It already happened. He’s the best man.
Just finished up NXT. Unfortunately I had the Cole/Balor result ruined for me although I still felt that the match could have been a lot better (I also hated the commentators creaming themselves that no one had kicked out of a Coup de Grace which isn't true).
Bronson Reed/Theory was decent in parts and I did like Ripley/Martinez.
Ruined for you? There was absolutely no way Cole was winning that anyway, behave yourself.

I like the sound of that.
Not sure about the rounds but I barely watch NXT UK anyway so it doesn't make much difference.
Over/Under 0.5 matches before they have a tie after 6 rounds and no one has a clue what to do.
Sasha Banks in The Mandalorian, eh.
I hope when she first appears Maggle is heard squawking IT'S BOSS TIME.
I just love the idea of that RAW main event:
“If you can beat the champion then you can face the champion for the title but only if the guy who is actually going to face him isn’t physically able to.”
What a load of bollocks.
I don't think anything can ever top Shane McMahon wanting the company because he has info to blackmail his dad who still manages to force him into a match against the Undertaker to earn it, lose, get his power anyway and never mention the dirt again anyone
It will stay in THE LOCKBOX.
Undertaker being Vince's lapdog for a month for further unexplained reasons was mental about that as well.
In other news I'm working my way through last week's NXT and O'Shango / Cole has sprung a very pleasant surprise by not being really annoying.
My favourite shit-era storyline has to be the 'Anonymous Raw GM'
THEY HAD A SECRET LAPTOP BOOKING THE SHOW FOR A YEAR AND JUST DROPPED IT.Mr. McMahon first unveiled the Anonymous Raw General Manager on the June 21, 2010 episode of RAW, after firing the previous general manager, Bret Hart. While Michael Cole often acted as the spokesperson, the Anonymous Raw General Manager once used a computerized voice when it was interviewed by Edge on The Cutting Edge. The interview ended with Edge destroying the General Manager's laptop. The Anonymous General Manager controlled Raw until July 2011, when it was phased out in favor of COO Triple H and Vice President of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis without its identity ever being revealed.
Fine. I could take that, and I could take going back and 'revealing' it to have been Hornswoggle on the RAW 1000 episode you also made a giant hand that Mae Young birthed a living human being.
And then...
Fucking hell.At Survivor Series, The Authority, who had previously held power in WWE, were deposed. The following night, Raw closed with the Anonymous General Manager's familiar e-mail noise, followed by Michael Cole's reading of an e-mail in which the Anonymous General Manager promised to bring "order" back to WWE. The identity of this general manager remains unknown, an article on WWE.com questioned its gender and the possibility of it being Hornswoggle again. Heading into 2015, the laptop disappeared again with The Authority taking over again.
Barrett is officially Mauro's replacement. He's signed a one year deal with an option to extend.
I'd have preferred it had Mauro stayed (as well as Nigel McGuinness) but I do like Barrett.
WWE love a dropped storyline. The worst thing about that era is without a shadow of a doubt Heel Cole though. Lawler's on-air heart attack was the best thing that happened to Maggle.
Surely McGuinness will be back once things are back to normal-ish?
Also I finished last week's NXT and the cage match was really good. Exactly what I hoped for out of those two.
The anonymous Raw laptop was operated remotely by Hade Vansen from his secret GTV offices.
And briefly found by the Smackdown Hacker.
I was going to bring up GTV, or indeed who killed Vince (although he did get better very quickly).
What if it was actually sentient and the laptop was acting of it's own accord?
It was merely using Michael Cole as a puppet (which he has never recovered from and only finds pleasure in saying "IT'S BOSS TIME" etc).
I like the idea of Michael Cole being a vessel for Skynet.
As long as it's revealed at the Judgement Day PPV.
By Arnold. As promotion for Terminator 8(?) which is being produced by WWE Studios. Starring HHH so he can make an entire movie out of the Wrestlemania entrance.
It's a shame that's happening on Main Event but that's a lovely finish.
For those wondering. From left to right: Mercedes Martinez, Mia Yim, Shane Thorne?, Dominik Dijakovic and Dio Maddin.
Gimp Order.
Fair play though to Dijakovic for shaving his head, growing a 'tache and attempting to go full Bane.
He is a very good wrestler hopefully this works for him at least.
I think he's brilliant. His matches with Keith Lee (especially the first when they just kept doing ridiculous spots including a fucking Spanish Fly) were incredible.
He's come a long way in his NXT run. I remember him getting squashed a couple of times as "Chris Dijak" although they did let him get some attacks in.
That fued should go all the way to a big Wrestlemania pay off.
I agree I dont know how Keith Lee and him pulled all those big moves off absolutely mental.

Er, I think you'll find that's Slapjack, T-Bar and Mace. No word on what shit Yim and Martinez are being lumbered with.
I have no opinion either way on Madden and Thorne but the other three all deserve way better than this shit. It's already dead in the water.
I watched last weeks Raw and NXT last night. Dominick might be pretty green but he doesn't do a lot wrong, though they probably need to stop this endless Rollins feud now and the stuff on Raw for that last night sounds like garbage.
Also really enjoyed most of NXT. The tag match went at a cracking pace and I thought Shirai vs. Blackheart was ace.

Slapjack, T Bar, & Mace.
Incredible.
Erm.
Oh for fuck's sake
The ultimate test, can he no-sell death?
Just Heidenreich left.
I share this here purely because I think that's an excellent fourth name for a Retribution member.
COPPEGORGE.
NXT had some good stuff on it, the main event the highlight. While O'Reilly's gradual face turn is a bit weird and prompted I'm well up for him getting some singles action. I've heard he was ace in PWG and ROH, etc.
Dreadshot. Genuinely better than any actual Retribution names.
Storm Hands.
Storm Hands will be Boatman's name if he joins.
You may now call me Stormswipe.
"Retaliation" and "Reckoning" for Yim and Martinez.
Surely you have to assume at this point that this is being intentionally set up to fail?
