let him in
It's unlikely to affect my enjoyment of Raw.
It's more the fact that they assured the fans that BRAND SPLIT MEANS BRAND SPLIT. Lasted a long time...
Surely no-one believes a word they say anymore.
Let me guess, they touted matches prior to the draft as the 'last chance to see these match-ups!' despite Survivor Series being round the corner and drafts being a semi-regular thing. They make all this shit up as they go along, it's just the next thing to shout breathlessly at the viewers in an attempt to make it seem more exciting than it is.
WWE announced an additional stipulation to the scheduled Falls Count Anywhere Match between Universal champion Seth Rollins and “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt at Crown Jewel later this month. Per the announcement, the match “can’t be stopped for any reason,” which you can see below.
I wonder how they'll end up stopping it.
Saudi Prince giving the ref a mountain of gold is my bet.
The Fiend sees a bunch of Saudi businessmen in the front row staring at their phones, realises the futility of it all, unmasks and actually takes up a career in presenting kids TV.
Does “for any reason” include pins and submissions?
Yes, they have to fight for all of eternity into the afterlife.
Redoing spots is bad enough but redoing entire matches is ridiculous.
That Janela v Omega match was insane.
Minoru Suzuki leaving for NOAH apparently. ZSJ Gun?
NXT was pretty solid again. Dunne / Priest was good, Lee / Dijakovic are still having great matches despite doing them so regularly and I'm looking forward to their triple threat with Strong next week. I assume that we're getting set up for UE vs. a collective of people at WarGames.
NJPW America to form and run 24 for shows in America next year. Lol
Only 2 years too late cobbers.

Pentagon is a great wrestler for many reasons but who knew one of them was the way he pronounces 'Lucha-saurus'.
Him and his brother are such a big deal AEW.
Why not just have them do a HIAC ooooh that's right.Quote:

Or it'll just be a segment on Firefly Fun House where they hold Rollins and Lynch's wedding there. And everybody hugs.
I realize it would never happen but it would be cool if Bray, in the midst of all of his weirdness, decided to flip Bayley into one of his minions considering she's doing this cut up all the inflatable dolls thing.
So she "let's him in" to "find her true potential" and just goes full psychotic.
It would sorta fit with the theme, right? Bayley's hug phase = firefly fun house.. Bayley's dark turn = the fiend.
idk.
While he was still doing the cult leader thing they really needed him to turn somebody who didn't just immediately turn back (or be hanging around as part of a plan like Keith.)
Because they were never going to have him do that with I'd have taken him off screen for ages and then had him build up a jobber army off screen, people slowly aligning for unknown reasons and not actually being good but dominating for a bit by weight of numbers. Something like that.
And then have them all lose to John Cena or Roman Reigns, obviously.

I assume this is all build-up bluster because I think we all know Boatman isn't going to be allowed to risk doing him any actual harm.
EDIT: Lol at Fox asking WWE fans on Twitter to stop chanting "What."
It's almost like the fans weren't enjoying the entirely pointless Jerry Lawler hosting a bit about the entirely pointless love triangle storyline.
Another Battle Royale for the Saudis (20 man) with the winner getting a shot at AJ's US title later in the night.
Mansoor to pull double duty winning the Royale, beating Cesaro and then AJ :drool:
The Princes will rejoice from behind their phones in their armchairs.
AEW tonight :drool:
I hope Omega has his AAA title with him.
Scorpio Sky is going to be a star.
Jack Gallagher on NXT last night. *gasp* I would not be against them using him more often.
I think the decision to have Cameron Grimes get a load of quick wins then run into Riddle and lose is a bit odd but I'll reserve judgement until I see it. Also looking forward to that main event. :cool:
Prince Devitt is back :drool:
That kick from Balor was so beautiful. ‘Pele’ kick or whatever they call it usually looks so shit.
Not a fan of Grimes. His hat is pretty weird too.Quote:

Trevor Lee is very good but I cannot take him seriously as Cameron Grimes, it's such an epically bad name.
It is not a good name at all.
It manages to make a worse overall wrasslin' name than one containing 'Trevor' which is some going.
DDP is 63 years old, watch him as he lopes across that arena and takes the stairs two at a time. The man is ridiculous.
The benefits of starting in your 30's, kids.
DDP. :cool:
I should rewatch his Goldberg match again.

Adam Rose is jacked now.
His wife must be delighted.
Vince is calling him nonstop too.
Raw and SmackDown's British numbers aren't always circulated in wrestling media so this makes for some interesting reading. Per the report, the 14 October Raw drew 38,000, down 10,000 from the previous week's show featuring Tyson Fury, who is a huge star in his home country. The 18 October SmackDown compelled 23,000 to tune in. Then, on 21 October, Raw drew just 3,000 viewers.
3,000. That is not an error.
This number is so low that Meltzer claims "people thought it was a computer glitch," but the data has since been confirmed legitimate. Naturally, people within WWE and Sky (their broadcaster) are stunned.
For context, Impact wrestling's 18 October episode had 77,000 viewers in the United Kingdom, which is approximately ten times their usual average in the US. AEW Dynamite, meanwhile, did a whopping 232,000 on ITV on 14 October.
RAW is dead here.
Does viewing figures include people recording or just live viewers?
I'm curious as to whether me winding through it in an hour, if I bother at all, contributes to that.
Also it's fine, I remember it's going to BT soon. That'll rake in the viewers.

I can't remember the last time I watched RAW or Smackdown, even truncating it after a recording.
I saw one recent article expressing surprise that SD "only" got 30k. I'd be interested to see a proper set of figures.
I don't plan on watching SD but why are they burying Gulak HARD?
The guy is seriously talented and they've taken him back to his shit PowerPoint persona whilst getting squashed by fucking Kalisto.
Vince must have spotted him and detested his good-at-wrestling flaw. See also: Gable being dressed like a child this week.
In better news, NXT was really good. I really enjoyed Ripley vs. Belair as it had a bit of a different dynamic to most WWE womens matches because of the power of the two of them and the main event was an absolute treat.
"his PowerPoint gimmick went down badly with 205 Live viewers but it's bound to work now!"

Rey Mysterio asked the kids to chant “d*** sucker” to Baron Corbin (i loved this part but everyone were mostly extremely uncomfortable looking at their kids and Rey got booed).
Rey turning heel.
lol at that racist t-shirt stuff.
I mean the shirt seems kinda shortsighted?
“Albert Hardie Jr. (aka Jordan Myles) approved this t-shirt for sale. As always, we work collaboratively with all of our performers to develop logos and merchandise designs and get their input and approval before proceeding. This was the same process with Albert, and we responded swiftly once he later requested that the logo/t-shirt be redesigned. No t-shirts were sold.”
Shots fired.
