Jaws 1975 by AverageMansReviews

Jaws 1975 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time

Warning: there is animal feeding/animal cruelty/decapitation/burning/shooting/medical

Amity Island: basically; we have these three men that are sent out of this town with one mission to kill a killer shark; first up we have APD Chief Martin Brody [Roy Scheider:] a new chief into these parts from the New York, that has brought his family with him into this beach town. Followed by the captain of this vessel ORCA; Captain Quint [Robert Shaw:] he has a $10,000 contract to dispose of this killer shark, this individual has a slightly slightly unsettling aura around him, which isn't too surprising considering he is an ex-Navy person that served on the USS Indianapolis and on a very brief sidenote his back story is based on real-life events and I will put the real-life film review as the last thing in this content USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage 2016. Finally we have the science guy out of this trio Matthew "Matt" Hooper [Richard Dreyfuss:] he is a oceanographer, it works for the Oceangraphical Institute sharks are his passion and within a few moments of him entering the film, it is easy to see that now and again he is going to bring a pinch of comical relief with either a sensible or serious tone, as I am paraphrasing here; APD Chief Brody asks him to inform these people that there are too many people in that vessel, with them not listening Hopper asks them do you know of a good restaurant round here and one of the men shouted back yes you're looking at it [in reference to the waters and fishing] with everyone laughing Hopper turns his back to them and says they are going to die.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 124 minutes film is good, mainly thanks to the work of the art in one way or another; John Williams composer/conductor "Jaws – Main Title" he does so much to give this great white shark defined personality and in conjunction with the physical presentation of this feeding machine; which is of identical impeccable standard [I will make reference to the framework and pacing later on in this content,] you see most of these action sequences until the later stages are built upon the thriller outlay, so it builds things up until it is time to strike or his victims are just about lucky enough to get away and even when we are seeing the devastation we don't see too much [ when I say we don't see too much,] I mean compared to what we witness much later on, it still uses the thriller presentation in the carnage; likewise the art in these action sequences throughout this film really do have a faultless execution; for an example later on we get to see how this great white shark tries to take care of business, we have Hopper in this shark cage and things don't exactly go according to plan as this great white shark eventually breaks in.

Character developments and performances; in a nutshell to begin with the character developments and performances of this cast are all good, but the trio of characters and performers I have already mentioned in this content, as you can already tell by their opening paragraph, there is a lot to work with here, build chemistry and be the driving force behind this film, I mean whilst this film is a little bit quiet to begin with whenever they are on-screen in any either individual or combination they can keep things progressing and engageable until the scratching of the blackboard by Captain Quint scene and then it naturally just click through the gears.

This film receives: 10/10, this film is top-notch entertainment; this is one of those films that you need to see once in a lifetime, as the artistry as I have already referenced in one way or another it off the most highest quality and because of this, yes this film was released in 1975 but it hasn't really aged and for the rest and say this film is based in the 1970's. This film also has awards accredited to its name 15 Winners that includes Academy Awards, USA 1976 Oscars  Best Sound Robert L. Hoyt Roger Heman Jr.Earl Madery John R. Carter, Best Film Editing Verna Fields and Best Music, Original Dramatic Score John Williams. 20 Nominees that includes from the same award ceremony/event Best Picture Richard D. Zanuck David Brown. USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage 2016 Link https://averagemansreviews2017.blogspot.com/2020/11/uss-indianapolis-men-of-courage-2016-by.html

The Beekeeper 2024 by AverageMansReviews

The Beekeeper 2024 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/shooting/stabbing/impaling/cutting/drugs/burning/torture/suicide/decapitation/vehicles crashing/breaking/electrocution/animal cruelty

Unite Data Group: briefly; this is one of the businesses controlled by Derek Danforth [Josh Hutchinson:] a individual that is high up in society thanks to his parents, that runs this internet banking scam. That eventually one day crosses the wrong person Adam Clay [Jason Statham:] he is a beekeeper a every day beekeeper, but he is also a retired beekeeper in the sense of this secret agency that basically redresses the of things, if you have one of these people coming for you; you are dead.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 105 minutes film is good; it does use one of those action film outlays that I haven't seen used for some time, but adapted/updated to incorporate sometimes it darker tone and if you are a fan of those one example action packed films starring Jean-Claude Van Damme from somewhere around the 1990's where it now and again we have this blend of action mixed with a bit of comedy; such as in this film [rough description;] we have our lead character Clay attaching this other character to this vehicle via this long strap, so when Clay puts this vehicle in drive and off the bridge this other person goes off connected to it and here is the funny part the fake body that they use to create this moment looks really fake and hearing his voice coming from it, I don't know if this was intentional or not, but let's just go with it.

Character developments and performances; on both counts they are solidly good versions of what they are meant to be; but now we have to talk about the two that really stood out; Jason Statham as Adam Clay; his whole being is; protect the hive and doing what is necessary, it is an interesting, well thought out and executed concept and then we have Jeremy Irons as Wallace Westwyld: he is an ex-Director of the CIA, but nowadays has the unfortunate duty of keeping an eye on Derek, making sure whenever he screws up fix the problem or problems and keep the Danforth family business going; Danforth Enterprises.

This film receives: 6/10, this film is good; as you can see/read this film has positives to it, especially if you are a fan of Jason Statham and/or Jeremy Irons.

Reactionary To The Wrestling News of: John Cena, 46 Reveals he plans to retire from wrestling at 50 by AverageMansReviews

Reactionary To The Wrestling News of: John Cena, 46 Reveals he plans to retire from wrestling at 50 by AverageMansReviews

John Cena's comments on retirement: here is a rough transcript, I say rough just because it gives me a little window of error to work with. On Entertainment Tonight [Saturday 27/01/2024] when asked about the possibility of retirement? He responded " That's not a may be, that times is gonna come and it's gonna come soon."He added " I never wanted to go out there, just for the sake of going out there, I'm gonna be 47 this year I feel great, but I know what it takes to be a WWE performer night in and night out and I don't ever wanna do is go out there and do it, to do it I wanna have the passion, the same passion as the fan base and I wanna give them exactly what they give me." He concluded " the mile or on the automator says hey that's gotta be done before fifty."

I mean no disrespect intended: but and? No seriously and? I mean I am not disrespecting him for his wrestling, I mean if he wants to do that cool, no problem. But I do have a problem with him milking it, I mean let's be honest for about a year or somewhere around here, he has been indicating something to the effect of his time is running out? So by my calculation when it is all said and done that would be 5 years of him edging towards retiring/retirement and potentially saying his time is running out. I may be on my own here in this opinion or at minimum have enough grapefruits to say it, having roughly 5 years of this garbage is just too much. Don't get me wrong it is usually in some cases, but not in all cases to have a farewell tour in the last year.

The only reason I see him announcing it now is so he can milk it for every drop, unless he intends to wrestle a little bit more frequently and put in more time to the WWE? But seeing his previous work with Austin Theory [WrestleMania 39/2023: Night 1 Singles Match for Theory's WWE United States Championship] which looking over my content I gave this match a 5/10 Wasted: John Cena [with Make-A-Wish kids] vs. Champ Austin Theory; Singles Match for the WWE United States Championship at Wrestlemania 39/2023: Night 1 - Spoilers Alarm! Link https://averagemansreviews2017.blogspot.com/2023/04/wasted-john-cena-with-make-wish-kids-vs.html and when we had John Cena vs. The Bloodline's Solo Sikoa; Singles Match [WWE Crown Jewel 2023] which likewise I looked over my previous content this got given 2/10 Wasted: John Cena vs. The Bloodline's Solo Sikoa; Singles Match at WWE Crown Jewel 2023 - Spoilers Alarm! Link https://averagemansreviews2017.blogspot.com/2023/11/wasted-john-cena-vs-bloodlines-solo.html and yes for those younger wrestling fans I know, I know Cena has gotten to the stage of his career that/part time contract where sometimes or in this case a lot of the time he is meant to put over the younger talent, but you can still have good matches and lose and incidentally both of these wrestlers that he has wrestled lately haven't exactly gone to bigger and better things, in fact they have gone backwards, which I know isn't his fault. But what is the point of having Cena on the card wrestling if he doesn't give it at minimum a good performance and away from Cena, what is the point is younger talent having worked with Cena to their not move on slightly, building momentum and so on and so forth?

I know Sting had that lengthy absence due to injury in 2016 to 2020 and then made his return to wrestling in AEW and now sadly yet properly retiring on Sunday 03/03/2024 at AEW Revolutions at the age of 64. My point here being his passion and willingness to still put in a good match is still there, I know some of you hard-core WWE fan base are going to happily point out, that he has had a feeling steps, but his passion is still there and I should imagine as I have openly said he could still probably go for a couple of more years, but he is probably taking the right time to bow out on a high, meaning he probably feels it in the morning but he is still able to move around and I would like to think that AEW would put him on a retainer contract, because yes retire from in ring competition. But I wouldn't like him not to do something in wrestling, just to keep his toe involved considering this is being his life for many decades.

But back to my original topic; the reason why I brought up Sting, is because if Cena is going to call it today in roughly 4 years/3 years plus more in months time, when you show up instead of just giving us passion enthusiastic promos, take these kids to the woodshed and give them a hard lesson of wrestling, because harder the lesson, the more you make them look into the present or/and future stars of this industry even if they end up beating you, because Sting said this once to a live crowd in recent times about fans can tell when someone is phoning it in that is where I am with Cena [even though basically in his comments he doesn't want to be one of those guys, he is already one of those guys that for the sake of it go out there and his comment about being a WWE performer night in and night out, quite frankly I didn't like this comment, because it isn't exactly precise anymore, yes he knows, but he hasn't been full-time since 2018 so that is 6 years and counting, you don't take more damage on the body due to repetitive not wrestling, okay you may feel, it's getting harder to get in wrestling shape, I mean for those people that don't know, there is being fit and then there is being wrestling fit, which is something completely different, why didn't he come out and say, I know what it is like to be wrestling fit, for now I can still do it, but not for much longer.] I am not expecting him roll back the years, to his prime but at least give us a "Medium-Size John Match" instead of "Big Match John."

Or in your final year do something fun, insane and that everyone will remember show up at many wrestling promotions as you possibly can, so the following year you can publish a where's Wally book of yourself, sometimes wrestling, sometimes just doing a promo, sometimes in this segment on commentary, sometimes being the ring announcer or anything just in the crowd, hell you could even just walk in the background, basically anything is possible and before I receive backlash I just want to make it obvious, I don't expect him to wrestle that much, hence why I have made it obvious that you could just show up anywhere and do anything, or if he doesn't want to do a book, he could make it into a documentary/comedy and if you're wondering about is WWE contract, I would have him show up at the WWE Royal Rumble in the Men's Royal Rumble where he says if he doesn't win you will leave the WWE, make his final appearance there and then in his contract so he could move around the wrestling industry.

Reactionary To The Wrestling News of: The Lawsuit; Grant, McMahon, John Laminitis and the WWE by AverageMansReviews

Related Content: Reactionary To The Wrestling News of: The Wall Street Journal the new lawsuit against Mr McMahon, John Laminitis and the WWE filed by Janel Grant on Thursday 25/01/2024 Link https://averagemansreviews2017.blogspot.com/2024/01/reactionary-to-wrestling-news-of-wall.html

Warning: there will be references to real life and I have chosen to do things this way, simply based on the facts there is so much going on and I have so much other content to produce, so I will just some put things in bullet point form to somewhat speed this up a little.

Thursday 25/01/2024:

* Attorney Ann Challis representing Janel Gray had indicated that her client; spoke about accountability for those WWE executives that sexual assault and sexually trafficked my client, as well as the organisation that facilitated and turned a blind eye to the abuse and then swept under the rug. She is private and courageous, which has suffered deeply at the hands of Mr. McMahon and Mr. Laminitis, her client hopes with this lawsuit it prevents other women from being victimised. The organisation [WWE] is aware of Mr. McMahon's history depraved behaviour and its time that they took responsibility for misconduct for its leader.

* TKO: basically said Mr McMahon has no control over TKO, including there overseeing of the day-to-day running of WWE, whilst this matter predates our basically before they had anything to do with the WWE, they take Grant's horrific allegations very seriously and addressing this matter internally

* A representative for Mr. McMahon denies these claims calling this claim a vindictive distortion of the truth and he will defend himself vigourously

* Report that Brock Lesnar was scheduled to make an appearance tonight and WWE Royal Rumble, but has been pulled due to being indirectly described in this lawsuit.

* However TKO cannot fire Mr. McMahon, the only thing is he either resigns or they could have worked with him resigning

* Slim Jim's sponsorship pulled by Slim Jim

* Mr. McMahon tenders resignation

* Slim Jim's sponsorship put back [I don't know if it was Friday night or Saturday, but let's be fair to myself all I am trying to do is some form of chronological order.]

Saturday 27/01/2024:

* Grants' attorney appears on TV on Crime Fix; Grant was physically and mentally destroyed, what she alleges that Mr. McMahon had done to her and she goes on to say that basically her client felt cage and imprisoned, the escalation of things degradation [she went on to say other things as well including but not limited to Dallas was trying to get a trial together and she wants her life back.] But she went to read a released a statement by her client " That she hopes any doors of secrecy have been blown off their hinges and fresh air fills the headquarters, she hopes those at the company past and present who feared speaking out of harm is now a thing of the past, she wishes everyone peace."

* Mr. McMahon releases a statement: “I stand by my previous statement, Miss Grant's lawsuit is replete with liars, obscene made up incidents that never occurred and is a vindictive distortion of the truth, I intend to vigourously defend myself against these baseless accusations and look forward to clearing my name. Continuation "However I have respect for the WWE Universe, the extraordinary TKO business and board members, shareholders, partners and its constituents and all of the WWE employees and superstars that make the WWE into the global leader it is today, I have decided to resign executive chairmanship and the TKO board of directors effective immediately.

My opinions: I am going to be professional yet honest here and say I wish this happened under better circumstances because no one deserves what Grant is alleging. But I have been waiting and waiting for Mr. McMahon to finally crash and burn, yes now and again I hear stories of his kindness, but that does not anywhere cover the other 80% of misery he has brought to others in some way or another. So it is very rare that I get on the bandwagon, you should indicate to you that this individual [me] I am not easily swayed, so what Grant is alleging is probably a true reflection as her descriptions of events and seen plausible and detailed, I should go on the record by saying I'm not here to discredit her, I'm just saying her evidence provided so far is strong and solid. But back to wrestling kind of Mr McMahon does not care about the WWE or its universe, all he cares about is money and power as some of us would remember used to make creative decisions to entertain one person himself and there have been other previous cases against Mr. McMahon for this behaviour but he has simply paid them off as in a settlement. I will finish this content on a wrestling murmur online that it has been suggested that people would like Stephanie McMahon back within the company, I say if it makes the wrestling more comfortable to see a familiar face and a person that has been around wrestling, being in a position of a higher up so be it meaning I would be for that and maybe give her a partial on-screen role now and again as in anything big announcements we see Stephanie McMahon.

Review Time:

5 things about this episode

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/other effects/transformation/robotics/shooting/short-circuiting/environmental/for some Power Rangers fans out there you may find this triggering

Tommy is out of sorts: Character [Character developments,] Action, Art and Storyline; Tommy is not in the right frame of mind to pilot/have a psychic link with the only Zord [the Red Battlezord] which is available to them at this time, because of this unfortunate situation; the Red Battlezord for an example smashes up these natural surroundings into rubble and from an artistic perspective; the imagination and high levels of creativity shown here is really captivating and finally Tommy goes off to find himself; but is surprised who is staring back at him.

This episode receives: 10/10, this episode is top-notch entertainment; it's moves things on in a big way, and full disclosure, it was tricky to put in between 3 to 5 things about one episode; not because other content or things not being there to talk about, because they clearly are. But having to carefully not break the format of 3 to 5 things about this episode

Warning: there will be adult content/references and unpleasantness at one point or another, I just want to go on the record by saying I feel really uncomfortable producing this content, there is a special place in hell for those such as Mr McMahon and the others that were involved in this situation. I mean everyone knows as a person I really despise the man and this was before listening to this content and I will be discussing other things relating to this topic as well. Just to cover my back I won't bring up everything, it isn't down to myself distorting the facts let's just say it gives me a small option to perhaps make reference to something softly and no not to protect him or others, but just so that I know what content I put out is safe to view even though if you read between the lines it indicates something darker as to give you the full disclosure I have heard two versions of these events; the first one was raw, no pun absolutely not intended yet the second one is let's just say factual based without too much graphic detail, so depending where you go searching is depending what type of version of events you will get, I am absolutely not discrediting anyone, I'm just saying that like myself there are other content creators that still tell you the truth, they just choose to be sensitive and not tell you everything little in this case discussed in detail

Well let's just start: so let's start on an obvious question; who is Janel Grant? She is someone that lived in the same apartment building as Mr. McMahon, she needed a job, Mr. McMahon made promises to get her a job with the WWE [in the legal department.] But when they were meant to have meetings on the job role, he opened the door to her in his underwear and repeatedly asked for hugs, then he pressured to her into sexual activities in turn for employment, she was warned to stay quiet on their interactions. I wonder why? Is it because this was wrong on so many different levels having a 78-year-old man clearly I'm going to be honest here; clearly and willingly intimidating and abusing his position of power; it is almost like honestly he should have a psychological evaluation, because he is not fit to be in the public domain.

But I digress; it was alleged that Grant stressed concern about her job role as she felt it was not earned. But Mr. McMahon told her it just has to look legit, Grant alleges that her colleagues complained that they basically had lots of work and she didn't have much to do. Then we have Mr. McMahon sending her sexually explicit texts, Mr. McMahon's sexual demands/appetite grew including but not limited to sexual toys and naming them after wrestlers, Grant also alleges that she complained and made attempts to end the relationship. But sadly she came to Mr. McMahon expected the physical relationship as a part of her employment, Mr. McMahon refused saying that it was not ending, it didn't need to end and he didn't ever envision ending. Grant then alleges that at WWE headquarters she was locked in a room and Mr. McMahon and a executive took turns sexually assaulting her, there were other situations of sexual assault of June 2021 Mr. McMahon sent her 115,000 Bloomingdale card vouchers/gift cards. The suit also has in its possession a text from Mr. Mr McMahon says I'm the one that owns you and controls you. Grant also alleges Mr. McMahon would share this explicit content with other WWE employees, unnamed executive and WWE superstars as well as people outside of the company, including a series of texts bragging on showing these two WWE employees in the technical department and offering her up to them for sexual favours in July of 2021.

Now as I haven't spoken freely for some time I was thinking I would take a break from this despicable turn of events and ask one important question and that is; so far does it sound like someone [Mr. McMahon;] that you want to defend? Because even though it is roughly early days, I am already starting to see people put on social media; disgusting things like and I am paraphrasing here but you get the sentiment; the woman wants to get money or/and reflecting things off Mr. McMahon and talking about AEW, Tony Khan and Chris Jericho.

This lawsuit is so serious that I will not use softer or any adult language references; I would just use clean plain old English because this situation needs to be dealt with seriously and sensibly. But having said that like I have already said once so far shut up and grow up as they tried to make a reflecting comment about TK and Chris Jericho, including before this pointing out that someone on social media that announced after today they won't be talking about Mr. McMahon because it would be in the courts and I just pointed out, well something to the effect of shame you don't take that same approach with AEW, meaning this individual spends every day to discrediting AEW, but as soon as the WWE/Mr. McMahon does something wrong again, this individual quickly announces that basically they are having nothing more to do with this subject, at least I can say I criticise both WWE and AEW when it is appropriate. Hypothetically and I do stress hypothetically if anyone else I don't care what promotion you are from, if you do anything like Mr. McMahon and genuine evidence to support your claims, like myself and I don't speak for anyone else, but I am sure I would get most of you agreeing with me, we will deal with you in the same professional manner so this is not the time for tribalism in fact actually it is the perfect time for tribalism in the sense of all the different types should come together and say for now, I don't like you and you don't like me [if you want to be that way,] but for now stand together and say no more Mr. McMahon [Breaking News! Mr. McMahon has Resigned!]

I will continue with this content for now back to work; by the suit claims by November 2019 Grant was showing signs of migraines, weight loss, hair loss rashes, sleep disruption, dizziness, and exhaustion. She went to her doctor which hold her it was trauma, I'm not a doctor but I would agree with this assessment. But Mr. McMahon disagreed with allegedly saying roughly trauma my posterior [full disclosure again I have changed one word and not the sentiment.] Which Mr. McMahon sent her to a celebrity Doctor and he paid for all of her treatment and so on.

Those that Mr McMahon showed and shared the explicit content with encouraged them to share it with their friends, including a former WWE referee which Mr McMahon reassured Grant that the referee in question had loyalty to him. It gets worse the suit alleges that Grant was moved to work in talent relations office under Laminitis [at the time the Head of Talent] which she was instructed by Mr. McMahon to have the morning intercourse with Laminitis; it was described as breakfast for Laminitis, in the same month these two individuals sexually assaulted Grant the suit alleges with a continuing that Mr McMahon controlled her professional and personal life subjecting her to degradation.

Then you think it couldn't get any worse well there is a massive bombshell coming in quick summary the suit alleges that she was used as a bargaining chip to get a WWE talent to re-sign with the company Grant had to make personalised content for this individual; now I need to stress this in big capital letters the suit indicates a WWE and UFC Heavyweight Champion, but does not say his name but it does indicate people familiar with this would identify this individual, which could only be one person Brock Lesnar. On signing his latest contract one of the things was I'm going to rephrase Mr. McMahon text to Grant he gets to have sex with you.

Now on a connecting subject but on a side note; I would have no idea why if it is Lesnar would want to do this? For the younger wrestling fans he has a beautiful wife at home that put this politely why would you want to go anywhere else? Her WWF/WWE ring name is/was Sable and even though she is older as we all are, you still wouldn't go anywhere else. Lesnar returned at WWE SummerSlam 2021 which also includes getting a spare mobile to send to this individual sexual degrading content, they wanted to set a play date but it didn't materialise due to snow at the time. The suit claims that Mr. McMahon subjected Grant to acts of cruelty and degradation to disassociate or/and become numb in order to survive the horrific encounters.

It couldn't get any worse, but yes it could in January 2022 Linda McMahon; yes Mr McMahon has a wife, then Grant was released/let go by the WWE and forced to sign a nondisclosure agreement, with the inclusion of if she'd said anything reputation ruin including sexual/pornographic material that Mr. McMahon had of her, allegedly Mr. McMahon paid her $1 million in February as part of this nondisclosure agreement, but then stopped making payments, which in turn broke the nondisclosure agreement, which is how Grant is now allowed to file this lawsuit, very finally the lawsuit alleges that even after signing the nondisclosure agreement in February, in March Mr. McMahon attempted to traffic Grant an unnamed WWE star at a WWE event in New York, she was instructed to send the individual explicit texts, but did not meet.

Grant's name was not put out there by the Wall Street Journal, it was released by Brian Sheppard, he got it apparently from a WWE source [it has been indicated in the lawsuit that this is in a inverted intimidating tactics used by the WWE.]

There was a special committee to deal with other payments and so on and so forth basically of shady behaviour by Mr McMahon. But as it relates to this particular situation Grant's suit has said that she was never contacted even though she would be very cooperative and share any evidence, but all they did was shift the focus from Mr. McMahon abuse and focused on where the money was coming from, the suit also alleges that there are those within WWE that actively worked to cover up any wrongdoing, so this investigation was a sham.

In a nutshell; Mr. McMahon has denied these allegations [I will put their statement in the follow-up content, so I'm not withholding anything as in the breaking news, I want to leave Grant alone or at the best they can to focus on Mr. McMahon, because as I will make reference to in my last section of this content Grant is not in the best place] and Lesnar has been pulled from appearing at today's WWE Royal Rumble [based on the indirect link to this situation] and TKO have basically said something to the attempt to this predates our relationship, but we take Grant's horrific allegations very seriously and are dealing with them internally.

To finish this content of; I should point out that Grant's now suffering from physical and mental including PTSD and suicidal ideation, so before you say anything unpleasant about this individual, I want you to keep in mind that any form of mental health or physical restriction is life changing I should know as I have brain damage and a mental health illness on top, so all I am saying is if you can take the high road on your comments and anything other.

 

 

 

 

 

 

In-depth Predictions/Other elements for WWE Royal Rumble 2024 by AverageMansReviews

In-depth Predictions/Other elements for WWE  Royal Rumble 2024 by AverageMansReviews

Warning Disclaimer/Speculation: I have heard potentially spoilers, but it has been stated that these individuals don't have the greatest track record and it should be very quickly stated that whomever I pick for these match slot may or may not be these names and because it is that time of year I will be discussing more than one winner, but just take the first one as my pick and there will be an adult reference to a gesture.

Women's Royal Rumble Match; 30-Woman Royal Rumble Match for a Women's Championship Match at WrestleMania XL/2024: my pick is for Raw Becky Lynch. Minus Charlotte Flair; Becky Lynch vs. Rhea Ripley for the WWE Women's World Championship is a marquee match for this milestone of WrestleManiaand not forgetting a win for Ripley against Lynch would cement her as the revolution of women’s wrestling with in the WWE, as it would be a passing of the torch from the perspective of one standardbearer to the other and just for the record I know Lynch isn’t that old as of this content being created she is only 36 years old. SmackDown Bayley to take on her stable mate Damage CTRL's and WWE Women's Champion Iyo Sky or from NXT [I know she hasn't officially wrestled yet anywhere, just for the record also this is not a cheap pop.] But they could have Jade Cargill from out of nowhere represent NXT, is set up a programme with Ripley so we have both of them appearing on both brands now and again leading into WrestleMania.

Kevin Owens vs. Champ Logan Paul; Singles Match for the WWE United States Championship: my pick is Logan Paul. As I have said on social media this match slot is just the equivalent of AEW Hook vs. AEW World Champion Samoa Joe, from the perspective of Owens will make Paul credible as champion as in the AEW equivalent of what I have seen online, I haven't seen it yet Hook look a credible threat for the future. Like I said online please make Paul look as an intelligent heel as he rolls up Owens and on the 2 count you just make sure to get the win by hooking an item of Owens' clothing just to make sure getting the 3 count, with Owens knowing fully what has just taken place, with a small smile just to indicate/say they didn't know you had that in your locker, but next time I will get you. So we get Paul better for having this match and Owens pretended from the loss, by okay kid you got me one, that kind of outlay/presentation.

Men's Royal Rumble Match; 30-Men Royal Rumble Match for a Men's Championship Match at WrestleMania XL/2024: my pick is for Raw CM Punk, for SmackDown Dwayne " The Rock" Johnson and for NXT Bron Breakker [I know this has no chance of happening, considering he is now doing something with Baron Corbin down on NXT, but sooner or later he is just going to be money.]

Randy Orton vs. AJ Styles vs. LA Knight vs. Champ The Bloodline's Roman Reigns [with Paul Heyman;] Fatal Four-Way Match for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship: my pick is Roman Reigns. I know I'm going to irritate so many people out there on social media with this section; firstly I can guarantee you that Knight is going to take the pin/loss here, secondly so it sets up a continuation of this feud/match at Mania; LA Knight vs. Orton vs. Styles; if I will booking this I would put a number one contenders for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship stipulation in place [briefly; even though Knight will probably lose here, this becomes a case of just getting him on the Mania card] and finally I want to make this really clear so that even when it becomes a potential reality, I have the credibility to go I told you months ago. I'm not even sure scratch that, I see quite easily the WWE swerving everybody/flying us the bird and keeping this championship right where it is or from out of nowhere Damian Priest shocks the world and cashes in his money in the bank briefcase opportunity, actually to make sure that everything finishes on a banger and everyone goes home with big news and potentially happy I can see them doing a double swerve like 60-40%

Warning Speculation: at one point or another there will be some form of speculation, but this will make sense throughout this content.

Well I did wonder how this was going to work out and now I know: it has been circulating for over a day [Thursday] that the WWE Network would be shutting down at the end of this year, which finding this out is no surprise to me, because outside of the US [to cover my back in the future I will just say this; when this content was first created; as of now the WWE still have a contract/deal with Peacock until 2026 so keeping within wrestling terminology perhaps/speculation card subject to change by then.]

Well it be completely honest here with the amount of money Netflix is paying the WWE [see related content] they really are paying for one word in particular for as best as they can for now and that word or two words are "Exclusive" or/and "Exclusively" which is fair enough it is a business, business, business thing.

Announcement from myself: now consequently I have decided to rejoin Netflix Tuesday 01/10/2024, I am very much aware that nothing will change for roughly 3 months, but I work incredibly hard, but I know this is a contradiction I am somewhat lazy as I don't like unnecessary stress so if there are any problems I like to be well ahead, but however I don't know their payment structure [I have already looked as things are now,] which I am happy to pay £10.99 a month [I know the £4.99 option that they have; with advertising] or let's say hypothetically if they said £14 that would be an increase of £3 which fine, but which I should hasten to add I don't think they would do this but you never know if they put it on their Premium package of £17.99, I would have to think twice [let's be honest; I probably would pay it, but if that when any higher it would need major thinking about it as how much use to I get out of it, I am very tightfisted, so as long as I get uses out of something I will pay it.]

Once again I don't see this being the case, but likewise if I don't see or have access to any WCW content or it isn't there or I will be reasonable and say if it doesn't say at the very least coming soon, I will be absolutely furious. Because I have been slowly looking over their old content and creating content based off that and some of you really like it when I put it out and whilst I am on the subject I know I should have started with WCW Saturday Night as goes in the right order this TV program, to be overlapped by WCW Monday Night Nitro for that to be overlapped by WCW Thunder. My thinking was that when I started with Nitro, I didn't know how this content would be received so I chose Nitro to start with based on hopefully the reception would be solid, so eventually many years down the line I do intend to go back after doing  Nitro and Thunder to do Saturdays Night, which on a quick side note AEW's Tony Khan must have really loved WCW back in the day as he has mimicked not only the colour system from Nitro, but also the presentation of Saturday Night as it relates to its graphics; just modernised, so he has very combined 2 WCW shows cosmetically.

So as you can tell I do plan to follow the WWE content as long as it doesn’t become a pricing issue and finally if you're wondering why Tuesday 01/10/2024, that is also the day I begin my Christmas shopping every year so I won't be able to forget.

Power Rangers Zeo [Season 1,] Episode 17: There's No Business Like Snow Business: Part III by AverageMansReviews

Review Time:

5 things about this episode

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/other effects/transformation/robotics/shooting/short-circuiting/environmental

Dear Tommy; Part III: Storyline, Art, Action and Character [Character developments;] The Zeo Rangers are dealing with this newest/latest threat to Angel Grove and Earth. This monster vs. Zeo Megazord and in this landscape we have feel/look of this faintly murky air and this yellow sun in the background; which really does set the atmosphere and tone for what is coming up next. Now the Zeo Megazord we have these options of Battle Helmets; the standard and I mean that respectfully is Zeo V Battle Helmet [Warrior Mode] and obviously it corresponds with in this case to Tommy/Zeo Ranger V and in this mode he controls Zeo V Power Sword/Zeo Battle Sword/Battle Sword.

This episode receives: 8/10, this episode is excellent; yes I have decided to award another mark based on the action sequences in one way or another bringing a lot to the table in this episode; but this trilogy of episodes is all round good.

Average Extra of: Tatiana Maslany about She-Hulk: Attorney at Law Sason 2 Cancellation by AverageMansReviews

Warning: there will be softer adapted adult language references, including things that will probably make some of you very uncomfortable at one point or another, you have been warned.

This is a rough transcript of what Tatiana Maslany Attorney Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk had to say about the cancellation of Season 2 of this TV program: "Don't even get me started on Season 2, because it is going nowhere I think and it's pretty sad and infuriating to deal with the problem with this industry is how many studios tend to listen to loud and opinionated way to seriously that are biased and take their word for everything as if they are the majority. What happened to The Marvels 2023 and its reception, I think is just completely false and misunderstood most fans were not happy of course with the addition of from Marvel and I think the problem is that there is a silent majority that actually loves these female lead roles, especially these female ensemble cast films they dealt with this for The Marvels and I can say for a fact I know I dealt with this for She-Hulk there is absolutely a silent majority that loves She-Hulk, people feel the stigma, you know to admit that you enjoy something different especially female empowerment in Disney film or a series under Marvel and I think Bob [Bob  Iger: Managing Director of Disney] is part to blame for that stigma because a thing of course that is still being very much complex, they just listen to the toxic demographic too closely and decide to cancel this or that or are based on little to no logic, it's a fan problem and not a studio issue at the root, we need more fans feel comfortable to admit what they enjoy and support, when it involves films and television especially under Marvel and what Disney are trying to establish here, I think it is a disgrace that we couldn't just agree on budget with a continuation of She-Hulk and just agree on something already, anything I mean there is so much to discuss about what we wanted to do for Season 2 and where it's right now but fandom culture is basically creating a bleak future increasingly challenging for studios to understand there is a silent majority that, that needs to be more outspoken and support actresses like myself to things going and I think they are a part of the problem too, you got these two that are loud unbiased and those that don't want to say anything and it can be very damaging for brand like Marvel for a studio to truly understand their demographic, I am rooting for Echo and Iron Heart and whatever future Captain Marvel has, but I don't know too much of where she is going but characters like that are the true stars of Marvel and are the true future, I often see so much the twerking scene that we did for She-Hulk and its undeserved for the cast and crew including myself, I think it's one of the most funniest scenes out there for the MCU for comedic relief it is obvious why males would have an issue with it with something like that."

She goes on to say "I think these films and series from Marvel really need to cater to more women evolved and expand the demographic that Disney is going for, but the silent majority needs to speak their voice to really make that happen to show feedback accurately to this studios, I wholeheartedly believe that's what the problem has for way too long, it all boils down to both a marketing problem and irresponsible from fans not showing their proper support to this studios."

Why don't you tell us what you really think? Well thank you I will: this is just a bunch of manure really so let's take section by section; Don't even get me started on Season 2, because it is going nowhere I think and it's pretty sad and infuriating to deal with the problem with this industry is how many studios tend to listen to loud and opinionated way to seriously that are biased and take their word for everything as if they are the majority. My response is: well yes, if they put their hands in their pockets be it going to the cinema or paying a subscription, this is how it works, it is simple business; manufacturer and the consumer I mean this isn't just cinema or TV this is basic how the world goes round, so so far it isn't down to any form of fan base and on a quick yet very valid side note the fan base has grown up with these characters, so we are very and I mean very protective over them, so when we see less than their true potential, yes we are open up to different interpretations, depending on what world they come from, but regardless is still revolves around their true potential and portrayal. But please keep talking absolute garbage.

What happened to The Marvels 2023 and its reception, I think is just completely false and misunderstood most fans were not happy of course with the addition of from Marvel and I think the problem is that there is a silent majority that actually loves these female lead roles, especially these female ensemble cast films they dealt with this for The Marvels and I can say for a fact I know I dealt with this for She-Hulk there is absolutely a silent majority that loves She-Hulk, people feel the stigma, you know to admit that you enjoy something different especially female empowerment in Disney film or a series under Marvel; My response: what are you smoking and can I have some? I am amazed that either Disney, Marvel or any of the current crop of new blood into the MCU just don't get it, I mean once again it is down to consumerism, if people don't like the garbage you're shovelling they aren't going to pay or at minimum watch it or listen to it or take it, but putting consumerism to one side for a minute this is becoming very personal very quickly between the performers that Disney/Marvel Studios are hiring generally speaking and aiming their actual personal opinions and collective social commentary at the fan base that are paying their bills. I am being sarcastic when I say this; I find it incredibly comical that when people are trying to instruct a coherent argument they use words such as empowerment, just the record there was nothing empowering about She-Hulk Season 1; especially with what happened in the final episode where without giving anything away she learns absolutely nothing which makes this entire TV program a complete waste of time, so what is empowering about this; when you don't learn anything about the person you are now and the responsibilities that come with that if you can just change it at the end?? Seriously this is the problem with the new generation of performers when you come up against someone that has been around and also can see the smoke screen of manure and just for the record I don't care about female lead or ensemble casts; I know I have just sent this; but no one seems to be getting it; people don't like to have an agenda or preaching or anything shoved down their throat, they should be allowed to come to those ideas or think they themselves, so you can put this kind of content in there, but you can't force feed it.

Please continue; and I think Bob [Bob  Iger: Managing Director of Disney] is part to blame for that stigma because a thing of course that is still being very much complex, they just listen to the toxic demographic too closely and decide to cancel this or that or are based on little to no logic, it's a fan problem and not a studio issue at the root, we need more fans feel comfortable to admit what they enjoy and support, when it involves films and television especially under Marvel and what Disney are trying to establish here My response: I have to be completely honest this was the first time I genuinely almost messed myself with laughing so much, because only a complete idiot would disrespect their boss publicly, you know the person that is actually paying you money or was paying you money or possibly pay you again for a different projects, but that was a smart move partially throwing him under the bus. But however we completely agree on something here, but not in the way you think; yes Bob  Iger has allowed this garbage and including Kevin Feige [the President of Marvel Studios] to individually or together to allow this garbage to go on for too long of shovelling their agenda down our throats and if you want a logical reason for your cancellation, you have openly said in the related content that basically you blew your very large budget of $225 million I know, I know I must sound like a broken down record but it is down to consumerism once again so why would they give you another regardless of size budget just for you to blow it again? It is about business, business, business end of story. You can stop that mental manipulation/social compliance garbage as well when you say; it's a fan problem and not a studio issue at the root, we need more fans feel comfortable to admit what they enjoy and support, when it involves films and television especially under Marvel and what Disney are trying to establish. The fact is in the way you put things across, you are suggesting mental manipulation/social compliance when you believe that if you can get these silent people to talk they may and you are hoping they will basically go to bat for you, I know I have brain damage with mental health on top, but even I can read the room don't you get it we are living in the era of social media people will tell you what they want and what they clearly don't want for two excellent examples I know people at the time were hopeful of a second series of Watchmen 2019 and at one point or another you must have seen this hash tag going around #SaveLegendsOfTomorrow DC's Legends of Tomorrow [2016-2022] which individually dealt with generally speaking dealt with how to put this nicely white on black violence and then a bunch of misfits which came from all different walks of life, but were able to create a dysfunctional/functional family and if you have ever watched these one or both of these TV programs, you know full well I mean absolutely no disrespect in the language used here; but carry on and what happened with The Marvels is a briefly a wake-up call even though I gave it 10/10, The Marvels 2023 Link https://averagemansreviews2017.blogspot.com/2024/01/the-marvels-2023-by-averagemansreviews.html I mean this is what the problem is the MCU has gotten to the point where, because they have allowed this garbage which along, where we had come accustomed to glowing positive films back when they first started out to nowadays on average and a general consensus of possibly good to average to poor, so this has become learned behaviour.

I think it is a disgrace that we couldn't just agree on budget with a continuation of She-Hulk and just agree on something already, anything I mean there is so much to discuss about what we wanted to do for Season 2 and where it's right now but fandom culture is basically creating a bleak future increasingly challenging for studios to understand there is a silent majority that, that needs to be more outspoken and support actresses like myself to things going and I think they are a part of the problem too, you got these two that are loud unbiased and those that don't want to say anything and it can be very damaging for brand like Marvel for a studio to truly understand their demographic, I am rooting for Echo and Iron Heart and whatever future Captain Marvel has, but I don't know too much of where she is going but characters like that are the true stars of Marvel and are the true future, I often see so much the twerking scene that we did for She-Hulk and its undeserved for the cast and crew including myself, I think it's one of the most funniest scenes out there for the MCU for comedic relief it is obvious why males would have an issue with it with something like that."

My response: how immature do you sound? I mean I could even put this much more harshly but I won't because I have identified that you are not aware of the world around you; briefly because I have said this already. You have already acknowledged that you blew your budget and I have repeatedly said that in summary it is business, business, business. I mean how difficult is it to understand? Blaming the fandom culture is easy, because that takes all of the responsibility off the people that worked on this TV series including herself instead of looking at us, you should be all looking at yourself going, maybe we pushed our luck? Because quite frankly generally speaking I am getting sick to death of the current climate of people not taking responsibility for the outcome of this all that, yes I feel absolutely comfortable saying she is not aware of the world around her; based on this example; one minute she is asking for the silent majority to go and bat for her and others like her and then the next minute she is putting them under the bus as well and blaming them, this is the second time I almost massed myself from laughing too much, because she keeps speaking of this silent majority; which I have to ask what silent majority? Does she mean the people that didn't watch her TV program or at the cinema with The Marvels film, hasn't it dawned on you yet the silent majority are speaking loud and clear by not watching or going to the cinema? The majority be it silent or not are speaking loud and clear and they are saying generally speaking no to whatever you are shovelling and I know I am this evil demographic known as a Caucasian male in their 40's but perhaps if you want to be taken seriously don't twerk, I am just saying again on one hand you are wanting to be taken seriously, whilst on the other hand you are damaging that message; but please continue for the final time

I think these films and series from Marvel really need to cater to more women evolved and expand the demographic that Disney is going for, but the silent majority needs to speak their voice to really make that happen to show feedback accurately to this studios, I wholeheartedly believe that's what the problem has for way too long, it all boils down to both a marketing problem and irresponsible from fans not showing their proper support to this studios. My response is: now I have been holding back one uncomfortable truth that they don't want to hear and it is fact you are aware that since Marvel Studios/the MCU began essentially it was founded upon the hard work of men and women that made Marvel Studios/the MCU very, very lucrative in fact it is because of these men and these women who graciously built up the MCU for you to have future jobs/employment, I just have a massive problem with the current direction of the MCU, because it isn't based around inclusivity how much they would love to preach that fact, it just isn't, it is just about playing social politics and agenda driven content and if you don't like it you are a part of the problem, so you can keep your mouth shut and fudge off. But the most saddest thing is; they are just tearing down the work of the original generations worked and foundations.
