No idea where this leaves Ambrose though. Although it's obviously just an idea haha and this is taking into account that Rollins is gonna get a face like pop, almost attitude era-style, on his return!
Posted by: richie 15th April 2016, 07:19 AM
I like your thinking - turning Reigns heel is the only way he'll be able to get over with the fans (just like The Rock eventually did after a shaky start as Rocky Maivia) and a double turn with Rollins going face would work really well. Ambrose would then become the basis of a "which way will he go" storyline that can play up until Summerslam when, on the night, he shows which side he's chosen (and will probably attack both of them!)
Posted by: Hazza Chapman 15th April 2016, 12:12 PM
Roman Reigns is already on his way to being a full heel. Since defeating Triple H he's started saying "I'm not a good guy, I'm not a bad guy, I'm THE guy" every week and he fought side by side with Bray Wyatt who is traditionally one of the top heels in the company. He must be a tweener at the moment though cause he's still wrestling heels like the League Of Nations.
Posted by: richie 18th April 2016, 07:33 AM
Jeez, as long as they aren't turning Bray Wyatt face!
Posted by: Simon. 18th April 2016, 11:17 AM
Has to recover from injury first 
Posted by: Rob S 18th April 2016, 11:46 AM
yeah I hope they don't turn Bray completely face, it really doesn't go with his character. Saying that though being a tweener won't harm him I don't think!

Chyna has died.
I'm actually really gutted, I know she's had a lot of problems in the past couple of years but I remember how much I enjoyed her wrestling matches when I was growing up and whether WWE will admit it or not she was one of their biggest ever stars, It's just a shame that everything went wrong due to Paul (Triple H) having an affair with Steph which then ended up with Chyna being a pornstar.
Chyna changed WWE and the term "diva" as she became IC champion and entered on numerous royal rumbles

Whaaaaat????? OMFG!
Posted by: roba 21st April 2016, 08:27 AM
Can't say I'm really that shocked when bearing in mind her life in the last 10 years. Stilllllll I just hope Sunny won't be next :/
Posted by: Simon. 21st April 2016, 09:25 AM
Absolutely devastated 
Posted by: Jonjo 21st April 2016, 02:41 PM
It's hit me so hard! Hardest WWE related death so far for me. she truly pioneered wrestling for women and paved a way for women in sports in general.

Happy Birthday to John Cena who's 39 today 
seriously can't believe he's going to be 40 next year. Doesn't look that old at all, more like 33/34!
Posted by: richie 25th April 2016, 08:05 AM
Ha! So, John Cena is a month younger than me. Definitely think I'm looking best for it 
Posted by: Viper* 26th April 2016, 12:22 AM
I feel like I couldn't care less about Roman vs AJ Styles at payback. Such a DUD of a title match.
More excited about KO Vs Sami! 
Finn Balor tonight? 
Posted by: LushLife 26th April 2016, 03:44 AM
I actually can't even at the current state of the women division again.
I don't get why we need to have one feud instead of two? I know the current plans were Becky Lynch v Emma but that seems to have forgotten about, I seriously hope that Natalya becomes women champion for a month / two, I really think she deserved to receive one final push because I doubt she'll be this relevant for a while which is a great shame because she's the best technical diva performer.
I'm frustrated for both Paige & Sasha Banks, I mean why are these two not feuding? They put on some incredible matches on Raw but WWE seem to want to save Sasha winning the title until Summerslam and Paige just seems to be forgotten about which is a massive shame.
Posted by: Jonjo 26th April 2016, 06:21 AM
They actually gave her a tribute. Wow. It's a shame they weren't there for her before and actually fixed the bridge. But still a classy move on WWE's behalf.
Posted by: Rob S 5th May 2016, 12:14 PM
Bobby Heenan has been hospitalised after taking a fall. I don't wanna sound morbid or pessimistic but given the rate of well known people passing this year I'd not be surprised if something like this then leads to 'Bobby Heenan passes away at 71' I really hope I'm wrong. Really need a break from too many deaths as it is.
I was watching Eva Marie vs Bayley the other day and it's a shame fans are booing because she really can't wrestle but I do find her quite attractive 
I'll give her more of a chance though. Having that Jax girl might be the best thing to help her get over a bit more!
Posted by: Hazza Chapman 5th May 2016, 06:25 PM
It's sad that whenever I see that a new post has been made here my first thought is "who died in WWE now?"
Posted by: Jonjo 5th May 2016, 07:10 PM
Eva is awful. But I HATE the treatment of her by WWE fans.
She was only ever hired as someone to use for 'Total Divas'. Nothing else. She herself went to Triple H/Vince and said, "I want to learn how to wrestle". She's trained really hard and I understand that she most certainly isn't ready yet (not even for NXT), but I really admire that she is really wanting to learn and improve in the ring. People have to remember that, prior to signing with WWE, divas and superstars have years and YEARS of underground training/matches etc... Eva's had what, 2/3? I agree that it's WWE's fault to put her on TV so soon, but with all that in consideration, what is she to do? She's there to make money and she'd be a fool not to do it!
I'm really intrigued by her journey and to see how far she can actually go in the company. Because I find her watchable (despite being terrible) and she is ridiculously marketable (also, I've read numerous reports that say she is a genuine and sweet person in reality).
ATM, the problem she has is that in her matches, there's no desire or passion and everything just comes off as half-arsed and sloppy. If she can work on that, I really think she'll at least become "ok" in the near future! But WWE fans should NOT be putting her down so much for at least trying, because what message is that giving out to their young fans?
Posted by: Hazza Chapman 6th May 2016, 07:24 PM
Damien Sandow, King Barrett, Santino Marella, Cameron, Hornswoggle, Alex Riley, El Torito and Zeb Colter have all been released from WWE today.
This post from Cameron might have had something to do with her being released: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sol8np

Looks like there's a new WWE couple in town.... Paige and erm ... Del Rio 
I swear my eyes are seeing things 
Very unusual pair if true. The Disney pics of Del Rio kissing paige look creepy as anything lmao. Also isn't Alberto married with kids? Lol if true I guess I am happy for them but this is just so so random haha!

Cody Rhodes has been released from WWE
Posted by: richie 23rd May 2016, 01:13 PM
He says he quit. Possibly for his own good but there aren't many big alternatives out there to go and join. Probably realised he'll not have his Dad's influence behind the scenes any more too.
I'm guessing Dustin won't be hanging around either.
Posted by: Hazza Chapman 23rd May 2016, 01:38 PM
Seth Rollins is back! 
Posted by: bigwiglaf 28th May 2016, 08:33 PM
Just been reading online that Smack Down will be moving to Tuesday nights starting 19 July, and will be a live show just as Raw is, and will have it's own distinctive line up....wonder if this means there'll be a 'world champion' for the Smack Down brand....
Posted by: Jonjo 30th May 2016, 03:27 PM
Yep. Split brands is coming back! I'm all for it. It'll make for some really interesting feuds and hopefully, with Smackdown going live, it'll make SD a big deal again. I remember when I was younger, I was a bigger fan of SD than I ever was RAW!
Posted by: Hazza Chapman 16th June 2016, 05:33 PM
This interview makes me laugh 
"Drink it in maaaaaaaaan"
Posted by: RobS 20th June 2016, 03:34 AM
Ambrose champion. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssssss 
Posted by: Jonjo 20th June 2016, 06:27 AM
I'm SO ecstatic about this. Absolutely amazing. It kinda makes sense, considering the brand split is soon and we didn't get two MITB matches. So I guess they had to have it make sense for such a small time frame and to avoid confusion by the time the split happens.
Posted by: RobS 21st June 2016, 08:23 PM
Im not a bad guy im not a good guy im not even THE guy i'm actually the guy who just got his ass suspended!
Ie Roman has been suspended by WWE
Also I'm really feeling for Becky keep getting inserted in feuds where she keeps getting beat up by another female wrestler i am looking forward to her feud with HEEL Natalya tho *.* and pleased Sasha is back. Make her champ now
Posted by: richie 22nd June 2016, 01:58 PM
Could be a good way for him to turn heel - "don't say your prayers, don't take your vitamins, do steroids, be world champion" etc.
Posted by: Jonjo 22nd June 2016, 07:15 PM
Minority I know, but I am LOVING the way they're going with Becky's character. She's someone who REALLY benefits from being an "under dog" and it just makes you warm so much more to her. I'm also thinking taking Sasha off of TV has not only helped Sasha out even more, but it has also helped Becky, Charlotte & Dana (and even Natalya!) too.
The women's division is the strongest it's been in well over a decade now and that's even without the likes of Bayley, Asuka, Alexa Bliss etc.. being on the main roster.
Posted by: RobS 23rd June 2016, 08:49 PM
Agreed about the womens division being at it's strongest rn Jon. However there's something irking me about Dana. I dunno she just seems too amateur and sloppy in the ring. I guess putting her with Charlotte is a good thing but she needs a bit more help on being a better wrestler imo.
Anyway as part of the draft WWE are looking at signing former WWE wrestlers to a 2-3 year contract to even out the rosters. Some of the names being contacted include Carlito, MVP, Goldberg, Rey Mysterio ( :roleeyes: ) Jeff Hardy, Stevie Richards & Kurt Angle!
I really wanna see John Morrison & Shelton Benjamin back
Posted by: bigwiglaf 24th June 2016, 05:14 AM
Apparently, from what I've read elsewhere, Rey Mysterio WILL be returning to the WWE roster after his Lucha Underground contract is up, sometime in the next 6-12 months....
Posted by: RobS 24th June 2016, 10:18 AM
I really am so bored of Mysterio. He's gotten really boring with age for me. I guess a Rollins v Mysterio or Zayn v Mysterio could potentially be great though but only if Rey was like he was in 2003/04
Posted by: Jonjo 28th June 2016, 12:02 PM
Sasha & Paige *.* *.* *.*
Absence really does make the heart grow fonder. Sasha's absence has made the WWE Universe miss her and she gets such a huge pop, especially last week! Paige keeps on getting great pops too! Looking forward to seeing these two feud once Sasha gets the belt.
Posted by: Hazza Chapman 12th July 2016, 03:41 AM
I don't know if any of you have seen this and I know that it's not WWE but take a look at this. It's probably the weirdest wrestling match I've ever seen.
Posted by: SevenSeize 12th July 2016, 02:28 PM
BROTHAAA NEROOOOO, IT'S OVAH!
that whole segment is pure mad genius, love it <3
Posted by: Jonjo 13th July 2016, 11:07 PM
One year ago today, marks the anniversary of the Divas Revolution...
I have no qualms in saying that it is my favourite RAW moment in years and years. Everything about it is perfect and although it was a bumpy middle, the divas revolution has been INSANE. They've gone from "Divas" to "Superstars". No more "Divas Championship". They've stolen the show on numerous occasions and most importantly, imo, the grandest stage of them all 'Wrestlemania 32'! One of my favourite matches of this year, if not my favourite. Sasha, Charlotte & especially Becky should be so proud of how far they've come and what they've done for the women's division. They've put the women talent on NOTICE in the WWE. Amazing. Even getting storylines outside of the Women's Championship. It's really incredible what they've achieved in the last year.
Posted by: Roba S 25th July 2016, 10:46 AM
^ and now Bayley makes her main event debut teaming with Sasha *.* looking forward to seeing how they use her... If this isn't a one off for now.
I'd imagine they'll put the title on Sasha she'll feud with Charlotte, Nia Jax & eventually turn heel and lose to Bayley months later!
Posted by: Hazza Chapman 26th July 2016, 02:26 AM
Sasha Banks is the new WWE Women's Champion after defeating Charlotte in a really good match, it is the best women's match I've seen since the triple threat match at WrestleMania earlier this year.
Posted by: Jonjo 26th July 2016, 05:45 AM
So happy for her. It's about time. She deserves it so much and I'm so excited to see the feuds she has!
Posted by: Roba S 26th July 2016, 10:19 AM
Finn Balor vs Seth for the new title at Summerslam, beating Reigns too (he's definitely getting punished haha)
Shaping up to potentially be a fantastic event with Lesnar v Orton too.
Yasss at Sasha being champ too
Posted by: Jonjo 26th July 2016, 03:42 PM
Nah Bálor was always expectes to be given a massive push once he got called up. I can see him losing to Rollins and feuding with him for a while over it! Before winning it at Survivor Series or something.
Posted by: Roba S 27th July 2016, 12:05 PM
Shelton Benjamin returning *.* and Rhyno back on the smack down roster... feeling a tiny reminiscent of the old days aka 2003/04!
Interesting that Dolph will face Ambrose now. I sense one of them are going to turn heel.. Most likely Ziggler which is probably needed as I've gotten bored of babyface Dolph now. Might make him more serious now being chucked into the title picture and turning heel personally.
Posted by: Hazza Chapman 27th July 2016, 03:36 PM
I just had a look on Wikipedia at the list of matches for Summerslam and this is what I saw 
Posted by: Rob S 2nd August 2016, 11:19 PM
OMG it's the end of the world...... Reigns pushed down to mid card position total Cena treatment cause of the failed violation thingy.
Was there any point in bringing Jinder mahal back to the roster. No one cares about him 
Posted by: Jonjo 2nd August 2016, 11:39 PM
I think it's so they can get ready to create a tag team with his brother (or cousin? - the one who was in the Cruiserweight thing)
Nah. I think it's just Vince has realised that the fans don't want Reigns in the main title picture as I believe Vince is high on Seth and Finn right now. I'm surprised they're pushing for him straight into another title feud though. I'm happy though. I like Reigns and I really hope he turns completely heel very soon! He has the look and imo, the beard makes him look even more badass!
Posted by: Rob S 6th August 2016, 06:12 PM
Ryback is gone from WWE today.
"Jon let's out a huge yaaaaaassss" 
Posted by: Jonjo 22nd August 2016, 02:46 PM
So Sasha loses her title due to minor injuries, but gets injured in a huge way during the show. I fear for her career at this point
Also, the Universal Title is DISGUSTING (Finn sustained an injury last night too, WTH!?) and, do we think Brock knows the difference between UFC and WWE? :/ Orton had 10 staples in his head last night. He is so wreckless and ruins things for me. The sooner WWE invest his money in some other talent the better.
Posted by: travis 22nd August 2016, 03:26 PM
So glad my Fearless Queen Nikki is back in action!!! But also #Justice4EvaMarie
Posted by: Jonjo 22nd August 2016, 03:33 PM
Eva Marie is so unique. Its refreshing to see someone like her in WWE and literally start from scratch. It's a huge shame about her suspension because I actually enjoyed what they were doing with her character. I can't help but really want her to succeed. She just needs to learn how to smoothen her moveset and executions.
Nikki coming straight back in as a heel? Hopefully to give us a feud with Becky! I think the womens matches and rivalries are gonna top those on RAW, despite RAW having a stronger playing field. I'm excited.

Need to catch up with RAW but great to see Owens is now champ!
Posted by: leewallace 30th August 2016, 03:19 PM
I'm enjoying that the brand split is allowing more superstars the chance to front WWE. I never would have expected Kevin Owens to win (which was the correct choice).
I'm enjoying the divas division more on Smackdown which surprises me, I'm finding myself rooting for Alexa Bliss right now although I'm wanting Nikki Bella to front divas division as I'm not a massive fan of Becky Lynch.
Posted by: richie 31st August 2016, 01:50 PM
aged 82.Ah, a legend has gone. Always loved it when he made a rare tag appearance as a manager in the late 80s. Was always surprising how decent he was...but then he was still the tag champ just a few years earlier with Mr Saito.
Posted by: Houdini 3rd September 2016, 10:54 AM
Alberto Del Rio has left WWE again. Paige will possibly leave as well as she's hardly being used at the moment and I think she got suspended as well just like Alberto Del Rio did.
Posted by: Jonjo 3rd September 2016, 08:27 PM
Rumour has it, WWE threatened to fire Paige unless she split up with Del Rio!!
That seems a bit too extreme and I think it's more that Triple H probably gave her advice and told her to steer clear from ADR, more than "if you don't split up with him, we'll fire you".
Posted by: Rob S 3rd September 2016, 08:36 PM
Isn't Del Rio married anyway? 
that's wrong on his part if so to be dating someone else unless they are divorced.
I still find it a bit iffy that Alberto & Paige are a couple considering the age gap and sheer fact that they seem like polar opposites in terms of having a connection in similar interests. I do feel WWE is being a bit moronic threatening Paige to possibly be fired though. That's a bit uncalled for. I'd hate for Paige to leave when she's still so young & in the prime of her career not forgetting one of the best female wrestlers of this decades women's division...

Sasha v Charlotte main eventing Hell In A Cell *.* this is amazing news. I know we've discussed it on Facebook but thought it'd be worth bumping the thread to mention haha!

Apparently they might not be main eventing (as in last match) after all. They're gonna joint main event it I think.

Goldberg vs Brock Lesnar rematch is going to take place, it might possibly be at Survivor Series.
Posted by: Houdini 21st November 2016, 01:49 PM
That was absolutely ridiculous the way Goldberg squashed Brock Lesnar in less than 3 minutes at Survivor Series! For me the best match was the elimination match between the tag teams of Raw & Smackdown.
Posted by: Jonjo 21st November 2016, 05:39 PM
That escalated quickly!
Posted by: bigwiglaf 22nd November 2016, 07:04 AM
Goldberg's declared his entry into the Royal Rumble match for 2017...Stephanie McMahon dangled the championship carrot in front of him, and he decided to go for it...
Posted by: Rob S~ 11th January 2017, 12:07 PM
Alexa v Becky in a steel cage next week *.*
Upping the anti a bit with the woman's division lately!
Also the rumble should be brilliant this year with Goldberg, Lesnar AND The Undertaker in it
Posted by: Jonjo 11th January 2017, 12:30 PM
For the first time in years, I can't call a winner! Which makes it 10x more interesting! So excited for it this year! I have favourites and people who I think will win, but can't pick a sole winner.
I'd love Jericho to do it, coz it's one of the only things he hasnt quite managed yet and I kinda wanna see them set up Jerichi vs Owens for Universal Title! When Jericho wins that title, he'll be the only superstar to have held every single WWE title! Impressive!
Posted by: Houdini 11th January 2017, 11:29 PM
The Undertaker is the bookmakers favourite to win the Royal Rumble but I don't think he'll win it. I think Braun Strowman might have a good chance of winning the rumble if Roman Reigns will be the defending Universal champion at WrestleMania.
Posted by: jase. 12th January 2017, 02:11 AM
I think they'll set up a Strowman/Taker WM match in the Rumble so I can't see Taker winning it.
I think Jericho/Owens is a lock for WM.
Reigns is gonna win the title at the Rumble and defend it in a Triple Threat at Mania with Goldberg (who WILL win the Rumble) and Lesnar. Vince is a stubborn bast*rd and he's going to continue shoving Reigns down out throats whether we like it or not.
Posted by: richie 12th January 2017, 08:44 AM
Is The Undertaker retiring at the next Wrestlemania? If so, shouldn't they give him somebody better to work with than Vince McMahon's latest "big guy"? That said, Triple H will probably fancy being in one of the key matches so might get himself booked in against him.
Posted by: Jonjo 12th January 2017, 10:54 AM
I reckon if Taker wins the rumble it'll be Cena vs. AJ vs. Taker. However, if Taker doesn't win and Cena loses against AJ, it'll be Cena vs. Taker, I think.
Posted by: richie 12th January 2017, 11:17 AM
Cena vs Undertaker would be fitting for Wrestlemania. It'd also take Cena out of the title picture which would probably please a lot of people 
Posted by: Houdini 12th January 2017, 12:34 PM
Triple H is highly likely to face Seth Rollins at WrestleMania instead so I guess this would rule Seth Rollins out of winning the Royal Rumble.

Posted by: richie 17th January 2017, 09:07 AM
I saw that on Twitter this morning. Are they trying to induct people who are still active in order to get younger fans to watch the ceremony? Can't understand why he would get in before Rick Rude, Mike Rotunda, The British Bulldogs or Demolition.

I just checked William Hill and Randy Orton is the 1/20 favourite to win the Royal Rumble
Posted by: Houdini 30th January 2017, 03:50 AM
William Hill were right, Randy Orton is the Royal Rumble winner!
I would never have guessed that he would win it, he's the wrong person to win it in my opinion. The only possible story that can happen now is Bray Wyatt winning the Elimination Chamber match and defending the WWE title against Orton at WrestleMania. It's either that or Orton vs Cena for the 10000000000th time
Posted by: Rob S~ 30th January 2017, 12:25 PM
The Cena & Styles was literally PHENOMENAL. Say what you want about Cena etc but when he works with the likes of AJ & Kevin Owens they always bring the best out of him. Ugh at him tying Flairs record but it was inevitably going to happen someday!
The rumble was great but not amazing like last year's. The lack of any surprise legends or anything was really poor. They could have at least put 2 legends in as well as Samoa Joe over the likes of Enzo, Roman & James Elsworth then again despite Vince forcing Roman down everyone's throats and eliminating Taker.... It could all be ok i guess If they run with Reigns v undertaker at Wrestlemania and now finally use their brain and turn Roman into a brutal bad ass Heel!
As for Orton winning, well obviously it's a bit of a "really???" Type reaction but I guess Wyatt winning the title in the EC would be perfect and then retain at Wrestlemania to finally put him over.
Cena v Orton if that happens then Vince really needs to retire from the storyline stuff. No one wants that match EVERRRRR again :/

Last year's Royal Rumble was ok but I'm wracking my brains to remember a really good one in the past 15 years or so. It's one of the only things I make a habit of watching every year, that and some of Wrestlemania, but I might not bother from now on.
Some wrestlers were lying around on the floor for about 8 minutes while they set up all the Wrestlemania stories for the old farts who only want to work for 3 minutes at pay per view rate as Lesnar, Goldberg and Undertaker all miraculously "picked" high numbers right next to each other. I used to hate it when somebody came in and cleared the ring so there were only two people left, but at least that was a bit more realistic.
Of course it's all planned out, but it's not really a match any more just an hour of obvious and disappointing set-pieces.
Posted by: Houdini 31st January 2017, 02:58 PM
The pace of the Royal Rumble was too slow, eliminations were stretched out too much. It was so obvious that a Goldberg eliminates Lesnar/Lesnar eliminates Goldberg scenario was going to happen just so that they can set up the rematch at WrestleMania. The confrontations between Braun Strowman & Big Show over recent weeks on Raw made it obvious that Braun Strowman would eliminate the Big Show as well.
Where does all of this leave Chris Jericho? he could have feuded with Kevin Owens for the Universal title at WrestleMania but now it looks like he wont have any plans for that event and is now going to probably lose the U.S title to Sami Zayn.
Posted by: Rob S~ 1st February 2017, 05:23 PM
Matches for Wrestlemania thrown about...
Owens v Jericho
Goldberg v Lesnar for the Universal Title
Big Show v Shaquelle O Neil
Orton v Wyatt for the WWE World Title
Charlotte v Nia Jax v Bayley v Sasha Banks
The Undertaker v Roman Reigns
& AJ Styles v Shane Mchanon
I'd imagine Cena will face Cor bin, Sheamus v Cesaro, Alexa Bliss v Becky v Naomi v Nikki v Natalya v Mickie James in a 6 women elimination match for the title. Ambrose v Miz v Ziggler v Kalisto v Crews v Harper in a ladder match for the IC title.
The Andre the Giant Battle Royal.
Obviously Rollins v Triple H is garunteed. No idea what Strowman & Samoa Joe will do yet.
Posted by: Rob S~ 8th February 2017, 02:30 AM
Elimination Chamber shaping up to be brilliant...
World Title EC match
Tag Team Title Turmoil
Dolph Ziggler v Kalisto & Apollo Crews
Natalya v Nikki Bella
Becky Lynch v Mickie James
Women's championship Alexa Bliss v Naomi
& i think Orton v Harper will happen too.
Posted by: Jonjo 8th February 2017, 03:00 AM
3 Women's matches?? *.*
Posted by: Rob S~ 8th February 2017, 04:38 PM
Yup *.*

Chavo Guerrero has passed away
Edit it's Sr not Eddies nephew Chavo. Still sad anyway. Good memories of them both against Eddie at the Rumble in 2004!
Posted by: Rob S~ 13th February 2017, 04:10 AM
Wow that chamber match was incredible
& I'm digging the thought of Orton V Wyatt for the title too. I think we can add Ambrose v Corbin for the Intercontinental Title potentially!
Posted by: Jonjo 13th February 2017, 08:10 AM
Ambrose vs Corbin will be an interesting feud!
Not seen any of chamber yet, but I know most the winners. Wasn't expecting Naomi to win tbh. Not sure how I feel about her being champ, but she's a great girl, so I'm pleased for her. Alexa's run was shorter than it deserved to be though. But I can see her winning it back in time for Mania and maybe being thrown into a feud with a returning Tamina! (Who has been cleared to return from injury and is apparently heading to Smackdown as a face!)
The seeds have been planted for the Miz/Maryse vs Cena/Nikki match at Wrestlemania 
Posted by: troylovesmusic 13th February 2017, 03:19 PM
I'm so happy for Naomi FINALLY winning the Women's title she's been long overdue for a title reign and the fact she will most likely be going in to Wrestlemania in her Hometown as Champion makes it even better ! I'm happy for Bray winning the WWE title as well both wins are so deserved Smackdown really is turning in to the Land of Opportunity .
Posted by: Rob S~ 17th February 2017, 01:03 PM
Vader deleted a tweet yesterday saying he is apparently 'in his last few days'. Obviously because of his heart problems shame it looks like it's clearly going to be sooner than expected!
Posted by: bigwiglaf 18th February 2017, 10:41 PM
Sad indeed about Vader on his imminent demise, on top of the news on the passing of both George Steele a couple of days ago at age 79, and Ivan Koloff passing today, 2/18/2017 at age 74 from cancer.
Posted by: jase. 18th February 2017, 11:19 PM
Nicole Bass has also passed away. What a brutal year so far for wrestling-related deaths
Posted by: Rob S~ 18th February 2017, 11:26 PM
Yeah I heard that they made a mistake with pronouncing her as dead however she's still declared "Brain dead" & will be taken off life support soon today supposedly.
Hopefully Vader is the last wrestler related one for a while!
Posted by: Rob S~ 18th February 2017, 11:30 PM
Basically another May Young situation. Wish they'd stop messing around this is critical!
Posted by: Houdini 19th February 2017, 01:46 PM
It's sad that almost the only times this thread gets bumped is when wrestlers die. R.I.P to all that have passed away recently!
Posted by: Rob S~ 20th February 2017, 06:24 PM
Vader has.... not died (yet) thankfully.
Onto not so morbid stuff, DDP has been announced for the 2017 HOF. I'm picking Jake to be his inductor possibly!
Posted by: Jonjo 22nd February 2017, 03:05 AM
I feel really bad for her! She waits 8/9 years for her title opportunity, finally gets it and she is injured in the process! I am not the biggest Naomi fan, personally. But as a personality she's stunning and deserves all the best. I was ready to see if she could prove me wrong and make me a solid believer in her and I was excited to see what she could bring to the table as a champion.
Such an emotional speech, especially seeing her exchange words with Bryan. She better be given a proper chance once she's 100%!
EDIT: Also, Maryse attacked Nikki tonight! *.* Setting up that inter gender tag match!!
Posted by: Rob S~ 1st March 2017, 12:31 PM
That ending to Smackdown was excellent. It was obviously coming the Orton turn but in such a dramatic and explosive way like that. Reminds me of the old Orton/Triple H feud for some reason. I was gripped the whole way through. Smackdown really did shit all over Raw in general this week though. The Ambrose/Corbin stuff is great.
That Miz/Cena segment stuff too. Looking forward to Maryse's return guys?
Posted by: Houdini 6th March 2017, 08:20 PM
FastLane was one of the worst Pay-Per Views I've ever seen, none of the matches were good and the main event between Kevin Owens & Goldberg was torture to watch. The thought of having Goldberg vs Lesnar for the Universal title as WrestleMania's main event is enough to kill the anticipation of WrestleMania as a whole.
Posted by: Rob S~ 6th March 2017, 08:37 PM
Vince really needs to retire from everything. I bet Reigns going over Strowman was his idea... it had to be.
Hopefully Reigns actually turns heel now if he's going to be wrestling undertaker. I hope it isn't a face v face match. I guess Sasha winning was the only good thing about the ppv imo!
Posted by: jase. 6th March 2017, 09:18 PM
I REALLY want to know how Kevin Owens really feels about how he was booked last night. He's worked his ass off for so long now, and for him to have to drop the title like THAT is such a massive f***ing insult to him. Just smh. Vince really, really needs to take his leave.
Posted by: bigwiglaf 11th March 2017, 05:11 AM
Retired wrestler 'Outlaw' Ron Bass passed away back on Tuesday this week due to a ruptured appendix. he was 69.
Posted by: Rob S~ 15th March 2017, 04:00 PM
So we currently have 11 matches for Wrestlemania and potentially a couple more since Ambrose the SD tag titles haven't been announced yet.
A few will get bumped to pre show like one or both the tag matches, cruiserweight title & maybe the Smackdown women's match (this really shouldn't keep happening as I'd prefer the Bayley one was on pre show instead)
There's a lot of dislike for the AJ/Shane match and although I agree Aj probably should be given a much bigger match as a main event headliner or something... I honestly think him and Shane will have a fantastic match.
Posted by: Rob S~ 16th March 2017, 07:38 PM
John Cena to induct Kurt into the HOF!
I guess it's fitting really since he's the only guy on the roster that seems the person to induct him especially when Kurt was his first opponent...
Posted by: Rob S~ 23rd March 2017, 01:57 PM
Not necessarily a wrestler as such but gotta feel for JR losing his wife, Jan after a accident where she wasn't wearing a helmet such a extremely sad way to pass
Posted by: Rob S~ 28th March 2017, 08:49 AM
So Neville v Aries is the first match bumped to pre show. I'd personally want the Andre battle royal, Smackdown Tag Match & maybe Ambrose v Corbin to be there or just have 3!
They really shouldn't keep pushing the Smackdown women's match to pre show on every major ppv, I get sick of the Raw one always being the priority one
Posted by: Jonjo 28th March 2017, 09:10 AM
Ugh. The SD womens match has been bumped to pre-show? I was looking forward to that more than the RAW one! Ffs.
Also not happy about Neville vs. Aries moving either. Andre battle royale should certainly be there though! Gahhh! I guess it was inevitable though, right?
Posted by: Rob S~ 28th March 2017, 01:00 PM
The Smackdown Women's match isn't officially on the pre show I just have a feeling they will put it there although it might not be moved if they are planning on adding surprise one off appearances to the match tbh I don't think either will particularly be moved but I wouldn't complain if the fatal four way gets bumped as I honestly don't have much excitement about it, besides they already have Bayley walking in as champ. I presumed she was going to Win it at the event a few months ago.
If I was in charge I'd definitely put the Battle Royal, Smackdown Tag titles match (presumably being added on tonight's show) & the raw women's match and if need be a 4th bump then the Raw tag titles!
Posted by: Houdini 28th March 2017, 06:21 PM
I can see WrestleMania going overtime like it did last year, there's 13 matches on the card at the moment which is one more than last year and more matches could be added on tonight's episode of Smackdown. I think the main show will be about 5 hours long.
Posted by: Rob S~ 28th March 2017, 11:18 PM
I did mention on Facebook but may say here too....
Aries v Neville
Andre the Giant Battle Royal
Smackdown Women's Title Match
ALL ON PRE SHOW, don't care for the battle royal as such but the other two definitely needed to be on the main show should have swapped them with the Smackdown Tag titles match (if there even is one) & Ambrose v Corbin (even though I'm interested in this match too)
The Smackdown Women get royally f***ed over for some reason when they are easily superior to the Raw division (Sasha aside)
Posted by: Houdini 31st March 2017, 08:02 PM
My WrestleMania match predictions:
Match 1: Braun Strowman
Match 2: Austin Aries
Match 3: Bray Wyatt
Match 4: Brock Lesnar
Match 5: Roman Reigns
Match 6: Seth Rollins
Match 7: AJ Styles
Match 8: Nia Jax
Match 9: Kevin Owens
Match 10: John Cena & Nikki Bella
Match 11: Baron Corbin
Match 12: Enzo & Cass
Match 13: Alexa Bliss
Posted by: Jonjo 31st March 2017, 08:18 PM
Who I WANT is in BOLD. Who I THINK will be normal and if it's both, I shall use Blue.
Match 1: Braun Strowman
Match 2: Neville
Match 3: Randy Orton / Bray Wyatt
Match 4: Goldberg / Brock Lesnar
Match 5: Taker
Match 6: Seth Rollins
Match 7: AJ Styles
Match 8: Sasha Banks
Match 9: Kevin Owens
Match 10: The Miz & Maryse
Match 11: Baron Corbin
Match 12: Gallows & Anderson / Enzo & Cass
Match 13: Alexa Bliss (But it could just as easily be a returning Tamina...)
Posted by: jase. 31st March 2017, 08:55 PM
Apparently Vince now wants Taker/Reigns to main event Mania over Berg/Lesnar. What a day to send the fans home happy - having Reigns go over
Posted by: Jonjo 31st March 2017, 09:14 PM
YASSS! I wanted them two to close the show. Especially over Berg/Lesnar. Am I REALLY the only one not wanting that match to happen?!
Posted by: Houdini 1st April 2017, 12:05 AM
No you're not the only one, I'm not looking forward to Goldberg vs Lesnar either. That match will be the worst out of all 13 matches at the event.
Posted by: Sevn Bru 1st April 2017, 05:15 PM
10 year wrasslin' fan here (hard to believe a decade ago we had Donald Trump playing a role in one of the big matches lmaoo) with some thoughts about WM33 (teh ultimate thrill ride!!!!) cos why not
Goldberg v Lesnar - guessing I'm the only one liking what they've done with Goldberg so far lol, most interesting feud Brock's been involved in for some time. Lesnar presumably wins the belt here which is cool, probably not in 'squash' fashion but I can't see the match going that long either
Reigns v Taker - the build and story behind this has been piss weak match won't be bad at least, and the reaction to Reigns' likely win will be glorious (and he definitely should if this is Taker's swansong match)
Wyatt v Orton - Bray getting a world title is nice and all but isn't it a bit too late? They should've done this like three years ago when his character was red hot. My head tells me Orton wins this
AJ v Shane - this match should deliver if they go all out with it, AJ will probably kill it as he does and Shane will probably kill himself as he does
Jericho v Owens - Owens' world title run was pretty laughable but I loved all the corny shit Jericho came up with, the stupid idiots and lists and whatnot Story for this has been built up nicely, should be a good match~
Rollins v HHH - feud went kinda cold with Trips' absence but they've pulled it back well enough since, hopefully Rollins starts to really prosper as a babyface from here
Cena/Nikki v Miz/Maryse - very small Mania match for Cena entertaining feud though, as would be expected
Raw Women's match - hard to get invested in this when the two main angles (Bayley's big title win and Charlotte's ppv streak) already ended before Mania just odd, guessing Bayley wins followed by a much-needed Sasha heel turn
Smackdown Women's match - complete hodgepodge with no story why not build a proper feud or something? Best outcome would be a Carmella win so we can get more James Ellsworth on our screens
Raw Tag Title match - ladder match to open the show? guess I'm down with that, would be nice if Enzo and Cass got the titles
Ambrose v Corbin - sure
Neville v Aries - eh
Andre the Giant match - is what it is I suppose. Either Strowman or Sami wins in the end, hopefully Strowman
Hoping it'll be a pretty good show, a number of these matches really could've used a better/longer build
Have to say that stage set looks AMAZING though, holy shit
Posted by: bigwiglaf 3rd April 2017, 01:42 AM
Well, so much for Big Cass and Enzo winning the Raw tag titles....the returning Hardy Boyz won those....
Posted by: Sevn Bru 3rd April 2017, 03:44 AM
THAT HARDYS RETURN <3 yesss
Rollins/HHH was great, easy match of the night for me so far! (edit: okay the goldberg/lesnar match would be up there too actually *.*)
Posted by: Houdini 3rd April 2017, 11:21 AM
WrestleMania was disappointing for me as it was way too long and it just felt like an extended episode of Raw/Smackdown with no great matches. The Hardy Boyz returning was the stand out moment and parts of AJ Styles vs Shane McMahon was good as well but everything else just felt poor in my opinion. The Cena & Nikki vs Miz & Maryse match was particularly bad although John Cena proposing to Nikki Bella in the middle of the ring after the match finished was really nice to see.
I can't see Brock Lesnar holding the Universal Title for long and I expect him to lose it to Roman Reigns at Payback or the next Raw Pay-Per-View after that. Bray Wyatt should have retained the WWE Championship as well instead of Randy Orton winning it again after previously winning it loads of times.
Posted by: Mack 3rd April 2017, 12:00 PM
Apparently The Undertaker has announced his retirement during WrestleMania.
Posted by: WallIsSoGood 3rd April 2017, 12:46 PM
Hardyz return and pop was incredible.
I was disappointed with almost every match, mainly the Orton & Wyatt match which was far to slow and nowhere near as good as what I anticipated. The smackdown woman championship felt far to rush and I wishe it was a traditional fatal four way with Becky, Mickie, Natalya and Alexa Bliss.
The thing what annoyed me most was Cena / Nikki v Miz and Maryse, the crowd loved Miz and Maryse and the way they buried Maryse pissed me off more than anything, she's a good in ring wrestler and she jobbed so hard!
Posted by: Rob S ~ 8th April 2017, 11:44 PM
I actually found it quite enjoyable overall, the only result I would have preferred was Bray retaining but I suppose that wasn't going to happen I do like Orton though and I applaud the join them/screw em angle.
In fact whoever has been writing smackdown's story lines... Please do so with raw too. Would be great thanks!
The Smackdown women's match was rushed as well, some good spots despite everything but would have loved it to have gone a bit more smoothly throughout.
The kick off match between Aries & Neville was sensational, really gutting it was bumped to that spot now as it looked fabulous from the pub I was watching from for the first hour or so.
Poor Ambrose too, his match with Corbin was decent as well. Just can't believe Taker has retired, we knew it was coming someday but it still feels surreal.
Superstar shakeup sounds interesting, hopefully not too many leave Smackdown as it has been the far superior show since the split. Aj going to raw is a definite though.
Oh gosh forgot about the HARDY'S, YES YES YES YES YES Best thing about the event. So happy they are back *.*
Posted by: Jonjo 9th April 2017, 02:02 AM
HOLY f***ING YES.
YES! YES! YES! YES!!!!!!
FUUUUCKKK!!!!!!!!
THE GREATEST MANIA MOMENT IN A LONG TIME FOR ME! AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO, SO HAPPY!
I shall write a review some point in the next couple of days, I wanna catch up with RAW & SD too (I know what happens on those though for the most part, so I know the debuts and things!) those ones are always my favourite shows of the year! I've seen the first 2 hours or so of RAW, just gonna catch up with the rest!
Posted by: Jonjo 10th April 2017, 05:44 PM
ALL CAUGHT UP!
Pre-Show:
It was alright. A bit long winded and the matches all seemed to be in the last hour or so of the show anyway? Surely they should've had Match 1, build up, match 2, build up, match 3, build up before the main show?
The Neville and Aries match I found a bit under whelming, however, I find Aries a bit hard to take to. I mean he's talented, but I feel he works better fighting people who are bigger than him. I think he needs out of the Cruiserweight division tbh. Really peeved that f***ing MOJO RAWLEY f***ING WON. Way to bury the Andre The Giant Battle Royale 3 years after it started... Should've had Sami or Braun win, imo! Set them up for a great push, like what happened with Corbin last year. Ambrose vs. Corbin was a slight disappointment for me, too! Could've been much better than what it was and I am 100% certain that Corbin would've won had it not been moved to the pre-show. Thankfully their match on Smackdown following WM, was superior and was more like what I was expecting.
---
Wrestlemania:
THE STAGING IS PHENOMENAL. SO, SO, SO BEAUTIFUL! That runway though! *_* Tinashe was so nervous singing the national anthem though! Bless her.
AJ Styles vs. Shane McMahon:
- A very solid opening match and a good match to keep the crowd invested and intrigued. However, it was FAR from either participants best ever matches.
Chris Jericho (ch) vs. Kevin Owens:
- A very good match and I think that was partly down to the story and the emotion of this rivalry! They work very well together and Owens winning was a nice way to help get him over even more.
Bayley (ch) vs. Sasha Banks vs. Charlotte vs. Nia Jaxx:
- The biggest disappointment of the night and it's only because it was booked incredibly stupidly and WRONG! It also seemed really short for the caliber of match it should've been! The only positive I have is that Nia look a billion dollars. She's a MONSTER and they got her elimination and her execution overall SPOT ON, imo. Then, soon after, we have Sasha eliminated. In such a shit and quick way... AGAIN. Just like they had her do at Survivor Series. Then after that I lost ALL interest and I don't think I've been so pissed off at a booking before. WTF are they doing with Sasha?!
Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson (ch) vs. Enzo & Cass vs. Cesaro & Sheamus vs. Hardy Boyz:
- I really want to watch this again because I was just on such a high from seeing the Hardy Boyz returning, that I don't know if I was just saying it, but this was my favourite match of the night. But the ladder matches always nearly are for me, so throw in the Hardyz and well... instant winner haha! Jeff looked so HEALTHY and it was SO good seeing him look that way instead of being high all the time. Really happy they seem to be keeping the whole "broken" thing too as Matt is definitely the most sought after Superstar in the world right now due to that gimmick. I also heard WWE are gonna be helping them in their lawsuit against TNA to keep that gimmick!
John Cena & Nikki Bella vs. The Miz & Maryse:
- WTF at the little to no airtime for Nikki or Maryse... It was decent enough, but I wanted to see more Maryse!
Seth Rollins vs. Triple H (w/ Stephanie):
- Great match, as I expected between these two. Loved the back and forth action and it was great to see Triple H actually lose, although I expected him to, because that means it's one of his "own" going over him! He'll do the reverse to what he does to WCW stars and let every NXT superstar he faces against, go over him (he always gets the big win over WCW stars!) Had just the right amount of spots and thrills, even if Stephanie going through the table ended up being predictable!
Bray Wyatt (ch) vs. Randy Orton:
- Definitely the most uninterested I've been in a "main event" Mania match. Not even Orton kept me hooked. Like, it wasn't terrible or anything, I just wasn't into it. Probs down to Wyatt. I really dislike him. Although, he most DEFINITELY should've won and got the big win over Orton on this one.
Goldberg (ch) vs. Brock Lesnar (w/ Paul Heyman):
- A match of two moves. Excellent. 
(Although it provided me with my favourite match moment of the night, with that spear out of nowhere!)
Alexa Bliss (ch) vs. Naomi vs. Natalya vs. Carmella vs. Becky Lynch vs. Mickie James:
- 5 minutes. 5 minutes is all these women got. f*** THAT SHIT. Not nearly enough time to let all these women show what they're truly capable of at the grandest stage of them all. 2nd most disappointing match of the night for me, but as I mentioned before about her, I'm happy for Naomi, because she seems SO genuine and lovely in reality, but as a performer, she really isn't doing it for me.
The Undertaker vs. Roman Reigns:
- I really wanted this match to end about half way through. I was just getting sad at Taker just looking worse and worse with each bump he went to take. I am not MAD at Reigns beating him, but I really wanted Brock to be the ONLY one to have beaten Taker at WM. But that was ruined for me, coz I wanted him to retire with the streak in the first place... Not the worst WM match in Takers career, that goes to the Brock match for me, but definitely down in the bottom 3! Reigns really should've done what HBK did to Flair and actually said/mouthed something like "Thank you" before giving him one final Superman punch or something.
Takers Send Off:
Well, I am incredibly upset that it's come to this, but it was only ever a matter of time, wasn't it? What a legacy though! Definitely one of my all time favourites. Top 5 with Team Xtreme and Jericho for sure. Gonna be so weird knowing he's not going to be around and potentially not be involved in WM at all next year. Do we think he's inducted next year? He deserves to have his own induction.
---
RAW & SD:
So good seeing The Hardyz back and at the top. Something Dudleyz tried to do but failed... BALOR IS BACK! EMMA IS BACK! ANGLE IS RAW GM! Strowman vs. Brock will be really good if booked correctly! Reigns doing what he did at the start of RAW was brilliant. Nia attacking Charlotte was great! Emma looked incredible and will be a top heel very soon, I reckon!
SHINSUKE NAKAMURA!!!! SHINSUKE NAKAMURA!!!! He's on SD! f*** YEAHHH! Although I think this almost, more or less confirms that AJ is getting moved to RAW tonight </3 Dream match right there! Ty Dillinger is something special to. I hope WWE don't drop the ball with him like they did with Breeze or Fandango! Miz and Maryse continue to be highlights too. He really needs another championship run! (And to STAY on SD!)
Posted by: WallIsSoGood 10th April 2017, 06:13 PM
Ideal Draft Swaps
Raw
Becky Lynch / Mickie James
John Cena
Dolph Ziggler
Dean Ambrose
American Alpha
Smackdown
Sasha Banks / Charlotte
The Club
Ceasaro
Seth Rollins
Rusev / Kevin Owens
Posted by: Jonjo 10th April 2017, 06:51 PM
I'm thinking:
To RAW:
- AJ Styles
- Alexa Bliss
- American Alpha
- Dolph Ziggler
---
To SD:
- Roman Reigns > Separates him and Brock for a bit, if it's true about the road they're planning... <
- Sasha Banks > I think Sasha will benefit a lot more from being on Smackdown, than Charlotte. <
- Enzo & Cass
- Sami Zayn
They're the ones I think will happen. I can't see Cesaro being moved when him and Sheamus have a title shot against The Hardyz!
Posted by: Rob S ~ 10th April 2017, 09:05 PM
Apollo Crews is the first one to move to Raw and he didn't even get announced officially live on the main show
Anyway my predictions
Raw
Aj Styles
Alexa Bliss
Dolph Ziggler
Dean Ambrose
The Ascension
The Miz & Maryse
Kalisto (just for the cruiserweight stuff)
Smackdown
The New Day
Seth Rollins
Charlotte
Big Show
Sami Zayn
Rusev
Posted by: Rob S ~ 11th April 2017, 12:28 PM
4 right for Raw with Miz, Maryse, Kalisto & Dean Ambrose!
I think the best trade despite being a big loss to Smackdown is Alexa. Completely showed up Bayley and Sasha in that segment last night *.*
Posted by: Jonjo 11th April 2017, 03:09 PM
Alexa really controls the crowd perfectly. She does what Charlotte fails to do. She capitalises on the crowds reaction. Charlotte seems to be quite overwhelmed each time.
I am LOVING what they're doing with Nia. In fact, I'd be happy to see her beat Bayley for the championship, have a good run up until Summerslam, where she drops the belt to Asuka!
Posted by: Rob S ~ 18th April 2017, 03:54 PM
So sad to hear about Rosey. Only 47 & Michael Cole mentioned Umaga during Jeff Hardys match against Cesaro last night how bizarre. I guess Roman won't be on Raw next week for another week (or he might).

Eh I guess it's someone new in the title scene...
Posted by: Houdini 19th April 2017, 11:54 AM
Eh I guess it's someone new in the title scene...
Jinder Mahal doesn't stand a chance in this match. It looks like Raw is better than Smackdown now after the draft.
Posted by: Jonjo 1st May 2017, 07:57 AM
Not Alexa Bliss actually beating Bayley in Bayley's hometown and beating Charlotte to the race as the first ever woman to hold the RAW and SD Women's Championships *.*
Posted by: Houdini 1st May 2017, 11:18 PM
The House Of Horrors match between Randy Orton & Bray Wyatt was weird and quite funny , Payback as a whole was average at best which is what I expected it to be prior to the Pay-Per-View.
Posted by: Rob S ~ 3rd May 2017, 11:36 AM
Alexa is perhaps the only essential Woman out of both brands right now (ladies wise I mean). So glad they had kept on with pushing her as I'd thought she'd be knocked down with Bayley, Sasha & Nia overshadowing everyone.
From her coronation she did seem to track a mix of Trish & AJ Lee which sets up to be one of the best in recent times at least on the mic although her in ring work has improved a lot too!
Also liking the heel women's faction on Smackdown. I think we can assume Owens v AJ Styles, Zayn v Corbin & Shinsuke v Ziggler will be the other main matches at Backlash. All potentially great matchups!
Posted by: Roba 22nd May 2017, 03:12 AM
Eating your words as we speak. I don't know how I feel about this. Certainly a wtf moment, kudos to them though they have built Jinder up brilliantly this last month as much as I don't want to admit it.
Shinsuke v Ziggler, Zayn v Corbin & Styles v Owens were all top notch & the Harper/Rowan match was decent too. The tag match was very odd though
P.s. Becky's hair looked nice tonight *.*
Posted by: Jonjo 19th June 2017, 01:23 AM
The ending to the Womens MITB match was absolutely horrendous. None of the women got their "moment". It was such an awful way for Carmella to get the briefcase. Obviously Ellsworth was gonna get involved, but he really shouldve had a less prominent role on grabbing the briefcase. He should've held Becky down or something and let Carmella grab the case for her moment. Literally fuming. (It was a great match too!)
Tamina was the real MVP though! She really deserves a shot ffs!
Posted by: Roba 19th June 2017, 11:41 AM
Lana really impressed me in the woman's match against Naomi!
The way Carmella won was shit let's be honest lmao!
Posted by: Simon. 19th June 2017, 08:36 PM
Tamina shone!
HATED the ending but it's done the job it's generated heat for Ellsworth/Carmella.
Lana is I could watch her all day.
Posted by: Jonjo 19th June 2017, 10:01 PM
Lana reminded me so much of early Trish! Not perfect, but decent enough. She has a lot of charisma, passion and personality which is needed for that type of gimmick! Eva flopped in those 3 departments.
Posted by: Simon. 20th June 2017, 07:02 PM
Is Paige set to come back soon and join the raw heels? Seems odd to have 4 faces feuding with 3 heels.
Posted by: Roba 20th June 2017, 10:54 PM
I'd like for her to return but I think Alicia Fox will be tagged in to the heel group.
Posted by: Jonjo 20th June 2017, 11:03 PM
Where is this RAW Womens division heading? LOVED seeing Emma face up against Alexa! Looking forward to seeing more of her in the title picture.
Posted by: Rob S 9th August 2017, 05:24 PM
Well this topic died a lot didn't it
How ironic that Jons post about the women's division on Raw heading... nowhere. I love Sasha but it's getting a bit tiring seeing the same few challenging Alexa. Emma needs to shine not be the one tapping out
Posted by: Houdini 25th September 2017, 03:07 AM
I was hoping that Braun Strowman would beat Brock Lesnar to win the Universal Championship but unfortunately it wasn't to be. I think No Mercy was largely a good Pay-Per-View apart from the main event, the tag team match was my favourite.
Posted by: Jonjo 25th September 2017, 10:43 AM
I heard that the PPV was fantastic, bar the ending. So I'm looking forward to watching it tonight!
Posted by: jase. 25th September 2017, 08:42 PM
It's so blatant that Vince wants Reigns to go over Lesnar at next years WrestleMania How...depressing.
Posted by: Jonjo 25th September 2017, 08:50 PM
The womens match stole the show for me.
The tag match was next, Cesaro didn't LOSE his teeth... he pushed them up his gums 
Everything else was decent too, although the Cruiserweight match was boring af. I'd have preferred Braun to win, but I've resigned myself to the fact we won't have a new champ until Lesnar vs Reigns at WM.

Former manager and on air broadcaster Bobby 'The Brain (or Weasel)' Henan passed away about 10 days ago at age 73. and I think from some sort of cancer, similar to the type that took US movie critic Roger Ebert several years back. R.I.P. Bobby....
Posted by: Asmodeus 1st October 2017, 06:23 PM
He had it really tough the past decade. Throat/Mouth cancer and had to have his jaw rebuilt which greatly altered his appearance and speaking ability. Probably the greatest managers and color commentators of all-time. Him and Gorilla Monsoon were comedy gold.

Fuming Emma has been released.
Posted by: Jonjo 29th October 2017, 07:21 PM
Same! Absolutely LIVID.
Summer Rae and Darren Young I'm not bothered about, but Emma is a huge blow! She seemed like she was just on the cusp of becoming a crowd favourite! I DON'T UNDERSTAND!!
Posted by: Houdini 29th October 2017, 07:41 PM
Emma must have done something to piss off the guys in charge. It's strange because it was only last Sunday that she wrestled Askua at TLC. I'm not surprised about Darren Young and as for Summer Rae I forgot she was still in WWE.
Posted by: leewallace 29th October 2017, 08:33 PM
I originally thought emma asked to be released, it’s so good to see everybody supporting her though!
Posted by: Simon. 1st November 2017, 11:09 PM
It’s now apparent that she had made some enemies in the writing department. However, can we take a minute to appreciate Alicia Fox and her captain hat.
Posted by: Jonjo 2nd November 2017, 12:14 AM
YES! I adore Foxxy!!
Posted by: Jonjo 20th November 2017, 07:21 PM
Tamina looked great in the Survivor Series match last night!
Lets hope her momentum can continue!
Posted by: Jonjo 21st November 2017, 08:03 PM
Paige making one of the best returns in a while!! (Well Hardyz win for surprise factor but Paige wins for making an impression!!)
Posted by: Houdini 21st November 2017, 08:31 PM
I was surprised to see Paige return last night, I wouldn't mind if she won the Raw Women's Championship as Alexa Bliss is getting boring now as champion. I can see Askua winning that title at some point over the upcoming months.
Triple H vs Braun Strowman at Royal Rumble or WrestleMania looks very likely at the moment.
Posted by: Simon. 22nd November 2017, 08:51 PM
Lets hope her momentum can continue!
And typical WWE, they keep Nia and Tamina off this week.
After Nia was a no show, I expected her to show up on smackdown with Peyton & Billie Kaye to carry on the Tamina fued. Just wish Smackdown hadn’t done literally the same storyline bringing in NXT newbies.
Posted by: Jonjo 7th December 2017, 09:58 PM
Sasha and Alexa have just made history!
They became the first women to be allowed to wrestle in Abu Dhabi. Ever.
What a landmark! A fantastic milestone!
Posted by: Houdini 19th December 2017, 06:20 PM
More history is going to be made at the Royal Rumble. For the first time ever there will be a Women's Royal Rumble match and the winner will get a Women's Championship match at WrestleMania.
Posted by: Simon. 26th December 2017, 10:36 PM
I’m getting bored of WWE expecting to be praised for letting women do these things, it should have been happening for a long time by now.
Posted by: rob s 11th January 2018, 04:03 PM
really excited for the women's rumble. that's as long as they don't f*** it up like they did at the 25th wrestlemania by doing it all with fast eliminations etc. the women have come a really long way since then!
I wouldn't be surprised if both bellas appeared as two of the vacant spots and several nxt stars and rounda. hopefully 5/6 are past wwe women.
Posted by: Jonjo 11th January 2018, 04:53 PM
I reckon the likely returnees are Trish, Ivory, Kelly Kelly, Brie, Nikki & potentially Lita. I say potentially coz I'm not sure where she stands with performing in-ring again. I'd love to see the crowds reaction to a staredown between her and Trish again and then going at it with their fists (like Sami vs Zayn last year) but then Sasha and Bayley enter for a Banks/Bayley vs Lita/Trish staredown!
All too good to be true so this is just me fantasising, but I feel they'd be missed opportunities.
Posted by: rob s 12th January 2018, 12:06 AM
molly is said to possibly be taking part but you can't really tell if it is 100% accurate. Michelle mcool and Beth I wouldn't bet against either or Victoria or Jazz but I doubt it. can't see Kaitlyn returning despite talks that she's back in the ring and obviously Aj won't return as much as I'd like her to.
. we're then left with ufc and nxt women to fill out the remainder.
Posted by: Meekul 14th January 2018, 11:27 PM
So it was reported on Saturday that Paige is being forced to retire from professional wrestling following a sting she received from Sasha Banks at a live show. Neither WWE or Paige have commentated on this and I fully expect we will get some sort of announcement on Monday Night Raw if this is true. However, no news seems to be good news right now and WWE posted this on their Instagram before deleting it minutes after
https://twitter.com/bvmbshelled/status/952216063558680576/photo/1
I really, really, really hope this is a work because WWE was pushing her more than any other women on the roster and according to sources she was in the final two in the rumble along with Askua and the plan was for a triple threat at Mania with Paige, Askua and Bliss.
Posted by: Jonjo 15th January 2018, 12:33 AM
I wonder if that post was removed due to the reports being real? Or maybe they didn't want to have the comments to be all "does this mean she's ok" or whatever. Hmm.. Like you've said and we've spoken about, for now I'm not going to believe anything until Paige and/or WWE have said something. Hopefully tomorrow night, just so we can move on.
But some people are thinking that it's a work and that WWE are playing into it (which could be a very smart idea).

Posted by: Evil Houdini 23rd January 2018, 08:34 PM
I tried to watch it but not only did my stream die but my internet connection as a whole died soon after it started
, I only saw the Stone Cold & Vince McMahon segment. From what I've heard it was quite an anti-climatic episode of Raw.
Posted by: Evil Houdini 26th January 2018, 02:00 PM
According to William Hill Shinsuke Nakamura is the 11/10 favourite ahead of Roman Reigns to win the Men's Royal Rumble this Sunday. Ronda Rousey is the 6/5 favourite to win the Women's Royal Rumble match.
I will be surprised if Shinsuke Nakamura wins the Royal Rumble as I can't see it being anyone from Smackdown, I think Roman Reigns winning it is a very strong possibility especially as he just lost the Intercontinental Championship this past week and he would be the most likely opponent for Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania. My pick to win the Women's Rumble match would be Asuka but I suppose it all depends of whether Ronda Rousey will take part like she's been rumoured to.
Posted by: Jonjo 26th January 2018, 03:23 PM
Why are Charlotte and Alexa included? :/ (and quite high up considering their status in the company at the moment)
Becky being third fave is surprising too. Hmm..
Posted by: jase. 26th January 2018, 03:30 PM
Asuka clearing house on Raw all but confirmed Rousey's winning
Shinsuke would be an amazing winner but Vince has a boner for Reigns so I expect he'll win. again.
Posted by: Jonjo 26th January 2018, 03:47 PM
I'm really looking forward to it this year. It's the first year in years that I feel like it's not going to be as straight forward as the obvz faves (Reigns or Shinsuke) winning. But I feel like Shinsuke could use the momentum of a RR win the most. He's barely done much since being called up to the main roster and it'd be better as they can create the AJ/Shinsuke feud off of that without turning either of them heel. Whereas Reigns and Brock is already written for itself more or less.
Posted by: Evil Houdini 29th January 2018, 04:35 AM
I was surprised that the Women's Royal Rumble match was the main event, I didn't really enjoy it much and it felt more like a testimonial event with all the past wrestlers taking part. The end was as predictable as it possibly could have been once it was clear that Ronda Rousey wasn't taking part and then as if that wasn't bad enough they just completely swept Asuka's victory under the carpet by randomly bringing Rousey out at the end just so that she could point at the WrestleMania sign.
That was a disappointing end to an average Pay Per View in my opinion. The Men's Royal Rumble was better but not that much better, William Hill were right just like last year and the year before that by making Nakamura the favourite. Roman Reigns will most likely win the Elimination Chamber match instead and face Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania.
Posted by: Simon. 29th January 2018, 12:00 PM
I think it’s been the best Royal Rumble in at least 10 years.
Posted by: jase. 29th January 2018, 12:27 PM
The fact they made Asuka's win all about Rousey totally ruined the moment. Ugh.
Posted by: Evil Houdini 29th January 2018, 01:09 PM
Apparently Ronda Rousey has signed full time with WWE. I think she will wrestle in only one match which will be at WrestleMania possibly against Stephanie McMahon and then she will leave. I cant imagine her turning up every week to Raw like most of the female wrestlers. She will be like the female Brock Lesnar but with even fewer appearances on Raw.
Posted by: Jonjo 29th January 2018, 10:26 PM
I was not disappointed with the womens rumble match at all. It exceeded my expectations, probs coz I expected it to be a huge mess!
The only bad things I took away, were...
- When they kept rolling out the ring. They should've just moved to the bottom ropes etc..
- No Lita/Trish showdown
That's literally it tbh. The legends all got great pops! Trish looked incredible. She hasn't lost it one little bit! And seeing Sasha square up to her and Lita... WHAT A MOMENT.
Almas looked fantastic in the mens rumble too! If you didn't watch his match against Johnny Gargano the night before on Takeover, honestly please do. Its incredible!
The standalone matches... left a lot to be desired imo. Not the best, but I didn't think any of them were PPV worthy.
But yeah, my fave rumble matches in a long time.
---
Also, Rey Mysterio looked to be in fantastic shape! He lost a lot of weight and moves a lot smoother and swifter (and I say this as someone who's not really too big on him!)
Posted by: Jonjo 30th January 2018, 11:16 AM
So, Womens Elimination Chamber match set for a few weeks Wasn't expecting that as soon as this tbh! But yay.
Also, I've been reading and seeing that Asuka vs Banks on RAW last night was incredible! Looking forward to watching it tonight!
Posted by: Evil Houdini 30th January 2018, 11:31 AM
The women's elimination chamber match has the potential to be good but only if they make a lot of use of the steel structure surrounding the ring, it would be nice for someone to get smashed through a glass pod as well. It's a shame that blood has been banned in WWE now otherwise that could be a bonus as well in both the women's and the men's chamber matches.
Yeah Asuka vs Sasha Banks was by far the best match on Raw last night, it was a hard hitting match which left both competitors exhausted by the end. There was one moment in particular in the match that looked quite brutal on camera.

Yeah it was the dive from Sasha that I was talking about
, at first it looked as if Asuka legitimately kicked her in the head but she just only scraped Sasha's head.
Posted by: Frooot 14th February 2018, 11:37 PM
So I do think it's looking likely that Paige is going to announce retirement as she's focused more on her clothing brand and she's stopped attending house shows. I can also see Tamina being released very shortly soon too as she's just suffered another injury which will rule her out for up to eight months.
The Smackdown's women division needs a major overhaul, it used to be my favourite but the sole focus seems to be on Riott Squad (who I don't find interesting in the slightest) and Charlotte. I think wherever Charlotte seems to go she brings that division down as everything seems focused on her and she's not interesting being a face in the slightest.

I'm sure Mickie would had more 8-12 years back too.
Charlotte higher than a lot of these tho *.
Posted by: Mack. 20th March 2018, 12:49 PM
Don't think Sasha vs. Bayley will happen, but I think they'll be the last 2 in the Battle Royal and go for maybe 10 minutes just the two of them. Then they can feud after Mania.
Posted by: Mack. 30th March 2018, 11:47 PM
Mysterio is injured and I dunno if they’d put him on WrestleMania given he’s presumably doing the high profile NJPW San Francisco show.

WWE have confirmed that WrestleMania 34 will be a seven hour long show.
Posted by: Evil Houdini 1st April 2018, 12:30 AM
Last year's WrestleMania was around that length of time as well I think. It will finish around 5 AM UK time.
Posted by: Jonjo 1st April 2018, 12:37 AM
So it'll start at 10pm here in UK? I might watch until about 1 or 2, then leave the rest for when I finish work Monday!
I assume there will be no pre-show and the entire card is the official card for WM?
Posted by: Evil Houdini 1st April 2018, 12:52 AM
The main show normally starts at midnight UK time so I guess the pre show will start at 10 PM. I don't think I'll watch the pre show but I'll at least catch some of the main show.
Posted by: Rob S 2nd April 2018, 11:31 PM
there will most likely be 3 matches on the pre show again this year. I think both battle royals and the cruiserweight match will the ones not making the main show. I really believe The Usos would be in danger had they not kept referring to the fact that they had been 'sidelined' year after year and after the year they've had, it would be a huge slap in the face if they are still somehow bumped to pre show.
my predictions for all the matches...
Mustafa Ali but I have no definite idea either of them could win this!
Johnny Gargano - Andre Royal
Becky Lynch - Women's Battle Royal
Miz (don't mind any of them winning tho)
Nia (I obviously prefer Alexa tho)
Bludgeon Brothers
Randy Orton (literally any of them could win)
Ronda and Kurt
Sami Zayn & Kevin Owens
The Bar
Asuka
Nakamura
Reigns
(Undertaker)
Posted by: Jonjo 2nd April 2018, 11:39 PM
My predictions:
Cedric Alexander
Johnny Gargano - Andre Royal
Becky Lynch - Women's Battle Royal (She deserves a moment - but I feel like a heel turn is heading her way, so a loss could lead to something)
Bálor
Alexa (could just as easily be Nia though - probs hardest match to call imo)
Bludgeon Brothers
Rusev (bit of a surprise, but I'm sure his merch sales will play a hand in him being champ)
Ronda and Kurt
Sami Zayn & Kevin Owens (w/ D Bry heel turn)
Strauman (& Elias)
Asuka
Nakamura
Reigns
Cena
Posted by: Evil Houdini 3rd April 2018, 05:07 PM
My WrestleMania 34 predictions:
Andre The Giant Battle Royal: Matt Hardy
Women's Battle Royal: Bayley
Crusierweight Championship: Cedric Alexander
Universal Championship match: Roman Reigns
WWE Championship match: AJ Styles
Intercontinental Championship: Finn Balor
United States Championship: Rusev
Raw Women's Championship: Nia Jax
Smackdown Women's Championship: Asuka
Raw Tag Team Championship: Braun Strowman and whoever his partner will be
Smackdown Tag Team Championship: Bludgeon Brothers
Kurt Angle & Ronda Rousey (Rousey will pin or submit Stephanie to get the win)
Daniel Bryan & Shane McMahon
John Cena (Assuming the Cena vs Taker match actually happens)
Posted by: Rob S 8th April 2018, 08:16 AM
there's a slight possibility that Ember might debut tonight or tomorrow after her title loss which was a great match btw!
Posted by: SevenSeize 8th April 2018, 11:17 PM
Not a lot i'm really interested in with this Mania card. will be nice to see Bryan back in the ring, and the Ronda match will probably be a cool kinda spectacle moment
hoping to see Roman Reigns win in the most superman troll-like fashion possible *.*
Posted by: Jonjo 9th April 2018, 12:25 AM
Been a great PPV so far. Fantastic matches.
Asuka losing her streak at WM though I think this more or less guarantees Carmella is gonna have a successful cash in soon.
Not here for yet another Mahal title reign though! 😩
Posted by: Jonjo 9th April 2018, 12:59 AM
The Rousey match was incredible. So, SO good!
Posted by: Jonjo 9th April 2018, 07:10 AM
I am split on WM... The first half was literally one of the best PPV's I'd seen in a long time. Rousey/Angle vs Steph/Trips was outstanding. It made so much sense for her first match to be against Steph, coz imo, Steph and Trips have the strongest in-ring psychology imo.
Then after that it seemed to be a bit... "oh. Ok then"... and the main event.. wtf was THAT?!?
Peaked 3 hours too early imo. But no proper squashes (well one was an extended squash match) which I loved. But AJ vs Shinsuke under delivered for me. It didn't go anywhere? The problem with 2 faces battling each other imo. But after the ending, I'm assuming they're gonna be in a programme for a little longer.
Conflicted as to what to rate/think of it overall. I feel like the first half was definitely a 9/10 out of 10 for me, but then the 2nd half, although not hating or disliking it, it was very average and more like a 5 out of 10. So I guess a 7 out of 10 overall? Poor for what is their biggest event, but then again it's been a while since Mania was the best PPV...
I shall give a detailed match by match review later, maybe!
Posted by: Rob S 9th April 2018, 01:56 PM
rankings for the night.
Andre Memorial Battle Royal 8/10 - This was perhaps the best of all the battle royals at wm I think helped by the Hardy win/Wyatt alliance.
Cruiserweight Title 10/10 - one of the most energetic matches (obviously) so many flawless move spots.
Women's Battle Royal - 6/10
Intercontinental Title - 8.5/10
Charlotte v Asuka - 9/10 - only downer Was Asuka losing her streak which was a shame, she doesn't necessarily need it to be champ tho.
US Title 6.0/10 - could have been better and I didn't like that it was
Rusev who's the most over atm that got pinned by jinder. lmao at them still pushing him super hard :')
Kurt and Ronda V Triple H & Stephanie 10/10 - really entertaining match, all brought it to this match, steph mainly for ring psychology.
Smackdown tag titles 5/10 - I liked the Bludgeon Brother being dominant but I was disappointed that the other teams get more of an chance to do some amazing stuff. plus it was very short too.
Cena v Taker 3/10 - I did enjoy Taker squashing Cena to some extent but I'd like to see a much lengthier match.
Shane and Daniel V Kami - 6/10 I think the fact that Shane wasn't a 100% took away from the match. Daniel Sami and Kevin all carried the match to a Decent outcome.
Alexa v Nia - 5.5/10 - Glad they got 10 minutes and alexa got some offence in but I think Because I knew Nia would win kinda knocks it down. I'm happy for her finally winning the title but I think this was a good but kinda mistake match and it was pretty obvious Nia was going to be super dominant.
Styles v Nakamura - 6/10 - For some reason I wasn't that impressed with this, it could have been way better. it wasn't like average or massively underwhelming because they both delivered some key moves moments etc but I just feel compared to the hype for it being a wrestlemania dream classic, it felt like it could have been even better for me to raise its rankage Nakamura turning heel was fantastic and made for a genuine shock moment!
Bar v Strowman and Nicholas - 1/10 - OK the kid thing might have been a sweet gesture but I wasn't ever invested in this match. Slightly disappointed Samoa Joe didn't be his tag partner tbh but I doubt the match would have been any better because they are all powerhouses and those are like the Khali v Kane type monster bouts that are just dull.
Finally Reigns V Lesnar 0/10 - Lmao, what the hell was this. Im beyond tired of the Lesnar domination and Reigns coming back with his very limited moveset and 2 signature moves. I guess Lesnar winning was a surprise but it wasn't a good enough reason to stop this match from being same old and boring.
Raw better deliver too!
Posted by: Evil Houdini 9th April 2018, 04:42 PM
I thought that the Ronda Rousey match was easily the best match of WrestleMania and it's one that I could watch over and over again, I've already watched it twice so far! It was pantomime wrestling at it's best and it brought back memories of the heel Triple H and Stephanie McMahon that i disliked (in a good wrestling way) growing up when the company was known as WWF. Ronda did really well considering it was her first wrestling match and she showed how strong she is by lifting Triple H onto her shoulders at one point in the match.
The rest of the event was largely average in my opinion. The Intercontinental Championship match was decent and so was the Smackdown Women's Championship match but i was really surprised that Asuka lost and it means that building up her undefeated streak for all these months was just for nothing.
The Undertaker vs John Cena match was a load of shite and i personally think that Taker needs to just retire now for good as each time he comes back to wrestle it just gets worse and worse. As for the main event the crowd reaction during the match said it all.

Oh dear! Vince and Brock got into an altercation after WM last night. I'm assuming it's down to Brock opening Reigns up. Vinny Mc has some serious balls getting into it with Brock f'n Lesnar!
Posted by: _jase 9th April 2018, 07:02 PM
f*** Asuka losing. Seriously. They've left some money off the table because an undefeated Asuka vs. an undefeated Rousey at next years WM could have been absolutely huge
On the topic of Rousey, how bloody good did she look last night? The whole match was an absolute riot from start to finish and the very clear highlight.
Posted by: SevenSeize 10th April 2018, 12:13 PM
Think we can agree Nicholas was the star of this wrestlemania weekend *.*
shame on them for that main event, setting it up perfectly for a glorious troll victory for Reigns....then he lost 
cowards!
Ronda did great in her debut though, best match on the show easily!
Posted by: Frooot 10th April 2018, 12:22 PM
I think this is the first time that I've actually been devastated about a superstar retiring, it makes it worse that she just returned from injury (probably a bit too early) and she's no longer able to do something that she loves, it's such a great shame as you can tell WWE had massive plans for her and I'm guessing she would have been raw women's champion by now.
I'm surprised that Absolution have split, I actually expected her to remain around WWE for much longer and possibly be a commentator etc / Smackdown general manager but her speech and the reaction of superstars seems to indicate that her run with WWE is over, she's been removed from the active roster to the alumini section but it's nice to see her go full circle and I'm guessing it made sense for her to retire at the stadium she debuted! She also managed to get an extra couple of months in WWE with managing absolution but yeah..... we all knew she was retired but still doesn't make it anymore sad.
She's so over with the fans despite being a heel

that was short lived (her appearance on TV) as she's now GM of SmackDown.
Shakeup coming next week, hopefully Balor, Becky, Sasha and perhaps Jeff get moved!

John Cena and Nikki Bella split up 3 weeks before they were going to get married. oooops that Wrestlemania moment will be a now meaningless moment.
Posted by: Evil Houdini 16th April 2018, 11:57 AM
I'm really surprised by that, it's gonna be very awkward now for the two of them and even more awkward for the Total Bellas/ Total Divas programme.
Posted by: Evil Houdini 16th April 2018, 12:36 PM
I'm expecting Rusev, Becky Lynch and Baron Corbin to move to Raw in the shake up. Finn Balor, Elias and/or Braun Strowman could potentially move to Smackdown. I think Braun Strowman has done all that he can on Raw now so he may as well move shows, especially as the Universal Champion Brock Lesnar barely defends his title or shows up on Raw.

Posted by: Evil Houdini 27th April 2018, 11:41 PM
Titus falling over on his way to the ring was hilarious , the rumble match as a whole was quite fun I thought but that was mainly for the botches that happened. Disappointed that Brock Lesnar retained the Universal Championship as it will mean that we wont get to see that belt get defended regularly still.
Posted by: Simon. 1st May 2018, 09:07 PM
Met Lita on her UK meet and greet your on Saturday. Got to have some pics and ask her a question in the q&a. I asked if she could go back and have a rematch from anyone in the attitude era who and what stipulation would it be. I did also add she can’t choose gravy bowl as an option. She interested said Chyna, she claimed the storyline with her and Chyna was meant to go on for over 3 months so they could have different match types together. Makes you wonder if Chyna hadn’t have gone would Trish have ever been given the chance to rise up later that year.
Posted by: Rob S 3rd May 2018, 02:42 PM
^^ that's awesome. how lucky for two of you to have met her now. So jealous x
Also really not dealing with Rusev and English potentially splitting up right now. they are mega over ��
Posted by: Evil Houdini 7th May 2018, 03:37 AM
Backlash was one of the worst PPV's I've ever seen, far too many rest holds in majority of the matches and Roman Reigns pointlessly winning the main event match against Samoa Joe. The Seth Rollins Vs Miz match was the only standout match in my opinion.
Posted by: Jonjo 7th May 2018, 06:02 AM
I kinda agree with the rest holds stuff, but I don't agree that it was an awful PPV...
I thought it was one of the most "fun" PPVs in a while. Rollins vs Miz was outstanding. I enjoyed Nia vs Alexa (surprised at how good Alexa looked against Nia compared to WM) and I thought AJ vs Shinsuke was their best match yet (despite that ridiculous ending - since when did NO DQ's result in a countout of any sort?!?!?!)
---
Also, Alexa seems to have injured a shoulder! Obviously we have people saying "it's a work" etc.. but this will be like the 4th time Nia's injured someone, so eek at that, even worse if it's true and she's legit injured a Vince fave!
However, I think it's pretty convenient timing. I don't think I'll believe it until we see medical photos etc.. I can see it being a work coz it keeps her out of the title spotlight, without completely taking her out of it (if that makes sense) and she'll be back in time for MITB or something (where she won't do any big bumps herself ����) and probs win (although I'd prefer her to win the rumble over MITB).
But yeah. Hopefully it is a work and she's not legitimately injured!
So, SO happy Carmella beat Charlotte
Posted by: Rob S 7th May 2018, 09:34 PM
echo the rollins v miz match. that was the definition of incredible! apparently they had different producers assigned for the matches including the likes of Noble, Dean Malenko, D Von, Tyson Kidd and Michael Hayes. Hayes was in charge of the Roman match which did bore me somewhat and Kidd was in charge of Rollins/Miz (*.*) shows that Tyson needs to be in charge a lot more of matches as he was behind that epic match!
I actually didn't think much of the Nia/Alexa match) unpopular opinion) Alexa had some great offence especially the ring step stuff but it just seemed like a mismatch and didn't flow smoothly for me...
Carmella needs to stop SCREEEAAAMING in her matches, it's really off-putting otherwise I'm also glad she beat Charlotte. Can she please go down the line now plssss.
Shinsuke/AJ & Orton v Jeff weren't too bad either although a little slow for the latter and the tag match was entertaining but is getting a bit repetitive now.
I think Backlash gets 6.0 for me so not really bad or anything just a little above average but nothing special except for the IC Match of course!
Posted by: Rob S 9th May 2018, 08:59 PM
looks like Reigns will be facing Mahal now. what a exciting match that'll be.... :/
rooting for any of the guys who qualified for MITB. I reckon they'll give Miz the win tho as they'll want to build up him v Bryan and maybe add the title Into the feud which wouldn't be a bad thing as I'm certainly more invested in Miz as I wasn't at all back in 2011. then again Balor needs some momentum as does Rusev and then Strowman should be champ already and I don't see why he's in a match of this caliber personally.

side note Mandy getting a Goldust esque entrance all you need is to permanently keep her attire to Gold :')

Posted by: Rob S 22nd May 2018, 09:37 PM
WWE MITB card looking like a strong card. Do think someone will cost Ronda the women's title as it feels a bit sudden to have her first singles match be a potential title win when she's only wrestled one match on TV so far...
Posted by: Evil Houdini 25th May 2018, 12:30 AM
If someone costs Ronda Rousey the title then it will most likely be Natalya which would start a feud between those two.
Posted by: Rob S 8th June 2018, 11:30 PM
Which would be a solid feud for Ronda as Natayla is just the woman to help someone improve more and put on a great match up with.
The women's MITB actually looks super good this year and I'd be saying that even if I wasn't a male lol. All of them should muster up an excellent match if pulled off nicely. Embers finisher is going to be soo cool from the ladder if she has the spot planned.
Aside from that... Elias v Seth and AJ V Nakamura look like the other potential matches of the night.
I can forsee a Heel turn for Bobby Roode either at the event or after as it's blatantly obvious the turn is coming based off recent weeks!
Posted by: Rob S~ 17th June 2018, 09:17 AM
final predictions for tonight..
Smackdown tag title match : Bludgeon Brothers
Daniel Bryan V Big Cass : I'm tempted to say Bryan again but I can see Cass cheating somehow to win. its a bit pointless to build someone up as a big heel force just to totally Bury them but then this is WWE and whilst Cass has improved a tiny bit, I wouldn't care tbh.
Lashley v Zayn : Bobby
IC Title : Hmm hard one but Im going for a retain from Rollins. I do predict Elias will win the title somewhen this year tho.
Smackdown Women's title : usually I'd have gone for Asuka but I have a feeling they want Carmella to remain champ a bit longer and the reports Of James Ellsworth could easily lead to a retain. carmella
Reigns v Mahal : Reigns
Ronda v Nia : Nia with a heel turn from Natayla.
AJ v Shinsuke : Shinsuke Nakamura (surely since its probably his last one on one title shot with Styles)
Women's MITB : The three women I predict to win are : Natayla, Ember or Alexa.
Mens MITB : Miz

NXT Takeover 4 was brilliant last night! I think NXT is the best thing WWE has to offer at the moment and the Takeover shows are the best shows of the year. I don't think Summerslam will be anywhere near as good but it will be interesting to see what happens with the Universal Championship match, I have a feeling that Brock will retain the title but I hope I'm wrong.

I couldn't believe it when I found out about Roman Reigns having leukaemia. And what was even more surprising was the fact that it's not the only time that he's had it as well! You would never have guessed looking at him and watching him in the ring over the past few years. It's very sad and I hope he makes the speediest of recoveries, it will be amazing if he returns back to wrestling in the future.

I'm sure Kurt Angle will come back somehow.
It's such a shame that Becky Lynch wont be able to face Ronda Rousey at Survivor Series this Sunday, Becky is easily the most interesting wrestler on the main roster at the moment and the match against Rousey would have been the best of the PPV. Charlotte vs Ronda should be decent though but it wont be as good as what we could have got if it wasn't for Nia Jax injuring Becky.
Big weekend of WWE coming up with NXT Takeover: War Games taking place on Saturday night! I think this could be the best WWE show of 2018 and I'm looking forward so much to seeing the war games match involving the Undisputed Era.

There wasn't a Universal Title match at TLC lmao. Lesnar was never advertised for a match. I do hope Braun wins at the Royal Rumble but you know WWE loves to piss the fans off lol
On a related note Ambrose v Rollins was heavily criticised, very unlike them to produce a bad match, it didn't feel like a solid match though.
Paige removed as Smackdown GM is rather annoying as Smackdown has been the better show this year and she's been doing an exceptional job with it!

Posted by: Rob S~ 14th January 2019, 01:59 PM
As of right now the odds to win the women's rumble is topped off by Charlotte and Becky. I really can't see anyone else winning this match really. Have a gut feeling Charlotte will win moreso than Becky and it wouldn't surprise me if she entered at 3 and repeated what her dad did exactly. Becky doesn't necessarily need to win but of course she'd be my choice with Ember next. Ember deserves a big push this year. She's been called up to the roster having been Nxt women's champ to doing practically nothing with her
As for the men's match I'd love Drew to win as he's so much better than he was in the past and I liked the "Chosen One" times too.
Itll be Rollins though who I don't have anything against winning either and he's had one hell of a 2018!
I also think Miz and Shane are going to be tag champs as well.. This is WWE after all who put Braun with a 10 year old and won the titles (from the Bar at that) lol
Posted by: Simon. 20th January 2019, 03:21 PM
Women Royal Rumble reveal starts at 5pm today, don’t get why they are doing this, ruins it a bit.
Posted by: Houdini 20th January 2019, 10:26 PM
I would be very surprised if anyone other than Charlotte or Becky Lynch wins the Women's Royal Rumble. I think Drew McIntyre will either be the person with most eliminations or the person who lasts longest in the Men's Royal Rumble. Seth Rollins is the favourite purely because Brock Lesnar is the Universal Champion, I think Drew would have won it if Roman Reigns didn't relinquish the title.
It should be a very good weekend of WWE wrestling next week with NXT TakeOver: Phoenix taking place the night before the rumble!
Posted by: Rob S~ 24th January 2019, 12:39 AM
These Rey Mysterio/Andrade matches are bloody brilliant. Why hasn't Rey been performing to this level in so long.. Since like 2004 Andrade is definitely bringing the quickness in Rey back and he himself is very impressive too. I wouldn't rule Andrade out doing very well in the rumble again like the last year. He's 3rd behind Drew and Seth to win as well. Not that he will ofc.
Drew hopefully will be close to the record of eliminations. I dunno if he'll break it but they've built him up as a machine this year that I'd be surprised if his elimination count is very low.
Posted by: Houdini 27th January 2019, 05:50 PM
My Royal Rumble predictions:
Rusev beats Shinsuke Nakamura
The Miz & Shane McMahon beat The Bar
Ronda Rousey beats Sasha Banks
Asuka beats Becky Lynch
Daniel Bryan beats AJ Styles
Buddy Murphy retains the Cruiserweight Championship
Brock Lesnar beats Finn Balor
Becky Lynch wins the Women's Royal Rumble
Seth Rollins wins the Men's Royal Rumble
Posted by: Houdini 28th January 2019, 05:15 AM
Rusev beats Shinsuke Nakamura
The Miz & Shane McMahon beat The Bar
Ronda Rousey beats Sasha Banks
Asuka beats Becky Lynch
Daniel Bryan beats AJ Styles
Buddy Murphy retains the Cruiserweight Championship
Brock Lesnar beats Finn Balor
Becky Lynch wins the Women's Royal Rumble
Seth Rollins wins the Men's Royal Rumble
I only got Rusev's match wrong in my predictions. It was a very predictable PPV really apart from the odd surprise, mainly Nia Jax taking R-Truth's #30 spot in the Men's Royal Rumble and eliminating Mustafa Ali before getting RKO'd by Randy Orton and 619'd by Rey Mysterio
Bobby Lashley's elimination looked like a botch which was hilarious to see
, I think the Women's rumble match was better than the Men's. Daniel Bryan Vs AJ Styles was not as good and fast paced as I thought it would be before tonight.
Posted by: Rob S~ 7th February 2019, 12:52 PM
After the past week I'd say they should turn Ronda heel, there's no way they are going to cheer her against the uber popular Becky so it's only logical.. Although it does appear that WWE are still going to add Charlotte what I don't understand is why they couldn't have Charlotte have her unfinished match with Ronda at Fast Lane and then she loses and builds up a wrestlemania rematch with Asuka instead because Asuka currently has no opponent leading to Wrestlemania (or the next two ppvs for that matter). Ideally Ember would be a good match for Asuka however she's now out of action so they are going to be scrambling for legitimate contenders for the smackdown women's title!
Charlotte v Asuka would be acceptable for mania though as long as Charlotte loses.
That way we can have Ronda v Becky one on one just how we want it!
Posted by: TheGrinch 15th February 2019, 09:22 AM
Undertaker is at Starrcade the same day as AEW 'Double Or Nothing' :eyes:.
I can honestly see AEW doing incredibly well in the ratings against WWE, their owner has more money than McMahon's and I can see a lot of big names joining AEW due to bitterness if I'm being honest. They have some huge names in Cody Rhodes, Chris Jericho, Young Bucks and Kenny Omega (who turned WWE down recently for AEW). I can see Dean Ambrose joining possibly along with CM Punk and a lot of underrated WWE superstars who don't believe they're being pushed to their full potential (Uso's, Revival etc). AEW is also offering big money for superstars apparently (Randy Orton) and it seems like WWE are panicking by offering much larger paychecks which could work against them in the future.
Posted by: Rob S~ 19th February 2019, 06:11 PM
The women's chamber easily the match of the night. Seems Carmella being eliminated first has got something to do with the Corey Graves news tho.
Sonya and Mandy are surely future champions imo!
Posted by: Houdini 19th February 2019, 06:55 PM
4 of the best wrestlers on NXT have been called up it seems to the main roster. Ricochet, Johnny Gargano, Tommaso Ciampa & Aleister Black all wrestled and won their matches on Raw last night. I don't have a good feeling about them being called up and they were giving very little build before arriving as well. Those 4 are easily the heart and soul of NXT and produce great matches on a regular basis but they could get ruined on the main roster, the crowd didn't seem to care much about them either.
Posted by: Rob S~ 25th February 2019, 12:15 PM
and all 4 of them are in action this week again currently in tag matches against The Bar and Rusev/Nakamura respectively.
Roman returns to Raw tonight and its looking like it should be a good sign at the very least based on his trainers report.
TJP, Tye Dillinger and Hideo Itami also released along with Arn Anderson too.
Posted by: Rob S~ 26th February 2019, 05:29 PM
Batista and Reigns both returning. Really happy news for Roman. I guess you could say he really is a superman!
Not much announced for Fastlane but Batista v Triple H is definitely happening at wrestlemania
Posted by: Wall 20th March 2019, 10:00 AM
The hype for this Wrestlemania is absolutely dreadful. I honestly think they need to cut Fastlane because all momentum right now is gone.
Current Wrestlemania Card:
Universal Championship Match: Brock Lesnar v Seth Rollins (WWE truly need to stop with pushing Lesnar as the World Champ, he's ruining the WWE championship and by him not being around it leaves the WWE incredibly limited and they can't push this match to it's full potential, this match is supposed to be the main event but I'm beyond uninterested in this feud. Seth needs to win but I can see Brock taking the championship to Smackdown Liv
RAW WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP: Ronda Rousey © vs. Charlotte Flair vs Becky Lynch (I'm still interested in this mainly due to the fact that it could main event wrestlemania but I think WWE
NO HOLDS BARRED: Triple H vs. Batista (Should be a fun match but again with Batista very limited on appearances, it makes it less effective)
RETIREMENT MATCH: Kurt Angle vs. Baron Corbin (Could not care about)
Shane McMahon vs. The Miz (Miz deserves better)
AJ Styles vs. Randy Orton (kinda hyped for this match but feel it could be disappointing)
WWE CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP Buddy Murphy © vs. Tony Nese (pre-show)
WWE UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP Samoa Joe © vs. Rey Mysterio (Nope)
Smackdown championship match will probably see Kofi defeating Bryan which will be iconic but I can see his title reign being short. Two title matches and number one contendership for SDL womens championship with sonya v mandy v Carmella v niomi
hype.

Not me personally but I know Jon met Lita a few years ago!
Yeah this wrestlemania really is underwhelming
I'll still be looking f forward but it's gonna be out of habit really just because it's wrestlemania.It's not just the wrestlemania build though wwe creative is really shit right now. The builds, having Balor win the IC title only to lose it back to Lashley very fast. Asukas treatment is appalling. The booking of the tag titles picture is still pretty naff as well. I like the ricochet/aleister team though.
Legit the only things caring about right now are the Becky and Ronda stuff, aforementioned nxt teams on main roster & kofi storyline. Everything else is really sub par right now. I think the writers need to learn how to use their champions and create meaningful stories/title reigns and use of talent!
Posted by: Jonjo 29th March 2019, 07:59 PM
They don't realise that they can have more than one storyline at a time across each brand, it's starting to annoy me. I wonder if they're quietly changing things (as in new writers and stuff) backstage, hence a huge mess in the storylines?
They clearly want the WWE 4HW to walk out of Mania with the belts and maybe start to plant the seeds for the 4HW v 4HW storyline? Which I wouldn't mind, I just hate the way it was booked. They should've had Asuka v Charlotte 2 at Mania and had just Becky v Ronda in the main event. It was THAT simple lol. Nobody wanted a triple threat with Charlotte in the first place!
Also, I'm not a Kofi fan, but they've handled his story really well! I can see Big E turning on him v soon though.
Posted by: troylovesmusic 2nd April 2019, 10:27 PM
That segment with the women on RAW was CRAZY so over the top and entertaining at the same time I loved it . Really got me hyped for the triple threat at Wrestlemania which I’m sure will be good . Also despite how it’s been booked in places I definitely think Charlotte was needed in this match despite what others think . It’s the first ever women’s Main Event at Mania and she’s one of the top if not THE top performer in women’s division. She will also bring the high risk spots and exciting moves to the match that neither Becky or Ronda in particular have in there Arsenal .

Former WWE star Ashley Massaro has died at the age of 39 after being taken to hospital from her home in Long Island.

Apparently the UK TV rights for WWE are moving to BT Sport. Although confirmed yet.

Looks like the WWE is about to have some other competition with All Elite Wrestling, with AEW having apparently signed Chris Jerico, Cody and Dustin Rhodes, Jon Moxley (aka Dean Ambrose), and former announcer Jim Ross.

I don't know if Ambrose will join AEW tbh.

I remember being so happy when Ashley won the Divas search. Couldn't tell if I was expecting her to actually win but I was hoping in my mind that she'd win because she was my favourite of the lot. She wasn't the best wrestler or anything (clearly not her fault as no opportunity to train as mentioned in that letter) but she seemed to be very vibrant, had a cool look and nice personality.
This is really awful and surreal to hear. I feel for her daughter

Sad news about Ashley Massaro, I don't really have much memories of her in WWE but 39 is way too young for her to go. I hope it wasn't suicide but whatever caused it surely must not have been natural.
About AEW they have their first Pay Per View next Saturday called "Double Or Nothing". It will be interesting to see how that company does and what effect they will have on WWE. WWE's Money In The Bank event is this weekend and I expect Drew McIntyre to win the briefcase.

Predicting Mandy (ideally Ember) and Drew to win MITB.

Apparently this is going to be shown on ITV Box Office.

AEW All Or Nothing is tonight. I'm very interested and excited to see if this delivers from all the hype or not! Tye Dillinger has joined the and still several spots left for the battle Royal. Hope they get some more well known names in.
Posted by: Wall 25th May 2019, 02:34 PM
I can honestly see a couple of big names appearing tonight.

Who knew Cardi B was a WWE fan 😯

Eric Bischoff and Paul Heyman made executive directors of Raw and Smackdown. Really wishing for this to help fix the mediocrity thats going on with WWE right now. The wild card rule is rubbish and contradicts the 4 person limit and the pushing of Shane, Lacey and Baron needs to be scaled back a lot too.
Since the shakeup we haven't seen AOP, Buddy Murphy, Sarah Logan, Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan, Mickie James, Cedric Alexander on TV at all (Cedric briefly for 24/7 title stuff) and the likes of Rusev, Ali, Shinsuke, Finn, Randy, Robert Roode, among some more barely have TV time atm either all because of the same faces on both shows :/
Also what's the point of having the likes of Finn and Iconics as champions if they aren't featured or lose 90% of the time? No logic and doesn't help the guys or girls have an sort of legitimate run with the championships...
Pulling for the executive stuff to mend some things but this is WWE in 2019 so might be wishful thinking!

Smackdown is basically a replay of Raw these days which is a shame as Smackdown was the best main roster show a few months ago. The wildcard rule is such a terrible idea and it's weird how The Miz is being booked to look like someone who can't beat Shane McMahon or even get the upper hand on him. NXT is still the best thing about WWE as a whole right now and having Adam Cole as the NXT champion is a recipe for a lot of really good matches and storylines.
AEW's 2nd PPV Fyter Fest is taking place this Saturday, if Double Or Nothing is anything to go by it should be an entertaining event. It will be interesting to see how Jon Moxley (Dean Ambrose) will be booked in AEW.

WWE is an absolute state right now and it's such a chore to watch it.
Shane Mcmahon being provided with such a gigantic push is weird to watch and I'm beyond frustrated for The Miz, why he's not been made World Champion, I will never know. He's ready but he's just been used to push Shane further and I can't see him being Raw world champion anytime soon.
The sooner the wildcard rule ends the better, Roman Reigns has been on Raw every week which is more than his own show Smackdown.
In terms of the booking of The Icconics, it honestly infuriates me. They've giving up on the tag team championship and the women on the show, we're back to our 3/4 minute matches again. It's so disappointing to watch, I'm sure Heyman will help sort this out though.
Yeh, It's weird that Buddy Murphy, AOP or Liv Morgan, Shinuske aren't showing up on TV but I think that Rusev is over in WWE now.

AEW : Well the Moxley / Janela match was crazy mad and entertaining. Truly hardcore! I guess you could tell from this match that it was the proper hardcore style Jon missed and got limited in WWE!
Also the chair shot to Cody apparently was a gimmicked chair that shouldn't have cut him open like that but damn that sold Shawn Spears as a bad ass heel for me.
The matches with the Young Bucks were entertaining even if I do find them a tad overrated.
WWE : Agreed Lee, that's the big problem, it's just so tedious and boring right now.
No one seems to make anything interesting go on in WWE. They had Miz start off good as a baby face and it was better than his 12-13 run but have butchered it just like everything else right now by booking as a complete and utter loser who can't get one victory over Shane :/
Posted by: Rob S~ 9th July 2019, 08:21 PM
Iconics were supposed to face The Bellas after Wrestlemania hence why they aren't defending much at all since!
Posted by: Jonjo 23rd August 2019, 11:49 PM
I keep rewatching Sasha's return 😭😭😍😍😍😍
My fave RAW moment since she won the womens championship in the falls count anywhere match and possibly since her, Becky & Charlotte debuted.
