    Yeah, Reigns is the top babyface right now so it makes sense he'll win. I think Dean will start to show signs of "always the bridesmaid" during that match though. Could make it interesting when Seth Rollins comes back. Agree that Brock vs Bray is a good match for Wrestlemania and will get set up officially at Fastlane.
  2. Hmm, could go some lager round about now...
  3. I'll stick to Das Boot I think :)
  4. Only heard six of those records (and three of them were Courtney Barrett). Either Australia or I are uncool.
  5. I think it was either The Fox and the Hound or ET.
  6. Is that the same U96 who did Das Boot in 1992?

    I guess they could rely on him to be "ring-filler" - a guy who has been in there countless times before and knows how to survive. There's definitely certain roles in the Rumble, keeping it looking like a melee but in a bland way so the audience focusses on the set pieces when the come up. You always know when someone is about to go out though, as they suddenly start getting all offensive and propelling themselves off the ropes.
  8. I'm just being grumpy. I was in my teens for the last four and so they were never going to excite me. Of the four, Aladdin is the best, then the Lion King, then the Little Mermaid and I really can't understand the love for Beauty and the Beast. The Jungle Book was the one we always wanted to get re-released in the cinemas during the summer when I was really wee. Dunno how you lot can get rid of it!
  9. Another classic robbed by the 1990s kids. AIW is actually pretty true to the book (just grabs a good but from Through the Looking Glass too and drops characters such as the Duchess and the pig). Looks like another Classic about to leave early - laughable.

    Quite enjoyed it this year. Some good surprises (Ambrose left til last, Strowman throwing out Kane and the Big Show) and some inevitabilities (Triple H winning, Wyatts dealing with Lesnar) done well. Could have done without Jericho's long run (why not someone new?), the utterly pointless dark match that gave Swagger and Henry 45 seconds in total and the crowd wetting themselves over AJ Styles.

    Yeah, I guess so. I'm not the kind of person it clicks with...but then very few of the talent show staples do.

    An average song done best by Tracy Chapman. Never understood why it is so highly thought of (or so marketable).
  13. I prefer it to Dreamer but I really hate Dreamer. So it's a little like preferring a Chinese burn to a kick in the balls.
  14. Beauty and the Beast should have gone ages ago.
  15. Same here, unless the kids on the Dunblane single count.

    I thought Big Show had been confirmed as number 1 in the Rumble? So he was just the first to declare he was entering? I wish these wrestling news websites would get their facts right in that case. But I assumed Reigns would be number 2 anyway. That's nicely unoriginal from the WWE once again. What this means is that Reigns will be there the whole way through and will probably keep clearing the ring just so he gets a few rest breaks. I really wish they wouldn't do this, it makes the 30 man match about no more than a handful of participants in the end. At least 20 wrestlers end up being eliminated practically as soon as they enter.
  17. That's just plain weird! Nowhere else but Buzzjack could Return of the Jedi poll higher than A New Hope ;)
  18. Should be top 3. Can't understand why everyone turned on it last time round.
  19. Aw, I really like Bowie's debut. Earthling for me - just don't think it worked when he went all D&B.
  20. Son of a Gun was a great record. TNIWD was much cheesier in sound but fit the time I guess.
  21. A great track. Curve's best of LP is really worth getting hold of. :)
  22. Second that one! The crowd doing that strange dance that involves alternatively putting your fingers in the air in time to music at the darts. Formula one in general. Drunks shouting during the Australian Tennis Open.
  23. Sorry, can't remember the outer two and I didn't like the others. Little Wonder has always annoyed me.
  24. Aha, thanks for that. It all makes sense now. In fact, you could probably add on a few points to it now that I know why :)
  25. I can't place the song, but do remember the name.
