Something literally amazing for Mania would be a breath of fresh air so I hope they do keep it to themselves.
I'm still not getting my hopes up.

He said tonight might have bern his last match.
Doesnt know when or even if he'll be back. He didnt even leave the ring with the title. Won it, celebrated with it, cut his goodbye promo, got announced for one night only as ECCW champion, celebrated with the belt one last time and left the ring leaving the belt respectfully in the ring.
He went out with a fucking baller of a match though...
They do video reviews of wrestling storylines, ppv by ppv (and sometimes more.) While covering the Hogan in WWF era they reviewed that movie. Every episode is highly entertaining.

I wonder what a purely indy style wrestling show would look like on a big WWE stage.
The show I went to tonight was prety much more fun than most WWE shows I've seen in the past few years but it was so indy....
I can't help but be curious what it would look like on the big stage.
I know it wouldn't work but I'd still love to see it

Kinda related to that, I feel like wrestlers look less impressive when it's a big arena.
Like, American Alpha in NXT looked damn good, but when they make their entrance on Smackdown they kinda look like scrubs
posted I assume?
damn :/ It wasnt amazing but it wasnt terrible tbh, and people didnt even give it a chance. Bums me out because this type of stuff is exactly what I want more from the network, not fucking foley reality shows and shit.

I cannot find that poll on their Fbook page, either they deleted it or it's fake.

Hmm can't seem to find it now probably deleted because that's embarrassing.

Weird but I prefer the shit that deals with wrestling. Not the reality shit that exposes the outside of it.
For instance, the rivalries series, I want more. Give me my old archives, fuck this other bullshit. Fuck corey and stupid tattoos, hell fuck corey in general. Fuck unfiltered. The story time and table for 3 is great stuff. And also even though it contradicts me saying that I hate the exposure, give me another season of legend's house.
This year hopefully they crank it up big time
I'm not sure what they expected from it, unless they have no idea who's actively following them in a platform like Facebook, it's pretty clear this thing is watched by 10-15% of the Network subs to begin with, now imagine the % of fb followers

Why would they even include that as an option?
And "it wasnt amazing but it wasnt terrible" is pretty much exactly what everyone expected. There's so much wrestling these days that you have to do better than mediocre to stand out.
WWE Network as an app/website is trash, but one of the very worst things they do is pretend they're some 24 channel, instead of promoting key shows.
The UKCT promo graphics are just shoved in line with everything else. Any episode of their network originals are given as much priorities as pay per views. They should really promote major events as upcoming things above all other regular content.
You can't even look up dates on upcoming events, just an ongoing hour-by-hour schedule.
Fixing this would probably help them promote things like UKTV above the rest.

Him being called Taskmaster is fine it could have worked. The problem was also Sullivan looking like a chump every time. I feel like they only kept him around to laugh at hin
Holy Shit
I don't even really care if he's on gear, the dude deserves at least some time with a body he can actually move around in
Shadows of the Damned is so damn good. Too bad that one is never getting a sequel.
Definitely deserved more love
You know what you must do, assuming you have a 360, PS3 or an XB1 and it comes BC one day.
Alas, my 360 is now with my sister and I had to sell my PS3 last year. Need to get a cheap one now that I'm working again, as I need my fix of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and it's not on PSNow in the UK.

Sami getting called the fuck out by my man Tyson.

I think he should have just worded it a bit better and he was just complimenting the modification of the move the guy made.
I'm hoping the fact they haven't said what it is means it actually is something amazing planned and the two of them actually want to see it so they won't leak it out to keep Vince happy.
ROMAN VS STROMAN, ONCE IN A LIFETIME!
Nah by then Sami and Stroman are going to be the new Helms and Kane.

Remember when word got out that WWE was going to tackle an LGBT character and then a while later we got Johnny Knockout?
Not so good times.
Not so good times.
Having the UK tournament air during NFL Playoff weekend doesn't help matters much, either.

I may be wrong but I feel like the UK tournament had way less build up than the CWC. The CWC also had a few recognizable American names which probably helped a bunch.
If this isn't in the February OT (and every OT thereafter) then we may as well all go home.
I'm behind you. Don't turn around.
You want a beautiful name? Soda.
Cue March when the card sucks, "I guess he changed it anyway".

I almost want to believe someone in WWE told him to make himself look like Balor because he was trained by him.
