Bet Vince is creaming himself over the thought of pitting them against each other at Survivor Series. Real Shawn and Bret energy.

What a fucking shambles though. Embarrassing situation all round. I said before, now believe it more than ever. With the way they're writing them, it's only a mater of time before the top girls start heading to the competition.

(Please not Charlotte though. Fuck off to WOW or whateverthefuck.)

“What is Scarborough Fair doing in the Impact Zone?”

Personally, I’d love her to show up in Mexico or NWA so I won’t be forced into watching her.

Charlotte is sensational isn’t she? Even off camera she makes Becky interesting again. Best in the business!

Becky's floundered around since she accidentally cut her face on Raw that time so Charlotte's selflessly put her back over again. A wonderful woman.

There was a time when I'd be worried Dixie would see a post like this and we'd see her turn up in a stable with Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme.

Apparently Deville was involved too, below is from the Wrestling-Online Newsletter:

Quote

 

> SONYA DEVILLE ALSO IN BACKSTAGE ARGUMENT WITH FLAIR
- The situation which happened on Friday between Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch continued to evolve with new information coming in. PWInsider.com, which originally broke the story, said that the heated argument between the two took place in front of WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon, Bruce Prichard, and others who at the time were at the Gorilla position. The situation also escalated when Sonya Deville, who was part of the segment also got in on it and had a nasty argument with Flair. During their bit, Deville demanded that Flair pick up the title to get the segment back on track and PWInsider said that Deville, a former MMA fighter, was "mad enough to want to fight Flair." According to other sources, the now Smackdown Women's champion was escorted out of the building by WWE security to diffuse the situation from escalating even more. The consensus is that Charlotte was the one to blame and Lynch had every right to stand up for herself and not take crap from her former best friend. Flair has been apparently very difficult to work with lately and her attitude changed big time when her boyfriend Andrade was released.

I'll preface this by saying it was a shit segment, it's not anything some of our favourite blokes wouldn't have done (wife beater Austin for one), and while I don't know what she's like in real life, I can't imagine it's easy keeping your head screwed on when your Ric Flair's daughter (or the sister of someone who committed suicide, however long ago that was). 

If we're assuming the reports are true, then cynically it makes sense for the WWE to dump her and let AEW pick her up and deal with the problem. Unless she's worth the headache when it comes to merch/tickets/ratings (I'm assuming she isn't because I'm assuming that nobody is at this stage). 

I can't imagine AEW wouldn't try and pick her up. Whether that's best for her though is probably something even she might not know.

They've sold less than 4,500 tickets for the Smackdown house show in Manchester next week.

Maybe the time has come to reduce ticket prices for the tours here.  Tickets for shows in America are half the price of the shows here sometimes.   I get it's more expensive to run shows here, but the prices are clearly putting people off (as well as the TV shows being poor).

I've just paid ÂŁ70.20 for a ticket to the Liverpool house show this Sunday and I'm sat in the upper tier so it's definitely too expensive.

I originally wasn't going to go as theres no Reigns, Usos, New Day and Belair is now on Raw. However, the announcement of Ciampa vs Sami Zayn vs Bron Breakker and Walter vs Cesaro sold me on it.

Balor vs Sheamus should be good aswell. Have they wrestled before in WWE? Can't think of a match or program between the two. 

Mcintyre vs Corbin, Nakamura vs Jinder Mahal and Jeff Hardy Vs Madcap Moss are uninspiring matches to say the least because I don't care about the three heels.

Edit: Now I think about it, I've never seen Jeff Hardy live so thats cool.

Most fans in the UK probably don't think the price of the ticket is worth it these days because of lack of star power on the tours.

Back in the day some bought tickets for WWE without even keeping up with the TV shows, mainly because it was a good night out with a chance to see one or two big names live in person.

I usually enjoy live events regardless of who's there or what company it is. They're usually an enjoyable experience.

Main things stopping me these days:

1. Tickets are too expensive

2. I don't have a train season ticket anymore so I have to add travel on top now

3. I'm still limiting my 'going out' and I just don't really fancy risking it at the mo. I probably would for AEW..

Really annoyed we don't get that match at London.

I suppose that is still a factor in low ticket sales, but is it though?   The London show is a couple of hundred tickets away from being sold out and is a big improvement on the last show they did at Wembley.
