Sweet zombie Lyanna Mormont, what an episode! Having recently also seen Avengers Endgame, I can say without hyperbole that this was the most emotional Nerd weekend of my entire life. Just for the record, I will not be going in order as to how I recap this episode – I will be jumping around quite a bit for the sake of the narrative.
Issue # 2: This week’s news, breaking down the NSFW The Boys trailer, Avengers: Endgame thoughts, more!
Okay, this is it. This big one. The one we’ve concurrently anticipated and dreaded. The dead have arrived at Winterfell. Winter is no longer coming, Winter is here. What will happen? What will we see? Most importantly, who will make it through the battle? Here are my thoughts on these topics and more.
If you are a crazy person like me and are also planning on watching every Marvel movie ahead of Avengers: End Game then you are in luck. If you are going to do it, you best come correct and do it in chronological order. I have painstakingly put together this swanky list featuring Marvel movie posters to make this list both easily digestible and purtty. Grab a bags of popcorn or some Popeyes (it’s is the shiznit) and go all Clockwork Orange and binge all of these in a row right now! You’re welcome. You’re ALL WELCOME!
There is a lot to unpack from this episode…
With the annual Superstar Shake-up in the books, let’s take a moment to look at the who won, lost, and should seriously contemplate calling Impact or AEW (*snicker*… just kidding) below!
Based on the events of the first episode, and clues that we received from the trailer I think we’re going to see a lot of the plot revolve around Jaime Lannister. On that note, let me just dive right into the predictions.
Issue #1: In the first issues of the Culture Comic Book News, Old Man Wade tells us the latest on the Disney + streaming service, and gives us his comic picks for the week, old school and new!
8:00 PM- I have to say… this Superstar shake-up thing is silly. Why not have a draft with picks and arguing and so forth. This seemingly random selection shit is silly. They go out of their way to over explain angles but put little to no effort into the presentation of the “shake-up”. This stuff was only interesting when Ric Flair and Vince McMahon were in charge of Raw and Smackdown. Them having to go out on the stage and make picks was great TV. We need more, damn it!!! Mooooore!
Another reunion that was great to see was Cersei and Euron. I won’t get into great detail about it, but it was a moment in which I actually felt pity for Cersei Lannister, which is something that I never thought I would do.
Covering professional wrestling can be hard if your job consists of providing play-by-play for Raw or any of the other WWE content for that matter. Some of the stuff that goes through my head shouldn’t be plastered all over the internet for anyone to see. BUT A wise man once said, “Fuck it, we’ll do it live!” Welcome to “Diary […]

9:54 PM- Corbin finishes Crews off relatively quickly. Strangely enough, unlike Rousey, Corbin does get paid by the hour… and he is late for his shift at Applebees.
9:16 PM- There is no fucking way Kingston is going to win this. All of the faces are watching this backstage.
9:18 PM- Cesaro puts Kingston in the cloverleaf instead of the sharpshooter. Does that mean Cesaro broke up with Tyson Kidd?
10:28 PM- Braun Strowman is feuding with dudes from SNL… This is really happening. I guess it could be worse. Strowman could be teaming with an 11-year-old again.
10:31 PM- Strowman says he is so mad at Colin Jost and Michael Che that he is going to enter the André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal… Weird Flex, but ok.
