Isn't Collision being based on Punk just pure speculation!? Where's the marketing they had to change last minute to remove him? Has anyone actually seen it?

It's there, there has been changes to remove Punk being advertised as below. It's not just some wild fantasies that people have conjured up and isn't that hard to believe either. How much has been changed, is up for debate, but there has been changes. 

I think I'll take a dip from AEW threads for a while, speaking of things that aren't worth it.

It is worth it. Hence why they're doing this.

This was all put in motion when they were on better terms, the last 24 hours has clearly changed that. Yes, Collision was all on the back of Punk, but they have now had to change advertising etc in a short space of time, remove Punk from the marketing at launch, which clearly would have been better and had more eyes on it with Punk on there. So yes, it was worth it, when Punk was the main star, but at present he isn't. Toys being thrown out ever 6 months isn't worth anything. If you can't put long term plans in because of fragile ego's, then it isn't worth it. 

At this point just fuck Punk off, it's not worth it. I haven't a clue what he's been saying this time and quite frankly, I can't be arsed to check, or interested enough to check. Regardless of which side is right and which one is wrong, there's no way this relationship carries on without something like this happening every couple of months. 

Shake hands, part ways. 

This could potentially end up as Rampage 2.0 in about 6 month when the entire roster are all bitching and moaning about each other on Twitter and threatening to go to WWE. 

Brilliant move from Tony though, instead of making them sit home running out their deals, he's basically said 'Shut the fuck up and go out there and make me more money'. 

Sunday mornings are usually a drag so great that there is a guaranteed show to be watched. 

I'd love for Chelsea and Sonya to take the tag titles and have Chelsea keep finding ways to get out of defending them. No interest in the quartet of Rodriguez / Morgan / Rousey / Baszler.

Cody with another stellar promo that has made me a lot more interested in the rematch than the first match did. Stretcher job in Saudi?

The battle royal was bags of fun, with some interesting spots and a few unsuspecting people giving time to shine. Glad to see Ali grab the win to give us something a little different to the usual Gunther defence. Hopefully goes longer than Brock Vs Ricochet did in Saudi a few years ago 

Heyman shithousing again and being in cahoots with both Imperium and Judgment Day was great. Such a weasel and using people to his advantage. 

Whilst I really like Mark Andrews and think its a shame hes never been fully given a proper crack at it, there's just something about Flash Morgan Webster that I just can't get on board with and I can't quite put my finger on what it is. 

All alternative lighting throughout matches is shit, regardless of the shade. 

I take in most of my wrestling these days through @Fatty Facesitter's reviews. He watched the wrestling, so you don't have to! 

The Judgement Day, MMM and a couple of other stuff that just shouldn't work, but do, are the reason I'm willing to see how things go with the likes of Chelsea Green and Mustafa Ali's gimmick as wacky seems to mean fun at the moment. 

Vimto bottle down your trousers and say you're the Eiffel Tower. 

The guys delusional, has been for months playing up the positivity gimmick and pissing people off. He wasn't picked, but is still pushing the positivity stuff and now he's on a two match winning streak and proclaiming himself the 'greatest free agent of all time' which Graves also called him on Comms. It's clearly a gimmick and storyline that he wasn't drafted, otherwise he wouldn't be beating Otisé who himself, is in the middle of a storyline. 

I'm not saying it's great, but there is a storyline there other than 'guy goes undrafted then beats someone'. I'm happy to let it play out.

The lad no one wanted during the draft Ali gets booked in a match and then actually wins it? 

It's almost like....I dunno.....a storyline.

The piped in crowd noise during Brocks segment was ridiculous, like a constant swarm of bees. The most noticeable its been for me.

Pam and Jim turn into quite the pair of arseholes after they get married. They are so passive aggressive with each other its mad.

Each time I watch the show through, I hate Jim and Pam more, to the point that Jim is quite the cunt throughout. 

As much as Robert California isn't a great character, he pales in comparison to Nelly Bertram or D'Angelo Vickers. They should have gone for the 'Finger Lakes' guy for boss.

It must be such a euphoric feeling walking back through the curtains after a match with Brock where he's switched on and giving you everything. Like when he bumped around like a good 'un for Rey a few years ago. When he's interested, hes fucking great, and he was clearly interesting in giving Cody his all. 

It must be more of a thrill knowing Brock likes you than being over with anyone else in the back. 

Priest just stood there cool as fuck is a really good touch. Makes him look like the final boss while the minions fight around him. 

That crowd where phenomenal all show, but that pop for Bad Bunny was something else. HHH returning at the Rumble levels, they should run shows there more often.

Dom not being able to speak because of the heat he was getting, Cody having his theme sung word for word, just brilliant.

Jeff moaning about the smell as they're walking up the steps had he giggling, then Mark shouting boy got me full on laughing. Satnam and Sonjay acting like fools in their dungarees topped it off. Probably one of my favourute AEW skits of all time. More of this please.

Part of me was thinking Sir Michael Take had a UKFF account, but it seems not. 

This could turn out to be one of AEW's best signings. He seems like a genuinely nice guy, with some tremendous knowledge and insight into the business and could prove to be a valuable piece in the puzzle for AEW. He left Fightful the other day along with the Grapsody podcast, didn't expect him to sign with AEW. 

Is Anthony Ogogo still kicking around in AEW to be able to make this? He would be the man for the marketing via the UK media. Get him eating burgers like Bulldog, the lot.

Plus, I would love for him to do a spin on Carl Froch's '80,000 at Wembley' schtick.

• Raw - Rhea Ripley - Same thoughts as Bianca, I fear a smelly belt swap incoming.

I'm hoping for a renaming of the belts instead, seeing as the fella's belts aren't Smackdown / Raw champions, there's no reason that the women's should be either and would circumvent the 'belt swap' bollocks. 

Michael Cole balancing out the shit Bayley is going to give him, by being able to give shit out to Top Dolla.

My 10 year old at the school pick up.

10 Year old: Darren, I’m going to call you barren because it means bald.

Me: No it doesn’t.

10 year old: What does it mean then?

Me: Like devoid of life or land where nothing grows.

10 year old: Like your head then so I’m going to call you barren.

10 year olds best friend: Hi Barren.

And this is the post that has finally caused me to explain the UKFF to the Mrs as I've just burst out laughing while watching a serious drama on TV. Kudos. 

PW Insider are reporting that (spoilers) 

has signed with Impact and should be starting up this week. Not sure what to make of that one to be honest and think time will tell.
