Michael Cole began this week’s RAW with a sentence something like “we are only 50 days away, on this Road to WrestleMania”. 50 days. That’s a decent amount of time for WWE to put the hype machine behind the entire roster in order to assemble a fantastic card for their annual extravaganza. We have all […]
A day after the controversial and disappointing Royal Rumble and we learn that the live Monday Night RAW show from Hartford, Connecticut has been cancelled due to the historic storm that hit the North-west of the US, causing roadways to be closed and thus causing WWE to cancel. So, RAW was held at WWE headquarters […]
We are a few hours removed, as I write this, from the end of the 2015 Royal Rumble. I didn’t stay up to watch it live this year like I normally do because the booking for the show hasn’t interested me enough, and the matches weren’t exciting enough for me to stay awake until 4am […]

Watching the recap that comes […]

Let’s see if this episode of RAW, being promoted as a […]
I remember when the Hell in a Cell match truly shocked fans, when Mick Foley risked his body to make the match memorable and something truly special. Now with WWE: Hell in a Cell 2014 the pay-per-view features minimal use of the cage and for the most point is one of the lesser events of […]
As a fan of the WWE who has to write a reviews about their DVD/Blu-ray releases I end up watching a lot that I like, and also that I hate. The storylines, especially in 2014 have struggled and as we move into 2015 it feels the company is at a weak point, but this does […]
I am a Girls fan and proud of it, though with Girls: The Complete Third Season I have become somewhat annoyed, but I still remain a fan. The characters are reliably flaky and pretentious, but there is a strange reliability in that for the audience and more importantly there are some episodes in this season […]
When a season is proclaimed as the final of a series there are certain freedoms it is given, and high expectations from its audience. With Boardwalk Empire: The Complete Fifth Season we see the conclusion to the story of Enoch ‘Nucky’ Thompson (Steve Buscemi) in some episodes that are easily the best the show has […]

If there is one thing I know about myself it is that I am a cynic, so when I saw the teaser to the Christmas Doctor Who featuring Santa Claus it was a moment when I truly dreaded what was to come. I will always be a hardcore fan of the Doctor though and will […]
When The Fall ended last year it was inevitable that there would be a second series to at least conclude the story and for the killer to finally be brought to justice. Carrying on the story The Fall: Series Two is an intellectual battle, a lot like a game of chess, between the serial killer and female detective tasked […]
However depressing the nature of Nordic Noir is, you cannot argue that it has had a positive influence on the crime drama we see on television. The Missing is a new series recently show on the BBC in the UK (and now heading to DVD and Blu-ray) and the influence of Nordic Noir can be […]
