Something that occurred to me during the New Day / Revival match:

What would happen if one member of the opposing teams grabbed a belt each - say, Big E and Dawson were on top of the ladder and each grabbed a belt? Would the match be declared a draw, restarted, Dawson and Big E made tag champs as unwilling partners? Has this ever been done?

My big problem with the show is how it ended. Regardless of the quality of the match, the four women beat the holy hell out of each other... only for the mass brawl to cut short everything, including the Kabuki Warriors music. Following on from Mania 34 when Cena charging backstage overshadowed the end of Asuka's streak, I thought it was disrespectful as hell.

I watch all of NXT, YouTube highlights of Raw and Smackdown. To my shame, I've not watched an episode of Dynamite since the first one.

Fuck it, I’m back off the wagon. My dealer is gonna be chuffed

Good to see Boris is already helping small businesses. 

Former Derby (amongst many others) manager Jim Smith, aged 79.

He got arrested for domestic battery during a heated argument with his wife, all charges were dropped a couple of months later. From what I remember, his wife refused to cooperate with the investigation so no evidence could be presented.

So this makes Hulk the first three time HOF inductee, doesn’t it?

I don't think it does, not yet. He went in as a solo guy in 2004 or '05, but he's not gone in with a tag team or another faction yet. He's inducted a few people and everyone last year mentioned him in their speeches (bar DX), but I'm fairly sure he's only in once. I may be wrong!

AJ Lee is going in before Punk.

I'm also mildly amazed JBL isn't in yet either. They're happy enough to trot him out for a guest commentary spot every so often.

Anyone else think It was Aphex Twin on the side of the Lib Dem’s bus or is it just me?

Is it just me that spotted Peter Sutcliffe is driving it?

Rees-Mogg has finally emerged from the shadows in North East Somerset, to make his first - and only - public appearance of the campaign.

What makes this notable is the choice of picture to accompany the headline on my local 'Somerset Live' news website:

I reckon Randy would be so shit at sex. Really boring, long pauses as he goes through the motions, just enough to get by.

And, just the once, he'd bust out a random leap-frog just after finishing.

Watching Jim Neidhart wrestle when I first started watching.

And realising his daughter is now a 10 year veteran on the main roster.

Are they the longest running continuous faction in WWE ever? I can't think of anyone close.

The Heenan Family? Started in the 80's, but I can't remember when it finished.

My Grandad always watched World of Sport, if we visited when that was on, we were banned from speaking to him for the duration. WoS held no interest for me, a ton of pasty fat blokes in a village hall did not appeal more than football or my elder sister's pals. 

Then WoS got ditched and my Grandad got Sky, officially because my Gran was seriously ill and bedridden, unofficially because he saw wrestling on the TV guide. He started watching WWF, and I visited one day when he had Survivor Series 1990 on, I think he'd videoed it. 

I clapped eyes on the Undertaker. I was sold. 

Is he selling them as a set or anything? They're fantastic.

Sad thing is that somebody will pay up

When I was at Axxess this year, the Superstore had a belt counter with every single belt for sale, from WWE Universal to NXT UK, the whole lot. Some guy walked out of there with one of every belt, he must have left with around 20 belts, at $350-500 dollars a pop.

For the record, it wasn't me.

Survived my first car crash this morning. Crashed into a concrete pillar at work after the steering tracking snapped off and dragged me to the left. Managed to walk away with a bruised knee and minor women's whiplash. 

Perfect return after a week off. 

I love the idea that the Saudi's hadn't paid up for the previous show because the contract was officially for one show and they thought Vince was doing the second for free.

Plus if the plane got sorted out quickly, they don't want to hold up a departure because Zack Ryder has gone on a day trip somewhere.
