Richard

Danny Burch was playing a stereotypical Green Street hooligan wasn't he? Shame that, the one interview I saw of him showcasing the gimmick he blew away everybody else. I'd like to see someone like Kris Travis given a chance at the next WWE British tapings, bar the shit tattoo he's class.

Dango's face say's it all.

the 'in house' tunes are fucking terrible, i know it's only music but it does generally ruin the ECW shows, music was such a big part of the show. I'd rather watch a scratchy old VHS rip than one of the polished versions.

 

Tell me about it. I loved by Simon Diamond and The Sinister Minister's / Mike Whipwreck theme. Suited their characters down to a tee. So when they came out to... THAT... it really ruined it for me.

 

As for the 350,000 number thing... I remember hearing that it has to be 1,000,000 to break even ($1 billion a month to break even?!?!?!) but that *IS* for the entire global figure. If they can get 500,000 + in time for Mania in the states, surely getting the rest from UK, Europe, Australia, etc won't be too difficult?

Someone should throw this, www.thewrestlingmania.com/articles/columns/access-wwe-network-outside-usa/ into the initial post of the Network thread to avoid such clutter in the future.

Cena is on Austin's podcast tomorrow, should be fun. Would love for Austin to snag Vince for one of these interviews, or even Hogan with the pair of them knocking about for the network.

I remember Jericho returning one year where he looked unusual due to botox, most likely Big Dave has had the same treatment. He looks amazing for his age though, packed on a considerable amount of mass since a couple of years ago too. I want his trainers.

Richards has tremendous execution and is a great athlete and seems to have his head screwed on outside the ring in interviews. His problem is he doesn't know his arse from his elbow when it comes to the mechanics of a wrestling match and telling stories. He's like Kurt angle was in 2003 with about 10 percent of the charisma.

It was a bad stoppage. There's no denying it. The worst part for me as a selfish bastard is, Froch was getting back in the fight and it feels like we were robbed of what was about to become a real classic. Just when the momentum turned the ref jumped in and called the fight. And Groves wasn't given the same opportunity to recover as Froch was. It sucks but what can you do? Unless you can invent a robot ref that's perfect and never cocks up, this will happen from time to time. Sour note to end a great fight on. It happens sometimes.

 

Oh well, Pacquiao vs Rios in a bit.

The ref was favoring Froch throughout the whole fight, Froch should have had at least 3 points docked, one was a clear forearm smash when Groves was on the ropes, ref was eclipsed by the hype/crowd and went into business for himself. Bent as fuck.

Wonderful story telling, these promoters sure know how to stack their bank accounts. Froch embracing the heel turn post-match saying they should have the re-match ''somewhere else'' was wonderful too, face in his home town, heel everywhere else. The double-turn was glorious.

Oh wait this is boxing isn't it?

Kurt might be the only one to get away with wearing that Tapout sportsdirect gear, also the amount of shite that he's put into his body over the years I think he looks alright.

They fucked Ryback just like they fucked Bryan, shit scared to pull the trigger when they were both white hot. Ryback was on his way to becoming massive until they shat themselves and had a screwy finish against Punk in the cell. The only problem is Ryback is shit and Bryan isn't and ultimately becomes overexposed when he hasn't got the machine behind him, you protect guys like Ryback. The Daniel Bryan's of the world protect themselves.

Suits him.

 

Corrrrr

I'm not sure if this GIF has been posted already, but I love the possibility of it being the first hint at an eventual Roman Reigns baby face turn. If it ends up being a subtle, slow turn that turns him into the new Batista, then I'll spunk my balls off.

 

Was that not him just reacting to the booing? But yeah, he has all the marketability and the presence of a future Batista, cool as fuck.

Triple H mentioned in an Interview with Micheal Cole that he is no longer allowing the Bigshow to use his WWE name, so will now be going by Paul White. Is this story going a little "TNA" now?

Show debuted in the WWE as Paul White IIRC. Plus this storyline is great.

Christ Goldberg's still got mass, looks in total beast mode there. Hopefully he's a bit skint and has a bit of free time available in a few months..

That was one of Cena's best promos he's ever done, when he's serious and on point dropping all the jokey shite that he tends to incorporate into his shtick when he's not arsed he's the best in the business on the mic. Within his limitations (and content) on the stick Bryan to his credit played his role like a diamond pressing Cena's buttons along the way.

For those who enjoyed Anderson's goofy reaction to Ortiz' arrival, here's more from Mr. Anderson:

This might be the best thing he's done in his career.

I like grey shoes.

Any other reason to post all those quotes bar causing unnecessary reading for Ricky, Seven? ...though Twitter was pretty much the same.

I enjoyed it, Ricky came across as a top bloke, fair play.
