Nothing on the card for the York Hall show really grabbed me, plus that venue is the worst for triggering migranes in me. Boiling hot, no drinks even water at your seat, and a ring that's falling apart.

Yeah, it really is the shits, but is perfect for me because it's so close to Liverpool Street. I've managed to sneak in a bottle of water the past few times I've been there, though.

Ospreay vs Styles should be good, but I'm not a fan of the way RevPro announce matches - they announce Romero for the show on the 22nd and the Wolves for the show on the 8th, but then won't confirm if those guys will be there on the 15th until they're ready (i.e, a week or so before the show). That might be how other promotions like PROGRESS do it, but they aren't running 3 shows in a month.

Here is my FOUL FIVE reasons to hate the UK...

1. Mr. Bean

 

[Alucard]

My Goddaughter turned 9, so there's gonna be a wild party

Spoiler

of out-of-control 9-year-olds wrecking my brothers house and then also a bunch of old fucks like me discussing politics and terrorist attacks.

Good times.

That sounds like fun. Kind of. Enjoy.

Good show at Korakuen from Dragon Gate today - Susumu beat Big R in the Dream Gate no.1 contender tournament finals, so he gets a shot against BxB Hulk in the future. Also, Yuuga Hayashi & Kotoka joined the Millennials, Dr. Muscle turned on MAD BLANKEY, revealed himself to be Kzy and joined Dia HEARTS. All three factions will face off in a huge 6 vs 6 vs 6 tag match made for next month's Korakuen, which should be awesome.

 

[Alucard]

All right, so I've come to accept that this is the direction of WWE's creative:

-Rollins comes out of Rumble as Champion
-Reigns wins the Rumble

Mania:
-Reigns vs. Rollins
-Bryan vs. Brock
-Cena vs. Rusev
-HHH/Partner vs. Sting/Undertaker

???

The Demon Kane doing a Spicy Wing challenge. The promos write themselves.

Fine by me. I have a nasty feeling it's gonna be Hogan vs. Rusev though.

 

[British Monsoon]

Yeah, I've got little problem with that Mania line-up, other than that hack Cena, obviously. Can't wait to see how far Rusev falls after getting the Cena treatment.

Hunicara is stepping his game up.

 

[British Monsoon]

God, no.

Incidentally, anyone else find Hulk to be a huge fucking asshole in his feud with Nikolai? All he wanted to do was wave his flag and sing the Russian national anthem, but Hulk couldn't abide that shit. Ventura pointed out Hulk's hypocrisy, acting like a bastion of American virtues, only to then shit all over Nikolai's freedom of speech & expression. Fucking disgusting hate monger, that Hulk Hogan.

I haven't considered Sting & Taker teaming together. That would be a very good idea to get fans invested in a Taker WM match now that is unbeaten streak is gone. Only guy I can think of on the current roster for HHH's partner is Demon Kane. Batista would be better but I'm not expecting him to show up.

Edit: Eurgh, thought of another one. Big Show.

 

[British Monsoon]

That King of Indies tournament at Mania weekend looks the drizzling shits. ROH's Top Prospect Tournament looks shite as well. Is BOLA the only tournament worth a damn in the US these days?

No, stop right there. That would actually be awesome: HHH & Kane vs. Sting & Undertaker.

 

[Alucard]

We could also get Hogan turning heel and teaming with HHH, OR staying face and teaming up with either Sting in his match against HHH, OR teaming with Cena against Rusev and another old Russian guy.

 

[strobogo]

God, no.

That's every Hogan feud. He was more of a cunt than Cena. He'd constantly cheat before the heels did, he was an incredibly sore loser, he threw his friends under the bus at every opportunity and then would be indignant if his friends did the same to him, he frequently attacked non-wrestlers, and invoked the name of God to enable him to be a huge hypocrite.

So one could say that he's a 'Real American' if you wheeeeeel?

 

[British Monsoon]

What does it say about Vince that Hogan & Cena are his idea of heroes, when they're both spectacularly massive cunts?

 

[Alucard]

So what if we get Taker/Sting teaming up, and that leaves Hogan open to do a tag with Cena against Rusev and another legend.

Wonder if WWE would be okay having Sting's only match be in a tag, though. They likely want to give him a huge one-off match. Facing HHH would probably produce the best match, but that would mean old man Taker would have to find another dance partner. Hogan also wants a match at Mania by everything he said on Jericho's podcast. I don't want three old guy matches. Would rather have at least two of those guys in one match if we get Sting, Taker, and Hogan all at this Mania.

DGUSA/Evolve is already 0 for 2 with tournaments at Mania weekend (Evolve 2013 was disappointing, DGUSA trios in 2014 was mostly bad) so I had no interest in this to begin with. Maybe someone can win over the fans during the weekend and earn some buzz but I see a lot of rubbish aswell.

 

[Browny]

Happy Friday, guys. Any plans for this weekend?

I have (after midday Saturday) a free weekend! Wifey and daughter are up to her parents til Tuesday, so I have the opportunity to sit around in my pants and watch TV.

Will probably end up:

• Washing the car (hasn't been done for 3 months)
• Catching up on NJPW
• Going to Ikea
• Play some Star Wars LCG
• Sit around in my pants watching films

Woot.

 

[strobogo]

Hogan/Sting/Taker/Cena vs Rusev/Volkoff/Vladimir Kozlov/Nikita Koloff

 

[FindingGreedo]

Yeah, I've got little problem with that Mania line-up, other than that hack Cena, obviously. Can't wait to see how far Rusev falls after getting the Cena treatment.

He'll be hanging out with Santino before the end of the year.

 

[abstract alien]

Randomly turned on my radio and Roman Reigns in talking about his transitioning from football to wrestling.

 

[lovely ladies]

Rowan Atkinson is a national treasure.

 

[FlammableD]

Here is my FOUL FIVE reasons to hate the UK...
1. Mr. Bean

 

[FindingGreedo]

Rowan Atkinson is a national treasure.

Totally concur, though not necessarily for Mr Bean, I never thought it was his best stuff. Fun but just not his best.

 

[Gonzalez]

I don't get it. Is he a mentally challenged Brit, or is he an offensive stereotype of a minority?

 

[Fox318]

 

[SaturdayNFever]

Vince, please leave Hogan out of WM!!, or any other wrestler that has no business being in the ring at whats considered to be the Superbowl of wrestling.

Its time to hang it up Hogan, I love you "brotha", do you thing with supporting Breast Cancer, much props to all the wrestlers supporting efforts such as that.

I cant stand Cena as well, but damn, they guy puts in some serious hours in efforts to help those less fortunate, much props as well.

 

[imBask]

how can anyone hate Mr Bean what the hell is going on this morning

 

[FlammableD]

I don't get. Is he a mentally challenged Brit, or is he an offensive stereotype of a minority?

He's definitely not a stereotype. "Mentally challenged" is probably as close a description you can get, though I don't think it's played as any sort of illness/disability, just a bit of a dense klutz.

 

[Fox318]

Hogan vs Nash for the belt at mania.

 

[miserable]

Hogan vs Nash for the belt at mania.

what belt? Hogan's weightlifting belt?

 

[Killing_Joke]

Hmm, i always liked the boiler room match. The crowd seemed pretty into it too *shrugs*

 

[BronsonLee]

stro hating HOH is both fitting and fucking hilarious

 

[Browny]

what belt? Hogan's weightlifting belt?

Yappapi!!!

 

[strobogo]

God damn, Heyman with the strongest burn this side of "Diet Chris Tucker":


On the Alliance/Invasion angle:

" A watered down version of a bad episode of Thunder against the entire WWE."

 

[Fox318]

 

[Aiii]

Yappapi!!!

Brilliant!

 

[SaturdayNFever]

what belt? Hogan's weightlifting belt?

Maybe Ted would put up the Million Dollar belt for that match! LOL

 

[Gonzalez]

Matches that are pre-taped for live show are way too fake even for pro wrestling.

 

[FindingGreedo]

That suddenly doesn't look like hot sauce any more....

 

[DiscoJon]

Guys. Friends. Wrasslegaffers.

I've been acting like a right bastard the last few weeks. No, months (shit, maybe my whole GAF career) to most of you. I've been way to personal on insults and trying to "one-up" you all. I just want to apologize to you all if I've been too much of a bastard too you. I know that includes Sunny and Bootaaay most of all. I guess my drunken-ass instinct is to go after the biggest dudes in the room or something.

Anyways. I know I don't post that much, but I hope I can provide a few laughs here and there for you all. If I start to become way too personal, please call me out or message me about it.





















































































What? Were you expecting that CMPunk.gif I always post? C'mon...

I feel a distinct sense of dread right now, like the world is about to end.

Not sure what do with myself right now, I feel like I should call my mom and tell her I love her.

 

[Browny]

I'll admit, I'm disappointed now.

 

[Masquerader]

They're his self-insert OCs, of course.

... WWE is currently a Fanfiction more than ever, though.

 

[Fox318]

What would have Punk looked like in Immortals?
