Are 'they' doing it or is it Asuka just continuing it as a larger part of her gimmick? Maybe it leads to her DQ-retaining her title at some point and going, "NO TITLE LOSS. ASUKA NUMBER ONE!" for about a month.

I thought the mixed challenge whatever wasn't canon (lol storylines yeah right mate wrestling is fake bullshit etc) to the regular television tapings?
There is no such thing as "canon" so I don't know why some people keep saying that. If it's televised, it counts. Hell, a lot of non-televised stuff counts, but that's kind of a grey area I guess.
"Sky Sports reports that WWE's Greatest Royal Rumble event in Saudi Arabia will air live on Sky Sports Box Office in the UK. The event takes place on Friday, April 27th from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and will start at 5pm in the UK. WWE is expected to announce full broadcast details soon but we know that the show will air on the WWE Network and live on TV in Saudi Arabia. It looks like the show could air at 1pm EST on the WWE Network."
"Samoa Joe is expected to return to the ring soon and it looks like he will be working a WWE Universal Title feud. Current RAW plans have Joe feuding with Roman Reigns right after WrestleMania 34, according to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Reigns is scheduled to defeat current champion Brock Lesnar for the Universal Title at WrestleMania. Joe vs. Reigns is booked for the European tour of the UK and Ireland in May. Joe vs. Reigns has also been announced for the May 7th RAW in Long Island, NY, along with Braun Strowman vs. Elias."
Oh boy.
I'm fine with it counting against the streak should it be a singles match or Asuka herself gets pinned/submitted but in a tag match in which Miz is pinned/submitted goes against the streak? That's bullshit.Quote:

You're giving it far more thought than WWE ever will. They'll make it up as they go along, say whatever is most convenient at the time and then ignore it all five minutes later.
She’s only lost I think one tag match and one fatal 4 way, both on NXT house shows but has zero televised losses of any description, so losing a televised match should end the streak. What is stupid is the fact they clearly counted house show matches to get her numbers above Goldberg.
Goldbergs actual numbers or the numbers that used to jump up during each ad break?
I'm sure some of Goldberg's wins included some of Romario's goals.
Rumours swirling that Daniel Bryan will (obviously) have to step down as GM when he goes back to a full time wrestler and that WWE will replace him with Hulkamania, lol.
Both main brands being 'run' by alcoholic druggies who are always injured and care barely speak :drool:
I'd also imagine that Hogan would be a dramatic step back for THE WOMEN'S GLORIOUS REVOLUTION.
What a time to make a lol typo.Quote:

Every chance. It's only role he can do with his very, very dead knees.
He’s still got one last run at the belt, brothers!
Decided to watch last years Survivor Series as it's been mentioned quite a bit since Rousey signed.
The main event was pretty shit (but it did make me love Boatman even more, what a man) but all the others were pretty damn good.
Shield vs New Day and Bork against AJ were the clear standouts. It was a bit strange seeing Bork semi-motivated about a match.
I called the finish sequence to that match the moment it was announced. To the point that despite being sick of Brock and hoping they'd find a reason to have AJ win I was genuinely annoyed when I thought the F5 wasn't going to be a reversal of the forearm.
Young Bucks / Golden Lovers was fucking mental, it was always going to be pretty spot heavy but there was also a huge amount of story going on. Good show overall too, Okada & Ishii vs Suzuki & ZSJ set up their match really nicely, the 8-man tag with LIJ was crazy and for a 53 year old man Liger can still do it when he needs to. Ridiculous stat of the evening; when Will Ospreay was born Liger had been wrestling professionally for 9 years. Low points were the US title match which the crowd just never really got into and the terrible commentary, JR was ok but clearly not the most knowledgeable about the wrestlers and Josh Barnett was just awful.
The main event though, fucking hell. Check it out if you can find it anywhere.
Ronda Rousey's makeup was ludicrous. The red bit made it look like she has some sort of eye disease.
What a truly shit promo that was, especially when you compare it to the Miz TV segment earlier in the show.

The question is phrased badly but fucking hell.
The way Baroque Les-nar is ironing Roman Reigns out every week is only making the outcome of their match even more certain, but the match itself might have been alright had they built Reigns back up a bit beforehand. That way they could have gone back and forth for fifteen minutes and built some genuine uncertainty. They might even have been able to get some positive reactions for him (maybe not). With this build-up though you can guarantee that it will be ten minutes of suplexes and sweating before some bullshit comeback from nothing.
I've got £10 on over 9.5 spears/superman punches.
Still no Taker :D What an absolute cunt, he shouldn't be anywhere near Mania.
I was really hoping he'd pop up during the match.
The whole solo promo thing is just sad now.
Oh and I did lol at most of the crowd either cheering for Bork/not behind Roman at all. WWE really need to realise that they just can't market him as a face, people aren't ever going to get behind it.
The story of Cena only being able to get to Wrestlemania as a fan is great when you've got 25 free spaces in a battle royal that half the roster just announce themselves for. Slum it, John.
Jay Hunter's ruined Roman's moveset for me. Now all I hear is "THE BIG DAWG!"
Well it is his yard.
No, it's the Undertaker's. Roman is the Undertaker's dog. Have they tried that angle yet? Might as well see if that gets him over.
I assume unless the Undertaker reclaims ownership of the yard prior to Mania then he's run out of time to do so, legally speaking, and thus the land dispute will be settled simultaneously with the Universal championship. Taker does need to fuck off because this repeat cycle of making one poor bastard after feud themselves for the honour of facing him is such a snooze.
More importantly, whether it was his fault or Kane's, that chokeslam from Cena was properly crap.
Did like Miz TV, though. Can't make up my mind who'll be winning that one.
In other news, apparently Shane McMahon is in hospital with something nasty that will require medication and then at some point an operation which doesn't sound like he'll be good to go at Mania. I wonder who they have partner Bryan now?
Fine, we'll have a yard on a pole match.
Maybe have it 2/3 falls. First fall is Yard on a Pole, second is Universal Title then if it goes to a third it's a unique iron man match where they don't count falls but how many finishers you no-sell.
Also I'm looking at gifs of over-selling and love this one:

Nakamura has been top quality in the build up to Wrasslemania and that bit at the end was perfect.
Oh and Ian:

The Rock loved to oversell a stunner.
So much so that an Imgur album was made:

Spring-loaded Scott Hall was always a favourite.

I hated how Vince took them. Any excuse to blade but he had bother bumping.
205 was excellent again this week.
Great opener but the main event fatal four way was glorious.
205/NXT is so much better as there's so much less filler and bullshit.
HBK vs. Hogan is brilliant but that's a different sort of thing to the others posted here because Michaels was intentionally trying to dick Hogan's offence over.
Is this Wrestlemania going to hold the record for most people crammed into one card?
me and my mates got tickets to njpw manchester show :drool:
Huge night for British Wrestling. Who is watching ZSJ v Okada tonight?
They fucking gave fucking David Finlay the stunner...
Primate's retirement speech is pretty rough. :(
Will Mania up soon can I do a second free network trial?
Suzuki v Naito will be a match of the year candidate.
So long as you use a different email address you can, payment and personal details can be the exact same.
That Spainish fly too the floor is insanity.
I highly recomend Scurl v Ospraey.
I got an e-mail from Daniel Bryan himself trying to coax me back for 'Mania. Jealous, lads? Jealous?
What channel is RAW/Smackdown on in the US lads?
The USA network I believe.
It was excellent but fucking hell, I thought Ospreay was fucked when he smacked his head on the apron. There was one in the Page / White match last week too, a couple of inches either way and he would have been in a lot of trouble.Quote:

Just signed up for a second trial of the network, having got it last year. I'm all set for Mania. What's good that's been added to the network recently I should check out.
Mostly 205 Live/NXT shows if your into that.
PPV wise last year has been a bit meh but the Rumble this year has been alright if you haven't seen it yet.
