@Ace109610 TK has done a great job of building an upper mid card which can be cycled into world title challenges without feeling out of place against genuinely one of the best top of the card rosters ever assembled

Not unpopular but absolutely need to cut a few titles though

[Phil @philMcCallum]

@thraggin @tgqchairman Efficient is an interesting word for it

[Phil @philMcCallum]

@butwhyalyssa @LobCityGimmick Thing is if Jericho had adopted the Sting schedule a few years into AEW he'd have been universally adored by the fanbase

Ended up completely over exposed

[Phil @philMcCallum]

@ShaneHelmsCom With a question mark over who's side he was on and if Montreal was all it seemed

[Phil @philMcCallum]

@acceptable_19 @akumaaalol It's difficult to be overly critical in that due to the Cole injury all the pay off to what they were building was lost and so the tail end of his reign became a book on the fly job

With the babyface top end of the roster so strong this has the potential to be incredible

[Phil @philMcCallum]

@marcusdavis904 TK clearly has a long term plan for why he didn't want MJF to pin Hangman likely due to a future match up

@PostFromProtest @superTV247 So as it's Christmas I'll level with you

Complete and utter sarcasm from me here

The Skinner story has been my favourite story of the year for the sheer stupidity of the bloke and how its seemingly completely blown up in his face

Have a great Christmas Postcards!

@PostFromProtest @superTV247 Doesn't matter

Big Tom would have pulled them in 💪💪

Why Britain’s crisis doesn’t add up: The numbers tell a different story

Despite the constant talk of crisis, Britain’s economy isn’t in as bad a shape as people think. The numbers show growth, falling inflation and rising wages. But the gap between these facts and public perception is growing.

1. The economy is growing, even if slowly, inflation’s coming down and wages are up by 4.4%. So, in theory, we’re doing okay. But there's a gap between the statistics and the public mood. People aren’t feeling it.

2. When you look deeper, unemployment’s at 5.1%, and taxes, though high, are still around the OECD average. Debt is lower than many other major economies. Yet, despite this, we’re in a state of collective pessimism.

3. The issue is more than just the economy. It’s a national sense of unease. There's a disconnect between the reality of our situation and how we perceive it. And simply trying to paint a positive picture won’t solve it.

4. The Labour government is making progress. Trade deals, major infrastructure projects like Heathrow, mini nuclear reactors and a new film studio in Hertfordshire. They're even building ships for the Navy. Yet, these efforts often get overshadowed by negative narratives.

5. The problem goes beyond government messaging. It’s about perception and trust. People feel stuck in a cycle of bad news, even when there are positive developments happening beneath the surface.

6. The solution isn’t about pretending everything’s fine. It’s about shifting the national mindset and making sure the good news resonates. A country with this much potential shouldn’t be stuck in a state of constant crisis.

The key takeaway is simple. Unless we address the psychological side of our national mood, we’ll continue seeing the same cycle of dissatisfaction, no matter the actual progress. We need a reset, not just politically, but culturally too.

@LobCityGimmick Having a plastic bag put over your head and beaten down by the new heel super group vs Mr "never give up" smiling as he taps out

Completely comparable 🤣

[Phil @philMcCallum]

@WrestleFeatures Realistically you can't include HHH as he'd still done a few if not for his heart issues. Not sure about Bret as can't remember what that was. Although Austin beat Owens lets be honest his actual retirement was Rock at Mania 19

The problem for me wasn't Cena losing but how

[Phil @philMcCallum]

@KXNGAO In an American promotion on a show taking place in the UK. God I love Tony Khan

[Phil @philMcCallum]

@BackupHangman My issue with Cena was the switch to Marine. Essentially everything that made him over replaced with a really generic cookie cutter babyface

Loved his run up until Mania 21 and enjoyed bits and pieces afterwards (Rock feud being a huge highlight)

[Phil @philMcCallum]

@jonlis1 He doesn't want it to go away though imo

It allows them to focus conversation on this and not Nathan Gill, the house in Clacton or Crypto dononation

His followers can instead shout about how allegations coming forward from 50 years ago which is his percieved out of this

[Phil @philMcCallum]

@Clainy6 The worst thing is they're using this "Farage was a racist at school" story as a complete distraction from Nathan Gill/Russia and crypto donations

Gives reform something to be up in arms about and distract the conversation

[Phil @philMcCallum]

@WrestlingWYTSI @DrainBamager @JC1986_ ECW, WCW and LU are three phemonal promotions

Beauty of pro wrestling is it's all subjective and actually the scene is big enough that should be something out there for everyone 👍

[Phil @philMcCallum]

@WrestlingWYTSI @DrainBamager @JC1986_ That's fair and can certainly appreciate the AEW style isn't for everyone. I think ultimately he books what he's a fan of ie more focus matches/ecw style physicality and that longer story arch (which at times is stretched too far). Rather that than a WWELite personally though 🤷‍♂️

[Phil @philMcCallum]

@WrestlingWYTSI @DrainBamager @JC1986_ May I ask why?
