Well, dang. Dunne vs Gallagher's off, Pete needed 11 stitches to his temple after last night and isn't medically cleared to wrestle on the PROGRESS shows in NYC tonight and Boston tomorrow.
Wonder how WWE will react to this if at all.
Wooooooooow
You mean a rock bottom... SMFH

I at least saw Dunne at Takeover, card is still stacked but fuck that sucks
Was he one of the wrestlers that supposedly staying in the US at the performance center for something?
I think the progress owners should be pissed more because he was main eventing the shows and a belt shot caused this to happen.
edit: Dunne leaving the match face covered in blood

How the fuck does someone do this without Dale Cooper?
Yes, supposed to be there for the rest of the month, wouldn't rule out a Takeover appearance of some sort. He's also the crown jewel of whatever WWE UK is supposed to be. Certainly going to be NXT full time within the next 12 months. One of the Progress owners already vented on Twitter about the situation but deleted his comments (don't be a wrestler if you can't protect your opponent or something like that).

Shoot: Minoru Suzuki (both prime and post prime) can take down Steve Austin (pre neck injury)
wrestling is fake bud

This tweet still is up:
Plus the troll boys are going hard at him on twitter.
Here a better view of what caused it:
https://twitter.com/ThePrideOfNYC/status/896364171570401280
Basically the guy did a shoot pedigree on Dunne on the belt by not releasing his arms on the move.
Shoot: I'm booking Austin to go over.

I would not be surprised if they re-book Dunne vs. Gallagher for Takeover next weekend. If Pete can go by then, that is.
But a really shitty situation for Progress. Lose the main event of one of their biggest shows of the year.

Oh damn, I saw folks referring to it as a belt shot, but I certainly didn't expect that. That's just stupid.

I'd argue even in a real life situation, Suzuki can take down Austin.
Plus, I know it's fake; why do you think I refer to wrestling fans and some posters here as Muppets?
Still is. Just in a crazier way.

Jim tweeted this about the Dunne situation, then deleted it.
in a real life fight yeah i'd take suzuki, he knows mma
but in terms of wrestling its kind of pointless because the winner is predetermined ya know
for example we could put OwensIsNow and me together in a fight and book OwensIsNow to win, even though that would never ever happen

Don't want to ruin any chances of a NJPW relationship when WWE says they no longer need them

Too late cause it's already been screen grabbed.

Really, I think the best solution here is to send someone else into that main event with Gallagher (maybe Haskins?) and make it a number one contenders match for Brooklyn next weekend and just extend the Takeover with an extra match.
Well yeah, that should have become apparent when he said one of his biggest locker room friends was Big Cass.

What you all have done, is take a guy (me) trying to DEFEND your cause, and turned me off by being idiots.
I hope you all fail.

I did not know that. That explains a lot about Corey.

Yew that sucks big time. Probably who I was looking forward to most. Hopefully they can do some sort of last min. surprise match to compensate.
First time in the area. Any places to grab a bite and drink?
Bas had The Look.
Get over yourself, Corey. You were a bang average wrestler and have become boring and stilted on commentary.
Why not go for the three-peat by being a Trump-supporting piece of shit human being too?
