The Take over in London is going to be live:

WWE has confirmed that the NXT Takeover: London special will be live and not on a tape delay on the WWE Network. That means the show will air at 3 PM ET/Noon PT on December 16th instead of the usual late afternoon/evening start.

So it run live at 3pm and then probably have it the usual time of 8pm.

Here are 3 matches that will most likely be on the show:

Joe vs Balor
Corbin vs Crews
Emma vs Asuka

I miss Eddie :(

His death was the end of my interest in wrestling. I remember watching his tribute Raw and just... not wanting to watch anymore.

My sister, who started watching NXT after watching Sasha vs Bayley 1, showed that match to a friend today who totally got into it and started hating on Sasha.

WWE has so much potential to get to new audiences is incredible. Yet Sasha is barely used and the women's devision on Raw is totally watered down.

Bayley is a license to print money but I'm pretty sure they have no idea how to bring her NXT gimmick up to the main roster properly.

Oh they won't know what to do that's for sure. It has the chance to be another Emma.

My sister really likes Bayley and watches NXT pretty much for her. She isn't interested in Raw pretty much because their women's division is crap.

Luckily for us Bayley has 3 viable programs going on right now (Alexa, Nia and eventually Asuka) so she'll be in NXT for a while yet.

No, 2K16 just thinks every match is Owens/Cena and everyone kicks out of at least 1/2 finishers every match. Last year a signature spot could put people away (it was hilarious when people would lose to Cena via 5 Knuckle Shuffle)

Hmm..so after watching the first RAW of 1998..

-Every single match would be the worst match on RAW today, other than Owen Har carrying Savio Vega to a mediocre Superstars match.

- For those hailing the return of the unscripted promos, everyone other than Austin was horrible. That includes Micheals, HHH, and Owen Hart. Luckily they still have plenty of managers who can talk, and Paul Bearer, Cornette, and the Jackal all do good jobs. Later in the year the mic work gets much better.

-2015 Rollins was a MUCH better interview than 1998 Shawn Micheals.

-Blackface. Ugh.

Buuut...

- Every single match built a feud or character. They lay out most of the show at the start. It builds throughout the show organically, unlike now where theres a peak at the end of the second hour and then the shows momentum resets. Noone is really hurt by losing, theyre very good at protecting their thin-ass roster.

Most of all, it makes you wanna know what happens next week.

So there ya go. Itll be interesting going to current day RAW on Monday (which I apparently enjoy more than most of you).

We're spoiled by today's in ring work. The only time you could make a case for it being higher was 2001 and 2002, but even then the roster was so gigantic and varied you could get two HOF caliber wrestlers doing a five star match and two random why did we pick these lumps up from WCW/ECW fighting on the same card.

But your latter point is the far more damning one. Not only did they have the star power to carry a RAW back in early 1998 with just Austin/Mankind/Undertaker and a pilled up HBK but they had interesting, cohesive stories for every man and woman on the roster. If something didn't stick, they'd move on. You had to tune in to see what was going to happen next. Who would leave for WCW and get mocked the next week, what weird shit would happen with Goldust and Luna? How over will Sable get and how far down with they push the Marvelous one?

There are ants in my bathroom and they're driving me nuts. They're not venturing outside of the bathroom and they're never more than 3-4 in number just randomly spread out on my counter, but why are they there? There's no food in there, and surely the other ants hear the panicked screams of their comrades as I wash them down the sink. Go in the kitchen, there's food there. Go eat the neighbor's house.

So this month was the 10 year anniversary of the passing of one of the greatest wrestlers of all time and it's dedicated to a quad tearing has-been, who wouldn't even give you the time of day? Great call guys.

It's the ten year anniversary of Diesel losing the WWF Championship and the eleven year anniversary of him getting it!

Did that vanilla midget ever draw a dime?

“When Benoit and Guerrero hugged [at the end of WrestleMania XX], that was the end of the business,” he says. “Has business been the same since that WrestleMania? Has it come close to the Austin era? Has it come close to the nWo or the Hogan era? You put two fucking guys that were great workers that were the same height as the fucking referees, and I’m sorry, man. Are you going to watch a porno movie with a guy with a three-inch dick? Even if you’re not gay, you will not watch a porno movie with a guy with a three-inch dick. That’s not the standard in porno films. So you put a 5-foot-7 guy as your world champion.”

Ants love toothpaste. I'm not sure how I know this, but it feels right to me.

Also they might just be using it as a base, lots of places to hide and easy access to outside.

So not worth it
Billy Gunn was fired by WWE on Friday due to a drug test he failed over the summer while competing in a powerlifting event, according to f4wonline.com.

The 52-year-old former tag team champion reportedly tested positive for elevated levels of testosterone back on July 25. He had a testosterone/epitestosterone ratio of 37-1, which is off the charts compared to the 4-1 limit. He was suspended from competitive powerlifting for four years – with WWE officials completely unaware he was competing as a powerlifter until just a few weeks ago.

Gunn had been working as a trainer at the WWE Performance Center. He appeared on the most recent season of Tough Enough as well as Breaking Ground on the WWE Network.

I remember that Eddie tribute show. So many man tears brothers.

But Benoit. That whole ordeal had me literally traumatized. Couldn't sleep for like a week. Never thought something like that could effect me so much.

I not only associate this year with Eddie's death but the 10th year anniversary of two of my favourite uncle's death.

One died in September, the other died in October. The one who died in October, his final child was born maybe 2 weeks after. But I never cried so much in my life because he always stood up for me and helped me out.

When he died I became a big brother to 4 cool kids(I'm an only child). I'll miss my uncle Robert and uncle Billy forever.

To be fair, how often does a wrestler you idolize go and murder his entire family before committing suicide. People that imagine that are just weird and probably post on Tumblr or Squarespace or something.
