I thought Dominik serving time was the worst thing that'd happen with the Guerrero kids.

Errr.... Viva La Raza?
It's a cursed lineage the day Hector put on the turkey suit.
This MJF segment just cements that he should be the biggest wrestling superstar of all time.
AEW AT WEMBLEY STADIUM. FUCKING LETS GOOOOo.
May 5th tickets.
August 27th show, which is a Sunday before bank holiday Monday. It would be rude not to go.

Premier Inn booked.

Wembley is incredibly optimistic. Are they going to go low prices to try and fill it reasonably well, or high prices to ensure they cover the booking fee if they only draw 25k?
I can't go that weekend, which is a bit of a shame.
When they say Wembley Stadium do they mean Wembley Arena?
Anyway, other than that, Dynamite was actually great and it wasn't because of the wrestling moves, shockingly.
Great angle to introduce Jay White and set up a match with Ricky Starks (fuck yeah). MJF is just amazing. They're actually doing squashes with BCC which is Wrestling 101 in how to build bad ass heels but it seems like a novelty in this promotion. Danielson killed Page which I'm on board for. AND A GREAT STORY (well it wasn't but at least they tried) in the main event with the Gunns trying to get disqualified to banish FTR.
If AEW was coming nearby I'd probably go but Wembley is a total pain in the hole for me for numerous reasons. Pretty cool though.
Imagine being stuck in London at 1am because Tony hasn't managed his time properly again?Originally Posted by Ian
Not even in London, at Wembley, out in what may as well be the sticks for the time it takes.
Sometimes it feels as if Shahid Khan told Tony he can have a wrestling company for five years only so he's getting as much in as soon as he can. Extra show! Extra Youtube show! Extra extra Youtube show! Video game maybe! Tournaments and battle royals ahoy! A tiny green space alien named Ozmodiar that only Homer can see! Title after title after title after title! A show called All Access where they can't talk about the CM Punk thing! Big stadium show!
I think they'll either sell Wembley or come close because we don't get too many visits from big shows. If they were doing the Jaguars stadium though, not sure
That's a tough one though given even the Jaguars barely fill that half the time.
Given daddy owns Wembley stadium, I'd say it actually being the stadium makes that way more feasible.When they say Wembley Stadium do they mean Wembley Arena?
This is one hell of an acid test for what kind of audience they can pull though.
I think it will sell fine.
There are a lot of wrestling fans in the UK and the majority are marks who will lap up Cocaine Tony and his bullshit.

Well you would think someone who is involved at board level in three different sports would have had the foresight to do some groundwork to establish how many ticket sales they can expect, because bypassing the arenas and going straight to the 90,000 seater stadium for your first show is a hell of a leap.
But then again, did anyone see the announcement? I've seen those eyes before and it's usually in the toilets of my local pub.
I'm surprised WWE didn't book Wembley for MITB.
The O2 is fucking tiny and they sold out Cardiff easily.
Scheduling. It's booked for Def Leppard when MITB is on, and the only time it's available is Summerslam time.
Fair enough.
I guess scheduling also ruled out Spurs and any other stadiums that would be willing to host it.
Tottenham has Beyoncé and Red Hot Chili Peppers over the summer.
Is this a meme? Because I've seen it alluded to a lot.
Does Khan own Wembley? I thought that ended up going nowhere in the end.

For fuck's sake of course they did.
Looks like the TV companies want a proper brand split back again because THE DRAFT is back in a few weeks.
I see Reigns isn’t at the next PPV. Cunt has been part time for about 5 years.
Don't you worry Waff, Vince'll have him back to being a babyface who main events PPVs even if he doesn't have the title just as soon as he's scoped out the current roster and fired them all.
And then he'll get cancer again.
I’ve decided to jump back into NJPW now that they have no crowd restrictions. Sakura Genesis earlier today, absolutely brilliant show. Had a feel of one of the old Dominion shows that was just great match after great match.
Haven't watched NJPW in a few years now. Just checked the results from the PPV and was surprised to see Sanada win the title off Okada. Is he worthy of that, do you think? Back when I was watching he had quite a languid style that didn't sit right with some and seemed to be a glass ceiling for him.
Also, what does Shota look like nowadays? Always thought he looked like a future star when he was a young lion.
I’m not a huge SANADA fan but it’s a good payoff for him finally beating Okada after losing something like nine in a row in the past few years. I fully expect it to be a short reign, Okada win it back, then a big coronation for Ospreay at Wrestle Kingdom next year.
Shota looked money in his young lion days but doesn’t seem like a star yet.
Sanada never getting a title was always supposed to be down to him only ever signing short contracts, and what with him not being a NJ dojo guy was always seen as a bit of an outsider.
It’s certainly a big thing in New Japan still. I think if you don’t include the MMA guys Inoki tried to reinvent the wheel with, Ibushi was the first non-homegrown Japanese World champion, with SANADA now being the second.
I'm not ready to admit I was wrong, far from it, but maybe there's legs in this Cody chase yet. The crowd seem to be still with him and he did another great promo last night. We're now going to get Cody vs. Brock and if Brock puts him over clean as a whistle then this might all pay off after all when he beats the 1000 day champion later in the year.
That sounds like it was a much better show last night. Only bit I've seen is the Cody promo and as you say, it's really good. Crowd are still very into it so there's still a chance they haven't beefed this.
Also interesting to me that Riddle now seems to be a part of the KO/ Sami / Usos part of things.
Riddle needs put down immediately
I'm with Waff, Riddle should be nowhere near the top of the card and, especially, that storyline.
It'd be weird if they put him there but his only character trait was still "weed." But the man is capable of great matches so if they've decided to make him an actual human then I'm not against it.
If they haven't then he won't be there long anyway, he'll just be there to get murdered by Solo.
Riddles strength was always his match quality and that thing he does with his flip flops, the former is a bit pointless for WWE so he's relying on a creative way of taking off his shoes and his double act with the currently crocked Randall Keith.
Konnan and Rey Mysterio have told El Hijo del Vikingo to tone down his ring style
Not only have I told him, I had Rey Mysterio tell him. He already needs a knee operation and Rey has had 14, so I told him to talk to Rey and Rey's giving him very good advice because I want that guy to last. He's talented and he's a good kid.

That Jeff Hardy pop.
I'm a twit
They need to dead this BCC vs The Elite storyline now. Never seen a Dynamite crowd so dead (women’s matches excluded) as they were for Mox & Claudio. So bad. Kenny completely carrying the whole thing.
I'm a twit
Who knew trying to attack a wrestler with a screwdriver wouldn’t draw?
Daniel Bryan was at his best there when he was kicking heads in and laughing at the local sports team. Turning him psycho in a group named for a current WWE employee with Wheeler Uta behind him trying to look all mean feels like such a waste
Imagine bringing Jeff hardy back again…
Guy should have been forced out of the business over a decade ago. Guess it won’t stop until he kills someone.
Agree wholeheartedly with the last two posts.
Punk rumours hotting up again. Imagine Baz’s face when he drops £500 for a ringside ticket and it ends up being Punk in the main event.
