50 man BR? In a normal WWE ring? Fuck it, sounds fun.

Actually, when I opened my Facebook (I don't do twitter), and found it shared to my wall 4 times in three pageDowns, I decided to watch it. Then came to the hyperbole and bullshit of this great place.

Curiosity, as morbid as that is. And a desire to see the "reality" rather than wading through all the bullshit and hyperbole the dirtsheets usually drag up.

I would like to think the kick from Juve was more a "The fuck you doing sandbagging me?" rather than anything more deliberate, given that with some old school stars, the show must go on, so it's not beyond possibility King said he was "ok, just buy me some time". 

The moment Juve tries to roll him over, the ref should have stepped in, waved it off. Fuck it, call it a KO finish. The delay in getting him any attention, I'm afraid to say, took any chance he had away from him. 

LLW posted on their FB that they "believe he suffered a cardiac arrest"

Seen the footage, and two things stand out. One: What was the ref doing? King didn't get up after the near fall, clearly not in a good way and the ref does nothing to check on his condition. Then when Juve shoots the half for a pin and can't roll him, why then did the ref not throw an X? 

Can't comment on the provision of medical teams, I assume that someone was there due to public liability insurance reasons. Either way, it's tragic and I hope Juve doesn't get blasted.

That feeling of peeing in the sea/swimming pool

Coming home and your pet treating it like you've been away forever

Link to the official announcement. The pre-show will be live on ITV4 before the PPV

Has anyone else seen the "mockumentary" on ring announcer Greg? Or was it a fever dream? The difference between that and the current state of affairs is amazing.

It's a huge deal for AEW to get this. Yeah, it's Box Office, but surely lays the groundwork for a future TV deal, even tucked away on ITV4 or something.

The reddit user LazyCanasian  (John Tenta's son) posted this, and looking back has some nice stuff about his dad

The overnight ratings are in...2.8mill first hour, dropping to 2.08 for hour 3, even against NBA playoffs, that's not great reading for anyone.

I know word was out 2 hours before that the Head Writer had been fired due to "butting heads" with the EVP of Creative. So this stank of a Vince re-write. 

Well, just when you think they've reached rock bottom, Vince rewrites the whole show and makes it worse. I don't know what was the worst part. The "genius" announcement of the Wildcard rule, The Revival being buried somewhere near the inner core, or...the rest is a shit-coloured blur. The highlight, I'm sure you will agree, was Firefly Funhouse and the picnic.

Has someone checked on the Fox execs who signed the TV deal?

It's Saturday before it turns Sunday. That's how it works.

It's like one of these "private" performances musicians do, surely. You come, you play this set, we pay big.

So if the money mark wants 90s nostalgia, throw money at Taker/Goldy/Hogan

Meltzer is turning into one of those mediums...throwing out blanket statements but always with a get out clause.

I see a man, was it a man that passed? No, must be a father figure then

Spin the wheel, Make the deal! Jeddah Jailhouse Brawl? Dustup in the Desert? Stone on a pole match? 

Seems like WWE are more rigorously enforcing that "injury time" extension, may be coincidence it involves two guys who have been mooted to go elsewhere when their contracts are up.

Otto man, that's no chippy, that's a fish restaurant that delivers surely!

For comparison, nearest chippy to me is £7 for cod and chips, stretching to £9 for a large rock and large chips. Chinese "chippy" similar. Charging £18 for fish and chips is bloody robbery.

"And then the whole arena cheered!"

Just seen the footage. Innocuous looking spot, ref trapped in the corner gets superkicked. Well done to all involved for what I assume was on the fly, Drake taking a heel kick bump to set up the reworked finish. Footage in spoilers if I can get it to embed.

Has to be The Wurzels. Take Bond out of the city

Word circulating it's due to the move to Fox and Fox wanting a recognisable Latino to showcase on Fox Deportes. Zelina is part of the package, and with Black just coming up, no harm in moving him either

I wouldn't mind so much if we hadn't seen Andrade moved to Raw last week. And by the looks of things, SD has both secondary titles now

Putting this in here as it seems appropriate. Reports saying WWE have moved Andrade, Zelina and Aleisteir to SD "effective immediately". WWE.com shows SD logos on their profiles. Of course the rumours that Charlotte is behind it are rampant.
