    You tend to get matches based on current TV feuds, but it's non-canon otherwise. It tends to be a bit more free and loose as they're just there for the live crowd though.

    Will I see cool non-PG stuff and moves? It's not even so much the money as the fact that the idea of sitting in a half empty Geneva Arena sounds depressing.

    Surely they're not charging that if they don't think they'll fill it?

    I just checked their prices and they're asking the same as both Nickelback, Iron Maiden and some hairy fuckers called Nightwish so maybe they just assume (probably rightly) that no-one here has any taste.

    To be fair, I like WWE (sort of), Iron Maiden and the Nickelback stuff that came out when I was a yoof and I wouldn't pay £80 for any of them. But maybe that just means I don't have the disposable wealth to back up questionable taste.

    Anyway, I'm just watching Smackdown (by which I mean mostly winding through it) and it really is impressive how they've managed to make the presentation of WWE even worse. Constant picture-in-picture interviews during matches, even more 'people watching backstage' bits (they just had one that caused us to miss an attack the commentators made a big deal of), those shitty sort-of-subtitles through video promos.

    It's just awful and I bet a lot of it is Kevin Dunn's idea.

    Just finished 205 and they really have done well with the Cruiserweight tournament, can't think of a bad match that has been thrown up in it.

    As for the rest I thought Hiromu looked great again and I really enjoyed the Naito / Taichi match. Plus of course my man Suzuki who I could watch forever. Roll on Friday and the start of the NJ Cup.
    It would be amazing if they let Suzuki take the belt off Okada, Im constantly flip flopping in who the 2nd and 3rd guys are in NJPW. Naito reminds me of Austin and heel Shaun Micheals. He is the one out the top tier Jap grappers that could.get over in WWE. He is well over in ROH.

    Hiromu is such a brilliant lunatic.

    Yeah, there's a captioned video of his promo and there's some right belters in there.

    The car crash is a great one and also when he threatens to "kill every bastard" in the crowd when they won't calm down. He's just the best, basically.

    Meltzer reckons HHH / Steph vs. Angle / Rousey might end up as the main event. It's about time Stephanie got her long-deserved Wrestlemania main event.

    Unless they package it together alongside the shitfest that is Boo Reigns-Bork Lesnar.

    When's Taker poking his head out then?

    He's not, he's done.

    NXT wasn't as great as it usually is but I did like the Ciampa promo, it was something different and you really got the full crowd reaction.

    Also, Black Mass might be my favourite finisher right now. It's so simple and Aleister sells it so well, the sound it puts out is cracking too.

    Oh and Dunne/Cole is a fucking great match to make.

    Apparently Marty Scurl v Pete Dunne has been booked by an indy promotion in Canada. First time they will wrestle each other.

    British Wrestling is so fucking good at the moment.

    I don't think they'd have had Cena reference an Undertaker challenge if they weren't planning something. They'd either not mention it entirely or do some kind of trolling.

    So how does Taker signify his retirement this time around? Does he just ride his bike back up the ramp?

    I assume it's to do with his match with Naito this morning (no spoilers, I'm still watching todays show), first round of the New Japan Cup.

    Elgin / Ishii and Juice / Yujiro have been the best of the first round so far.

    Also, here's a Martin Kirby montage set to a Jason Donovan song. I don't think it gets any more appropriate than that.

    Nakamura-Styles for Mania is still on.

    Asuka has Flair which is lol really unless they merge both ladies titles (again) and be done with it. Expect Taker to poke out his head on RAW while Cenah cries himself silly that he hasn't got himself a Mania match. Oh yeah Brother Nero got done for DWI on Saturday the fucking muppet.

    Yea, Asuka Vs Charlotte absolutely had to happen. At least this way there's 1% doubt who is going to win, which there isn't with Alexa.

    I still reckon Asuka beats her, Carmella cashes in, and Asuka beats her too.

    Watching it now.

    I do like that Orton finally completed the set but it is a little shit that it was at Roode's expense as I really like him. Hopefully they give it back to him soon enough. I'm guessing they wanted to set up the Wrestlemania triple threat with Roode winning it back.

    Also, fun fact. Only Chris Jericho and Jeff Hardy have held ALL possible formats of Championships (WWE champion belt, world champion belt, World tag team, WWE tag team, Intercontinental, European and Hardcore).

    Edit: They've been building towards Asuka/Flair the whole time. Nakamura was able to say who he was going for at the fucking Rumble and then with Nia moving towards face the last week to set her up against Bliss.

    That seems like a really random list. No US title on there for a start, which would rule out Hardy.

    Old format for grand slam champions.

    US championship wasn't in the format prior to 2015.

    They're not having Carmella fail at the first ever womens cash-in, Shirley? Maybe they have Carmella switch shows too. Cash in at the end of.... Jax / Bliss? Just do a straight rip-off of the Rollins cash-in maybe.

    That show was pretty uninspiring. I thought the pre-match video piece for the tag match was one of the best they've done in ages, saw that New Day obviously weren't winning as soon as Big E wasn't in their line-up and then rolled my eyes at the Bludgeon Brothers interrupting. Though hopefully, if BB are wrestling for the belts at Mania, it's at least a triple threat. Usos and New Day should both be on the card.

    I really wish that they had the Bludgeon wankers come in after the match.

    It was shaping up really nicely (I loved that they were trying to show how much they know each other by imitating finishers) and then they ruined it completely.

    I just started on the main event (my Google feed ruined it) and having Cena lob AA's around to start

    I get why they did that to have Cena/Styles for a bit but why does it always have to be Cena turning God mode on?

    Carmella's contract was outright stated to be for the Smackdown Women's Championship, and there isn't a chance in hell she's beating Asuka, so her losing is the only real way out of it. There were rumbling a while back it would happen at Mania as a way to still give her a "moment" because she knew she'd have to lose either way. That could easily be bullshit, but to me it's the most logical way out.

    They could of course play the "WWE fans don't remember what happened 5 minutes ago" card and have her go to RAW, but that would be even worse.

    How long does it last? The day before the next Money in the Bank?

    Regardless of when though, they'd have to have her beat Asuka which just isn't happening.

    That makes sense as it was a Smackdown PPV, now you say it.

    WWE fucking the end of Asuka's streak on Carmella would not surprise me at all. Not because I think it's a good idea, but because I don't have faith in them to do the end of the streak justice when it comes.

    They'll just build up to some "super-match" with Rousey I suppose. Although maybe not I suppose if she's on Smackdown now because there's not a chance Rousey gets switched off Raw any time soon.

    Yea it's normally one year from whenever it was won, so probably the day before the next MITB.

    They could conceivably have someone else end THE STREAK between 'Mania and MITB and Carmella successfully cash in.

    It's possible, but I wouldn't do it. I would keep the streak for a big PPV, maybe even next year's Mania against Rousey. It's just not worth throwing away all this build up just for Carmella. That would be like having someone go undefeated for years only to lose to Kevin Nash and a taser.
