  1. Naomi looked cool as fuck. That big hair will look awesome on any big bumps or any high flying she does.
  2. The rumour was Shayna and Dakota. Using your parameters, I count 7 - Graves/Carmella, Uso/Naomi, Andrade/Charlotte, Becky/Rollins, Vega/Black, Yim/Lee and Edge/Phoenix.
  3. The strap match felt like the result of a bet, where someone went up to Daniel Bryan and said "OK, to prove you're the best wrestler on the planet, I want you to wrestle a limited opponent to a **** match. Plus it's a strap match. Plus he's allowed to shrug off 90% of your offense. Think you can do it?" And then he did.
  4. Sasha hasn't wrestled since Jan 3rd, so the Twitter buzz is that she's injured
  5. Going into the event, I had Shayna as my prediction to win and I don't think that would have been a massive surprise to anyone.
  6. I actually thought this was the best one they've run so far. Great runs by Bianca, Naomi and Beth, really fun spot with Mandy and Otis, it had just the right number of nostalgia entries (as opposed to the first which was full of them), the winner wasnt entirely obvious (unlike last year) and it flew by in a really entertaining way.
  7. For a guy who I was pretty 'meh' on a the start of 2019, Finn Balor has had a very good past 12 months in ring. Starting with that banger Lesnar match, really fun sprint with Lashley at Mania, perfectly executed heel turn, then terrific matches with Riddle, Lee/Ciampa 3way, Cole and now a really good match with Ilja, he's become one of my favourites in a short period of time. He's started laying his stuff in with more oomph and even his head locks look tightly locked in. Think the main event really highlighted how good Bartel and Aichner are, they looked very much on the level with everyone else in that match. As @Lawful Metal highlighted, a guy with that surly face shouldn't work as face-in-peril, but he really made it work. As for Aichner I don't know what was more impressive- muscling up the UE member on that throw-to-brainbuster that could have gone so wrong or the insane leap on his final dive before the finish.
  8. Very strange day, albeit probably more strange for the Birmingham fans forced to sit in the away end. It made for quite an enjoyable atmosphere in the end, and 21,000 is comfortably our biggest attendance this season. Of course, the game ended up a draw, so now we have the replay this time as the away team.
  9. I think you could point to a combination of AEW having spoilers out pre-show, which takes away any mystery from the show, and NXT having a well-advertised Keith Lee title match in the main event.
  10. Hayter and Havoc broke up and she's now with Karl Fredericks from the NJPW dojo, so that's probably why she's not on the shows anymore
  11. Cabana Man Dan doesn't wrestle in the flip flops, but he does use them as a weapon for flip flop chops. Also, he's a very short man wearing a very large belt in that photo
  12. I'm pretty sure Beckett has retired, but I've no idea why Kimber Lee or Kelly aren't already signed up, esp when you consider Kelly's husband already works there. For that matter, I don't understand how the likes of Solo Darling or Lady Frost haven't been signed up by anyone yet, not even Impact
  13. Have they done anything with the Kip Sabian/Penelope Ford pairing since they appeared at the last PPV?
  14. At least they can be given an easy ride in the elimination matches. You suspect Ciampa won't be seeing a ton of ring time. Her run in the last MYC was really good. The Catanzaro match was a fun bully vs underdog match, and the Io match in the semi final was great. It's a real coming out party for her, especially as the common belief was she wasn't expecting it, as Tegan was the likely winner of the whole thing before her leg went vs Rhea.
  15. I'm also very into Pete Dunne feasting on the remains of Cole at Survivor Series, and bringing the NXT title back to the Best Midlands
  16. What I loved is that Regal is a rare authority figure that is feared by everyone, the one guy everyone listens to and doesn't threaten to assault. So when Kai laid hands on him, even though it wasn't a big blow or something that put him down, it got a huge pop and made her look even crazier. If they keep Nox off TV for a month or two, her return to kick Dakota's teeth in is going to be a huge moment
  17. Gareth Bale celebrating qualifying for the Euros behind a flag stating "Wales. Golf. Madrid. In that order" is a beautiful sight to see.
  18. IPW were the guys who flew half their roster to America in April to hold a show in front of 10 people. They also stopped running the immensely popular Tuesday Night Graps shows (that have basically been the template for the even more popular Schadenfreude & Friends shows) because they didn't "fit the brand". What I'm trying to say is that they may not have been the smartest business people.
  19. I mean, Shazza would definitely be a top 3 worker in their women's division, and she's certainly got a bit of thiccness to her.
  20. CHIKARA's season finale last night was a really great show. Mike Quackenbush and Thomas Santell had a super fun opener worked for 95% of it in a knucklelock, there was a really fun angle/match revolving around the Crucible attacking The Whisper before his title match with Dasher Hatfield causing him to work the match barely surviving, and best of all was the tag title match of Solo Darling and Willow Nightingale vs Tony Deppen and Travis Huckabee. Really great 2/3 tag match, worked perfectly to formula and with a really hot ending run.
  21. It's hard not to respect Moxley for getting PPV money for having, essentially, a decent Tournament of Death match, so fair play to him for that. Though he needed a Jeff Cannonball or Conor Claxton in there with him to say "Maybe we don't need to go 40 minutes in this match"
  22. Rhea was in the ring with Nox when her knee exploded, and Nox continued to try and attack her, so I guess that would prove her toughness to Rhea. Also, Dakota cries a lot more than Teagan.
  23. Yeah, even as someone who always thought Seth sucked, it's easy to see why this annoyed him. You're at your coldest reaction-wise since debuting, people already talk about you on line being a big uncool corporate suck-up, and now you get an untrue report that you gave a big pro company speech (not just any speech, a badly received "rah-rah" speech that makes him sound like the head girl trying to boost up a load of sixth-formers), I can fully see why he'd be fucked off with that. People already think he's lame, he doesn't need fake fuel added to the fire.
  24. Hopefully they give the Beaver Boys whatever push was planned for the Dark Order, as I don't think there's a single aspect in which Silver and Reynolds don't lap them.
