Dijak says he's not taking indie bookings anymore. We all know what that means.



It's happened outside of Full Sail too. I definitely remember it happening at WWE shows. It's just a dumb chant that needs to go away. The intentions are good, so I get why they do it, but it ultimately comes off bad.

Like, I know they are going to do it during the MYC, and WWE will probably love that because it helps them push their narrative.

I only remember one, maybe two, "women's wrestling" chant over the two days of MYC tapings. The matches were too quick for there to be a long enough lull to start up the chant.

So is that elbow drop lady signed with the WWE or is it going to be another Kota who everyone had pegged to win the CWC and then oops nvm hes not signing so fuck him?

Meltz is saying that Brock going back into the testing pool may be because his contact is up next april, and he could be trying to maximise his $ by getting vince and ufc into a bidding war for him, like last time.

UFC could be pretty desperate as they're making less money without ronda & conor hasn't fought in ages (and indeed his next fight isn't even a ufc fight), so they have no stars propping up ppvs.

4.75 for Naito Ibushi.

I agree with that tbh.

I agree, if it had another 10 mins or so it could have crossed the 5 mark.
It was intense but it was short in the scheme of matches we usually see.
Plus I love Ibushi, and it was his first match back but he was a little sloppy, that will get better

Drew McIntyre was the Cody Rhodes of indies before Cody

People actually enjoyed Drew's run though, turned a bit stale in the months before he returned to WWE, but he got what indie wrestling fans wanted to see more than Cody does. Or was better able to adapt.

Very little Cody's done on the indies comes close to Drew's matches with Ricochet, Hero and Riddle.

Yup, I know I have to pay attention when he comes on because it's usually a treat.

By eastern standards it's not. There are instructions all over on how to register and once you're logged into NJPW World it's not awful to figure out.

Easy to sign up but navigation is still terrible. Trying to find older shows is a huge pain in the ass.

Yes, loved it. Really hope it's not a one and done, I don't think you need more of that story but I hope "Prey" becomes Bethesda's xShock brand.

It didn't sell well out of the gate and the director left the developer so it'll be interesting to see where Bethesda take it. They paid all that money for the IP so you can be sure they'll use it somehow.

HashtagLapsed said:
They asked an insane price for Prey on PC here. $80 USD so I don't particularly care how good it is. They can get fucked.

Especially since it dropped to USD $23 on consoles within 6 weeks here.

I saw Rhodes have a blah match against Hero in the middle of Hero's great indies run. Galloway had great matches with Ricochet, Hero, Riddle, Thatcher, and Gargano. His tag stuff with Gargano was also very good.

I like the Destiny 2 beta as well. Thought it was really well done. Confident I'll be hooked all over again. May have to wait until October though.

I still haven't finished The Taken King DLC, and feel bad about it. Got fed up with that jumpy, platforming part, dropped it, and never came back.

I should give it another shot.

I'm already soaring towards losing an avatar bet at the end of the year, I can't risk another.

Also: Some of you may have noticed The Curse of Menome taking a backseat the past few months. I've been saving up a tonne of money to move to Scotland to be with my girlfriend and as such, even the little things like WWE bets and my alimony payments to Zach have had to be cut out.

I should have the first part of the move sorted in the next 2-3 weeks, which is myself and clothes. Then the rest of my belongings a bit after that.

Lucky for you all, I should still be online for most of that time. I'm not going to say that Twin Peaks is making me overlap broadband contracts to ensure I don't miss it, but I'm not going to deny it either.

However, I'll gladly predict some deaths the winners for WWE™ Sports Entertainment Extravaganza Battleground™ Featuring The Punjabi Prison™ Match And Sponsored By Rocket League™ Available Now On Playstation™, Xbox™ and Steam PC™:

Jinder Mahal vs Randy Orton
John Cena vs Rusev
AJ Styles vs Kevin Owens
The New Day vs The Usos
Shinsuke Nakamura vs Baron Corbin
Charlotte for the Women's 5-Way
Sami Zayn vs Mike Kanellis
Tye Dillinger vs Aiden English

Don't you be bringing that curse of yours up here!
I hope everything goes well with the move and you enjoy living in this fine country.
