I hate the Saudi shows for obvious reasons but if you are going to take their money to book 60yo guys from the 90s/early 00s then just treat that show like it's non-canon and move on.

With NXT UK evolving into NXT Europe, I wonder if the Steph/HHH era of WWE might be looking to invest in that global expansion we read about years ago?

We might see NXT APAC, NXT South America, NXT Middle East, NXT Africa etc
 

NXT Money Pit, NXT Shuttered, NXT Red Ink

2 workers for one show? Wonder how their payout was. 

I bet they made a hundred bucks, which would $3,118 today!  Pretty good to lay around for three hours.

Hey, there's no tape. For all we know it was three straight hours of non-stop shooting star presses and Canadian destroyers.

Charles Moth does sound like a Chikara highflier.

r/SquaredCircle - That time Triple H presented NXT’s plan for world domination

I only realize now, years and years later, that they planned to have one NXT covering Iran, Iraq and Saudi Arabia (and maybe Israel). Good luck travelling between those countries (or entering one of those countries having a visa entry stamp from another in your passport).

There's got to be a way to search cagematch and find the latest one match card.

So I like to watch the old TNA ppvs that AXS shows every Thursday and I almost always have to mute or change the channel whenever Abyss is on. Not because of anything about him personally or match wise, it's just there are these idiots who chant "wwwwwooohhhhh ohhhh Abyss" over and over again anytime he's onscreen for the entire duration of his match. What the hell was the deal with that? It was super f'n annoying. Was there some kind of inside joke from that time period? It's like every match he's in from 03-06 or so.

Is it worse than the Bentley Bounce or what they did for Lance Hoyt, who I remember being the crowd darlings at one time?

Don't know what they did for those guys. The Abyss thing is just annoying to me because it's repetitive (I have misophonia) and they do it for really long stretches of his matches.

In case this hasn’t been posted before

"BOOOORRR-RIIINNNGGG"

Just kidding, I find the "booring" jeer as annoying and insulting as most folks do, and it exposes the caller a a big ass mark, as does the "FIGHT FOREVER" chant in my opinion.

Are you trying to steal my gimmick, DEAN?

I did travel to UFC 6 at the Cobo Arena in downtown Detroit to see Severn vs. Shamrock. I thought it was brilliant, a 30:00 broadway. The crowd was irate, and I was laughing. What a value. We had Coney dogs afterwards and many shots of booze in Hamtramck.
