Posted April 3 6 minutes ago, BowserBasher said: Anyone else watch WrestleMania. Possibly one of the best in recent years even with a couple of wrong depictions in my opinion. Night 1 was the better night. Someone compared it to Night 1 run under Trips, Night 2 under Vince. Wasn't a bad show overall, like you said, there were some definite wrong results. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's more that the two brands will be run under the Endeavour company, from that I've read anyway. As of now it seems that its business as normal and no major changes to how things are being run though. Yeah I did think about writing it a different way but that was how the article I read described it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 7 Sometimes you just need some silly moments in wrestling. Case in point Sami Zayn vs Johnny Knoxville at last years WrestleMania. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 5 I agree. Wrestling needs stories and variety. Great wrestling is important of course, but seeing just great wrestling matches with no story one after another gets a little stale. Some light-hearted was sprinkled in can help and provide amusement, when done right of course (and wrestling of course has more than it’s fair share of cringe over funny moments). I thought Wrestlemania was a really fun weekend. Night 1 was so much better overall than night 2, which had some good matches, whereas Night 1 had solid and fun matches and stories throughout I thought. I’m now very jealous of my sister, who has just secured tickets to AEW at Wembley in August. I fully expect them to go all out (excuse the pun) on making their first stadium ppv an exciting event. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't follow AEW nor cold I get into it, but seeing the numbers coming out for the show is great news for wrestling. They are reportedly up to 70,000 tickets sold for the event now, and it's looking like it could pass SummerSlam 92 attendance. WWE is doing great numbers all around too, the European tour has been rely much sell out shows each day and this the Smackdown and Backlash in Puerto Rico have been sell outs too. This is a great time for wrestling and I hope the AEW show in Wembley will show WWE that it can be done there again and people will sell it out. They just need to not price it like Clash at the Castle, as those prices were terrible. AEW seems to be like a couple hundred max, not including special tickets. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 25 Sad news on both accounts but Wyatt’s kinda hit harder. I had read that he had been cleared and was due to make a return soon. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 27 I see that CM Punk crawled back to the WWE. I knew this would happen eventually. The guy has no integrity and is all about the money, despite what he says. I don't watch it anymore but I'll be keeping an eye out to see if he causes any issues like he did over at AEW. Apparently there are already a few wrestlers that aren't happy he's been signed back up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 27 I think they're crazy to have him back. Things seem to finally be calming down again there with Vince being pushed out of creative and they bring in someone like Punk who will always only cause trouble. You get all these people going on about its all about the business but the fact is with their shitty Saudi deal they don't need it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 27 I'll give WWE credit for keeping Punk coming back pretty quiet. But looking at his recent AEW run, he caused a lot of issues with talent there. To the point he had to have a separate show created just for him and those willing to work with him on his last run. There are certainly talent and backstage personnel not happy to see Punk back on the roster, we know Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre are two such talents who have issues with CM Punk, and no doubt there's plenty of others. Will be interesting to see how things pan out over the weeks and months. Hopefully WWE can keep Punk under control, i'm guessing he's on a "one last chance" kind of deal. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 27 I didn’t need to see him back, in fact I’ve never seen the appeal of him. Always seemed like another standard guy to me. Nothing really stood out. Half of it was probably for the Chicago pop to have him return there. It will be interesting to see what happens though. I’ve seen people say WWE will be better equipped to keep him under control. Maybe they’ve told him one mistake and you’re gone. Either way I couldn’t care less what happens to him. At least the programming is going great. The Survivor Series War Games matches were fun and had a lot of stories interwoven in them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted Saturday at 12:29 PM I think CM Punk returning to WWE when he did was like how Brock Lesnar basically did the same thing back in 2012. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
