They were looking at Minnesota, but apparently one of the drawbacks was the transport links to the stadiums. Guess we won't get wrestlemania at the Amex... (also, TKO/UFC have a base in Vegas) \Will mean I won't have to use up an annual leave day on the Monday.

Decent b-event, made more fun by a lively crowd that had boundless energy. I expected them to tire by the end of the show, but they were so hot for everything. Most reseults were as expected, with the main surprise being Tanga Lao debuting instead of Jacob Fatu. Jade wasa little exposed at...

Backlash this afternoon, from france so starts at 6pm for us, which is weird. Given how little WWE rely on ppv buys for profits these days, it seems HHH isn't overloading the 'b-level' ones. On the one hand, that's a good way to get more out of the stories rather than rishing through them, but...

AEW Champion Samoa Joe vs. Swerve Strickland. I like joe. I've seen nothing in Swerve that I'm drawn to. AEW Women's Champion Toni Storm vs. Thunder Rosa. Probably my two favourite women in AEW, if only AEW would take their women's wrestling seriously. AEW Tag Team Championship Tournament...

For a while I was more entertained by all the back stage goings on at AEW than the show itself. "Brawlout" and the ongoing fallout from that and whether Punk would stay or go, would he be on Collision etc. Then the drama of the news of the Perry fight just before coming out to face Samoa Joe at...

For me it's Survivor series 88? 89? The one with the all the tag teams in a single match. And random Bret Hart matches.

It's not been made clear. The deal starts January 2025, so the network will close down then. But if the migration to Peacock is anything to go by, there will be a bunch of network stuff available right away, then the rest will migrate over a bit at a time.

My first live wrestling event of any kind was the battle royal at the royal albert hall. Fun times. Well I thoroughly enjoyed night two. Might need to watch the early stuff again tomorrow. Had tv volume too low to really enjoy Punk and Snoop on commentary. I'm sure they were more entertaining...

I'm trying to avoid spoilers, in case someone looks in while watching this morning. Night 1 thoughts? My limited view of things online seems largely positive about everything. To be honest, I was really struggling to stay awake and my TV was turned down low so it was hard to hear how wll...

Just watching NXT Stand and Deliver. I want them to change Oba Femi's name. I can't be thinking of former newcastle players all through these events.

Think anyone would mind if I streamed the NXT event on my phone over the amex wifi?

Didn't realise it as starting so early. I did just watch this rather funny compilation of Kevin Owens interview bits:

Line ups for each night of Mania announced Night One Saturday Night: -The Rock and Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns vs. WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes. -WWE World Women's Champion Rhea Ripley vs. Becky Lynch. -WWE Intercontinental Champion Gunther vs...

Just over a week to Wrestlemania. Figured I'd bump this thread and what better way than to throw out some thoughts on mania Iyo Sky v Bayley This match seems to have been a bit lost in the shuffle, for me. Which is a shame because it feels a waste of the rumble victory for Bayley. So far this...

:rave:

Turns out my antipathy toward moxley trumped any enjoyment of FTR. Barely any interest in the match. Storm/purrazzo My formative years as a wrestling fan was the Alundra Blayze/Bull Nakano era, so I do like to see women's wrestling as part of the show, but I prefer it to be women who can...

Garcia/Christian Eh, fine. I can't really bother with Garcia. He looks like he has been invited to the party of a friend of a friend so he's gone in and is desperately looking around the party for someone familiar and is starting to worry he's at the wrong party. Bryan Danielson/Eddie Kingston...

Anyone watch Revolution last night? Am considering get the PPV after work, not a massive fan of AEW or their general style of wrestling, but Sting's last match, so am tempted.
