As with anything in professional wresting, I find it hard to take these 'shoots' seriously. The amount of times I've watched or listened to a guy completely bury another worker or company (usually Triple H and WWE), and then end up working for them again a few years later, is laughable. But hey, anything for that $$$ I suppose. On that note, I just got through with Bill DeMott's book that came out in 2011, just before he was re-hired as the head trainer of NXT. Anyone else read it? Was quite good. In terms of the WWE doctors that Punk mentions, DeMott says in his book that he was having pain his neck and back, so WWE sent him to a doctor, who told him he needed surgery. When this got back to WWE, they sent him to another doctor, and another, until they found a doctor who said there was no need to operate. So I think I believe Punk what he says about the doctors, having now heard it from two sources.

Yep , that's Christian York. For sure.

Obviously this all comes down to personal opinion, but I was a little bored - I over exaggerated a little, as I enjoyed Ambrose/Wyatt, but I was still a little bored for the majority of the show, until the main event.

I have to disagree. If only 1/3rd of the show is "good", how can the whole show be "good"? If the majority of the show is average of below, but the main event is above average, then the show gets an average score (or so that's what TEW would tell us ). I recently watched the new Godzilla movie, and didn't like it, except the last half an hour. Liking the last half an hour didn't make a two hour long movie good. It annoyed me that they spent so much time on the "finish" of the movie that the rest of it was neglected and felt like filler. Same can be said for Survivor Series. If I'm bored for two hours of a three hour PPV, I do not see that as a success.

That's a nice looking skin Mammoth. Very clean. I love the console vibe to it, too.

I'd love too but I haven't watched in about two months I will whine about how we still don't have the Network here in the UK though!

Sorry, I made the mistake of not reading your previous comment properly. Just re-read your comment and some of what I said may have been off. My apologies.

Yeah, perhaps I was strecthing with my annuals comment.

The Thor Annual #1, which CM Punk is involved on, is a collection of 10 page stories, mostly from new writers. Are they all stealing work from those that are already established, or should we not allow new people to break into the industry, regardless of their backgrounds? There's also a huge difference between a pro-wrestler returning after a decade to win the title in his first swoop and stick around for a month or so and someone changing careers entirely. CM Punk isn't coming in at the top for a one shot deal pay, he's coming with the aim of making it a career, and let's not forget that he's writing part of an annual. An annual? I've been buying comics for almost 15 years and only once have I bothered with an annual, as they are usually (and will be in this case, too) non-cannon and just a way for writers to experiment. Let's not act like he's coming in and 'taking spots', as that spot was never meant for anyone else. New writers were always going to be on this project. Wrestling fans right now: "How dare they keep shoving the same wrestlers down our throats every week! They should let some of the newer guys take a shot!" "How dare they bring in these new writers at Marvel! The established writers should be front and centre, at all times!"

Great work on this Mammoth. I've updated the Mod Index to include the release thread of this.

I wouldn't quite say that. From what I've read this looks to end up being a long term gig - in other words, a job. So it's less a big pay day and more I a regular pay cheque.

Done.

All added. I've also updated some of the links where the threads have changed (ie version 2 thread is now replaced version 1, etc.)

I don't have the Sky Sports package as, quite frankly, I refuse to pay the price just so I can watch the odd football match and recorded Raw. I was looking forward to an On Demand service for WWE, but if it becomes a normal channel, I just won't bother with it at all.

Americans insist on removing the letter "u" from words that originally have the letter in. You also refer to chips as fries and crisps as chips. Strange folk I'm honestly a little gutted that I couldn't sign up for the Network tonight, but I know I can wait, hopefully it won't be too long a wait, though. A little explanation wouldn't have gone a miss, even if they just blamed it on technical difficulties. Ah well.

I may be wrong but I'm certain they've said that Gotham isn't a part of the same universe as Arrow and Flash, so any characters that appear in this and those series' aren't the same character.

I don't think Gotham is meant to be an action show. It's basically a police drama set in a comic book world. Even before the pilot I was expecting a police drama, and I enjoyed the first two shows. I don't think this is any cheesier than Arrow (which sometimes make me cringe), but I think you've gone into this show with false expectation. From the start they said it was about Jim Gordon coming to Gotham and his struggle with dirty cops, etc. of course there will be cheesy moments as it's based on a comic book, but overall, yeah, it's a police drama, not an action show.

The thread is in need of a major update, so I will add these (and other new mods) in the coming days.

I wish this forum had a 'Like' button feature.

Today's Deals - (19th September, 2014) ** Deals were in place at time of posting, ordered by price ** Sorry I didn't post yesterday, I was busy. I don't think I'll do this at the weekends as that's family time in my household, so I'll be with my wife and daughter.

I didn't know about the Workshop support, I'm going to go check that out now!

I agree, I already own it, it's a really good game. Also, I included the RPG Maker titles, even though they aren't games. For that cut in price I thought it was well worth sharing them, especially in a creative community like this.
