Gonna say, I'm not sure it's a true non compete... they are still employed and paid for 90 days. Mind you I'm not a lawyer, so be interesting to see what comes of this. Outside of wrestling that is fucking massive for the corporate world. Also means McMahons non compete is non existent.

I hope the next fued Brian Danielson is in sees this exchange... "So if you wanna say your the best... then I need you to beat me to prove it. Cos I'm the best!" "Mate you've lost the last 20 fueds you were in. Fuck off."

Spot on. "BAD-ASS-ATRON" Megatron, a man destined to become a ruthless dictator and crime lord, who will happily enslave or eradicate an entire race to satisfy his people's need for energy "We'll call you B!"

Not entirely sure, but would not be 100% surprised if the Transformers Movie was the first cinema film I ever saw.

Add in Kenny Omega returning to try and convince Hangman to "do the right thing", only for Hangers to send him back on the injury list, and LaGoosh's story is spot on.

Basically yeah. Old Cyrus the Virus was the Network rep and thus had control on their TV show. However he had no power on ppv because it wasn't on the Network.

Just wanted to come on here to say that the new Transformer's ONE movie trailer is the biggest pile of steaming shit imaginable and I hate it. Have a nice weekend everyone.

This. I don't think I've ever seen someone so successful at putting people "over", yet somehow they end up worse off. Guevara, Garcia (seriously! how did they fuck that up so bad?), Hobbs. The Garcia shit really annoyed me. The man is pulled between his mentor and his hero, and his mentor ROH champion Jericho needles him and tests him time and time again, then when it comes time to be the man..... he basically pussies out and Jericho can't be arsed with being ROH champion anymore. Then he just kind of... walks away from his stable with a "yeah... Im bored of this now. Bye." If ROH ever wanted to be taken seriously, having Garcia as the young "next Brian Danielson" figurehead of ROH would of been fantastic.

They no it's not real yeah? Jesus.

Gotta say I dig the new tag belt design. Clearly taking design inspiration from the world titles and effectively making them a family of belts. Love it.

I think the main thing that disappointed me is that I would of liked to of seen Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens involved in that final match too. In fact I would of preferred them over the legends (though im probably in the minority here). They were so much more involved in the two year storyline and would of closed their arcs off nicely. Finally I would of done a failed cash in attempt that was a mirror of the "heist of a century" only for Damien Priest to be cut off by someone. Have Priest win the title Monday was a Rollins that is absolutely smashed up beyond believe to close out the post Mania Raw.

I have been waiting for *YEARS* for someone to do that. (Has anyone else done it that I'm not aware of?)

Random note, but considering the recent issue with wwe and aew, was amazed to see The Bucks and Kenny Omega referenced as aspect of Cody's journey in the hope package. Even referring to aew indirectly as "a revolution."

Im convinced The Rock has pissed off Samantha. "FIrst.... weighing in a 5 million pounds of raw sex appeal, he is entering his ten thousandth day as the super mega heavyweight undisputed hyper champion, the head of the table, the sex god, the father of my future child (sorry Ricochet).... ROMAN.... MOTHER FUCKING...... REEEEEEEIIIIIIGNNNNS." "And his partner... The Rock."

Man, the way they inducted Mohammed Ali was tasteless. How anyone in wwe couldn't see how that was going to be received is bizarre.

I think WCW had a better balance. Yes you had your TV title and Cruiser devision for rhe in ring, which wwe never had, and but you still had Luger, Sting, Macho, Hogan, DDP and nWo for the main narratives.

It was bad. And my theory was that this was something that sounded good on paper but in practice didn't work. The "Gunn your so enraged with White you come and pound the crap out of him and in desperation to get away he hits a low blow" is a great way to further the story. But it ended up being "you beat the crap out of him for a prolonged amount of time, hit your finisher TWICE, have him dead to rights and refuse to pin him". If it had been a case of Gunn runs out, throws him in and out of the ring for two / three minutes, White hits a low blow for the dq, and then the entire bang bang gang pile in to beat the crap out of gunn, it could of worked. Essentially it needed to be less of a match and more of a glorified segment.

He's still showing that vulnerability. He's definitely the underdog into the match. However now Im wishing they did Gunther vs Zayn in a Jackass match. I just want to see Gunther chopped with a giant novelty hand.

Yeah was naf. Why they couldn't just go for some sort of Rey vs Escobar one of one, or some massive gang warfare match. If they went with the latter, they could of done a much better job of building it up. Introducing new members and alliances over the course of several weeks instead of "OH HEY... DOMS ON OUR SIDE.... AND DRAGON LEE IS LWO?!?!?!?!!" Ugh... I hate it when they try to shoehorn in a non sensicle match.

I wanna see her in a tag team with Belair. Have them chased the belts for a few months, a solid run before losing them around Survivor Series, and after a Cargill heelturn, build for Belair vs Cargill for next year's mania.

Who you kidding? Strowman was beloved and the fans were cheering as he smashed in Roman night in / night out. Didn't help that Roman had to get his SHIELD buddies to help him defend the belt against him like a heel. At the time, I honestly thought they dropped the ball not making Roman the heel at that time. Seriously... how is that not the start of heel champ Roman1?!?!
