That's way better than their "giant logo" belt.

Now I will have my revenge for how they treated me!

Talking about how guys like Jason and Jordan went from a special top draw to something you wouldn't give a shit about.
Also.how people like Harper don't get a run like they deserve for the familiar hand of say Kane or Ziggler.
And most of all how they took a fucking huge mega star in La Sombra and turned him into a bum.

Not even trying to knock Cole but why aren't they having Regal and Nigel be the commentators? I'm sure that Regal has been so immersed in the company that he could be a lead guy like Cole for this event.

I don't disagree here, but part of the problem (IMO) is when you have a roster as stacked as WWE. Not every guy is top tier, but so many of them have name/brand recognition with fans.
This is why I hate some of the legends contracts they do. And contracts like they have with brock.

It's the return of the European Championship!
In seriousness, I love that Trips is trying to turn WWE into a new NWA and opening the door for independent guys to showcase their abilities. Hopefully we'll see the same happen soon in Japan, a WWE/New Japan alliance would make me cream my pants.

More than ever, they try so hard with "look guys, records!" and "first ever!" drivel.

NXT is a solid product and much closer to what WWE UK will likely be than a Battle Royal Trophy
And now he's pissed he was worked into a shoot that became a work and is now shoot pissed that Vader worked him into the job
Why would NJPW align with the people who took their one of biggest stars?

No thanks, I'm glad New Japan told WWE to fuck off when they wanted their PPVs on the Network.

friends, which was the bigger shock to you: WCW dying (and being bought by Vince), or Sega leaving the console hardware business?
for me it was Sega, mainly because I loved the Dreamcast and I just couldn't understand the financial situation they were in. I thought they were selling the DC like hotcakes based on the fantastic hardware and software on it, but back then I didn't know the sales data. when my friend told me the news it hit me like a ton of bricks.
I didn't really care about WCW then because I wasn't watching wrestling since spring of '99, and if I recall correctly I only found out about the news like a year later when I randomly accessed WWF's website right before WM 18. sure it was a surprise but it didn't have the impact of Sega on me
funny how both events happened around the same time

If the weekly show is run by Regal & H over Vince I'm really interested in what they're doing out there.

Probably Sega because it was more relatable and it was something we owned. Even though I went ps with the 1 and my cousins went Nintendo with the 64. But we still had our genesis so it was shocking, we thought the dreamcast was selling well but I guess we were wrong. Hell, especially with ghe screen on the controlled lol.
I probably stopped watching around the time you did. Maybe earlier. So I didn't care too much then, but I was surprised. And I found out the weirdest way possible: my total non-fan grandpa told me he read in the newspaper that WWF bought WCW because he knew I used to watch. That's the only reason I knew to watch the final Nitro.

Who are some of the best wrestlers out of the new UK tournament then?
An evening of watching UK wrestling is upon me.

BULL!
The two men in that photo, Pete Dunne and Trent Severn are two excellent talents you need to check out. Also look up Tyler Bate.

Pete Dunne, Tyler Bate & Trent Seven are the real stand-outs, Wolfgang & T-Bone are the two notable veteran names, while Bodyguy Roy Johnson, Dan Moloney, Jordan Devlin (one of Balor's students), James Drake & Joseph Connors are all good up-and-comers.

Lots of nasty things you can do from there.
You can easily break a ton just with your elbow from here.

So while everyone was telling bull to lose weight you were out there telling "HEY GET FAT LOSER. GO DRINK SOME MILK AND EAT TACO BELL"
I wasn't saying shit because Bull was a lost cause no matter what

Does anyone subscribe to NJPW in NA? I'm looking for a rundown. How much does it cost? How much newcontent to do you get? Weekly shows? How often are there big shows/PPVs? Can you stream it on PS4? How English friendly is the website? Etc.
Basically, what do I need to know?

Well, yeah.
It's amazing just how frequently they've done it over the years.
Blah blah blah "how's your territory" blah blah blah "look at how much profit we're generating".
