Babes No More?

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 20:30:00 +0100

This week, things go completely off the rails.

We kick off with technical issues, low energy, and a mild existential crisis before spiralling into strange charity shop vinyl finds, disappointing exhibitions with no gift shop, questionable purchases, gaming frustrations, and driving lesson chaos.

Then the tone shifts as we dive into wrestling talk—covering a shocking fan incident at an indie show, the boundaries of fan behaviour, and the latest news, rumours, and updates from AEW and WWE—plus an unexpected detour into Street Fighter films.

We also break down AEW Dynamite and Collision, including Omega vs Swerve, MJF’s current run, match highlights, bold takes, and plenty of nonsense along the way.

Unfiltered, unfocused, and full of tangents—just how it should be.

Mythos Joe

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 22:30:00 +0100

This week on Dammit Vacant:

We remember Dennis Condrey, one half of the legendary Midnight Express, who has passed away at 76. Tributes have poured in across the industry, with a GoFundMe set up to support his family.

Ted DiBiase Jr. has been found not guilty on all charges in his fraud trial.

In AEW, Toni Storm is not medically cleared and could be out long-term, with a mystery attacker storyline now in place. Ronda Rousey made a surprise appearance at Revolution but is not signed.

AEW Dynamite has the fallout from Revolution that reshapes the title picture and potential new EVP…

Elsewhere: WWE ID signings revealed, Mercedes Moné continues losing titles, injury updates, and ongoing WrestleMania changes.

OPW Overboard Rumble 2026

Thu, 05 Feb 2026 21:15:00 +0100

Ellis is finally back to review OPW shows with Joe!

In one the best shows they've done, OPW put on a stacked card kicking off with the OPW Champion, Rico Markus, defending against Joey Hayes which set the tone for the evening.

The Overboard Rumble was all action with stellar performances and storytelling throughout leading to RPD winning his first rumble and setting up the the trilogy match with Markus at War on the Shore as well as a returning Ryan Hunter Vs Teddy Reay.

Kollins and Grey fought to be the inaugural Morecambe Bay Championship in a hard hitting affair and emotional crowning, Reece and Rogan made a triumphant return to take the tag titles of Viral Connection and inject a bit of “poison” back into OPW.

Main eventing was Lana Austin winning her first OPW championship defeating Leah Raven in a falls count anywhere match which was the match of the night and included a tremendous run in by Hollie Barlow.

The title victory celebrations with Venga Boys dancing and a conga line was heart warming and a special moment to end the night.

20 years of War on the Shore

Tue, 15 Apr 2025 20:00:00 +0100

OPW put on their best show yet with Dekker carrying the brand into the next era as shown by a tremendous opening vignette and match with Kollins.

The show introduced fresh talent like Sonam and Barnes off the back of the Rumble, advancing the impact of Greenwood as GM on Meat Wagon as well as Ethan and the culmination of the RPD and Markus blood feud in their Last Man Standing match which legitimately swerved us

There's also shout out to the production and feel of the show as well as the great work of the refs.

RPD

Mon, 31 Mar 2025 16:30:00 +0100

In response to Rick Markus’s interview last week RPD hits back at Rick's claims that RPD used Rick and the Morecambe faithful.

However, he is very reflective over the changes he has undergone in the last year as he's spiralled since Rick betrayed him and for the first time in his career is doubtful if he can win at War on the Shore with his career on the line.

You'll have to show up for the 20 year anniversary War on the Shore to find out if this is the end of RPD in Morecambe or not.

He also talks about manipulating Ethan, winning the Overboard Rumble contract and how fickle the Morecambe crowd are but ultimately he will have the last laugh at War on the Shore.

It's gonna be a must see show and a 20 year anniversary show at that, so get along!

Wed, 03 Apr 2024 23:30:00 +0100

Joe, John and Ellis look back at the week that was as we build up to WrestleMania weekend! AEW putting on some casual bangers on dynamite again as Ospreay and Shibata tear it down. WWE have a strong go home Raw as the Bloodline Reign supreme but what is Seth's “plan B”? Also Joe has no concept of size, there's Ian Skinner facts and one bad hotdog.

With only WWE to review, the energies are focussed on a hot raw featuring an unexpected Rock appearance with Cody finally reunited with his pet blade Joe has dubbed Malcolm, Sami getting a new guru and Seth, Drew and Punk just riffing at each other like a bunch of old ladies down the docks.

We have lager and crisps as we take you through the week and a bit of wrestling news and reviews. There is live Ian Skinner facts, lots of cars driving past and just all the stuff you've come to know and hopefully love about this.

Broken Families

Wed, 30 Nov 2022 22:45:00 +0100

Is Sami fully accepted into The Bloodline? What was 10 doing betraying The Dark Order? There’s plenty of emotions and surprise at WWE telling a fully formed story and shock at the disintegration of The Dark Order but are both setting up longer term stories?

John has your back with the news and, of course, shark facts.

2022 has been a wild year.

WAR GAAAAAMES

Wed, 09 Nov 2022 03:15:00 +0100

Ucey’s Back

Thu, 03 Nov 2022 22:54:40 +0100

"I am here"

We are pleased to be back talking wrestling! This week we decipher news and review the weeks shows. There’s disappointment with AEW Dynamite and apathy to ROH segments, confusion with a title change on Raw and sheer joy at the most Ucey segments to ever exist…God Bless you Sami Zayn.

We also make Crown Jewel predictions ahead of this weekend's show.

And it wouldn’t be Dammit Vince without the return of shark facts and Dolphin slander as well.

Extreme Rulez!

Fri, 07 Oct 2022 04:00:00 +0100

Paul slides in mid show to review the hurricane impacted shows but Ian will not stop Sami Zayn being a joy as he makes the Bloodline break character, Garcia's background faces telling a thousand stories and hell Bayley ripping people up on twitter.

We review the shows, make wild theories about where stories are going (WWE actually runs multiple stories for single characters now… shocker) and John provides the news delivered by Ellis and Joe in his painting related absence.

Tune in on Friday for our Extreme Rules predictions

John wheels down the news and somehow continues to find new shark facts.

Also, head over to twitter to vote for which toaster should buy because these are the real hard hitting questions.

"Go ask Alice, I think she'll know…"

We go down the rabbit hole hoping to find Bray, NXT continues to improve, John and Ellis are angry at FITE TV for spoiling an excellent Dynamite and a shark drew another shark using GPS…. It's almost as if they know we need content.
