Ramblings of an Englishman

*Spoilers for Inazuma Eleven:Victory Road*  Man I guess all roads lead back to Inazuma Eleven. While my full thoughts on Victory Road will come likely at some point in the new year I wanted to make a quick stop to talk spoilers and future especially after the end of the story mode. As ever once the domestic tournament season is done we head to the international stage with Football Frontier International (FFI). There's been some leaks of the kit and badge so I wouldn't be shocked to see it as an expansion back later next year once the free updates for Ares & Orion come out. With that in mind we need to look towards what the team will be.  I've kept it for the moment to 16 although it may be more in the series with the bench rotating and locked per match and while their default positions are listed I think a few will chop and change as is what happens with FFI, in the first one we had Sakuma as a midfielder for large parts and most of the time Fubuki was back in defence a...

2025 was a year that wrestling happened. Yeah, that’s an introduction when you’ve done this now for three years are ran out of intros at two. You could say that writing that introduction hook isn’t my forte but what has been is the live attending of wresting shows. As ever the live experience have been fun and with a whole host of matches to choose from ranking a top 5 will be a difficult one. Thankfully this year I actually planned ahead to have everything ranked ahead of time it’s just the writing now. For your consideration, the following events shall be considered and of course spoilers.  22nd August: Revolution Pro Wrestling Global Wars UK 23rd August: Revolution Pro Wrestling 13th Anniversary Show 24th August: AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 5th October: Revolution Pro Wrestling Live in London 100 2nd November: Revolution Pro Wrestling Live in London 101 7th December: Revolution Pro Wrestling Live in London 102 Yes a record number of shows for the lazy, antisocial man that I am whi...

What do we have? Half a year before this show? Look I need to talk and talk now. Next August is the biggest night in British Wrestling History arguably since the pandemic as Revolution Pro Wrestling heads to Wembley Arena for their 14th anniversary show and man it’s already feeling like a big show. Yes, I already have my tickets but Wembley arena is a big venue with a big wrestling history and as such this needs to be a big show. The day before All In and you’d expect a lot of people to already be around Wembley the day RevPro take centre stage and as such they need to bring as many people in as possible. As such we need discuss the major issue for RevPro and that is how to get as many buts in as many seats.  But first, let us break down Wembley Arena for wrestling. A venue in the shadow of Wembley Stadium it has a big history of its own. It’s a unique venue and probably the only one that both Sting & Kurt Angle have won world titles in (WCW & TNA respectively). But not jus...
