In the current climate, a lot of us will be spending a lot more time inside – and unless you want to drive yourself crazy, it might be an idea to not leave the news on…
So, what can you do instead? Well, luckily there’s a lot of wrestling you can watch for free on YouTube, as promotions around the world try to help us pass the time.
As our “how the hell did these become daily?” reviews slow down, we’ll be posting lists of things that have been posted to YouTube, along with recommendations from the various VOD services that you may have access to. Whether you’re putting it on in the background while you work from home, or something else to watch than the wall-to-wall speculation on the news – hopefully this can help.

As long as the current situation continues, we’ll be mixing up reviews with recommendations – and if there’s anything we’ve missed, message us in the comments below, or through our Twitter page.
We might not be able to provide an answer to the current crises around the world, but if all we can do is help distract from the rolling news coverage, then that’s something. Stay safe out there!
