Marty Sugar Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 To answer the previous question, re: Dunne's and Bate's tattoos... Dunne has had the knee tattoo for a while (but did get a new one commemorating his dog on his ankle, FWIW), but Bate's forearm is new. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 The are taping a week of TV in Chicago too and that is what some of the guys will be doing. For example - they are now advertising Drew Galloway vs Wesley Blake Aleister Black wrestling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCM Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Man I wanted Roddy and Heavy Machinery vs Sanity. I could give a shit less about Roddy vs Eric Young. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Oh fuck EVERYTHING. Ciampa was injured tonight during a house show. Leg injury. Ref threw up the X and he hopped quickly to the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofuture Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 If Ciampa can't compete, I'd imagine they'll replace him with Ohno or maybe even Lorcan. I doubt DIY was winning here anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ref threw up the X and he hopped quickly to the back. It was on the opposite side of the floor from where I was so I couldn't see what actually happened. He did skip right by me quickly on one leg to the back with a pained look on his face. You could pretty much hear the crowd go silent as soon as it happened though.

JCM Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 If Ciampa can't go combine the Strong/Sanity and tag titles into one match. Strong teams with Gargano vs AOP and Sanity. Move Drew's match to the main show. They probably want to keep AOP and Sanity away from each other, but it's a ladder match no one has to get pinned.

RIPPA Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 On the conference call - Triple H said Ciampa suffered a sprained ankle luckily not a break or fracture. He said Ciampa is felling better and as of now - the match is on If the injury worsens today they will come up with an alternative but they are positive about the match happening 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 AOP teaming with anyone doesn't make sense to me. Just doesn't fit with their characters. If Ciampa can't go, you'd be better off with Gargano and Ciampa coming out, Ciampa explaining he can't go, saying that he did find a designated hitter, and out comes Ohno. EDIT: That's good news about Ciampa. Keep it heavily iced all day today and hope it stays strong tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciampa is a tough dude they would probably have to put him in straight jacket to keep him from working the match with anything less than a tear or break.

The Natural Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Predictions: Roode retains the NXT Title against Itami. Asuka keeps the NXT Women's Title from Riot and Cross. Authors of Pain remain the NXT Tag Team Champions beating DIY. Dunne becomes the new UK Champion over Bate. Strong beats Young. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyld Samurai Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I'm not certain Roode retains. Primarily because if Itami loses he essentially is dead in the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie M. Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Owens turning on Jericho was pretty great. Bate vs. Dunne was an instant classic. MOTY for sure in WWE. It was already a MOTYC and then it just kept getting better. The rest of the card was enjoyable enough. I thought a lot of the matches were pretty average but had hot finishes which always helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a total waste of what could have been a much bigger deal down the line. What else is there for them to do as a team, though? If anything, I think it was probably a few months too late in terms of maximum shock value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
