One thing about releasing the Mae Young Classic in binge format is that I've already been spoiled on the results through Twitter and in here a number of times. Shouldn't be surprised but it kind of sucks when you don't have time to watch until the weekend or whatever.

wwf's ratings in the uk right now are beyond awful (they've been plummeting at a much greater rate then the us ones), and sky's paying through the nose for these terrible ratings and not even getting much on ppv anymore. wouldn't shock me one bit if they declined more programming.
wwf/sky contract negotiations are going to be interesting.
She's 21, hasn't she been wrestling for like a year? Not really surprising

I once marathoned a bunch of PWG shows and it was scary to see how much he grew show to show in the space of about 6 or 7 months. Only comparison I could make is with the Headhunters in W*ING. They grew fatter and fatter every time I saw them.
Well she's going to be in a program with Ronda Rousey against the Four Horsewomen.
I think it's just as likely that she'd get called up to the main roster relatively quickly as she'd win the tournament.
you're not winning that race when braun exists
It is pretty hard to make an argument against Braun in that spot, fair enough. I enjoy checking in on his segments now and then and he's rocketed from being just another Wyatt goon.

I doubt it. At the end of the day, Triple H is usually a babyface booker. More often than not he goes with a positive story and good guys winning in the end. And Kairi gains much, much more out of winning than Shayna does. The 4HW vs. 4HW stuff will have heat regardless. Kairi getting a big win in front of a big audience is a great establishment of her.

The best thing about Kotoka is all the DG nerds insisted he'd never amount to shit, now he's winning big falls and is the focal point of the best new faction in the promotion. BLEEEEEEHHHH!!

Cena beats Roman and then we all see that Roman isn't given the push like we thought, because we are stupid, and he always fought for it and earned it, and then when he wins the rumble it's like, Oh he EARNED this because Cena beat him. VINCE KNOWS US.
Jae (the guy who runs iheartDG/Official English DG account) and is basically the English speaking communities link to Dragon Gate said that he would never be a star.
Bitch look at him noooow.
Who would think that?

I love that move, it has the most apt name: Go 2 Hospital.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
That's what happens when you do Mixed Martial Arts vs. Fixed Martial Arts. Nobody is gonna buy that Baszler would lose to a 5 foot tall girl dressed like a pirate.

Over 12 hours later and I'm not even out of fucking Georgia yet.
Plenty people would, it is pro wrestling.
And not to mention it her last fight she got her ass kicked by 5 foot woman.

Haskins injury is probably one of the worst timed ones in recent memory holy shit
-Missed out on the WWE UK tournament
-Stopped his momentum just as he was getting RED HOT on the indies. Dude had like 3-4 (or more) championship belts at once
He's starting to get it all back though which is cool to see. He's amazing
Absolutely. He would have been the champ at the time of the BSS stuff starting up. Although him having to vacate the title got that angle off to a hotter start, with Dunne picking up the title in the shows that followed. Nevertheless he would have certainly been part of the UK tournament which would have been a huge boon to him. Even if selfishly, I like how he doesn't have any WWE stink about him because of that.
Now he's getting more and more US bookings along with him reclaiming his place in the UK scene. And to think he thought the neck injury was going to be a career ender...

I feel like the BSS angle would've never happened if Haskins stayed healthy. It looked like they were gonna go with Zack Gibson as a top heel for a while there. His injury is so bittersweet, it sucked but at the same time it helped pave the way for the rise of Travis Banks!
He hasn't lost a step since returning from injury, still as crisp as ever. He's gonna be a big deal in the US <3
Its weird though that nothing ever came out of those rumors from Mania Weekend that him and a few others like Havoc, SPPT, and Dahlia Black were gonna sign to WWE
With ITV WoS dead, the whole WWEUK project is on the backburner it seems.
The Observer things posted yesterday said that because barely anyone watched the UK tournament, they've been a bit antsy. They've tried shopping around to get the show on UK TV, but haven't had anyone bite yet.

It was a great tournament but very niche in terms of the people the presented and the market they were targeting. And as many commented on at the time, it felt kinda thrown together, even though it was such a fantastic watch.

One can only hope the company hasn't been completely driven into the ground by the time Vince steps down.
Things could be so much better for everyone

With Kairi/Shayna I'm hoping that if they really want to push this into some Survivor Series thing that they do it in a manner that doesn't involve her winning. Have her do something after the match like during the ceremony that prompts the WWE "4 Horsewomen" to respond and then Rousey and friends do so also.

Mauro's contract literally reads "I must not be required to work with the psychopaths or crazy people of the company, no matter how high up".

Chapter 54 of progress is the first one in a what feels like a year where I'm not that interested in. I don't even have much desire to watch the Boston or New York events.
