My experience with the Hasbros is limited, it consists of a tag team fued between the Bushwackers (Luke had that Skinner-style stomp action) and the team of Ultimate Warrior & Macho King Randy Savage (small rosters make for strange bedfellows) when I picked them all up on a long weekend to Blackpool. Once we returned home they were the centrepieces of a federation that consisted of a Gamorrean guard from RoTJ, a selection of Master Of The Universe figures and a couple of Visionaries action figures. There was also a strange GI Joe 5" scale HM Murdoch figure who was usually a referee or manager. I'm contemplating starting to book something similar with my Amiibos on Wii U Smash Brothers, but it wouldn't be the same.

I think that's why Angle's on the brink of quitting to go into teaching. Unless "going into teaching" is code for "becoming a trainer in NXT".

I heard that as well. He went and hung out with some guys dressed as Hogan, Savage etc that people kept chanting for throughout Raw. If they'd had issues with those guys, surely security should have escorted them out?

Also, Scott Malbranque you missed out when somebody called him "Snowman".

Lesnar against Prawn Strawman would be a lousy attraction and it would stink the house out, but i'd watch Lesnar Bob Holly the useless lump after seeing the petrified look on Strawbeards coupon at the rumble, it reminded me of the time he threw that chair at the Miz. As for Taker/Snowman though, they'd genuinely be better off with one of the Uso's masquerading as Fake Yokozuna and going over Taker with the Hulkster stepping in to finish the job (with Takers blessing of course). Would get one of the Uso's on the Mania card if nothing else. 

I loved it. As soon as he hits Lesnar and Lesnar decides he's not selling it he was lost, I then loved that instead of fear it was sheer delight in Lesnar's eyes as he realised the only way to get Strawdonkey to sell was to go to work properly on him and he started hitting those flying knees on him.

 

Serious question now, is wrestleuk actually Dixie Carter?

 

Nah, he isn't building up the debut of Daivari or Barry Horowitz as "MASSIVE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT WILL CHANGE THE LANDSCAPE OF PRO WRESTLING FOREVER THIS WEEK!!!"

 

You forget, Raidster, that there are usually 5-6 weeks of MASSIVE ANNOUNCEMENTS that there is a MASSIVE ANNOUNCEMENT coming soon, each more massive than the last along with vignettes and video packages that in no way resemble something WWE were using last week. Then the MASSIVE ANNOUNCEMENT is completely overshadowed by the completely unpromoted appearance of BJ Whitmer in a match against Robbie E.

People would rather watch repeats of Bullseye? Always a capacity crowd and less predictability about the finish of the main event.

Sorry, didn't realise I'd posted twice.

People would rather watch reruns of Bullseye? At least they all reach a logical conclusion and the presenters aren't as patronising.

WWE did used to be on network TV back around the turn of the century. I remember watching the 2000 Royal Rumble on Channel 4 and the huge amount of complaints they received about the Cactus Jack HHH street fight. Unfortunately after that channel 4 proceeded to air the PPVs on a 50 minute tape delay with commercial breaks and anything deemed violent censored out, much like the daytime edits of current WWE shows, but well after the watershed. That arrangement drew equal numbers of complaints from wrestling fans which, combined with them sticking Heat on slap bang in the middle of Sunday dinner between Hollyoaks repeats led to Sky picking the rights to them back up in 2002. The 2001 Rumble was ruined as we'd get a full commercial break pretty much every 5 entrants. Unfortunately I can't see it happening again as nobody has the money to pry any rights away from Sky, plus I'm sure Vince would rather people subscribe to the network. I can hear Jerry saying it now: "Paying for Sky to watch WWE? You're an idiot!"

I watched the "Kings Court" episode of Table For Three the other day, which was pretty good.

R-Truth needs to run into the main event of WrestleMania and throw the champion out of the ring, thinking it's the Royal Rumble. Give him pyro and everything.

Or come out the night after Mania on Raw, win a match, and point to the sign that is no longer there.

 

I love both of these ideas, although is the sign for next year's Mania not usually up the night after Mania? Maybe he should clear the ring at Money In The Bank by throwing everybody out over the top rope then, as he's celebrating, see the briefcase hanging above him?

I'm looking forward to my first PROGRESS show. Has Dave Rayne been announced yet? I kid. I'm particularly looking forward to the London Riots Vs SDS and finally getting to see Will Ospreay.
