They'd be moronic not to put the belt on Drew next Saturday, surely? I love Roman but you can't push Drew this hard, and not pull the trigger. Fuck Cody, Put the belt on Drew!

Brock Lesnar with a fucking forklift couldn't beat reigns, Drew harnessing the hometown crowd in not his home country won't do it, I'm fully on board the Zayn train though.

Ref's discretion. Miro just walked out. Neither Buddy or Brody were the legal men and they were the aggressors. It wasn't Miro interfering. Ref carried on as the match was in the ring. 

That's relatively logical, really needs to be put across by commentary though.

Shouldn't the dark order have been DQd when miro twatted Buddy Matthews?

Triple H has really gone all in on micro-managing hasn't he?  Looks like he's turned his hand to T-Shirt design now.

You would smell someone in that t shirt before you saw them.

Why is everyone clamouring for the return of Pete Dunne? Butch is awesome!

It's the new push the cruiserweights.

I'll admit, I thought we were getting 40 minutes of match/shenanigans and the trio's match would get bumped to Rampage, so I'm happy to say they got me good.

For anyone after a bit of overpriced tat.

I'll have a look as I wouldn't mind something from the event, but I cant see the T-Shirt designs being much good. Interested to see what "exclusive merch" covers other than the T-Shirts?

A Drew t shirt in the Welsh colors because they don't know it's different.

I can't be the only one who thinks it would be hilarious if Trent seven got released considering he was the leader of the UK scene will be fine brigade.

Mandrews is a decent underdog Babyface with 5+ years of TV wrestling experience, he'll be fine, the rest are fucked.

Matt Cardona might be the smartest man in wrestling, convinces GCW to give him a main event spot in one of their biggest shows of the year so he can piss about with his mates (MAVEN!!!!!) And will probably make 6 figures from 8x10s, figures including the bloody variant and the actual blood soaked clothes, plus y'know Chelsea ain't exactly a bad catch.

By the time all the dirt is exposed on this family darkside of the ring will be able to do a whole season on vinne and his dealings. 

What makes me shudder is this is the stuff he got caught for. What he was doing in the 80s? 

Raping female referees.

I do not at all. I’ve barely posted in the TK thread, because a lot of what’s said in there I have nothing to add to.

But to say he’s not a great booker, while then coming in a few days later saying what a great show this week’s Dynamite was, which will have been booked by TK, is a nuanced contradiction. If you don’t like it being pointed out, stop contradicting yourself 

He's not a great booker, but he can book a great show, the two are not the same.

Edit: @Keith Houchensaid it better and insulted David baddiel.....

Is there even actually any fellow sheepshaggers in the WWE anymore? 

There's a few in NXT UK.

I wonder if the dark order get squashed in the first round, and then give hangman permission to be the bucks partner. Depends on the order of the matches I suppose.

I'm over blood for a while if I'm being honest, the law of diminishing returns has to be setting in by now.

but could be a case of people putting 2-2 together about him showing up

A few big names over for a convention including Bret Hart and Tyson Fury, no guarantee they will show up at CATC

Yeah, horrible when people put 2+2 together......

It was jyushin liger vs Tyler breeze for me, then WWE gave it to me and it was fine, little bit too much wrestling.

Turns out Sammy and Tay got married over the weekend.

Maybe he had the venue already booked from his first engagement.

 

I have full confidence that this marriage after less than a year between 2 wrestlers under 30 who were engaged/married to other people 18 months ago will last.

I know female wrestlers have a whole different level of creep to deal with, but I really get the impression Sasha banks is a bit of a prick in general.

I got a pair of Jlab earbuds from argos yesterday for £20 and I was amazed by the sound quality and they are very comfortable.

Prior to that I had jvc sports earphones that cost £10,they lasted about 18 months until i dropped them outside and it pissed down overnight. Lasted long but they weren't very comfortable and sound was okay.

The goairs? Picked up a pair for 25 euro as a backup pair, and they are pretty much my go tos now, scary good battery life as well for the price.

On Raw, Becky Lynch called out Bianca Belair. Conveniently, she walked out from Gorilla 3 seconds later. Why was she there? What if she was in catering having a cup of tea? 

 

This is a massive pet peeve, you have 4-5 ad breaks an hour, use them for this, come back with them still in the ring screaming for their opponent then have them come out.

Re: The cup, the simple answer is they move, and you don't want to be 3 minutes into a match when one of your balls is in and one is out.

MMA/amateur wrestling have rounds/restarts where you can adjust.

It didn't seem to be mentioned in this thread but Triple H had a lengthy chat with Logan Paul on the latter's YouTube channel the other day, it's worth checking out I think. Trips touched on the Attitude Era, the difference between working in stadiums and smaller venues, NXT, storytelling, using social media, his marriage etc. I especially enjoyed him talking about the Summerslam triple threat match with Kurt Angle and the Rock (the one where Kurt was taken backstage for much of it).

I've barely taken in any of Logan Paul's... career as a famous person, or whatever he did first, but he was on best behaviour here. Well, of course he was. Is he a real bad'un? Like, wrestling-level bad'un? Or just a knob?

The general consensus seems to be that Logan acts the tit on camera but is actually a pretty solid skin, but Jakes a prick.

Bianca's expression actually made complete sense, she put Bayley out, she had to know she'd be gunning for her when she came back, and of course she would try and steal bianca's spotlight when she came back.

The worst occasion of this was the NXT women's battle royal a few weeks back, when 3 of the girls started clapping and smiling when Zoe starks music hit. " Yay my odds at a championship match just decreased....."

I love the fact that for 3 years lads were throwing Darby allin down stairs, off ledges through coffins and all other manner of chaos, and not 1 of them thought of a sleeper hold, turns out it's his fucking kryptonite.
