I'm not going to pay for Fite TV, cheap though it is. I'm a traditional viewer. I only fairly recently bothered with netflix, and thats because it's a simple button on my remote for my smart tv.

as I said previously, I probably will skyplus the sunday morning showing, but it will be heavily edited to fit the timeslot, and I'll know the spoilers by then. so it takes away a fair bit. I'd love a Thursday night showing. even if it's at stupid o clock, aslong as it's not heavily censored and I can skyplus it or get it from on demand, that'd far better.

If WWE didn't pull these guys from the event - "Oh nice to see WWE supporting the ref beaters!"

exactly. WWE is damned if they do, damned if they don't with some people.

It now emerges WWE had a reason beyond spite for shearing Southside of their contracted stars. According to Mike Johnson, writing in PWInsider, NXT officials grew concerned that the event is technically to be ran by RevPro, following an incident this past month which saw referee Aaren Wilde legitimately attacked.

WWE decided they did not want their talent appearing in an environment which they did not approve of, nor subject them to any possible danger that could risk them missing upcoming NXT UK shows.

It's understood the decision is not predicated on RevPro's ongoing relationship with New Japan Pro Wrestling.

Ian Rotten apparently becoming woke is only the second most fucked up thing about 2019 IWA-MS. They currently run in a building with a ban on blood!!

Anyway, take it with a whole heap of salt, I saw a tweet from Ian's girlfriend that said "IWA has always been an inclusive environment". Seeing as I do a podcast about 2000s IWA-MS, CZW & ROH, I'd very much dispute that! My guess is because of aforementioned blood ban, Ian decided it was time to clean up the image. Most promotions advertising how inclusive they are are full of shit.

"Philanthrophy is the future of marketing"

sadly, it wasn't far wrong that comment. the only reason some companies promote anything to do with equality, charity, inclusion are doing so for one reason... and it isn't to help others. it's because they think it gets them good publicity. 

I've never seen them both in the same place at the same time, come to think of it.

I'll be honest, I was gonna make some jibes about your hilarious attempts at running wrestling shows and how you were the original Adam Bowler, but now you're begining to sound like him and it feels mean.

to be fair he's a terrific wrestler when he wants to be, the issue has been with how he's presented and written for. he's made to look like a douche which, surprisingly enough isn't leading to him becoming the next Stone Cold.

This is where everything your saying litteraly just proves that you know fucking nothing about anything I've done. 

To be honest, I know quite a bit about things you've done, but I don't think you want to go down that rabbit hole do you.

In fairness, performing in a pub function room for 20 people is pretty similar to karaoke, wether you're actually reading the words from a screen or not.

I completely disagree they are a fantastic band for there genre and it's unfortunate that they have called it a day after this current tour is done. 

Your calling a band that has endorsed you and helped you out awful? If they are that awful why let them endorse you 

do they do covers? they should try for Xfactor or BGT. they might make it outside of Blackpool if they're that good.

Mallory Knox? you can't just make bands up mate

it's a bit of a stretch to call it the music industry to be honest. in all likelihood he's paying a busker a few quid to perform in a back street boozer once a week.

If anything, WWE will use New Japan as an excuse, and folk like you will use Quildan/Bodom as a way to defend WWE's actions but it's clear to most sane, rational people that they were pulled just because WWE fancied flexing their muscles and it does them, and British wrestling, no good at all.

I don't think thats true. I think anyone that has this ridiculous notion that WWE are the big bad machine and full of spite will say its because of that, but most rational, sane people will know there is more to it.

WWE do business with murderous dictatorships, I'm pretty sure the Quildan/Bodom debacle is way under their radar.

It's clearly a case of WWE being right shitarses, and pulling two advertised talents close to show time just because they can. This is really going to fuck over the other WWE-UK contracted wrestlers too, as who in their right mind will continue to book and advertise them?

I can't see it. and the business you speak of is completely different. they are paid to take a show somewhere and put it on.

this here, they aren't getting paid anything and are not in control of the show - I don't blame them.

Knew this would happen, and to the above post, this is just how WWE is it isn’t due to what happened last week with Bodom.

I don't think so. I'm confident this is because RevPro and Quildan are dodgy, and I wouldn't trust them with my talent if I was paying them as healthily as WWE do either.

I'm fairly sure I saw Robert from Corrie at Leeds train station on Friday.

It's more likely its because its very public that RevPro own southside, and after the massive furore last week with Bodum and the referee they don't want talent to be associated with Andy Quildan. and quite rightly.

also, Southside wouldn't exist if it wasn't for WWE, and the guys their losing wouldn't be Wrestlers if it wasn't for WWE, and they pay these guys a very healthy guarenteed sum every month - they can do what they want.

This is so shit.

I'm as traditional a viewer and casual fan of AEW as they come - I won't be watching on a streaming service for 5 quid a month, and although I'll probably skyplus the sunday morning 2 hour show, I don't see how I'm likely to avoid spoilers for 4 DAYS, and how it can avoid being completely butchered in the edit.

a real let down.

if the AEW roster, other than maybe Jericho and Moxley, are 'real stars' then I think my percieved definition of that term is spectacularly wrong.

I can't believe they had big heroic beast slaying babyface Seth Rollins scream in fear cowering away from The Fiend.

also, I know they've booked Braun into the toilet by not pulling the trigger on him, but he's still over though. good reaction in that opening segment, although that might be because Seth was going down like a lead balloon.

I honestly would like sky to pick it up

I fail to see why Sky would let BT take WWE then replace it with an inferior product.

I'm not sure there has been any 'praise heaped on it' has there?

it was pretty hokey nonsense, and I don't think anyone is delighted that Rusev is involved in it in his big return.

as much as I didn't like him never being on the show, I'm starting to think they should put the belt back on Lesnar. he's the only one that really feels like a star.

Seth Rollins has beaten Lesnar twice, beat Braun, beat everyone who's challenged him, he's presented as the top babyface...and it still feels wrong. he just doesn't feel like the top guy. whether it's him, the booking of him, or a combination of both. it isn't working. for all the criticism of Roman getting shoved down our throats.... he feels a level above Seth at the minute, and would be a better Champion. I can't imagine he'd sit whimpering in the corner while The Fiend stares at him either.

I'm a little disappointed. 

with something AEW have done?

holy shit!

the lad can't referee football matches, and can't return to wrestling refereeing... so it IS a career ending assault. he's still allowed to move into a new career where he probably won't be physically assaulted by a bully boy with ideas above his station whom knows his mate, the 'promoter' will probably find it hilarious.
