It's an interesting situation, though - if WWE ever gets round to expanding to putting "indie" promotions on the Network beyond that one EVOLVE show, the only things they'll really be missing is international stuff. I wonder if they would actually upload whole shows with non-English commentary, or would just mine it for highlights in documentaries, and put key matches on with rerecorded commentary.

  The thought of Michael Cole commentating on some epic NJPW matches terrifies me...

I’ve seen at least 4 wrestling friends just say I’m cancelling the network this evening

Perhaps that's the plan. Get as many people as possible to cancel their Network subscription, then switch to ESPN+ and get Mania back on PPV for sixty bucks, safe in the knowledge that wrestling fans would never, ever complain about such a thing happening. 

Any news on whether they've cleared Customs yet?

Just picked up Civ VI on Switch on sale. I look forward to staying on my train well past my stop for just one more quick turn...

Off to a good start - Sean Bean doing the voiceover!

I got the PS4 version for Christmas, it's been transferred to consoles really well. Still addictive and unleashing thermonuclear bombs is surprisingly relaxing. Particularly when another nation has snuck ahead of you in the space race and you can nuke their program into oblivion. 

I love R-Truth. 

That is all. 

So the headlining Mania matches in 2020 are likely to feature Goldberg, Lesnar, Cena, Edge and Undertaker. That's before Triple H has decided what's he's doing. In 2020.

Jesus Christ. 

I remember the outrage at Miz being appointed Daniel Bryan's mentor, people actually thinking Miz would be training him in some way. 

We still the definitive end to that feud too, I'm not buying the match from a couple years ago when it looked like Bryan was leaving.

Macho never won the IC at a WrestleMania, did he? 

I thought he won it at 2, but thinking about it, I think he retained it.

Zack Ryder has won the tag and IC titles at WrestleMania. Has anyone ever done the full WrestleMania triple crown?

There are a couple of others who come close - Yokozuna has done the world title and tag title combo, Randy Savage did the WWF and IC title, but admittedly it's unlikely either of them will manage to nab the third title at this point.

The continuing and infuriating overuse of 'myself' and 'yourself', as in 'The advice provided by yourself to myself was appreciated'. 

Anger Management for me. Worth it for 'I had a girlfriend called katie... it didn't end so well.'

Not having that as a main event! Taker/HBK was the main on that show, hence Bret getting stuck with the bloody Patriot!

And quite right too!

Going further back, The Patriot vs Bret Hart for the WWE title at In Your House: Ground Zero, if the IYH PPVs are counted as a 'Big PPV'.

I think they trying to get him back working in 2000 but it was more his "demons" than any injury holding him back?

He was wrestling around that time in Texas.

One match, apparently. And I'd never heard about it! 

Wasn't HBK also kinda crippled in 2000 and incapable of actually wrestling?

Edge popping up last night means he’s already done the four decade Rumble thing. Michaels did it between the 1980s-2010s.

As has Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
