Bernie Sanders had all the goods. If anything he's Daniel Bryan. Over here we have the same thing with Jeremy Corbyn even down to the cannibalistic nature of his own party to deny a new, exciting era led by a vegetarian. (Disclaimer: I'm massively biased as I'm a socialist. #VotePlaid)

I've already moaned about him on the UKFF, but as I sit here on my barstool in the majestic Duke of Wellington in Ruabon, I'll say it again. That boss eyed shit house Shawn Michaels

How smacked off his tits was Jeff Hardy to not realise the difference between a man he worked with for 4 years and a man who looks like a baby Lou Ferrigno and threw one up his brother's ex? Thank god for those WWE Part Time Test Free contracts, eh?

Sasha Banks really needs to calm down a bit. She nearly killed herself on that suicide dive.

The new Developmentally Speaking with Rob Naylor and Matt Sydal is super awkward. You can't take your eyes off it though.

Totally with you on the Italy/Belgium front - loved that classic Italian performance and Belgium are basically England circa 2006 - 08 - much vaunted individual reputations basically built on the fact they play in the Premier League. Was impressed by Wales in the main on Sat, although I thought after Slovakia scored, they looked the more likely. The fact Slovakia have just beaten Russia shows what a good result that was. I agree, thought Ramsey was arguably the worst performer which is saying something about the standards some of the others performed at. As a Crystal Palace fan, was really happy to see Jonny Williams play so well, given he's barely been given a game for us in the past two years. With three Palace players in the Welsh squad I'm looking out for them, although hoping that Hennessey brings his Palace form for much of this season into the game with England tomorrow! Oh, and the Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko would make a brilliant heel manager for Rusev. Joniesta is awesome, though I think he has Nwanko Kanu birth certificate issues, he's never 22. Anyway, I could hit one of the "I conquered the crystal maze" consolation prizes with my cock right now and cut it in two. Probably the greatest Welsh performance I've ever seen, especially on the back of Thursday. And then to finish top? Double hard on. Also, loving how the much maligned in the Premier Joe Allen has quietly been one of the finest players in the tournament so far.

The Grauniad made light of this last week in a comic strip. He's about 6'1? 6'2? He should be a towering presence around the 6 yarder for set pieces. Not taking them

A day after I post that the Welsh fans have been getting plaudits int the press, they would fucking go and take on Russia in a handicap match, tagging up with our neighbours to the east.

Thoughts on the Euro's so far anyone? Personally, as a Welshman, I'm quite pleased. The poor performances of Aaron Ramsey and Gareth Bale on Saturday in a 2-1 victory against a team that's turned over some big names as of late has really geed me up, putting to bed the "One man team" myth Wales have been carrying around. Gareth Bale doesn't play center half, but we only conceded 4 and kept 6 clean sheets in the group stage. Now the world at large has seen that. Also, our fans behaviour has been impeccable. Real ambassadorial stuff. Good to see Italy derail the Belguim bollocks train today.

Other than Jason Prime it looks like several of the same people who work loads of the other big UK companies to me. I'm not exactly overcome with enthusiasm for what I can see in a few other places. Much of a muchness with the added bonus of What Culture's anti-comedy.

TXW made Rob Terry look like Jesus. It's a real shame people didn't give a fuck about BRITWRES~ in 2009 when TXW was probably the most entertaining indy in the world.

I've really gone off Jim Cornette as he's gone from Insightful Storytelling Historian to Rent-A-Rant with his typical targets. He's spent so long bagging on Russo ad nauseam that he's actually close to making Russo a blue eye in my eyes out of spite. Some of my favourite shoot interviewees have been out of left field. For example, I absolutely love John Nord's, and Kevin Kelly (commentator) is a great watch.

Weeds was the dog's bollocks, however Orange was unmitigated shite. So hopefully Kohan makes a glorious return to the standards of Weeds first 3 seasons.

I was in disgust at that Mia Yim thing until I realised she pulls exactly the same literal face I do whenever my friends go on about superheroes and comic books and that. So yeah. I love her now.

He normally does All Star in the summers, at least did the last couple of years before he retired. So him vs Dean Allmark again for £7? Yes please.

I went to 1PW's first ever show at the Doncaster Dome, that was hell. About 5 hours of it, including a (dire) 50 minute Al Snow vs Steve Corino match for the AWA (Gagner) title. I love wrestling, but I also love a great film, or a quality gig. But I don't want to spend all day at them, so nor would I wrestling. With it being an emotional medium, you're drained by 2-3 hours. I'd rather leave on a high wanting more, than be sitting down looking at my watch and gagging for a slash because I don't want to miss the finish, then find out there's another couple of matches after it.

I enjoy having them. 4 a day is just right, as Goldilocks said.

2 hours or so is enough for me if I'm there, 3 hours at home is fine as I can pause it and go for a dump, or make a cup of tea, or go into the garden for a fag or something. 3 hours would probably be doable in person if they had an intermission, so I can go for a dump, buy cup of tea, or go into the smoking area for a fag. I mean, how long was wrestlemania this year? I watched it in the Bierkeller in Liverpool and I swear it was, what, about 5 hours? I was well ready for home a good two hours before then and I was totally drained by the time we even got as far as Hell in a Cell, and that just match killed the show completely dead for me. Watching two old men lying about selling for 30 minutes at about 3:30am does not a good match make.

What's the consensus on Mike Shaw? I really enjoy his Norman the Lunatic run until Trucker Norm, Bastion Booger is what it is, and admittedly I've never properly seen much Makhan Singh, but he seems pretty serviceable enough just going from his Lunatic stuff. Quite a lot of fun to watch in fact. So aye, what's the craic on him?

Is that What Culture Wrestling? I'm dreading that as:- A) What Culture is shit and miserably unfunny and It's just probably going to be another import laden indy which doesn't really feel like British wrestling with the same core of 10-15 workers who now seemingly work everywhere (Though that's no fault of their own. Talent is talent, and their talent is certainly formidable. Just be nice to see some new faces). And the lack of "Britishness" in a lot of the wrestling over here annoys me.

Banging Welsh Wrestling show in Crewe tonight (Obviously it wasn't branded as Welsh Wrestling, as Crewe isn't in Wales). 1. Eddie Ryan d. Stevie Starr. You may or may not remember Stevie Starr in NXT as Gavin Reid. He had a bout vs Roman Reigns on there. 2. James Mason d. Sterling Gold Esq. Sterling Gold comes out to the theme off The South Bank Show and wrestles in Jodhpurs. So it's my new favourite gimmick. 3. Robbie Dynamite d. Dean Allmark. the usual amazing match out of the two. 4. Frankie Sloan d. Tagori. This one was a lot of fun. Quality comedy match. The mysterious masked man Tagori is hilarious. 5. Starr/Allmark d. Dynamite/Ryan. Fantastic tag main event. Hopefully some will be online soon, as some was taped - albeit handheld.

Honky Tonk Man in WCW always just felt really surreal

I love Dr D. Mainly for the promos. There's one on youtube where he wears a T-shirt with a swastika on it, accuses Jerry Lawler of having AIDS, then claimed to have rogered Lawler's and Bruiser Brody's wives. He's just so pro wrestling.

He's a WWE ref now.

Springsteen is God. Seeing him in the Etihad later this month. But yeah, he certainly henched up for the mid 80s.
