He was on the radio before.” Yeah, there was pretty substantial coverage of it on Radio 1, although the line Newsbeat took was "there's wrestling in town...and it's not WWE" Having said that, the overall coverage was good and Will Ospreay - who they interviewed - is a really good ambassador for the company in settings like that. It's great coverage for them, and I'm sure we'll see more of it as the week goes on. Quote

Has anyone been on BBC Breakfast or Good Morning Britain and asked about Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks yet? Quote

WyattSheepMask Posted August 27 Posted August 27 Wembley Stadium has its curfew listed as 10:30pm for Sunday concerts, so it’s not going any longer than 4hrs 30. So 4hrs 29minutes Quote

Doog Posted August 27 Posted August 27 Weather forecast seems to be getting progressively worse for this so thatll be fun in the stands. Was no rain at the start of the week now saying potential heavy rain and thunder. Quote
The King of Old School Posted August 27 Posted August 27 19 hours ago, RedTwoster said: but AEW has been so good as of late that I'm even looking forward to the trios title match. Fair play to them for that, I'd have ditched the division a long time ago if I were Tony Khan, but they've salvaged it. Has a Trio's Title match been announced yet? Quote

Doors open at 3ish so probably 2nd match already going on when you walk in Doors are 3.30pm, pre-show will start at 4.30. I imagine the first actual match will be 5pm, though depends on what is actually happening on the pre-show - I assume the United Empire lads get a multi-man on there somewhere. 2 minutes ago, The King of Old School said: Has a Trio's Title match been announced yet? Sort of. It's an open challenge of Hangman Page & Brodido vs. however many teams answer the call, with the implication so far that it will be against The Demand, The Bang Bang Gang, The Dogs, and Swerve and whoever he brings in to team with him, with the Death Riders, The Conglomeration and The Lethal Twist knocking about it as well. I'm surprised they haven't said it's a ladder match, as I assume it will be one - how else are they going to do a match with more than four teams? Quote
Paid Members Supremo Posted August 27 Paid Members Posted August 27 Mick Foleys lands in the UK and immediately transforms into that The United Strand lad from social media. “Day six hundred and twenty nine of not cutting my hair until I can stop being a cheap, pervy bastard for five days in a row…” Maybe a cheeky appearance in the Casino Gauntlet for Mick? Easy pop. No bumps required. Quote
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted August 27 Paid Members Posted August 27 Odds on the Bucks/C&C match being completely ruined by the fans singing that shitty "hey Christian, will you be my dad"? My guess is high. Quote
Members SuperBacon Posted August 27 Members Posted August 27 Are there any smaller shows in London on Saturday? I'm there for Spurs so wanted to see if I could make a show while I'm around. Quote

It's a ludicrous number. I wish they'd just focused on the Swerve vs. Hangman & Brodido feud, treating it a bit like Rollins vs Cody at Wrestlemania. The big moment, assuming this is what they're doing, is the New Day coming out as Swerve's partners, you just dilute things if you run a multi, multi, multi, multi-team match and potentially make the match less good. If it's simply those two teams, you have arguably their most significant ever trios title match. You have the New Day arriving, and then the magical moment where Hangman and Swerve lock up one more time. Quote

There is Mystery Wrestling at 1pm in Walthemstow, whether there is tickets I'm not sure. On the friday night EVE have a show at the same venue. Quote
Paid Members BomberPat Posted August 27 Paid Members Posted August 27 I still think the right move would be for the New Day to debut as a surprise after Young Bucks vs. Cage & Cope; the dream match is out of the way, the Bucks have (presumably) won, and the next question is what's next for them - after a moment to consider that, reveal that the answer is another dream match down the road. The Trios ladder match at All In 2024 had four teams, so I may be overthinking how many end up in it. But the set up so far has been: - The Dogs (Trio 1) attack Jay White after a match with Jon Moxley - Mox getting out of there and wanting no part of makes me think the Death Riders probably aren't in the match - The Conglomeration (Trio 2) make the save - Hangman & Brodido (Trio 3) run out, cut the open challenge promo - The Demand (Trio 4) cut a promo, supported by The Lethal Twist (Trio 5) - Swerve Strickland cuts a promo, teasing challenging for the belts (Trio 6) - (Jay White and the rest of the Bang Bang Gang could also be Trio 7) So even if we assume that Lethal Twist aren't in, and are just there to be stooges for The Demand, then it's still at least 5 Trios, which is one too many to work a standard multi-team match, and it would need a gimmick, and I assume a ladder match like the last time they did All In at Wembley. It's possible either the Conglomeration or The Dogs end up not in the match at all, but it's weird to have them in the mix and then back down on it. They're in the country, so presumably if they're not in the Trios Title match, a big clusterfuck tag gets added to the card or the pre-show with them in it, or else they're all in the Gauntlet. Quote
