Nobody should be judged by WM. WM draws because it is WM and most of those tickets are sold before anyone even knows what the direction is.
You want to see who the draws are? Look at house shows and merchandise, where Roman falls behind guys like Seth and AJ.

Fucker's got his fingers in so many pies, WoS, NGW, WCPW, now the Butlins camps. Presumably, the more paydays ITV can guarantee, the more likely wrestlers are to sign exclusive contracts - with the camps under his thumb, Shane can guarantee a ton more dates.

Kind of sounds like Alvarez is guessing off the guesses of other people on the AA thing.
I think Vince definitely prefers Jason Jordan but I don't see him getting the big solo push just yet. Plus, without Gable this guy probably doesn't stand much of a chance of being a big star.

Even if they broke them up they might forget the next week like they did Rhyno and Heath.

People shit on the Ospreay/Ricochet matches as being nothing but flippy-do's without acknowledging that, regardless of what you think of their matches, their athleticism is simply amazing and they're ridiculously talented. Perhaps it's because people don't know what bad flippy-do's actually look like, so BEHOLD;

That is some cringe worthy shit, fucking hell.
The Ospreay/Ricochet match from NJPW was very unfairly shit on, I think.

I dare them to do it, Jason's career was saved by Chad and he'll be exposed as only a good hot tag like Roman was. If this gets chad more exposure and a 1 on 1 was aj I'm all for it.

nb: every time he types it, dave means "What Culture" not "Wrestle Culture"
EDIT: Honestly, if those are the terms, and it's a 1 year contract, I'm not as down on these as I was. Get 16k to work most of the places you wanted to work anyway, and get an opt out after a year. If you were already planning to do at least another year in Britain, might as well take the money.

Had to chuckle at WCPW getting shafted after they gleefully reported "no restrictions!!" on anyone signed to a WWE UK contract.

Still, Regal lying to their face is a bad look for WWE as the benevolent invaders

It's clear that they're just trying to cripple World of Sport if it gets picked up for a full series. Just seems like the guys they ended up signing aren't enough to do that with how much top-tier UK talent is still out there without a mark deal.

Fully hoping WoS isn't total shit and gets picked up as a full-time series, tbh.
I'm not sure they're that bothered one way or the other, they've seen there's money to be made in the UK and they're going to make it regardless. Besides, they can always win back internet points by doing something perceived as "cool" on their behalf, like the CWC qualifying matches, or sending Finn to ICW & OTT.

So I wonder if the plan is for the Wyatts to win back the titles at the Rumble with the team being Bray/Randy.
To further along the idea that Luke is the weak link.
Like maybe that was the plan with Hype Bros but with Ryder's injury they're doing it with AA instead

It's Bryan Alvarez, which means American Alpha will remain together for the next decade.
holy shit. Can we admit already that we kinda like Corbin? Causa I kinda like Corbin. I even like his weird big man look, at least he's not another jacked up freak.

I may be more cynical than most, but I feel most wrestling fans already know how to get their bread buttered pretty easily.
I think it is fantastically great itv are doing a WOS special, but it is really hard to see it taking off, as much as it would be great to see.
I find it hard to see wrestling being a big cultural phenomenom again. WWE freaking out about it is kind of funny though.

I like him, dude is dedicated,puts in the effort to be a main eventer, and him winning the battle Royale at wrestlemania was one of the best moments of the mediocre event.
Was this his first comeback match or was this after?
Corbin grew on me near the end of his NXT run when he became "Fuck your favorite indie star" Baron Corbin
Second match back. First he was wearing jeans and Jesus wife beater.
P.S. The state of Sephzilla's avatar.
And knee pads and boots that clash, and haircut.
I'll look into it. Thanks.
I'm not Data West (good lord can you imagine such a fate?) but Krnny Omega vs Naito was up there

I must admit all year I found it hard to imagine the Pissing the Crowd Off factor of Mania 32 being topped by Mania 33, but being months away from it and knowing two of the likeliest results are Cena and Reigns both leaving with belts makes me feel it might actually be easily pulled off

OT should be up tonight, I've got the evening free. I have the images uploaded and am doing the match write-ups now.
I was standing up from my couch for the last 5 minutes of the match. Soo good.

Who I'll fight them all right now.
Hogan's main event run in the 2000s was weirdly awesome. On paper, old fart Hulk Hogan winning a WWE title using the Hulkamania gimmick again shouldn't have worked especially in the wake of the Attitude Era. But fans collectively said fuck it because they wanted another dose of Hulkamania
IIRC there was back story to Shawn's attire at SS 2002, something about his original choice not being available so he had to borrow / acquire some, which were of course not great...
In other news, my boiler is nearly in (after 2 days of being without hot water), so I'll finally be able to have a bath and watch some NJPW. Also have painted half my front room and am currently watching The Last Crusade.

Jobber Naito will be counting the lights again soon
