So the NXT Takeover thread says you can get 3 free months of the WWE Network but on the website they're offering a month-long trial. What am I missing?

Everyone and their mother knows this fight is a joke. I am excited to see how carny they go. Does Mayweather just win it clean like he should, do either of them pull an ultra carny like a DQ, or maybe Mayweather suffers a hand break to get that rematch money. Oh man, and the entrances, I fucking need it now.

McGreggor either getting the fix or pulling off the upset of the century would be my carny dream.

I hope for an ultra carny DQ type situation.

The ultimate carny would be Floyd wins every round and the judges give it to Conor.

Ideally the bell rings, they hug, and then laugh as they leave the ring having made a stupid amount of money for nothing

Everyone wins
Floyd's protected, Conor's image is protected, fans are happy because clearly it'll be more interesting than a real match

Except Conor. He'll lose his whole purse if he pulls something like that. lol

Maybe the Carnival Commission is involved and want it to happen, protecting his payday.

FWIW, in the interview with E&C, Bryan did say that completely understands why WWE wouldn't clear him and why they would want to ensure he doesn't get hurt on their watch. He said they were doing what they felt was best for him.
So it doesn't seem like he holds any grudges over the situation.

Also, apparently Roman hates Trump.
So that's nice.

Although, to be honest, I would not put money on Mayweather in this fight. Too much fuckery in play.

The great thing here is that he hated Trump from the beginning. Not even a recent thing.
Was about to say the same thing. With Roman being the "locker room leader" apparently now, it makes sense that a super vocal Trump supporter would have heat.

So who did Rowan and Harper piss off to be MIA?

Yeah that makes sense with Cass having heat. Plus Roman has a big respect for the business now which also ties into why he and a lot of the others wouldn't like Enzo just bragging about how the business just makes him a lot of money.

Really? What did he do recently?
yooooo this bryan interview with edge and christian
after 45 minutes of talking about breast milk, bryan finally starts talking about G1. he said he didn't bring his indy "vicious mat-based style" to WWE because he though the casuals would think it was too slow.
then he saw ZSJ during the G1 and says "he did it better than I ever did! why did I not think of that?" He thinks ZSJ is a genius.
He also believes Ricochet/Ospreay is unbelievable and says they were doing things in their matches that he could never even conceive.
Bryan heard a story that Hot Topic reps were at a Wrestlemania weekend and they asked WWE "hey we'd like to carry some of those bullet club shirts".
and WWE's like "that's not our stuff"
and hot topic is like "Wtf this shirt is everywhere it's not yours? who's is it?"
bryan idolizes lawler because he had a heart attack and still goes out there to wrestle. same with terry funk. no reason to wrestle (both legends, both well off) but they do it because they love it.
Bryan doesn't watch Raw because he's usually travelling on mondays but he says chad gable and aiden english stand out to him. he praised that randomly amazing gable vs rusev match from a few weeks back.
he mentioned that he was talking to one of the guys working in mcmahon jr's promotion and he told bryan that he's disappointed that he was given a push, felt like he was really impressive but the company ended their push anyways, which is demoralizing. so bryan says "well, hopefully they'll come back around... also when is your contract up? cause it's never been a better time to work the indies!"
re the main event of mania 30: "it was a really cool moment, but I live in the now"
re the people who say "you have a wife and kid now, shouldn't you be happy?" - he says he is happy, but he says the feeling wrestling gives him is something that can't be replaced
around wrestlemania 30, vince told bryan "you know pal, we really want to make roman the next john cena."
bryan's response "i totally support that, but you know something? I want to be the next john cena!"
they found a lesion on his brain and concluded that his reflexes were slower than a mma fighter or athlete, but still faster than a regular person. bryan's response, "oh no! I don't think they realize I'm just a regular person and not a real athlete!"
bryan was ok with doing commentary for cwc and helping get guys over... then they forced him to be smackdown gm. he learned how to cut promos, but was never really a promo guy. obviously his favorite part about wrestling is wrestling. he started feeling sad being around it week to week... and then had to sit ringside for a dean ambrose/aj styles match... "and it literally tore my heart apart. I don't want to be sitting here doing this, I want to be doing that!" at that point he realized "I'm not ok with this", so now he's getting ready for his in ring comeback.
he's done 40 treatments in a hyperbolic time chamber, and his brain scans show legitimate improvement. his doctor tells him if he does 80 more (120 total) his brain will look like someone's who has never played any contact sports. he currently has a brain that resembles an average college football player (ie not someone who is out there that's rough as fuck and maybe more susceptible to head injuries)
he thinks it's ridiculous to say he can't do right now what lawler and funk do in their 60s.

Who else can be added to that list?
I'd suggest Becky and Bayley because I have never heard a bad word about those two. They don't even have obviously fake rumors of them having heat with someone.
Mike Henry as well.
