Paid Members TheBurningRed Posted August 17, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted August 17, 2023 Ahh okay. Fair enough. Even though he’s wrecked these days, I’d like to see him for the nostalgia as I was a huge Jeff Hardy mark.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the wider scheme of things that was an absolute bonkers mess. I'll post more thoughts later but my main 2 takeaways: 1) Fuck the fuck off with a Will Ospreay singles match on their biggest show ever. Against Jericho no less! Meanwhile the best singles wrestler on the planet and two former World Champions are in a meaningless thrown together 6 man. ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT NONSENSE. 2) three mystery men for Stadium Stampede is hilariously insane. I can't really think of 3 natural candidates for this. The only people who would get me excited for this that I can think of are Santana and Ortiz. You just know Khan will misread this and think we want a load of British wrestlers in there. I can imagine him getting Regal in, Davey Boy Smith Jr and bloody Nick Aldis! I'm less bothered by Ospreay though it sure isn't the match that I'd have put him in. I am astounded that they have Omega, White, Ibushi and Robinson all taken up with a tag match. Hell, give me Omega vs White if you have to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think we can argue about them being in some form of tag match. I’m increasingly convinced about Brits being the ones to take up the BCC slots outside of Danielson. Regal works for the WWE though currently, and I think Aldis has been working as a producer for them too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted August 17, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted August 17, 2023 That show was absolutely insane and I loved it! Decent opener with Wheeler and OC. I know he isn't announced for the show yet, but I would be shocked if he doesn't open the PPV. I thought the way the first hour was then used to set up matches for ALL In was well done. Kingston's reaction is going to be huge at Wembley. Madness they are going to do a stadium stampede but I am here for it. The Golden Elite is what Omega would have wanted for Wembley (and if you think they haven't picked their matches for Wembley, I don't know what to say) so I am on board with it. The skit with Cole and MJF was their best yet (I mean, it had Charlie in it), and their in ring segment afterwards was fantastic. The TCM Deathmatch was just a mess, but still better then a lot of those types of matches we see normally. Britt/Bunny was fine, of course we are getting Britt at All In (and i like the nods to the original event we saw tonight as well). Bucks and The Gunns was a fine way to close, a little rushed, but thought it was good. Weirdly this almost felt at times like the go home show, we still have another Dynamite and two more Collisions yet to go. But that All In card is looking mighty fine right about now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hardy’s came over as tag champs.  1 minute ago, Callum1993 said: Yeah I saw a house show in Cardiff in I think 2018? And he was definitely over here for that. Not sure if his legal troubles since though would prevent him from coming over now. His recent drink driving led to time served in addition to the usual probation, suspended license and fines. That should prevent him entering the country for a few years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Wasn’t he over here when he did that random walk out mid-match that lead to him leaving WWE. Has he been in trouble since then?  I’ve lost track at this point unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael_3165 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 (edited) What concerns me about... Spoiler Stadium Stampede is that we are going to be sitting there looking at screens for HALF AN HOUR and not be able to see anything happening live in front of us. That works on TV but when you've paid a fair whack for tickets, the last thing you want is to stare at screens for 30+ minutes. That said, at least we haven't got Summer Slam 1996 TVs situated around the ring! I'd have booked it as a no-DQ 6 man, much easier to follow and they could keep it in the ringside area.

Zack Sabre Jr makes sense as well, as he fits into the BCC style, and he's British, which will help. And if it is those two, I'd guess the third person would be Minoru Suzuki. Although that could be just me wanting to hear Wembley Stadium singing Kaze Ni Nare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyUK Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Crazy show, proper Attitude Era vibes in both a good way and a bad way in the case of the Texas Deathmatch. WTF was that? The first hour in particular was breathless with the Stadium Stampede announcement, the Omega and Jericho angles. That sort of thing is one of the positives of their late booking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ReturnOfTheMack Posted August 17, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted August 17, 2023 I may be alone in enjoying the Texas Chainsaw match. It was silky, but it knew it was. I loved it playing into the horror movie tropes the way it did. Spot on for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I actually like the idea but the production was dog shit, just a long time of not being able to see what was actually happening. Plus it needed more Cowboy Sonjay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TildeGuy~! Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Joker Sting at Wembley? Get in. I was worried a few weeks ago about the card but I’m getting to see all the stars now, so sod anyone who keeps complaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ReturnOfTheMack Posted August 17, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted August 17, 2023 (edited) Edit- replying to Merzbow. Yeah, exactly, like 90% of the horror films I saw in the 90s. 😆  Forgot, I was also laughing at Roddy Strongs bitchfit again. Edited August 17, 2023 by ReturnOfTheMack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
