You don't realise how fat Tonga Jeff is until you see him in normal clothes. It's a good job he never turned up eighteen years ago, otherwise he would have got a bowler hat and an Oddjob gimmick (still time for that, mind).
He turned up in 2003 on an episode of Heat, though. Near miss.
He wasn't a cube then.
He could have been in 2Cool as Rikishis butler. :drool:
At least they made Tonga Jeff look really strong in his debut match by having him win because of a distraction.
Though at least Reigns wasn't totally being the classic easily-distracted-WWE-babyface because Strowman was actually going to get into the ring.
WCPW true destiny tomorrow. I don't know much about a lot of these guys, but I feel like it's a decent card.
Going watching ICW again next month :D
I'm looking forward to Sabre Jr vs Banks, Ricochet vs Ospreay, the womens match and also seeing Pentagon could be interesting. Plus Kurt of course, always good.Quote:

It's about as far from wrasslin as you can get but it's still bloody impressive.
Yea, I'm mainly going for Kurt but from what I've read some of the other matches should be decent.Quote:

Well, the top rope has broken about 2 minutes into the first match so it's great start.
That was a great. Ricochets "top rope" moonsault was amazing.
I'm tempted to give the chamber PPV a go tonight but the thought of Mauro yelling "Holy mama mia" is slightly putting me off.
I've got a mate in the US who is going but I'm quietly confident I saw at least 4 matches tonight that are better than anything he will get.
There's another PPV already? Talk about over-saturation.
I wonder what the ALL-NEW Elimination Chamber entails. It's probably lowering the metal floors so they can include painfully telegraphed suicide dives.
I read that it's flat on top now, which makes it easier to assemble.
The 'bullet proof' perspex now stands up to someone knocking into it a bit.
I found the moonsault off the top rope... not sure how he isn't dead:

I'll sit down and watch it properly this week but from what I saw they adapted really well after the rope broke. What did you think of the ladder match and the women's match? Haven't had a chance to watch either yet.
I really enjoyed the ladder match, probably the second best of the night behind the opener. Women's match felt good enough but short. The only match I didn't really care for was Zack Sabre, I just found him dull.
Should point out the women's match was changed though, Nixon Newell was the challenger.
Yeah I can see how you might, he does a lot of mat based stuff which can feel a bit methodical.
They did a really good mixed tag a while back with Ospreay/Priestley vs Ricochet/Blanchard, well worth checking out.
I've seen bits of that match and it did indeed look decent. Shame Blanchard wasn't there tonight really.
I didn't realise there was a PPV tonight. Anyone fancy throwing the card up so I avoid spoilers checking myself?
Cena Vs Styles Vs Wyatt Vs Ambrose Vs Miz Vs Corbin in the chamber
Tag team turmoil with like 7 teams
Bliss Vs Naomi for the title
Nikki Vs Nattie
Mickie Vs Becky
Orton Vs Harper
Ziggler Vs Crews and Kalisto
Sod staying up for that. Cheers Browning.
Bray :drool:
Couldn't think of a more deserving guy to get the title.
My guess is it will be the ROH Bullet Club and not the dregs left in Japan.
Okada's latest title defense is a ripper!

If we don't even get Randy Orton kicking his head off out of all this then lol.
They've confirmed who it is. Adam Cole, Cody Rhodes and the Young Bucks.Quote:

Giving John Cena a two-week title reign is alright if they're going to have him break Ric Flair's record and heart at Wrestlemania, but if not it just seems they're flinging the title round for no good reason when they could have just had Styles going in as champion.
Party like it's 1999 (or whatever year it was when they did the same thing).
That's good news I'm very jealous.Quote:

A modern day legend.
Did she ever win a match?
The ALL NEW chamber is better for spots but feels less claustrophobic outside the ring because of the extra space which makes it lighter too.
Surely they're not actually going to have the IC title competed for in a singles match at 'Mania!?
Marked out for that RAW main event a little.
Gillberg. :cool:
Charlotte's going to win the title back at the next PPV only to lose her streak at Wrestlemania, by which time she'll already be a five time (five time) champion of a title that's only just turning a year old. MAKING HISTORY
My thought was they'd somehow get around having a rematch at Fast Lane (maybe do Charlotte/Dana Vs Bayley/Sasha if Sasha isn't still hurt?) and then they'd do title Vs streak at mania, but your way makes sense too. Either way, Bayley better leave Mania with the title.
She's got a few tag team wins where her partner got the winning pin, a DQ win against Layla about five years ago and she pinned Cameron in a Survivor Series match (which her team lost).Quote:

So the chamber match was pretty good I thought.
Shame the rest of the card sucked.
Orton V Harper was great I thought
Yeah I enjoyed Orton and Harper too.
Raw was decent. The outcome of the Festival of Friendship was obvious as soon as it started getting laid on so thick but I still found it very amusing. Enjoyed the main event as well.
Its outcome was obvious last week when Kevi Nowens said he 'wouldn't miss it for the world' (or whatever it was).
