  1. That's the worst thing I've ever seen
  2. Somehow Drew Gulak will still lose in under 3 minutes
  3. I've always just assumed Orange Cassidy's gimmick is a take on Paul Rudd in Wet Hot American Summer, which is why his indy entrance music is the song from the WHAS opening credits.
  4. I know there's 5 other guys in this photo, but it's hard for your eyes not to be drawn to Rusev. What a guy! This felt like the best Saudi show so far. Cesaro/Mansoor was very good in an 'experienced wrestler puts over capable local indie guy' way, Carrillo/AJ was good, the 10 man tag was enjoyable junk food, women's match was OK, Fury match was pretty terrible but Braun held it together to his credit. Main event was reasonable until it all went to nonsense overkill at the end, but I'm now amused by the idea of Survivor Series featuring Brock vs Bray vs Adam Cole.
  5. I don't want to suggest that announcement is incredibly underwhelming.... ....so I'll let someone else do it for me
  6. GOOD had some issues with their between-shows entertainment during their July double header, so they put on an impromptu interval 4-way that's really fun. You may be able to tell from the ring attire which 3 guys didn't know they were booked until their music played. Watch Tim Lee miss a fat guy moonsault his way into your heart.
  7. Firmly believe Stunt's future is as a weasely heel, maybe hiding behind a bigger guy to do all the dirty work then picking up cheap victories. Eye pokes, low blows, make him the US Ogawa. I've seen him work semi heel against Rich Swann in ICW-NY, and it was his best match IMO, get him flossing after an ill-gotten victory and let him bask in the hate.
  8. Nice to see Starz getting a little shine. He seems to be someone they like, he's always included amongst staff members (alongside James Mason) when they have media opportunities at the PC or big tryouts, so I guess he's got a secure spot, but he's a really good talent too.
  9. I mean, Ruby IS great, but the thing Charlotte is doing right now that Ruby couldn't is "be able to physically compete" seeing as how Ruby has been injured since the Riott Squad split
  10. Quick question: are the Lucha Brothers face or heel? Because last week they got in some aggro with SCU, who seemed to be heels, but here they're teaming with Evans and Angelico, who I think are heels. Or are Lucha Brothers meant to be tweeners?
  11. Time to call up Shayna
  12. While it sounds like the main event was a disaster, as a Brit who had to sleep rather than watch this PPV, I can honestly say I've never been more excited to finish work and watch a Seth Rollins match than I am right now. Terrible wrestling is always more fun than boring wrestling ? Shocked anyone thought Becky was losing. She's on the cover of the new game and had a big segment with the Rock on the Fox debut. You don't do that and then immediately make her lose the belt. Becky's the star of the women's division, she's not losing right after being introduced to a new audience
  13. Oh, its absolutely a double standard. But in Scorpio Sky's case the answer to the above question "how did WWE miss on this guy?" is that they became aware of homophobic tweets that he'd made and publicly stated he no longer worked for the company when asked about it. I would be genuinely interested if anyone has ever asked them about AJ, and how they'd respond.
  14. As I recall, he was on their radar (he was Harold in the Team Hell No anger management skits), but they publicly cut ties after it came out that he'd made a load of tweets using the word "f*ggot" and within a week he was appearing in TNA on an X Division special
  15. He used to wrestle as the Almighty Sheik, he's a former NWA World champion
  16. Southside have just announced MJF is now appearing, so that's pretty cool (also Shawn Spears is booked too)
  17. He's just done promos announcing he's going to be part of NWA
  18. I think this is mainly because Southside are being taken over by RevPro, and WWE doesn't allow them to use NXT UK talent, largely because they're an NJPW associate (though I'm sure the recent Josh Bodom incident didn't help), probably not helped by RevPro putting Yoshi-Hashi over Pete Dunne in 8 minutes a year or two back. Either that, or HHH doesn't want his guys losing to dreck Southside book like Alex Gracie
  19. Given that anyone interested will find some way to watch it in full before the Saturday, and that a late night Saturday broadcast isn't going to catch too many channel-hopping eyes, I don't see this being a huge success
  20. If he's not in character, it's hard to balance with perennial NXT midcarder Shawn Spears getting the 3rd most featured match on their last PPV.
  21. League is the one played exclusively by six northern towns that don't have football teams. Union is the good one.
  22. I have no horse in the Bliss/Banks race - personally I'd rather they used Naomi properly over either of them- but the women's tag belts are arguably at their highest levels of relevance now during this Cross/Bliss run.
  23. Is that Boycie? Incredible photo.
  24. Mandrews/Flash vs GYV was really great, just a good fun TV match.
