  1. The only rule I can think of and this might be because I am a fussy eater (sometimes) is when someone cooks for you (e.g mum in law) but doesn't actually tell you beforehand what they are cooking, then when you don't like most of it and don't eat much you get funny looks and questions.

    It's not quite as bad if food is in the middle of a table and you take what you like, its when its just put onto your plate.

    I've had some terrible experiences with various ex girlfriends parents, family etc. I hate to waste food as well, so its awkward on a few levels.

  3. I read rumours (I know I know I shouldn't) about Sting possibly coming back for one more match against The Undertaker at Mania. If that was to happen you would need a lot of smoke and mirrors for that match given the age of both, not to mention who would go over in that match.

    If Bray lost to Goldberg then maybe have Bray disappear until Mania and then get involved in that match (either taking both out or them teaming to take him out during the match).

    That way Sting/Undertaker don't lose (The WrestleMania moment would be the standoff anyway), Bray has something to get involved in & Goldberg faces Reigns. 

     

  4. One from recent times. Fandango/Breeze

    Always thought Fandango & Breeze could have gone a lot further.  Decent/solid in the ring, good characters that seemed over with the live audience, always thought they had the potential to be a modern day Edge/Christian. 

    Maybe there is still hope yet.

  5. Can't believe I forgot last week, didn't even realise the Real Game had kicked off either, but anyways....

  6. I was surprised that Michael Cole mentioned Drew's past (3MB, leaving WWE etc) during the closing shots of the show. On one hand I get how they wanted to do the whole 'He's come back and improved' but WWE also have a habit of not mentioning things like that. 

  7. I'm not Drew's biggest fan but those rumble moments have won me over. Also it's nice to have someone different win the Rumble. 

    I look at it that Drew has nothing to lose with this being a bit of a wild card match, whereas if Reigns or Seth would have won then it would have been the same old status quo main event match we've seen before, same build up etc. 

    I know it probably wouldn't happen but imagine if Drew did a Goldberg, Claymore inside 10 seconds and takes Brock out. What a moment that would be and hopefully the next big star. 

  8. Loved the mens rumble match as well. Brock was brilliant during this, I wouldn't even mind if next year he attempts to win it again and goes through everybody, thought he was gold in the first half of the rumble. Drew taking out both Brock & Roman was great, I had a horrible feeling Roman would win so Drew taking him got a pop from me just to stop Reigns winning it but am pleased for Drew too. Those Claymore kicks looked brutal. 

    Didn't really enjoy the Women's rumble, maybe because it was predictable that Charlotte would win, after a great year last year the women's division feels very flat at the moment. Shame.

    So we get the Mania go home Raw onSunday morning, then Mania Sunday night/Monday morning, then the Mania go home Smackdown the Saturday after Mania? Wouldit not have made more sense for Raw on Saturday morning and Smackdown on Sunday? Talk about a 90s throwback.

    WWE might be clever and put on a WrestleMania preview show on Mania morning to try and entice viewers to purchase the show/sign up to the WWE network. If ratings are good they might be able to do the odd special like that anyway. 

  10. I like daft things like contract signings, parties, weddings (all in the ring) where you just know something silly is going to happen, its probably wrestlecrap most of the time but works for me. The Triple H/Stone Cold one posted earlier in the thread is a good example, also the Chuck/Billy wedding is another where its silly but had its twists & turns.

  14. I think the society as a whole would have to accept big changes such as earlier closing hours (no more 24 hour supermarkets), shops possibly closed on Sunday and retail closed on Bank Holidays/Christmas/New Years. I don't think that will ever happen but would allow for rest, time with families and saved costs (which means cheaper prices for say food if on lower wages).

  15. Without trying to sound morbid Vince may not live out the next decade, feels like he has aged a lot the last few years so WWE could be at risk if/when it does happen.

    I have no idea how much shows make on the likes of Netflix/Prime but maybe AEW could end up on there at some point as everything is heading that way. What would WWE do then? Keep the Network or try get there own deal? Monday Night Streaming Wars?
