  1. I'm going to next week's Raw. Hope it'll be as good as this week's was, we'll see.
  2. Yet if you looked at the average wrestling forum (not this one) people's main complaint about Roman Reigns back then was that he always wins, despite it not close to being true.
  3. I know financially they wouldn't do it unless left with no other choice, but it wouldn't hurt them to just give Raw a break for 3 months. Big re-launch into the new Netflix era. There's probably international deals anyway where even if they don't get a 3 month deal in the US, they'd still have to make it.
  4. I thought about this thread yesterday when I was reading that The Big Bossman was only 41 when he died. Which was 16 years after his WWE debut and he looked about 41 then. Natalya debuted in WWE 16 years ago and is 41. Think about everything he did in that 16 year period and the pretty much fuck all she's done in that 16 year period.
  5. I pretty much only watch WWE PPVs and Raw/Smackdown/NXT highlights on YouTube. I watch Main Event on the Network and occasionally watch NXT Lvl Up and on the rare occasion I watch a full episode of NXT, but never live. Once Raw and Smackdown are on Netflix here I might be more likely to watch them the next day and occasionally I might watch live. Maybe once a month I will watch an episode of AEW, but I don't watch any other new stuff on TV/Online regularly.
  6. I don't think it can be truly appreciated how big of a deal this was at the time.
  7. First WrestleMania watched? My first Wrestlemania was also my first wrestling of any kind. It was Wrestlemania 7, but it was probably at least 6 months after it had happened. My 2 older brothers, who I did not live with, were visiting and they were in the lounge watching Wrestlemania 7. I walked in. Wondered what the flip they were watching and I've been a fan ever since. They both dropped out of fandom within the next 2 years probably, if not sooner - donating to me all their magazines, tapes, toys, cards etc. Favourite WrestleMania? Tough question, because I have favourites for different reasons. 7 is a favourite for the reasons above. Wrestlemania 4, despite being crap has a special place in my nostalgic brain as it was the first wrestling video I ever purchased. Wrestlemania 17 is a clear favourite for obvious reasons though. Have you ever been to WrestleMania? Yes I have been to Wrestlemania 9 times and might be going this year, although if I do go it will only be to Night 1 this time. Which brings me on to this quote from Matthew : "35 left a bad taste due to the bloody train ride disaster home, that anyone that went will know of" I did go and I did get the train home, but the disaster did not affect me and I was very lucky it didn't. I was on what I believe was the 2nd train to leave after the show finished. It may have been the 2nd and last, or maybe there was 1 more, but I made it onto a train and was tucked up in my hotel room in Times Square while thousands of people were still stranded in the rain in New Jersey. I remember when we got off the subway and began walking back to our hotels it just started raining and we realised how lucky we were that it hadn't been raining an hour earlier, not finding out until the next morning that half the stadium were still there at 2am, outside, in the rain with no way of getting back to NY. I had no idea until the next morning and reading about it all how close we might have been to being stranded there too. Best/Worst WrestleMania matches. Triple H vs. Undertaker Hell in a Cell is the best Mania match I have seen live in person I would say. But I love Austin vs. Rock from Mania 17, so much. HBK vs. Flair has to be up there too. Best/Worst WrestleMania moments. Again from being there live, but the Hogan, Austin, Rock Mania 30 intro was amazing and I said during it that the show was already better than Mania 29. Savage & Elizabeth reuniting at Mania 7 though.....lovely stuff.
  8. The Dudley Boyz v Atsushi Onita & Mystery Partner is on at the ECW Arena soon. I did wonder for a moment if it could be Foley but I’m assuming it’ll be the Sandman. If he has another match it’s going to be heavily promoted, not a mystery partner. That same show has a mystery guest ref for one match, that’ll probably be Foley.
  9. I suppose it depends on what else is on the show. A show with a main event with Solo Sikoa in 2024, could have an undercard with Rey Mysterio, Kevin Owens, Roman Reigns, Randy Orton, Bayley, Charlotte Flair and AJ Styles. A main event of Strowman vs. Corbin in 2019 might have had an undercard with all those guys too, but I think the one I looked at Strowman vs. Corbin was the biggest match on the show. To be fair, I think it was in a fairly small arena, but it really looked like a bad lineup.
  10. I was just looking at some house shows from 2019 where the main event was Strowman vs. Corbin. Good luck for when you get to that era.
  11. Like you said, he probably reported based on Bronson Reed himself saying he would like it to happen, or hoped it would happen - then other sites even less reputable than Fightful Select take that report and re-word it badly saying that Reed himself said it was going to happen and that then gets presented as fact by someone else. I doubted it when I read it, but I did read it that Reed himself had said it, but as you said - almost certainly cobblers, whoever said it.
