March 2028? I know there's a backlog but fucking hell

Was he doing a deaf gimmick?

Picked up Hard Eight last week as it's had a release on 88 blu ray, Boogie Nights is one of my favourite films so always wanted to see it 4 stars on Letterboxd, great acting, especially Gwyneth Paltrow, unless I'm forgetting something obvious she's never worked with PTA again, can't wait to watch with the directors commentary

SOMEONE WORE A MASK FOR A LOGICAL REASON AND IT ACTUALLY MADE A DIFFERENCE TO WHAT HAPPENED NEXT! NXT now officially the best booked show in North America

Hopefully they won't have him go on a losing streak before cashing in, always used to love that trope On another note, I stopped watching Raw after Mania but has Reigns ever said why he's bothered about holding the same title he slagged off when Rollins held it? I can understand him wanting to beat Punk but the whole point of the title itself was that it was beneath him

What was with getting rid of the two smaller ladders? Even Graves mentioned it didn't make any sense, which from a kayfabe point of view it obviously didn't, but even then they weren't in the way of the stunt he was setting up so it made no sense either way

Vaguely remembered him burying Hogan around that time but I've never seen his quotes about Triple H before, I know it's not like he was shooting on Raw but surprised they put that in the magazine with how strong it was, completely true as well

Bronson Reed is no doubt healthier after dropping weight but he doesn't look intimidating at all now, needs to knock the Tsunami on the head now he's smaller too Thought Lola Vice was going to break her neck when she fell from one ladder to the other I can see Penta cashing in on Zayn and giving it the (masked) shocked lottery win face they get their babyfaces to do, instantly making him look like a knob, if it was upto me he'd win the title and celebrate by wearing that Paddy's Day hat he wore in AEW that time

I'd imagine he was that checked out by then they could've put Malenko Vs Kidman from Souled Out on last and he wouldn't have been arsed

Mentioning the hardcore fans bringing signs, I remember the Nitro or two they did in Australia towards the end of 2000 having loads of 'World Wankers Federation' signs in the crowd, so they might have had to go to the other side of the world but at least a few people liked them more than the WWF

Sticking the belt on Steiner and keeping it on him helped focus the shows a lot too, I was watching Nitro from when it started on Bravo and at least it didn't give you a headache trying to keep up with who was champion once Scotty won it Just enjoyed reading the last few pages of this thread and I thought of a question, what if they'd hired JR to run the place when Bischoff was sent home instead of hiring Russo (and Ferrara and Banks)?

I've only had 4 Newcy Brown and 3 Theakstons and genuinely thought the first part was about the Royal Rumble for some reason

Wouldn't do any harm sending her back really, they mention her in every Zaria match as it is

Read an article on Yahoo Sports about the situation that has a weird line in it about how WWE need to publicly confirm what's happening with Carver, fuck knows why anyone would think that's important at the moment I give credit to WWE for not saying anything, he's obviously not going to be on any shows for the foreseeable future and they can quietly release him if all the evidence against him proves to be true As long as the woman in question feels comfortable at work and is being supported then that's all that matters

The F5 into the pin reversal last week was one of the smoothest moves I've seen in ages, credit to Zaria and Thea Hail Whole show seems to be a bit uneventful at the moment, obviously NXT isn't immune from the 'WWE is shite in Autumn' virus that they've had since about '99
