight after suffering an accident that forces her mouth to be wired shut for several months, which prevents her from eating excessively. When the teenager […]
The following is an open letter to the WWE and it’s owner, Vince McMahon: Dear Vince McMahon, A thought occurred to me while reading some-thing Eric Bischoff said about the brand split. In the wake of the Fox/WWE deal, which sees Smackdown coming to the FOX Network, Bischoff claimed that there might be a feud […]
The following is an open letter to Bryan Danielson, currently working for the WWE as Daniel Bryan: Dear Bryan, Get the hell out of there! Are you nuts?! The WWE run worked for a while, but it seems that it has just about run its course. You’ve had some great matches and made some great […]
The following is an open letter to Nick and Matt Jackson, collectively known as The Young Bucks: Dear Nick and Matt, I know you guys are very methodical about your careers and despite all of the money you are making outside of the WWE, you’ve got an awful lot of people who are telling you […]
I’ve had a bit of a thought in the past week or so, thanks in part to some-thing Brian Pillman Jr. proposed in an interview. Pillman Jr.’s idea was that Curt Hawkins, who has had a losing streak going which may very well become a legend in its own right, should break that streak by beating… […]
The Fantasia International Film Festival is all set to return to Concordia University, The Cinémathèque Québécoise, and The McCord Museum for the 22nd edition of the festival, which takes place from July 12st to August 1st 2018 and marks the start of a HUGE two month festival of genre film that, fingers crossed, we’ll be […]
It’s been a while since we’ve had some-thing like Deadpool, that being an equalizer, of sorts. From Bugs Bunny to Austin Powers to Garry Shandling and so on and so forth, our modern society has always relied upon at least one person, fictional or actual, to provide a cathartic, critical look at the world we […]
Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling was originally named Tits and Ass Wrestling. You might already know that but, for those of you who are still in the dark, TNA Wrestling was never meant to be any-thing more than a fun lark for Jeff Jarrett and Vince Russo. Based on pushing the WWE’s Attitude Era to its […]
Funko have announced the release a new line of figures titled 5 Star – beginning the new Pop-esque line with a new series of 3” figures inspired by your favourite DC characters: Batman, Batgirl, Harley Quinn, The Joker and Poison Ivy. The 5 Star line retains the same personality and style of Funko’s popular Pop! […]
Star Wars is the ultimate introduction to the imagination, or, at least, that’s the way I feel about it. George Lucas shot for the stars, almost literally in fact, (if you consider blue screen to be reality), when he created this thick, simmering brew of knights, magic, pilots, pirates, gangsters, aliens and robots set in […]
