Ramblings of an Englishman

Spoilers for Spider-Man No Way Home and potential spoilers for Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness and other future Marvel shows and films  Marvel Phase four finally got a kick in the right direction. While I really enjoyed Shang-Chi a so so Black Widow film and the divisiveness of The Eternals meant that we were for sure on a comedown from Endgame film wise and that was always going to be the case. Ignoring what are smaller stories for the TV shows (which I do enjoy all of them some more then others) the big screen . However, following Spider-Man No Way Home I think people will be changing their mind on it. While the story and characters of Shang-Chi shouldn't be slept on Spider-Man brings a big concept to the big screen in the multiverse.  Between the villains and the Spider-Men of the Sam Raimi and Mark Webb universes we are moving ahead with another massive idea one which can raise the half universe ending stakes of Thanos in Multiversal domination. It opens a lot ...

AEW Dynamite Holiday Bash 2021 22nd December it was during the match between Orange Cassidy and Adam Cole that the anticipated debut of Kyle O'Reilly reuniting with Bobby Fish & Adam Cole just in a different brand that uses black and gold colours. When AEW made their debut on TNT it was met with competition from WWE and their third brand, the black and gold of NXT. The USA Networks newest wrestling show very much revolved around their top stable the Undisputed Era who at one point held all the gold. The North American Champion Roderick Strong, The NXT Tag Team Champions Bobby Fish & Kyle O'Reilly and the main main in the middle of his 403 day reign as NXT Champion in Adam Cole. You'd think that seeing three of these men who were some of the centre points of WWE's retaliation to the new wrestling show on the block on the show they were sent out to undermine would be impossible. But I think it speaks to something bigger. NXT 1.0 for ease of saying was a great deve...

Hello and welcome back to the final part of a trilogy going over a concept for a series of Inazuma Eleven, set roughly around 10-15 past GO Galaxy. The plot is based around a company called XGen wanting to control football in Japan through players under their control going to teams all over the country to spread their values as the teams best players, if all the best players in Japan regardless of team and nationality are part of XGen they can get control. The only thing standing in their way now is Raimon and their team.

As we get closer and closer to the end of this year in all forms of media time looks towards 2022 and beyond. When it comes to wrestling it's a case of looking to book towards the people who will be your next champion as well as build the reigns of those currently. I thought I'd make some predictions in regards to AEW and the future that awaits. I believe now that post Full Gear the champions are set to go into the new year are in place so I want to look at who I feel will be the one's to dethrone those currently in possession of the four active championship belts. For the record I won't be covering the TBS title in this. Let's get a first champion before discussing the second. Please not while this is being posted in December  AEW Tag Team Championship - Next Champions: Santana & Ortiz AEW has a stacked tag team division so you could argue this is the hardest one to call. With a plethora of talent in the tag team division it's hard to narrow down which team...

Hello and allow to be preface this with what you are about to read as my most ambitious and what I can say is unknown in parts. If the title wasn't enough of a giveaway I will be attempting to draft, write and pitch what I would do for a full season (or two) if I was given the reigns of Inazuma Eleven. Please be aware this will follow not only my ideas of football but what I have liked about Inazuma Eleven and what I haven't. With respect to this I can say this will be grounded on Earth no space and time used just traditional Inazuma Eleven a tournament with all the teams human. In this initial part I want to cover the main story in an overview as well as going into the Raimon teams main characters and the set up of the season before the first official match.  Looking at the timeline for what I want to do with the character I have chosen to set this either 10 or 20 years following Galaxy, I want to keep it in track with being able to reference that series and the games played ...
