It put so much strain on him it cost his career.
Doctor thinks its an infection because of my white blood cell count. Been dehydrated, having a lot of moment of light headedness and heavy headedness.
I love me a super long main event.

World of Sport Wrestling makes a historic and triumphant return to ITV for a one-off special, with an exciting mix of fast paced action and family fun for all.
30 years after the original ended, ITV brings together the UKs top wrestling talent in a spectacular display of their sport; a showcase for the next generation of WOS Wrestling.
This two hour special will see some of the finest pro wrestlers in the UK such as Grado, Mastiff and Viper compete in front of a live studio audience across seven rounds of fast-paced and intense bouts. At the end of the show only one fighter will take home the WOS Wrestling Championship belt.
From singles to knockout rounds, tag team bouts and ladder matches where fighters must be the first to the top of a ladder and physically grab a contract to win, through to a seven-man elimination fight, each and every fighter is in it to win it.
Hosting the highly anticipated television event and commentating as the action unfolds is world-renowned wrestling commentator Jim Ross, alongside professional British wrestler and commentator Alex Shane.
Between rounds, the action moves backstage to hear from the wrestlers and get their reactions to the unfolding drama in the ring, be it triumph or anguish. Theyll also hear from WOS Wrestlings general manager Mr Beesley.
Reminding viewers of the history of WOS Wrestling, the one-off will also take a look back at the original World of Sport Wrestling, with archive footage and interviews with wrestling heroes of the past including Rollerball Rocco, Johnny Saint and Klondyke Kate.
Speaking about the historic return of WOS Wrestling commentator Jim Ross said: Ive been blessed to have had a 40 year plus broadcast career, but can honestly say being part of ITV Studios production of World of Sport Wrestling has been a career highlight for me. The wrestling talent assembled is brilliant on all levels and they have succeeded in living their wrestling dream on this iconic brand. World of Sport Wrestling lives again!

Don't know shit about ROH, but 99.999% chance I'm going to Final Battle tonight. It'll be cool to see Young Bucks, Ospreay, etc. before they get scooped by Vince.
Haven't been to a live wrestling show since ECW! Gonna drink some beers and enjoy the wrasslin.

Sounds like it was a solid, if unspectacular show from what I heard from the tapings. Very, very interested to see how it turns out on TV. Gonna have to miss it live cos I'm going to be in Canada when it airs.

I think Ambrose gets massive bonus points for how much he regressed once he hit the main event picture though

Fuck.
I forgot he was doing commentary. No doubt he'll be sure to put himself over and all he's done for British wrestling, etc.
Nice, enjoy! Saw The Bucks vs The Briscoes in London a few weeks ago and it was fantastic, tonight's match should hopefully top it.

Even Da Big Guy can be a hero.
I would say up until Roadbloack, the hype was still justified. After that, it's just downhill and that's sad. Ambrose was one of my favourites right out of the gate when I started watching wrestling and I've tried to keep that fandom going, but it's just a struggle to keep up any enthusiasm now.

Ziggler vs Ambrose at Summerslam was one of the most disappointing matches of the year. Such amazing build up, such a boring and average match.

I heard the backstage segments are very much inspired by Dario Cuerto.

I would've guessed Sandow/Aron Rex for how he was talked up when he was released, and how he's performed since.
....really? I hope they have an actor as talented as Luis Fernandez-Gil to pull it off.
It looks like a 5-Star match next to Ambrose/Lesnar at WM32 though.
Also from the Network survey:
Interesting to see where they divide the "eras" internally.
these fucking names suck wwe
this is the correct naming
The Golden Era (1984-1994)
Begins with Hogan winning the title, enter the 80s Wrestling boom. Ends with Hogan going to WCW.
The New Generation (1994-1997)
With Hogan gone by June of 1994, a new era of main eventers begins in WWF. Enter the rise of Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart and Kevin "it's fuckin fake" Nash. WWF suffered its worst ratings ever, until
The Attitude Era (1997-2001)
The greatest era begins with the greatest match ever at Wrestlemania 13 between Bret Hart and Stone Cold Steve Austin. On that night, Austin solidified himself as the future of the wrestling business. The era definitively ended with the death of WCW in 2001 and the greatest PPV of all time, Wrestlemania X7.
The Invasion Era (2001-2002)
At Mania X7, Stone Cold turned heel and WWF stopped trying because they no longer had any competition. Enter the Invasion era. The Invasion Era ended at Wrestlemania X8 when the greatest invaders of all, the NWO, were defeated by the best of the WWF. The next night on Raw, a new mother fucker would appear and powerbomb this shit era to a close.
Ruthless Aggression (2002-2004)
The debut of Brock Lesnar and rise of WORK RATE with Paul Heyman's Smackdown. This era ended when Brock left, and aggression within the company became instantly less ruthless.
The Dark Era (2004-2008)
With Lesnar gone, WWE needed to find a new "GUY". Enter the rise of John Cena. Eddie drops dead. Nothing memorable really happens during this era. ECW made a brief comeback and was subsequently fucking DESTROYED by Vince Mcmahon. Then Benoit kills his wife and kid and himself. Enter...
The PG Era (2008-2011)
WWE responded to Benoit by making their product more family friendly. And by family friendly, I mean goofy and kiddy and stupid as fuck. John Cena is the guy. Michael Cole as a heel. R Truth and Miz in the main event. Guest hosts. Even less happened during this era than the Dark era.
The Reality Era (2011-Now)
CM Punk drops one of the greatest promos of all time, leading to one of the greatest matches of all time at Money in the Bank 2011. Combined with the return of The Rock, lapsed fans begins to tune back into the product. More and more part timers return to WWE, bringing back more and more older fans. Hardcore fans begin to hijack shows with inappropriate chants, booing the lame ass characters that got over in the PG era. Enter the rise of Daniel Bryan. Divas become women. The rise of NXT: WWE raids New Japan Pro Wrestling, TNA and ROH for the greatest WRESTLING talent in the world. There is a clear change in philosophy from the prior era, and this can mostly be attributed by the buzz Punk brought to the product with that promo.

I dunno. While Ambrose vs Lesnar was also insanely disappointing, there seemed to be a reason if Ambrose's word that Brock was too lazy to work with him on bringing some actual brawl to the match. It's a dick move by Brock but it gives some justification as to why the match sucked.
Ziggler vs Ambrose just flat out sucked with that awful barricade jump botch and a weird finish, and just overall a pretty bad match. And from what I recall there isn't any reasons going around to explain it, the match just seemed to be bad.

Deuce & Domino had a great theme.
Data jobbing to his body like his name was The Gambler.
What is it about the WCW jobbers that make them so charming to watch?
Sure you know they aren't gonna win or that they will get a main event push but in WWE with 50 50 booking they cant get guys to be half as charismatic as fucking d level cruiseweights.
