Its sold out. Brock being announced did the trick.
Plus this is not Sheamus fault. Why was Bryan doing the headbutt spot when he knew he had this problem? It all come down to the fact when he returned he came back reckless.

He did headbutts frequently in ROH (watch the McGuinness matches but be prepared to cringe, I have literally never seen a feud permanently fuck up both members quite like that one did)
He stopped in WWE for the most part, then the neck injury happened and he was asked to tone shit down (he even acknowledged as much in a public interview)
A day or two after the interview was Mania, and his match ended with the single stupidest spot I've seen in a PPV opener (the headbutt duel with Dolph, also a frequently-concussed guy). And two days after that he did the headbutts with Sheamus and welp look where the fuck we ended up
That main event of Lucha was so great though. It's awesome to see two guys wrestle that I both want to win and that the booking was such that the loser still looked pretty good. Muertes countering the Drago special by punching Drago in the fucking head was so brutal I fucking loved it. Both gimmicks are so fucking cool and are over the top without ever seeming like 'wink and nudge' that most goofy wrestling gimmicks fall pray to. I'd love to see Los Psycho Circus in Lucha Underground in the future
They're not the best workers in the world, but the gimmick is so money and would fit perfectly in the setting. Lucha Underground is probably the 'coolest' I've seen pro wrestling be in a while even if it has a bunch of flaws. I weirdly enjoy it almost differently than the wrestling I traditionally watch like AJPW or BJW or NJPW. It takes the 'entertainment' part and takes it more in the direction that I think WWE wants to but they have to fill 3 hours of time with it and can't.
Even if they don't have some NJPW levels of stacked talent, Lucha's cast of characters are the best in wrestling right now. The major players are so diverse and weird, and I hope they continue to focus on those guys and not guys like Johnny Mundo or Alberto Del Rio.

ROH was an unbelievably fun show. I loved the opener and the main event so very much. Nothing here was a classic, but it was all very rewatchable and a riot. The Young Bucks are to the new 10s what the Midnights were for the '80s. They're one of the best teams of all time and easily the best of their generation.

That one got some chuckles on the F4W board. Not quite as great as him on the DA debut, but still funny.

Bryan just needs to pull a Shawn. Step away from wrestling, see how he feels in a few years. He may be fucked forever, but if he comes back too soon and gets hurt again, he'll DEFINITELY be fucked forever, but in a far worse position in terms of his health.
They were thinking "What Would Plywood Do?"

I don't need all of Los Psycho Circus, just Psycho. But if we have to have all of them, we also need Los Inferno Rockers. Because damn that would be amazing
People that need to be in LU season 2 in order of importance
1. Faby Apache
2. Psycho Clown
3. Machine Rocker
4. Dinastia
5. Australian Suicide
6. Daga
7. Cibernetico
8. Silver King
9. Taya Valkyrie
10. Another mini, possibly Mini Psychosis
Psycho is a good enough brawler that i would buy this. Easily comes from the best family of brawlers in wrestling in my opinion. Definitely comes from the best family of bleeders too
I don't man, have you seen an El Dandy match lately? Sure, his match with Satanico last year was great, but it's only great if you appreciate lucha mat wrestling and the way it works

He should literally just start every match with "You're already dead."
Then they did the exact opposite.
hey lets have them stand around like a bunch of goobers and clap while the audience claps!
Tough Enough Review:
Diana immediate cut bait
ZZ cut bait
Patrick cut bait
Mada cut bait
Gabi cut bait
Giorgia cut bait
Paige cut bait
-Something, something no cardio days
-Diana's ass cam is very transparent
-Judges are pointless
So far this competition and show is shit, they should at least return to the format from last season.

He's lost a lot of his step in the last few years, but if they repackage him to be more about his prophetic visions thing he's had going for a years, he'd totally work in the LU mythology.
Actually, yeah, just full on make him an aztec priest dude and he'll be fucking great

TNA has the greatest behind the scenes story ever. I can't wait for the book to be released 20 years from now when they finally fold.
Shame, you mean he's a lot slower in the ring now? Last I saw of him was around 2011 and remember being really impressed (it was around the time he was feuding with X-Pac)
GWF continues bringing the hits:
Looks like I'm frat boy Sheamus with a Cena T Shirt, I approve
So what happened on TNA then?
WATCH IMPACT TO FIND OUT.
Hrm, looks like Jarrett just put himself in the King of the Mountain match and that was it?
I refuse to acknowledge the existence of Vader on TNA.

Tommy End is on the art of wrestling
So with all the Jarrett stuff in TNA I looked up some youtube to see if I could watch some of his older TNA matches. Got the Angle vs Jarrett Lockdown match from 2011, skipped to about 19mins and nearly saw Kurt Angle die.
