Jesus, how dreadful! Forgot about Dream Team even being a thing.
I still remember my brother trying to force his way through Dream Team, eventually he had to cave, all I can remember is the focused upon fictional football (or soccer for our friends across the pond) team won a cup, are celebrating with it only for a SNIPER to be lurking, except he botches, shoots the cup and the bullet ricochets killing someone else and that my friends is absolutely bloody hysterical.
HIGH DRAMA
Dream Team is the only show of the past twenty years than can match wrestling for ridiculous storylines.
How is this Ospreay/Shibata match NOT going to be amazing

Makes sense when you consider football/soccer is also the only sport that can match wrestling in selling fake injuries, ohohoho
Disgusting. Who thought of this shit?

I can see that. I don't think that's a bad thing, what you want out of this is getting these guys over to a new audience, I think the Facebook premiere works quite well for this over a "mainstream" yoof show where the reaction will be a lot more mocking.

Genuinely 9/10 friend.
It's been too long since Kane and Taker threw punches at each other, Taker seems pretty cool with being buried alive back in 2010...again.
It'd be 10/10 if Kane actually had a chance of one upping Taker.

Well I know what I'm watching after work. Man their match at New Beginning is going to be incredible
2008 was one of the best years for WWE. Jericho/HBK feud going the entire year, Undertaker/Edge feud going the entire year, Beth Phoenix/Santino, the rise of CM Punk and Jeff Hardy to the main event. Watch every Raw and Smackdown that year.
You can't win, you won't win. Give up now. There is only the all consuming monolith, the golden king atop the mount to whom all must pay tribute. His is the only voice that rises above the din of the crowd, the only voice of true reason and power. Bow down, bow down to the king.
All fucking hail.
All fucking hail.

Ted Turner needs to get back into the biz and put Vince Jr firmly back in his place.

Triple H is so obsessed with being over he's going over the other companies

I'm not sure why Triple H would admit NXT isn't doing so good the day before a PPV.
I mean I agree with him, but it seems odd.

Is Samoa Joe injured or something? Why isn't he on the NXT card?
He might be at the RR and he has no one to wrestle.
Because he's gonna be at the Rumble.

I'd rather they throw him in the main event. Make that shit a triple threat
Well, because of high ticket prices, don't forget that part.

FloSlam without EVOLVE would be utterly, utterly worthless and you can guaran-damn-tee I'd be asking for a refund. I certainly wouldn't be replacing it with a Network sub though, EVOLVE could go and fuck themselves right along with WWE.

seems a bit much, if they want the network to be a Fight Pass, why not
EDIT: I agree though, EVOLVE goes and Flo cannot justify $20

I loved the Mexicools.
Well the PPVs are always good, it's the TV that's very slow (and not just in a "deliberately developed" way as it was before), with a lot lacking in both roster and angles, which used to be a strength.
WWE are blatantly trying to kill Floslam before it really gets going. Competition, even if you can consider Flo that, cannot and will not be tolerated.

How paranoid must they be to go full roughshot on the independent scene? They're never going to be competitive with WWE so what's their fucking problem. It's pathetic.
And irony is not lost on me that one of WWE's executives is now head of the Small Business Administration.

Sick of Triple H trying to put his sticky little fingers into all the pies. Also, I like my alternatives free of the thing they're providing an alternative to - not excited for the co-opted indie wrestling future.
Words was right. We should have listened!
WWE is constantly, for its entire existence, paranoid as FUCK about everything ever. Vince made his living going into other territories, taking all of their talent and putting them out of business. It ain't gonna stop now.

I'm not going to lose my shit until the product starts to change. Losing the UK guys doesn't count.

I know I know
But even then this isn't really comparable with the territories, at least they were mainly of a similar size. God this is depressing...
Do we get entrance themes this year, or is the music still censored when streaming?
I'm going to not use the built in PS4 streaming, so we'll get theme music. Problem is all the CAWs will probably have some generic ass music

All the eggs in one basket is never a good move. Considering the amount of content WWE owns right now and should something ever happen to them financially there is a huge catalog of content that could go away. Or worse be split up 8 different ways across 10 different subs.
If you can, give the CAWS Mr Ass's theme.
Not for long, if this UK thing goes well...
Although I very much doubt they will be able to do the same for Mexico, a market they have consistently failed in their entire history.

Yeah good fucking luck trying to take over in Japan.
