Thanks mate 😉

I’m just curious as to why they aren’t doing the slot pre-Smackdown, still live, as opposed to after like they do now. Unless there’s something else being broadcast on the network for that timeslot?

Other than the responses also given, there's also the chance that people dont bother turning up for a half arsed cruiser weight show before SmackDown and then a decent dark main event. At least by holding after SD and before the main you keep the bulk of them in their seats. Its not as much of a problem for Main Event when you can edit and dub the show (unless they show it live too?) and nobody watches it anyway.

Am I going mad? I am writing a wrestling quiz and I am sure in the past I came over a titbit that Bray Wyatt got his name from Stand by Me (If not that another Stephen King inspired film) where the radio announcer says "...and this song goes out to Bray Wyatt and his sister Abigail"

I have tried googling to confirm this and I cannot find anything. Have I completely made this up? I am looking at @Astro Hollywood to answer this after his brilliant dissection of the character on his blog. 

Probably doesn't help or mean anything to you, but i'm sure i remember he went through a few names/gimmicks in a short period of time before settling on the Bray Wyatt gimmick and name, one being under a leatherface style mask as Axel Mulligan, although the eventual character of Wyatt was initially and very briefly Levi Wyatt or similar.

Hi,

Does anyone know the best place to sell tickets for Raw in London? I have a ticket but can't go anymore, was going to see if I can try and sell it on ebay but I'm not sure if theres a better way!

Full Stand By Me script, if that's of any help.

And a quick search of that tells me the words "Bray", "Wyatt" and "Abigail" don't appear, so if it is in Stand By Me, it's not in the script. I've never heard the story myself.

The Axel Mulligan gimmick, as far as I can tell, only lasted for a couple of matches and never made TV. I'm not sure when he used the name Levi Wyatt, either - it's acknowledged as one of his prior ring names on Wikipedia and Cagematch, but Cagematch has no matches under that name; though he could easily have done a few vignettes before debuting, I do vaguely remember one of him backed up by Eli Cottonwood before Eli was replaced by Luke Harper.

Somewhere in the mix he did a weird private detective gimmick, too.

Stub Hub.  Easy.  And, as it's sold out, as long as you're not planning to take the piss with what you're selling it for, you should easily sell it.

Perfect cheers! I'll see what happens with stubhub.

That's precisely the only time i recall he was referred to as Levi. That promo (which is probably my favourite promo he's ever done), which was basically an introduction to the new character in FCW, when i first saw it he was named Levi, but then it was very, very shortly after changed to Bray. So good chance he never actually wrestled under Levi. Brought it up as thought maybe that name was making reference to something rather than Bray.

[The Dart]

I was in attendance for his first match as Bray Wyatt in Tampa, but according to the internet, he wrestled as Levi Wyatt for one match two weeks before that (and he wrestled as Hunky Harris in between those two matches).

It's a shame he was gash because "Eli Cottonwood" is a perfect name for the pack. Makes "Luke Harper" and "Erick Rowan" sound positively cosmopolitan.

is the highspots wrestling network available in the uk/ireland on the roku?

[Accident Prone]

What with a number of Coliseum Home Videos being added to the network recently, does anybody know if any of them included that belting HBK/Diesel vs 123 Kid/Ramon tag match? I first saw it on a Shawn Michaels comp but I think it was included on other releases too. I didn't re-sub so I can't currently browse the collection myself but that encounter is enough for me to drop down another £9.99. 

[WyattSheepMask]

Is that the one from Action Zone? I don’t think it was from any of the Home Video stuff that got added, but that’s not to say that it won’t ever get added.

it is on YouTube though:

 

[Accident Prone]

Yes, that's the one! Excellent stuff, that's my break sorted. Cheers!

For anyone with any wrestling training:

How does Finn Balor do the coup de grace without killing his opponent? I mean, all his weight lands on them, how does he do it without causing actual damage?
