Do the refs not still have earpieces to get directions from backstage? Even if he didn't know beforehand, surely that's how he would have been told to count the three, not relying on hearing Brock whisper something just before he did it.

Yeah, that's what I think was most likely. They might not have told the ref in advance if they were hypersensitive to leaks, but once in the ring, I would expect very, very clear instructions over the ear piece. 

Regarding Undertaker's streak, I was fortunate enough to be in attendance in NOLA for Mania 30. My first instinct was that the ref had botched it and I immediately felt terrible for him.

What do people think on the surprise entry front this year. You reckon we will still get a couple or is that expecting too much

Lesnar maybe (if that counts!)

Double post - apologies 

eCw. There’s a blast from the past!

My character was 7ft 4 and ate Caramacs IIRC.

 Even iroinically, this just screams 2012 WWE to me, love it

This conjures up amazing memories of Miami.

I think when people on the right say 'left-wing media' they actually mean not rabidly right-wing. Our left-wing tabloids along with most of our broadcast media is liberal more than anything. 

If we're going down the BLM vs. MAGA route, the difference is pretty obvious. The worst of BLM is rioting. The worst of MAGA is actual domestic terrorism. The worst of the MAGA lot had a plan to kill and take hostages with view to overruling the democratic process through violence and intimidation. There's the difference.

Possibly back to Moxley? Maybe Cody? Absolutely should be Page, though and I fully expect it to be. Vegas with a bit of a crowd at double or nothing, everyone on the piss losing their minds over the Cowboy rightfully taking his place at the top table.

Ethan Page had a similar story of child abuse from a valet in the business. He said WCW valet Gorgeous George came up to him and pushed his face between her legs and said "I like em young" when he went to an indy show was a young lad. Do these idiots think skipping to the next town and forgetting about this shit, means it never happened and the person will simply forget it?

My experience wasn’t that extreme, but yeah, I agree entirely. Just because it’s part of an act doesn’t mean it’s acceptable. Were a man to do that it would be open and shut.

Here’s an extract of a review which referred to a situation where the person I accused repeated the same thing to another minor around the same time it happened to me:

”****** soon fought back. Powerbomb, DDT, Tombstone. But nothing seemed to put Angel away. It was only after a Superplex and a big splash did ****** finally get the win. But this wasn't the end of it. After attacking Angel, ****** returned to the dressing room, but not before realising the dreams of one lucky little bugger by getting him in a lip-lock. Hey, no fair! This kid is less than half my age, and he's seeing more action than me! Next WAW show I attend, I'm sitting where he is!”

The chap that authored this was 30 at the time and the reference was to someone ‘less than half his age’.

I'm eagerly awaiting the APPG report. I supplied my full account to them, plus comprehensive evidence that I held back to defend myself in the eventuality of a trial that was being threatened (including multiple pieces of video footage demonstrating the same behaviour plus a written account of exactly the same thing happening to another minor) plus details and evidence of the intimidation that followed. I and others who have submitted their account on the same people will hopefully counter any attempted whitewashing that the accused have attempted through their interview with the APPG and recent unrelated publicity.

He is dumb... However, I agree. This is a work. Gets him more listens. If you had a Venn Diagram with 'wrestling fans', 'heavy metal fans' and 'rootin tootin MAGA conspiracy nuts', you'd have a fairly sizeable market in the middle.

More licensed themes please!

Professor Chris Witty, Dominic Littlewood as Domberg, Goldberg

Looks weird in isolation but nevertheless it’s impressive that they could immerse the audience enough that they didn’t have to be doing acrobatics (as much as a Canadian Destroyer by Andre sounds fun)

These things don’t always hit home. This one does. Comes across a really nice human being, dedicated to his family. As a performer an incredible talent.

This really really sucks. My thoughts are with his family - his wife and two young sons. Awful, awful, awful.

Alicia Fox. Legend.

Bray on Fire, Rey thrown off a building, what's the third? 

Was it Aleister Black off of the building too? 

Honestly, I'm going by what I've seen on socials. I've not properly watched a show since the Rumble. 

Are we now up to three murders on WWE TV this year?

The Women's division can be fixed I think. Bring in Awesome Kong, Jordynne Grace, Tessa Blanchard, Sara del Ray, Tenille Dashwood - that would add some star power to the division. 

I haven't watched this week's show to comment, but the 'car crash' TV comments aren't fair I don't think. There was a lot of action but that's what you need to keep attention on the product. 

The only way I could conceivably see how a top rope powerbomb wouldn’t have the effect would be if it were a sit down powerbomb where the person delivering the move takes most of the impact. Obviously, this isn’t a sit out version. Short answer, I don’t think it would be possible. I’m not a wrestler in any way shape or form, but did a few months of training.

I don't think Fury beats AJ the same way he beat Wilder. AJ is a superior boxer to Wilder but Fury is the best natural boxer in the world and would very likely convicingly beat AJ on points. AJ only beats Fury if he properly rocks him early. 

I'm sure this has been addressed before, but I'm feeling lazy.. How has Sting and his employers over the years been able to get away with riding so close to the Crow I.P.?

Hopefully AEW pillages Impact's talent pool. I'd love to see Gallows & Anderson, Sami Callihan etc. on Dynamite.
