In case anyone is in Auckland tonight, and is a fan of Queen, IMAX has a showing 6.30pm tonight (Wednesday) and on Saturday (6.10pm) of the concert film Queen Budapest. www.eventcinemas.co.nz/movie/queen-...
Queen Budapest
On July 27, 1986, Queen performed the largest-ever stadium concert at the Népstadion in Budapest in front of 80,000 ecstatic fans. The concert was part of the famed Magic Tour, which was the last time...

Yes. The Titanic. Not the premier metaphor for man's hubris at all.

The entire crew at AEW does a wonderful job paying respect and tribute to their fallen comrades, but I wish they didn't have to be. #AEWDynamite

Read this article from my friend Lewis about Ben, the real person behind PAC. I was there for a decent amount of this, was at his first matches and was great seeing him, for it turns out, the last time at Les's funeral. Still in shock. cultaholic.com/posts/rememb...
Remembering My Friend Ben, The International Wrestling Superstar
To most of the rest of the world, he was PAC. Or Neville. Or ‘The Man That Gravity Forgot’. But, to me, he was simply Ben, the local lad I spent a great deal of time with during some of my most format...

I was delayed watching #AEWAllOut so was avoiding the internet/spoilers. Partway through I thought I saw a stupid click bait headline. But it wasn't. PAC had died. But he was just *there*, in another great match. As good as those shows are, I wish AEW didn't need to do another tribute show.

Fun Fact: Tommy Wiseau was actually considered something of a child prodigy. In school, he constantly got high marks.

COYOTE VS. ACME is great on the big screen. So glad it was freed from being shelved. Deserves to be seen. So much fun!
Andrade El Idolo vs Daniel Garcia for the #AEW National Championship. AKA The Pants vs The Dance. #AEWCollision
"I don't know the rules" says Switchblade Jay White about the NFL. Spoken like a New Zealander (complimentary).
Finally caught up on #AEWDynamite and Myles Hawkins made an impression. Not just on Tommaso Ciampa's knee either. Talk about maximising your minute(s) on TV, especially in a squash.
