Cesaro came in as a rugby player before they dropped it with no explanation.

 

In storyline, the multilingual Cesaro served in the Swiss militia, before embarking on a career in rugby, which ended with him being banned for "excessive aggression"

Never bothered watching it but did they address what happened at the end of last week with Alexa?

Basically in a nutshell, he didn't burn Alexa to a crisp and he was angry with himself so he yelled at old people all night. 

Hogan is a cunt and all but credit to the guy, it wouldn’t surprise me if he went all "that doesn't work for me brother" when someone suggested that Orton belittle him. 

Good for Flair for staying faithful to his missus and resisting the "charms" of Lacey. 

Quick question, has there been more Charlotte telling Ric to piss off angles than lockdowns? 

Is Garza the worlds worst lothario? 

Guess Bray is OK if his dad turned up and was enjoying himself backstage. 

And lastly can we check if Goldberg is alright. He seemed to watch RAW and think it was Drew is actually Randy and was the one belittling the legends. Guess hitting is on those lockers can cause problems in the long run

So New Japan have got themselves a UK TV deal, Chris Charlton blurting out the only clue for which channel it’ll be on was “Purple”

Has BT Sports picked it up? 

I can't imagine so. WWE would have to be exclusive on BT

Without having watched the show yet, my presumption is that "purple" clue is about Bein Sports in America

With wins over Omega and Adam Cole, if Brodie Jr doesn't get No.1 in the PWI, the whole thing is a big rig

Very happy that Challenge is being added, wonder if they will commence the uploads from the beginning or somewhere random like 1993?

According to Richard Land, the guy behind historyofwwe.com its the first shows. 

The I Quit match between Bret and Backlund just for Roddy Pipers "what do ya say" 

Kennel From Hell

Towe of Doom or whatever it was called from Great American Bash 1988. Just absolute nonsense with JR yelling throughout like it was a 5 star classic

I laughed, I cried, I cheered like crazy when Erick appeared. It was a wonderful 2 hours dedicated to someone who was so beloved by his peers. 

Best moments were the Redbeard appearance and Excalibur frantically trying to correct Jericho everytime he said Rowan, the Evil Uno booting Kingston when Remsburg was checking Eddie's boot spot, - 1 hitting MJF with the kendo stick, Eddie Kingston's speech to camera (the line "if you remember his teachings, He's never gone" got me), Jake hitting the clothesline and the music video at the end.

It’s just a nice gesture, not sure they really can contract someone out at that age without all kinds of things in place. He’s not really the champion either in case you are worried he’s gonna get hurt in matches defending it 

The kid is probably better than Joey Janela already

Where in Birmingham? 

Entertainment world. Last time I checked there were a bunch of mags there. They also have a shelf full of Hasbros and the old WCW figures from 1990

I have every issue of Powerslam magazine and I think I am missing two issues of it’s pretty-cursor Superstars of Wrestling .

 

Any ideas of approx how much they would be worth ?

 

Not looking to sell but it good even to have an approximate valuation ..

 

I think about 5 issues in total are in “average” condition , otherwise all are in excellent condition .

Try ebay of course but also try a shop that specialises in Pop culture stuff. There is a shop near me in Birmingham that sells old Power Slams. They would have bought them off the seller to have them in stock

Does anyone know of any good sellers puro dvds in this country?

If this is the reason then it's even worse that they didn't pay a proper tribute. Death doesn't care if it's Spring, Summer, Easter or Christmas. The fact remains Brodie Lee was part of one of the best stables and involved in MOTY feuds regularly for WWE. If Sting popped his clogs tomorrow I'd guarantee there would be more than a graphic briefly on the screen.

We all know the reason why he didn't get the video package treatment on RAW. In some people's minds, those being key players backstage, Brodie is an AEW guy who turned his back on WWE. These are the people who got the announcers to bury WCW during the Sting/Triple H match, that call other promotions minor league on television. Those people are stuck in a war mentality like it was in the eighties and the Monday Night war and the fact they couldn't do a couple of minutes video package in a 3 hour show proves it

Not sure if this counts but over the top rope disqualifications in mid 90s WCW were stupid. Even stupider when they happened in cruiserweight title matches. 

The card for Dynamite this Wednesday in what will be a tribute show to Jon Huber

I don’t understand why they won’t just go all in with the guy. I hope it’s something as simple as WWE wanting to delay his big win until crowds are back.

You could do Reigns/Bryan, for example, at Wrestlemania, have Reigns go over and then go with Reigns/Big E later in the year in front of an audience. It doesn’t really matter where that happens - that first show with a capacity crowd will feel like a Wrestlemania, it’ll be that significant. Capping it off with a Big E Universal title win? The emotion in that arena would be off the chart.

I don't see why we should rush Big E for the Universal title at the moment. Roman is tearing it up right now. Having him as the guy at this time makes all the sense. Personally I'd love Big E to break Honky Tonk Man's record and you can push him as the guy who holds the longest reign for the IC and tag title so when he has the shot against either the WWE/Universal champ it'll be a big match.

Would it surprise you that Will Colling and Jonathan Snowden tweeted praising the bravery of Bruce Mitchell for writing this garbage

All that was missing was Nailz wanting some chowder

A theme fit for a babyface women's champion

Even Lance Storm had something nice to say which speaks volumes.

This obviously shows that you don't look on his twitter then

Dave was hinting that Silver, Uno and all the others in the Dark Order didn't know about Brodie and his health 

Heartbroken 

41 is no age at all

It's quarter to midnight on Christmas Eve and I'm watching UWF II with Akira Maeda and Co and I'm thinking "if WWE did shoot style wrestling with its current roster, the 18-49 demo would be double what AEW are doing at the moment"

And how is QT Marshall training wrestlers? He's fucking useless

We should judge how good of a trainer QT is in a few years. 

I'll just say this, those who watch Ring Of Honor would say that Jonathan Gresham is a fantastic wrestler maybe the best technical wrestler in the world. His trainer was Mr Hughes. 

Would love to know who came up with the idea of Indi Wrestling
