It was supposed to be in Washington, moving it to Wembley meant needing Davey in the main event and winning the IC title, whether he wanted to or not

Quite possibly, anytime I've watched it in the last 6 months or so they've been 2 to 3 years old, presumably everyone is busy with other things, like that terrible Beat the Chasers and all the stuff Walsh does with his son

Thought this Million Pound Drop on 4 was going to be like the Lee Mack Inside No.9, turns out to be an Anti Gambling promo I'm sure Bradley Walsh will be telling ITV he doesn't want any money off The Chase seeing as they're sponsored by Gala Bingo

I was into every match except for Zilla Vs Dempsey, Birthright don't do anything for me, which I reckon is 99% down to Uriah Connors being such a shite name Speaking of shite, the end of Kelani Vs Wren was exactly that, she barely had any leverage with her foot on the rope plus it ruined my prediction of Kendal turning on Wren Main event was alright but how you're supposed to believe hitting someone in the face with a crowbar wouldn't kill them, then Waller hilariously still bothering to do his finish after that, hate weapons like that in matches, I never like HHH's sledgehammer for the same reason Despite those negatives I did actually enjoy the show overall but if you're not already a fan of NXT then it's not going to convert you

Just watched the Ground Zero main event again, absolute chaos in the best possible way, can't believe they haven't edited out a fan in the front row calling HBK queer and Hunter a faggot, along with HBK gobbing at another fan in the front row (at least he was a heel that time) Despite those unsavoury moments you've still got a wild brawl the crowd are into all the way, one of the funniest bits ever when HBK is pounding on the door to escape Taker and despite the non finish, the glorious sight of The Sultan in a trackie top and shorts while still wearing his daft red mask coming out with everyone else to get in between them at the end

At the very least NXT call ups won't have their character changed the moment they turn up on Raw or Smackdown once HBK takes over, you'd hope for an easier week to week watch as well

Was he that influential in the writing crew? From what he's said in his podcasts he seemed to be more backstage pre tapes etc

I remember it being called Hollycaust briefly in '99 so when would have shared a locker room with those two by that point?

Have to remember that WCW's was smaller so would've been a nightmare when Hennig shit himself

United just seem like a particularly hard scenario on an old Champ Man game now All this stuff about clearing the deadwood just can't happen realistically, you shift the players you want rid of and you're paying them to leave which leaves you with nothing to replace them with Howe is a good shout as he might actually coach what's there, more likely they'll stop playing for him in a year then it all begins again

We ended up with Kelly Kelly so why not? Similarly, I spent 3 months in the summer of '98 thinking Mankind was called Nick Foley because of watching Raw on VHS that had been recorded on about 3000 times

They even have the women dressed like Power Rangers on the posters for the Saudi shows now?

Glengarry Glen Ross My third favourite film of all time, only Jaws and Casablanca above it, just phenomenal, best cast ever, great twist, even the rain is incredible, 5 stars all day every day on Letterboxd

Just reminded me of Vic Reeves' superb piss take of Kay on Shooting Stars 'Dya remember Dirty Den?'

Disappointed when I saw the name Barrymore and it wasn't Michael, watching Cenabot in interview mode trying to understand what 'Awight?' means would have been great
