Pray tell, how should the oiks act?
That's my depressed millennial son-of-a-Cowboy.
Depression is the fucking worse, it is argubally the biggest killer of men, and one of the biggest for women, under 40.
Try and remember that whatever the black dog is telling you, it's lying to you. You are valued. You are loved. People do care. They will listen. You are not alone.
Agree with this being the start of the end of Toni and Mariah, but while I really want Hayter to be back for Wembley, I'm hoping we see Mariah win the Owen, Toni to think that makes her safe and they will have an easy match, and Mariah "screws" her.
There are so many matches on this card which can go either way, I reckon there is a strong chance that every single pick is wrong, haha.

Charlie, keep your damn hands off my champion! 0121!
What other presidential candidate attempted an insurrection?
If Trump gets a second term then America is truly lost.
For a video with 0 gore, that's horrific.
Good for them, really happy to see them finally being able to be their true selves.
Trans rights are human rights.
True, very true, Christian is a much better father than Nick Wayne's deadbeat dad.
Wait a fucking second, they didn't even have the show in Edinburgh?!
There isn't even a fucking castle in Glasgow!
Clash 50 miles from the Castle.

- #1 Contender scramble match - to face Leon Slater at Thunderstruck 2 (13th July 2024)
This match is for NORTH's Ultraviolent Championship, and is from last year's Thunderstruck event, which is the biggest crowd so far with ~700 attendees.
If the venue looks familiar, it's because it's in the Walker Dome, where Impact/TNA held Turning Point last year.
...but today, on International Workers' / Labour Day, what is your excuse to not join up?

Self-aware silly wrestling is my favourite type of wrestling, and this was the pre-show match before All Roads Lead North a few months ago.
To paraphrase a poet, you can keep your 5* classics, I just want big meaty men slapping meat, and draining cans.
This may be the most wholesome wrestling thing I've ever seen.
Get your picks in, and show how off the mark you are!

A match from the North Vault for the title, Liam Slater defends against surprise opponent Gabriel Kidd in Kidd's second apparence in North since 2019.
"First you steal my glorious idea to lash Cody.
Now you try to cop art from my ex.
I’m a fan.
But please Leave me be, Dewey."
Before the world ended, the future King of the Bums decided to pop over to a small mining town north of London to fight the resident Sick Boy, and beat the absolute shit out of each other.
After the match, I’m going to tell him the only thing there’s left to say: Thank you.

This is from North's December show, and is absolutely incredible.
Do yourself a favour and watch it.
🎶 Wheeler's got a gun 🎶
I'm so ridiculously hyped for this match, it's going to be incredible.
Oku has been on the Jericho cruise this week, where he's beaten Mike Bailey, Johnny TV Cruise, and Matt Cardona to become to new Oceanic Champion.
He's also the current RevPro Undisputed British Heavyweight Championship - the belt Ospreay made famous - although, as to being the undisputed title for all of Britain, well Slater (and everyone north of Watford) would have a thing or two to say about that.
I'll admit I have not watched the Rumble this year so I don't know for certain, but I'm posting this because it feels like a pretty even handed take from a self-confessed AEW mark.
The last line - just because something isn't for me, doesn't mean it isn't for you - is very good advice.
