And he knows what hes talking about. The guys been in self isolation since before this even started. 

Double post.

Regarding Goldberg being the first person to win the world title in 4 different decades, Would Lou Thesz have a claim to this ?
He won the Boston version of the AWA world title in 1937 and then also the NWA world title in 1949, 1956 and 1963. 

Obviously depends on your view of the AWA title at that time.

Former WWE announcer Hugo Savinovich has said that his mates in WWE have told him that the reason the plane was delayed was because Vince told Kevin Dunne to cut the live feed in Saudi Arabia, because WWE are owed $600 million in unpaid fees. Vince being a daft arse kicked off (then fucked off.)

If any of this is true, fuck!

Meltzer has confirmed WWE received a late payment of 60 million USD which would possibly back up Savinovich's story and hes just got the decimal point in the wrong place.

They're normally up on the Saturday morning, however the latest episode has only just gone up today.

Andrex toilet rolls based on the amount of sh*tting threads.

This is D'Margio Wright Phillips (Ian Wrights grandson and Shaun's son) who turns 18 next month training with some of Citys first team.

I used to joke I felt old when SWP was playing because I grew up watching his dad but now it's no longer a joke. 

A really good gesture from the WWE/Vince.

I'm pretty sure them pricing tiers are just the old rumoured ones from a few years ago that someone has just recycled unless archived episodes of the Cruiserweight Classic are now seen as the same level as All PPV events. 

No the Manchester show is on the 8th Nov, the potential all womens SD show would be the week earlier probably somewhere in the US.

However I do wonder if they'll still go ahead with the double taping in Manchester if they no longer need to do this.

Managed to get a floor seat in block D. Its the first wrestling event I've been to in years, but couldn't miss out on the chance to see Okada/Naito/Tanahashi in person.

I might have gotten closer tickets if my boss didn't decide to come over to my desk bang on 12 to tell me something of absolutely no interest to me when I had everything set up in my browser ready to buy.

Yes he needs to leave Twitter well alone.

However I think the newsletter is still good and his historical/obituary pieces are must reads. The recent one on Larry Matysik and St Louis Wrestling was excellent especially if you want to learn about the history of wrestling and the territories. 

Topanga from Boy meets World and Lio Rush at a PWG show last night.

Hitmen?

 

That's not a WWE T-shirt is it? Probably ice hokey or something.

Yes It's possibly a Calgary Hitmen Ice Hockey jersey, I think Bret Hart had something to do with them in the 90s, hence the name. (I seem to recall something in the WWF magazine at the time on it)

The last ever episode of Prime Time wrestling (before Raw replaced it) was the 4/1/1993 so I'd love to see what 1996 episodes you've got.

Why is the old WWF Superstars show not on the Network? Any chance that it might?

I think it's partly to do with the fact that WWE don't own the trademark to "Superstars of Wrestling". I think when they've shown the odd bit of footage on DVD releases from this time period for Superstars, they've had to blur the banner that hung from the rafters. I believe some Indy promoter picked up the rights when WWE let it lapse.

Has a heel ever challenged for the title at WM and won? I know a few have successfully defended since Trips in 2000.I'm enjoying this build for WM. It's completely unpredictable.

Yokozuna beat Bret at WrestleMania 9 for the title, though they switched it to Hogan straight away so the show still finished with a good guy winning the belt.

They did bring him back to host the Best of In Your House dvd/ blu ray set last year.

channel varies, time sometimes switches with clock changes

If you set it on series link it's worth checking every week that everything is in your planner as it has a habit of randomly not picking up a channel change and you'll find its not recorded.

Cheers for this, yes I was planning on just using the series link so I'll try to get in the habit of checking this

Cheers Riddum that's perfect

We're about to get sky for the first time in a long time next week. (inc Sports Package)

Can anyone give me a quick summary of when WWE first run programming airs (i.e. Raw Monday Night etc.)

Is that Miss Linda with him ?
