That's the same arena they're using for SummerSlam the next night isn't it? Don't think there's another room in there so be interesting to see what the setup is or maybe they think they can sell 15K tickets. 

 

Would make sense for ROH to move their show to the afternoon I would have thought.

ROH have done this before - I was in NYC back in 2011 and when WWE announced a house show at MSG, ROH pushed their show that they had on the same day back to the afternoon so that fans could see both.

Edit: Ignore.

Just some of the action from the last two shows, to whet your appetites for whats upcoming in the year (courtesy of Rob Brazier Photo)...

Another pretty great promo from A Ry here.

NWC had a really fun Virgill vs Terry Funk match from what I remember, as well as some other cool, unique matches like that.

Sasha Banks and Charlotte have another good match on Main Event this week - both were over, particularly Charlotte who got several chants aimed at her.

Yeah, Sami was awesome in the final segment. I got serious prime-era Foley promo vibes off of him.

Anyone else getting tired of Linus' reviews?

Well don't bloody read them then.

Lovely, you're a true gent Rick.

Stew was an absolute diamond, I spent some great times with him traveling, going to shows and just bullshitting on the phone about stuff. I read the news on my phone earlier and burst in to tears, I'm lucky in a way that death hasn't affected me too much in my own life thus far but this really hit me hard. As already said, you can tell from Facebook and Twitter just how much Stew meant to everyone that he met, and even those that hadn't met him in person but spoke to him online. I'm better for having known him.

I like what they seem to be doing with the names for the big indie guys - you can't just call them a random new name because they have enough of a following already, so they've gone with a name that has some kind of heritage or history behind it, as a sort of tribute.

Here's the link to those Chicago matches, it's an absolute goldmine - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWXxP_rvXryBPpjIw7Dl9Tg/videos

Oh one last thought, has Mojo been made to look like a massive idiot like this in the last few weeks too or was this Rusev beat down the first time he has been decimated like that? It caught me off guard as last time I saw him he was mowing through CJ Parker and guys of his standing.

First time, he's run through everyone he's worked up until the angle with Rusev.

One of my favourite photos that I've taken recently, from the William Regal evening at Leicester Square.

I can see Alicia loosing then having the ultimate bitch fit but for her to get her come upins from the people she has picked on over the weeks...like Lawler pouring a drink over her or JBL, something like that anyway.

Um?

Does he ever use 'froot'?

I rarely listen to the intros and outros for all the reasons mentioned, but I did hear him drop it once I'm sure. Not as regularly as "The TWITTAH" though. That being said, the interviews are usually pretty great, Jericho knows his stuff and gets a lot out of the guests.

Quite enjoyed Raw this week, but Alicia Fox was easily the highlight. She's cracking on Main Event this week too.

Clash 3 is awesome, never heard any comments about it before be it positive or negative, but every match is worth your time, especially Brad Armstrong vs Mike Rotunda and Doc/Nikita vs The Sheepherders. Clash 7 is pretty great too, and is held in front of a crazy hot crowd who go nuts for pretty much everything and have probably been drinking since noon.

Daniel Bryans momentum is gone as well, circumstances have killed him. The next few weeks are massive for him if he's gonna stay at the top. Not looking good.

How many times has this been said before though? He's over as hell, and that isn't really going to change based on a three to four week distraction of a feud with Kane.

Yeah, the most disappointing thing post-Mania for me is the handling of Cesaro. Granted he's been pretty protected which is great, but the pair don't have the same "click" as Heyman does with Lesnar. It might really take off (the Real Americans took a while for me to get in to as a unit, too) but for the time being it does nothing for me aside from the potential of more Zeb/Heyman interaction. Shame, as Cesaro in the ring is bloody marvelous.

I really liked the opening segment and the following tag title match. With the latter, I was really surprised that both teams got full entrances and also the proper introductions for a title match. Ropey name aside, Rybaxel are a fun team and the Usos are both really good and over with most crowds, including this one. In fact, I was digging the hell out of Titus vs Sheamus until it just ended. They had a pretty great match on Main Event last week, and I'm hoping that this is the start of something for Titus, even if it didn't get the best initial push.

Everything else, save for little moments like Heyman grabbing Zeb's 'tache and the announcement of the WeeLC match, I wasn't a big fan of.

Oh, and from a pure timing perspective, I like this one quite a lot...

Also Chest, I'm digging that first dog picture a bunch, great colour scheme throughout it.

In the last year or so I've tried to branch out in to more stuff outside of wrestling, here's a few recent shots...
