    NJ camera work is so much better that I struggle to watch WWE matches these days, the constant cuts and camera jumps are almost nauseating.
    The cinematic match between Adam Cole and Velveteen (there was no need for a cinematic ffs) has to be the worst I can remember. There seemed to a cut/jump every second.

    Kevin Dunn needs hoofed into a meat grinder.

    The amount of times they actively miss stuff because of his insistence on jumping is unreal.

    He should have been punted for missing Edge's first spear back in the Rumble.

    I unintentionally tuned in to watch Raw to see the legends were back, Randy Orton portraying the Legend Killer again (kind of) but I fell asleep. What's the crack with Mark Henry? Is his leg legit fucked?

    Probably just had surgery on his ankle/foot and would rather use a scooter than crutches.

    Fair enough. Just seeing him reminded took me back a little and his stints. To go from a nobody in the NoD, to a relative joke in Sexual Chocolate then a bonafide main-eventer with the Hall of Pain stuff, probably one of my favourites at that point. I liked the character.

    Looking back at the thread, did HHH actually return, Mahow?

    He wasn't a nobody in NoD, although it was clearly a faction to push Farooq and then later The Rock. He was hyped quite a bit just before the Nation stuff too because of his Strongman career.

    He did. I didn't watch it but they had a Street Fight, Triple H's sledgehammer caught on fire then the lights went out. When they came back on HHH was gone and Alexa Bliss then threw a fireball into Randy's eyes...

    It was barely even a street fight, there was no ref it was just a very brief brawl and then sledgehammer stuff happened which was shite but I did genuinely laugh at. I assume that wasn't the desired reaction.

    Also I watched NXT over the weekend the debut of MSK / The Rascalz was WWE's usual weirdness in terms of how they spoke about them. But they were talking up MSK's debut as if it was this big shock thing but as per didn't acknowledge any of their non-WWE work. So they're talking about them like they're this big exciting debut and that they totally know who they are but not from where or why, because of course they've changed the names for no reason.

    Still, they seemed fun in that debut match. MSK vs. Grizzled Young Veterans final could be fun if they go down that route which seems like they might.

    Latest Goto promo he talks about Jay White. Chances of him going back to CHAOS?

    I feel like this prepping for a face turn rather than him leaving, it's talked about a lot on comms and they're advertising him for future shows. Probably for the best, there's a few too many chiefs in BC at the moment.

    That has to be some kind of collaboration, NJ lawyers are normally super hot on protecting their IP (rip Showbuckle and his really good fued summary videos) so for them to do that on TV suggests something is going on.

    Quite aside from how untidy the actual bump is (I assume she's meant to take more of the bump on her arse?) that's a bit like the Red Arrow insofar as my brain can't quite parse the string of movements that makes that happen.

    I've not checked any of their stuff out yet.

    Is it quite visual or would it work as a listen along while I work?

    There's a 2001 Rumble one popped up on my suggested Youtube videos so I might give that a bash.

    The bloke who does all the videos is easily the best at what he does. IMO

    His monday night war series is a cracker.

    The Network(only $9.99!) is done. To be shut down in the USA at the very least after Vince sold it off.

    Considering he sells TV rights for similar numbers frequently, no chance (in hell).

    Given that the network constituted a massive reduction in PPV revenue this is not that surprising.

    I wonder what they'll do with other countries.

    I would hope they keep the Network up but they could always fold it and go back to PPV only.

    I wonder what happens to the archive, if you live in the states then I can't see (whoever has bought the online rights) giving much of a shit about it. Which is a shame for anyone wanting to watch older stuff.

    I did read that they intend to reveal the first two and final entrants on some talk show thing before the Rumble. Have I been misled or do they just not give a shit anymore?

    They probably consider Fox ratings more important than PPV viewers these days, especially now they've already rinsed NBC for Network rights.

    Why are AEW having Shaquille O'Neal in a match? Does that sort of "get a random celeb in" do much to shift the ratings these days? Especially given it's not exactly comparable to when WWE got Tyson or Arnie, is it?
