Shy Dad

I wish they hadn't gone all one name with Andrade though, I really liked the whole Cien Almas part. But that match was bloody fantastic and its great to see Rey in good enough shape for some of those higher spots.

"So we need Mandy Rose to appear seductive and enticing...let's put her in lingerie...but we can't show too much off so let's put her in more than some of our roster wear in the ring currently..." WWE and its weekly piss poor attempts currently at promoting slightly edgier content to keep older viewers interested is genuinely dreadful. The acting and camera work in it is just as bad. I mentioned in the RAW thread about Alexa not worrying about the camera being in there but why hire a photographer to take incriminating photos when a cameraman is following Uso around?

Hotel booked for Leeds as all the good places were starting to fill up, just the actual ticket left to get. Line Up is looking better than last years for sure.

Despite knowing how it would affect me mentally decided to weigh myself this morning and find out I've put on two stone in six months and none of it good. Considering how labour intensive my job is and how much I walk every day its even more troubling for my brain when I hardly like eating (love the process of cooking but mainly for others) yet as soon as I do its putting on such a heavy weight gain. Probably going to spend the next few days now meticulously planning every calorie until I get to a point I can shift the weight and not further damage my self confidence or anxiety any further.

Finn knowing ahead of time he needs to summon something else to beat Lesnar given the fact they have one show to build to it would make for a great "Demon vs Beast" tagline for the event. If Lesnar keeps throwing everything at him but he keeps coming back. I'd actually like Rollins vs Balor at Mania. Would tie together the last few years of the Universal Championship as they potentially finally build for life without Lesnar. Leaves Cena to face Bryan for the record.

I realise we're supposed to suspend reality when it comes to backstage segments but the whole Alexa Bliss being walked in on when changing was A) completely random and non sensical to anything they're doing And B) Hilarious that she kicks the assistant out in disgust but is happy to have a cameraman feeding to a live audience and television viewers remain filming Whole segment especially as a feed in to the women's revolution further catching up with the new titles was just absolutely weird, I imagine Vince was cackling with laughter somewhere and planning to bring the coffee next week.

Its WWE, its not as stupid as it sounds. Lynch obviously wants Ronda and seems to have this aura of "don't fuck with me, I'll show I'm the man" including chucking Cena out a ring, battering fuck out of Ronda and just being bad ass. Her character is made for wanting to make a statement that she's bigger than everyone. Doesn't even have to be a deliberate DQ, have some bull go down with a referee push ending the match and have her steal Carmella's 30 spot. I'm a lot more invested in the women's rumble and title matches because there's so many directions these divisions are going in.

I'm pretty sure Becky will get DQ'd against Asuka, maybe "the Man just made a statement laying out the champ" and then go onto win the rumble. Easily opens up options of her facing Asuka at the Feb PPV in a non title match or even having Asuka and Rousey team vs Becky and Charlotte. Not sure who would take the fall there but that would feel a huge match leading into Mania.

Goldust. I honestly think if they had done more with him both in 2002 and around the time him and Cody fueded with the authority. They really could have played up his and HHH having quite a history, have him topple Orton even if just for a month with Dusty in his corner because he remembers Triple H as a cocky punk bitch and he's not much better now. He's probably going to be one of the best workers with some of the worst gimmicks to never win the big one.

I don't see any UK guys really coming over, Pac seems to still be US based (if not Japan) and I don't see him being more than a UK guy based abroad in that regard, where most guys doing that are under contract to New Japan, ROH, WWE etc. If anyone is going to make the jump, it'll be off Impact's back and that would be Grado. If they go down the old school rasslin style, he'd make a good clean babyface that has fun but can go (JYD, Koko etc) to play against the heels. I'd like to see David Starr and Jonah Rock involved though. Rock works so well (and without a WALTER, Jeff Cobb, Keith Lee to be a big man he'd be a great fit) and I'm really impressed with Starr's in ring work. I can see the established WWE name being Jeff Hardy. Hardy signed his contract for however many years it was just before Mania right? Surely he's closing in on time to go and he's had his big moment returning whereas he does get on with the Bucks well.

I am overjoyed at that line up so far. I absolutely love Phoxjaw, Muncie Girls, Milk Teeth and have been listening to a lot of Single Mothers lately as well so that already combined with being able to get tickets at a reduced rate and living so close to the venue is great. Really excited for Frank Iero's new venture, Every Time I Die will probably end up being band of the weekend and YMAS will appeal to the teenage me and amazingly are a band I've loved for years but am yet to see live. Doing VIP again this year after a few years away as it should tie in to the vlog I'm starting about everyday life with Aspergers and still going to shows, festivals, wrestling events and the likes despite the whole huge anxiety thing. But absolutely happy with that if it is the real first announcement.

All going well, I finish work around 7.30 tomorrow morning and should be on enough Coffee to drag me through this enjoying it. Otherwise it isn't getting watched until Monday and no chance I can remain spoiler free until then.
