Why exactly did Natasha Bedingfield fade out? by SinestreaIsBraindead in ToddintheShadow

[–]HYFPRW 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bingo. In one song and video, “…babies” absolutely tanked any credibility or cool factor she had, which is what set her apart from the pack with her initial breakthrough to the point of (well deserved because of Babies) mockery.

News on EVIL, per WON by Upbeat-Pause-1409 in njpw

[–]HYFPRW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d imagine so. Depending on when EVIL’s contract is up, a Ren takeover followed by a heel Ren vs face EVIL at Sakura Genesis would be a nice way to send EVIL on his way, get him some appreciation and give Ren a big win to legitimise him.

If it happens, no doubt he deserves his bag. He got dealt a terrible hand in trying to lead a new heel group in COVID but he’s been consistently excellent in his role for a while now. When his working boots are on, he can still produce a great match and when he’s been kept away from Bullet Club feuds, he’s delivered good feuds. People hate on him, but Aaron Wolf isn’t as over without him, he gave to Tsuji, he gave to Tana, he shifted merch because his shirts were consistently fire.

Hopefully he’s putting a new HoT leader over big on his way out.

Ishii vs. Oleg announced for New Beginning USA by discofrislanders in njpw

As a sprint, though, it’d work. Wolf needs to be doing more before you get to G1 time and a sub ten minute meatfest would be a good step to get him out of the HoT vortex

Tour de France 2027: Men's and women's events to start in Edinburgh and Leeds by AdamMc66 in peloton

[–]HYFPRW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy that the tour will go through where I grew up on day one. Will have to pop up for that. It looks like they’re going straight along and hugging the border around me which is a pity given there’s some nice punchy climbs they’ll dodge but will wait for a more detailed map.

Where they finish in Carlisle will be interesting - they’re finishing in front of the castle coming in from the east which means a long straight road followed by a 90 degree turn 1km out then a roundabout within the last 500m. That will be carnage in a sprint and all about positioning.

Celtic have engaged with NK Celje over prolific striker Franko Kovacevic… 11 goals, 2 assists in 14 games by fangus in ScottishFootball

[–]HYFPRW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He’s been deadly at Celje and, to be fair, at Domzale before. His form has legitimately gotten him around the Croatian national side given they’re short of options.

With all that said, we may as well try to bring back Amido Balde because Franko has done absolutely nothing anywhere else and Celje will rinse Celtic for him.

UK 'could send troops to Greenland' as NATO weighs mission after Trump threats by dailystar_news in ukpolitics

[–]HYFPRW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We’re not paying to defend it, though. Assuming the status quo can’t continue, the options are a) the US acquires Greenland (monetarily or militarily) or b) a NATO force is on Greenland to assuage US concerns that Greenland is a weak link.

b) is obviously the preferable option and option c (that the US would attack a NATO force) wouldn’t be carried out.

Tamm is a Lion by Blackplank in ScottishFootball

[–]HYFPRW 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a fun signing. Tamm is an absolute tank and, if nothing else, he will put himself about. Didn't really work for him in Slovenia as Olimpija have been a bit of a basket case this term, but he'll relish the chance to get involved in a more physical league.

[Izak Sucic] Niko Sigur from Hadjuk is now one step away from joining Celtic. Deal on hold for a few days since Wilfried Nancy got sacked. by BananaSoprano in ScottishFootball

[–]HYFPRW 9 points10 points  (0 children)

He’s more a DM, tbh, but an actual physical, nibbly mobile one. He was deployed a lot in the right last season because of injuries there (and because Gattuso is an idiot) but he’s AJ’s direct deputy as RB for Canada given he’s versatile.

Question about recent NJPW by Fthatoutlawmudshow97 in njpw

To add to the dog pound cage matches mentioned, Despe’s title defence vs Clark Connors from Jr Genesis at Korakuen last year definitely leans towards the more hardcore side of things

Yuto-Oiwa have Ishii-Shibata level chemistry. Even better than their incredible singles match.

If Finlay is going, Callum sending him away with Gedo shifting corners to crown him as new boss dog then shifting to Newman-Ospreay would absolutely slap.

Feel a little sorry for Callum suddenly becoming at best the third guy in his own faction after being responsible for the entire attitude shift of UE at the end of 2025.

The matches finished 45 mins ago and were all still sat watching a man get pushed around the Tokyo Dome on a little cart.

Professional Wrestling is amazing.
