Dodgyknees Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Backlash was pretty weak. Rollins - Miz was the match of the night. Still haven't seen a bad match from Seth in a while, and boy do the crowd pop for him. Should be main eventing. Orton - Hardy was good. Nakamura - Styles was decent, but the end? Not happy. I switched off after that, **** Reigns as main event? Piss off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlotte beats aksura and loses clean to Charlotte what stupid and unrealistic booking 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Yeah the booking was strange, Carmella (who I think is a great heel!) shouldn't have won clean, but at the same time she needed to win clean to be seen as a legit champ. I quite like Carmella, she is growing on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogso Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 All Out sold out in somewhere between 30-60 mins. Pretty impressive, it was clearly the right decision to hold it in Chicago. Nothing yet to make WWE run scared, but if, as the hope of most fans is, this becomes a yearly 'indie wrestlemania' (and showcase for the resurgent NWA title), then they'll have to take note. NJPW's US G1 Climax Special hasn't sold out, but there's no matches announced yet. If Omega wins the strap at Dominion, though... I was fortunate enough to attend IPW UK & CZW's joint 'Extreme Measures' card at the weekend. Great show, and I got to witness a death match featuring Matt Tremont in person! Thought it'd never happen. On 15/05/2018 at 07:53, Rugeley Villa said: I'm off tonight to the genting arena. Taking my son to it for one of his birthday presents.

sharkyvilla Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Randomly on my YouTube suggestions, a Scott Steiner video came up. I can't believe in all my years on and off watching wrestling I completely missed how utterly insanely hilarious he was. Completely off his tits.

They both had a great time, and he absolutely loved it. Getting high fived by Braun Strowman was one of his favourite moments, but as a whole he just loved it all.

The_Rev Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Whatever happened to Jack Gallagher? He's a jobbing tag team partner these days, I thought he was a bit better than that: http://www.profightdb.com/wrestlers/jack-gallagher-5908.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The talent they are backing are the likes of Pete Dunne, Trent Seven and Tyler Bate who not only have more talent/potential, but also have a vastly better look to them. Now I am sure Jack could repackage himself, but I think at this point WWE have decided that he'll be the guy to lose to buff another talents win/loss record a bit, he's likely not getting out of the role either. It also doesn't help that Jack is on 205 Live while the other three I mentioned are on NXT where they will thrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogso Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 There's a lot of new UK talent signed with WWE for the new UK tournament - including Flash Morgan Webster, James Drake, El Ligero, Chris Brookes, Joe Coffey, amongst others, so maybe the fabled UK TV show will see the light of day some time soon. All of these guys will be very familiar with those who have seen any UK indie shows in the last few years (Progress, RevPro, IPW UK, etc.) and they're all also unable to appear on the WoS revival, which will have the likes of Will Ospreay, Davey Boy Smith Jr, Moose, Joe Hendry and Martin Kirby as the top draws.

I know that they need to find something for Rousey to do, but let her string some singles wins together first. There is no way Rousey is losing as on paper she is the single most dominant female athlete on the roster thanks to her UFC background, no way she's losing.

Why not go with a feud with riot squad or Alexa and kicking james%? Making her beat jax on her second fight is crazy and rushed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogso Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I see Keith Lee has apparently competed on his final indie show (for Beyond) before joining NXT. Now I know a lot of guys moving over there have done so with a lot of hype, which Keith does too of course, but he's a bit different cos he's very much a 'Vince guy'. He's almost like a Mark Henry, but way more athletic, with genuine charisma. With Dijak already in NXT it wouldn't be terrible to start them as a monster tag team (won't need a gimmick to prove that point either!) and split them up further down the line or something perhaps.

hogso Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 This past weekends Dominion 6.9 - the greatest wrestling show ever, main evented by the greatest wrestling match of all time in Okada v Omega IV? Possibly. If you're not into NJPW at all, make sure you at least watch Naito v Jericho for the IWGP Intercontinental title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardCanning Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 If Vince has any sense he'll have the Women's winner come from Raw and cash in during Rousey v Jax (e.g. at a point where both are down) meaning the MITB winner can eat the pinfall and keep Rousey and Jax looking strong. The alternatives of Rousey winning clean and putting the belt on her very early or a DQ/Count out win really won't appease the Chicago crowd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
