Wonder will the next PLE be in the new Arena in Manchester The Big 4 staying put in America for the foreseeable

When I followed the link some catastrophic fuck up happened and by the time I joined the queue there were 14000 people ahead of me. It went down quick enough but by the time I got in nothing was coming up. I spent a bit of time refreshing the search and tickets for £1K came up. Absolutely not. Kept at it and managed to get a Combo ticket for £500. It's much more than I wanted to pay, but given I've waited decades for something like this in Scotland I had to just bend over and take it, as I don't fancy the odds of getting something cheaper down the road. As they say in Chernobyl it's not great but it's not terrible.

Can't justify those prices Ah well next time maybe

And I think this is where my only watching the PPVs falls down a bit, because I do miss the context and connections of other things that may be happening. I've never been a Kingston fan but I absolutely do see the appeal with him so that's a personal thing really. But I actually did enjoy Mark Briscoe in this and I think overall his recent story has been a real feelgood one that has been born out of tragedy. What I've seen of him and heard of him in the last year suggests that the booking and use of him has been largely excellent. I could see some of that here, for sure

This is utterly mad. I was in the queue with about 6,000 people ahead of me - but after seeing this, I've left. Thanks for sharing, and saving my time. There's not a chance I'm paying £610 for these. Hopefully I (and others on here) have more luck if/when individual tickets go on sale.

I chose the pricing tiers I was prepared to pay and then just kept refreshing, eventually got tickets in the rafters. £400 for the two tickets but with £66.80 fees added on to that.

Fair play if any of you managed to get pre sale tickets today. I joined the lobby as soon as it opened to join the pre queue, queue. There were 5000 people ahead of me as soon as I hit the actual queue. The cheapest tickets available once I got in were £610 EACH. I did then check restricted view tickets and whether the gamble of how restricted they may be was worth it...£802 each. Stayed up an extra 4 hours after finishing a night shift for that shite. The pricing tiers are pretty fucking brutal. I've listed them below for anyone interested. At least all the footballers and drug dealers will be able to take their kids. £175, £232, £289, £345, £390, £500, £610, £802, £940, £1160, £1583, £2945. Sorry for the spoiler tags. I'm shattered, hit it by mistake and couldn't get rid of it. 😆

Not discounting or arguing your perfectly reasponable opinion but it's interesting how different people can view the same match. I absolutely loved this match, and my only criticism would be there wasn't enough Eddie Kingston. Though Mark Briscoe did an excellent job carrying the majority of the match - he's just so fucking great. What I really loved about this match is that the key part of the story they told was actually about holding back on the thing the fans wanted the most - Adam Copeland vs Malakai Black. They spent the whole match teasing it then backing away from it and withholding it from the audience then at the matches conclusion they finally face off Black immediately cheats to cut it short and get the victory. Proper good old school stuff. You put on an exciting match while simultaneously building up the next big match.

Peter Oborne's babyface turn tour continues.

Gonna say, I'm not sure it's a true non compete... they are still employed and paid for 90 days. Mind you I'm not a lawyer, so be interesting to see what comes of this. Outside of wrestling that is fucking massive for the corporate world. Also means McMahons non compete is non existent.

I've never really bought the idea of Priest as a World Champion, even before he won the belt. That said, I think the only way his run has a chance of working would be to have a strong first challenger, as opposed to someone no one buys as a realistic threat. Jey can work as a challenger, I think, but only if the champion is strong. If Drew hadn't lost the belt, I don't see any harm in Drew/Jey as a title feud. Honestly, I think they missed a trick by not somehow transitioning the Money in the Bank briefcase to Dominic Mysterio, and having him become World Champion. Dominic vs. LA Knight in a feud for the fake world title could be a lot of fun, as far as crowd reactions are concerned. Dominic vs. Orton too, I'd like to see that. There's something very bland about Priest.

Those two pics is now the closest I've got to wanting to create a twitter account to be able to see replies.. Love that top hat guy is dressed as a stage magician.

Early Dimmu Borgir? Top Hat Twat was booted from the band iirc and stole music from Amiga games.

Yeah I ordered from AEW and didn't get any customs charge, and I also just got 3x t-shirts from a small independent designer from the states and no charge either. Saying that, don't blame me when you're travelling down to Dover to pay out a ton because they're holding your order ransom!

The rumours of My Neighbour Totoro transferring to the West End were true, as it’s just been announced that the show will run at the Gillian Lynne Theatre from March 8th 2025. Tickets for the run go on sale next week, with Priority Booking from Monday April 29th and General Sale from Friday May 3rd

This is my favourite by a fair stretch.

@WyattSheepMask that's really helpful, thanks! Exactly what I needed to know.

They need to invade Coolman's federation and start a true boom period.

That’s a good one. Another reason, as if they needed one, was that viewers wouldn’t need that long a memory to recognise “Fallen Angel” as having done a job to Taka on Shotgun. He’s not coming in to play a starring role. It’s a weird one all ends up, if they didn’t find a spot for him at all as a wrestler, why they’d employ him in that position. For what he’d have delivered as a cult leader style character they could have just got Jackyl back in.

Interesting. What’s often forgotten about the much-maligned 90 day clauses is that the wrestlers still get paid their downside throughout. So for every five instances of people frustrated to twiddle their thumbs instead of getting right back on TV with their new employer, there’s one that sometimes comes out and says “It gave me chance to heal up a bit.” So if WWE are made to adhere, while it would return to the wrestlers the right to jump straight back on the wheel, it would also deny them a little paid break while they court potential new companies to work for.

I didn't know robots could gargle.

This could have some big repercussions across the wrestling industry if it goes through, as there are legal challenges exoected. Here's a link to the CNN article, as opposed to one from a "rag sheet, brother". https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/23/success/ftc-bans-non-compete-clauses/index.html

For that exact item, delivery to the UK is as follows: Shop AEW & PWT - $13.49 (£10.49). Shop AEW Global - $8.99 (£7.22) Shop AEW Global doesn't offer as many garment types as the other two, and you also pay an additional $1.75 in Tax. All three options also charge 62c Handling Fee. As @Statto alluded to, if you buy when they’re having one of their 20% promos (which they do pretty regularly) you can more or less offset most of the shipping costs using the relevant code. As for customs, I’ve ordered from Shop AEW 3 times in the past and haven’t been hit with a Customs charge on any occasion. I don’t want to say that you definitely won’t , it would be Sod’s Law to say “you’ll be fine” only for you to then get hit, but it’s yet to happen on any purchase I’ve made (same goes for WWE Shop)

These docs will take up a lot of time to watch but fucking hell, they don’t half give me the fuzzies.

'The Leaders of the New School' was a stable in IPW:UK which consisted of Marty Scurll, Paul Robinson, Nikko Brixton and Zack Sabre Jr. Illustrious company kept there, no doubt. Didn't you have a really bad neck injury or something? I have a vague recollection of such a thing occurring years ago.
