Whatā€™s Keir Starmer got to do with any of that?

Iā€™ll give you the benefit of the doubt, since youā€™re new. The UKFF is a welcoming place, in my experience - but youā€™ll get rinsed for a bad post, as youā€™ve just discovered. If you use slurs on this forum, as you have here, youā€™ll also find yourself getting banned. Iā€™m going to assume you didnā€™t realise that the r word was a slur, now you do, so you can avoid using it going forward.

As I said, the UKFF is a welcoming place and the vast majority of people here will forgive a fuck up, which this was.Ā 

So welcome to the forum, but learn from your mistakes.

Has it been reported anywhere what the hell happened with Pac leading into this show? Won a shot at the International Title, immediately calling for a, ā€œWembley moment,ā€ after missing the show last year. And then proceeded to do fuck all, with no direction, as MJF and Ospreay built a feud around that very belt.

Is he injured? Has something fallen through because of the Lucha Brothers jumping ship? Whole thing feels like such a weird dead end.

At this point, they might as well just make his big Wembley moment winning the Casino Gauntlet.

The closer we get to the show, the more the Gauntlet is becoming my most exciting match. Itā€™s got the potential to be bloody brilliant. Theyā€™ve nailed the format. Their own version of the Royal Rumble, only better. And to finally have it on pay per view, so itā€™s not hindered by ad breaks and TV time remaining? Cannot wait. I hope they go fucking mental with it. Mad entrants. Crazy spots. Roderick Strong pacing backstage, never quite making it.

In my head, itā€™s got the potential to be Match of the year. Send Hologram out as number one, followed by a debuting Ricochet. Bring Danny Garcia back, signing his new contract on the way to the ring. Marko Stuntā€™s ghost. How long does it take to heal from an injured ankle? Could Copeland do one of his classic Royal Rumble returns? And how longā€™s Moxley been out for now? Bring him back, motivated, finally rocking the holiday tan, three years in the making.

Plus, of course. Now that, ā€œLike a Prayer,ā€ is bigger than ever after Deadpool and Wolverine? Proving Madonna is more willing than ever to licence it?Ā From the tap end of Stevenston! Tell me the Casino Gauntlet wouldnā€™t be the perfect place for the UKFFā€™s own, Grado!

I think the working plan was for Death Triangle to challenge for (and probably win) the Trios Titles, but the expectation within the industry is that Penta and Fenix are WWE-bound when their contracts expire shortly so that appears to be off.Ā 

I do hope PAC gets a decent match/moment since he missed the show last year and, you know, almost died and stuff.Ā

Singles wise there's been plenty of reshuffling. The recent rumour is that it was settled on Death Triangle for the Trios title. Something that also needed some reshuffling with Jay White getting injured and then the Lucha Bros one foot out the door.

Casino Gauntlet does look to be the catch-all to get the men on the show that don't have anything planned. OC v. KOR v. Strong this week on Dynamite to set-up the 1st entrant.

Iā€™d be absolutely gutted if PAC didnā€™t make the show. Heā€™s my favourite and itā€™s so weird how theyā€™ve just dropped him for this rubbish MJF American title thing. Casino Gauntlet seems like the only place heā€™d fit on the card now which is a real shame.

I don't think there's any way PAC doesn't make the show in some form or fashion if he's fit and healthy. You might be right about the Casino Gauntlet, which could be a good showcase for him.Ā

Did he? What happened there?

I don't know all the details, but there was a serious health situation that prevented him from being on All In last year. He was out of action for about eight months or so, all told.Ā 

I don't want to say more, as PAC's a very private person and it wasn't publicised (Tony Khan offhandedly referred to it as 'internal injuries'), but it was genuinely very serious and when he alluded to 'almost popping his clogs' in promos hyping his return earlier this year he wasn't lying.Ā

Dumping out a furious Hangman last, kicking off a mini-feud, please.

And giving Hangman more anger and reason to cost Swerve the title in the main event.

I've just read on Facebook apparently there's tickets on sale on some website for Ā£9 which if that's true that's shocking and won't be shocking to be the last one from aew over here unless they go for a smaller venue if there flogging tickets that cheap to try and get rid and sell it out as much as possible there surely going to lose astronomical amounts even factoring in merch sales and such.

Fairly sad if it's the caseĀ

I believe they're for NHS staff.Ā 

What would you rather they have, a load of empty seats or fill those seats at Ā£9 a pop.

It's fairly standard practice which most musical acts do as well.Ā
