Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted October 22, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) Danny Burch was the security at my local Virgin Megastore/Zavvi in the early 00's. Amazing to think he's made it from wrestling in the local leisure centre under Bagga to NXT tag team champ. Made up for him. I'm loving the Drake/Dain partnership as well. Edited October 22, 2020 by Hannibal Scorch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad for him, always enjoyed his UK stuff and loved the London Bridge (Boys and Girls) as a finisher. Edited October 23, 2020 by stewdogg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has competed as such reasonable amount too, having sporadic runs as a semi-regular on 205 Live. I think he is significantly leaner than he was in those FWA days though, if not actually lighter.

Paid Members Nick James Posted October 23, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted October 23, 2020 He has definitely lost a lot of size since his Martin Stone days, however he looks in much better shape these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members mim731 Posted October 23, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted October 23, 2020 He was much bigger during his first NXT "run", and then he was making sporadic appearances, but he dropped a fuckload of weight after that and I believe got signed shortly after. Burch looks fucking great in fairness, very happy for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Nick James Posted October 29, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted October 29, 2020 Well, Halloween Havoc was great fun. Other than Shotzi's B movie presentation, I didn't fast forward anything. The Haunted House match was hilarious, Cameron Grimes is great. The zombies in the ring was a bit much, but I took it as a comedy match more than a serious one. Killian Dain is brilliant in the straight man role, not falling over as the Shockmaster and mumbling that he can't see in the mask. Pete Dunne is ripped! Looks an absolute star and Pat McAfee continues to show Gronk how it's done, the guy pisses charisma. Only thing I thought was a bit of a let down was Gargano being N A Champ again, he should be the N/A Champ, eh, eh? I cannot believe how far his stock has fallen. He was the best baby-face in the business at one point. I read there was another outbreak at the PC on Friday and a lot of plans were changed so I wonder how it was going to originally look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted October 29, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) It was a much better show than usual thanks to the theme, and I’m all in on Pat McAfee’s stable of hardcases leading to the inevitable War Games match with the Undisputed Era. Fucking hell though. Eventually, they’re going to have to start writing some proper week-to-week storylines and interesting characters that engage and build the audience properly. There’s only so many times these poor women can take stupidly dangerous bumps on free TV in their desperate attempts to pop ratings. That last bump Candice took was brutal. Pat McAfee and Pete Dunne looking like Brock Lesnar though. My absolute dream team. What’s the deal with Dunne? Can people fly into the US from England now?

TomJones233 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 So a covid outbreak at the PC, STILL doesn't stop this show? Well then.  Don't really care what the show was like, there's more important shit to discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Supremo Posted October 29, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted October 29, 2020 Wade Barrett explaining with a straight face that he was dressed as Bad News Barrett for Halloween was better than anything Mauro Ranallo ever did in that spot. He’s great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
