I think it's fair to say that Sami was going to be looking at the lights no matter what the outcome of any elections. Let's be real here.

The Creeds look tailor-made for a stint in Japan to me. A run on the indie scene would do wonders for their overall development too, since as far as I know, they have never been outside of the WWE system (other than working those affiliated AAA shows). I just don't see how they bring anything to the table that AEW are crying out for, and I do think they would viewed as WWE rejects, because they came through their system and are still really green.

Not many of those opinions go against the grain on here! Is there anyone on the forum that confesses to being an Undertaker fan?

The move looked great when he'd stall after the set-up before really snapping into the drop. I swear I remember him often adding a little hip gyration at that point, but this video suggests not.

I genuinely can't work out whether @BomberPat was taking the mickey, or earnestly and obliviously pitching the exact title premise that WWE had!

Think he's one of the few guys in that picture that's still with the company actually, one of the Mexican lads they have farmed over to AAA.

Yes, he had to plead his case, but it was face-to-face with the Traitors. They were going to recruit one and murder one, there was no option to return to the game as a Faithful from that point.

To be fair to him, he wasn't given that option. He was recruited as a Traitor in a game that saw him and Amol placed in coffins and the other two Traitors had to decide to kill one and recruit the other. Other than walking away from the show entirely at that point, James did not have the option to decline the role.

He comes across as a likeable, decent bloke. I don't think he's ever said or done anything to prove otherwise, but you couldn't pay me to go and sit through one of his stand-up shows. My face is already hurting from cringing just looking at that poster.

Yeah, the lack of chatter on here about the final certainly points to an underwhelming series overall. I still enjoyed it, it's good appointment viewing, but this edition definitely suffered from heightened expectations after the first brilliant celebrity one, then some unfortunate moments and decision making from the contestants.

I've said it before, but if you think the NXT gimmick names are stupid, take a look at the shoot names of a lot of these kids coming through! Then go at look at the names of college athletes across all sports in the US. They are fucking nuts on that side of the pond.

One more murder then it's the final roundtable I think.

Big fan of Blunt getting it completely wrong (and owning it, to be fair to him) time and time again before finally hitting the nail square on the head with his theories about Acaster and Maya. Interesting to see how it plays out from here for him.

Ah man, that's a sad one. I think everyone loved Patrick Stewart.

There's no chance WWE are buying it back at auction. There are tonnes of millionaires in the US that are now spending crazy money on collectibles, and wrestling stuff is starting to catch up with real sports memorabilia. There have been a lot of items recently that have gone for mega money, that would have been about 20x less expensive a decade ago.

It's making me laugh that everything in that thumbnail image is bright orange, including his head.

It certainly wasn't helped by the biggest name on the show absolutely blowing his cover on the first episode. The producers will have selected him for a reason and must have been absolutely pulling their hair out when he fucked it. That's the game though. I agree it's not been a great season since, but there's enough entertainment value to keep me tuning in.

Obviously their board weren't.

The most satisfying melee fighting system of any game I've ever played (the Arkham games not far behind). In the latter parts of the game, once you've levelled up and learned all the Kung Fu techniques, I remember feeling near-invincible bowling up to a gang of thugs and just fucking everyone up.

Chandler Bing has killed me

It's actually Moosegoon.

Yeah, that's how the windows played out, as I said.

You may have read that, but it's not the truth. Just a lazy deduction that a million outlets have jumped to based on the way the last two summer windows eventually played out.

Probably not been mentioned because two years is not a fast binning.
