Oh. Could they not get Celtic in on the deal as well?
I'm sure Gallus have worn some kind of Celtic thing before? Maybe it wasn't on sale as well though
Real shame as I do love Rick.
He's got "Go to AEW, do well for a month and then never be seen again" vibes though.
Spot on. Tony will throw a load of money at him because he'll want to do Ricochet vs. Ospreay, then he'll be muddled into the upper midcard like Claudio.
HHH has at least had him on shows more which is what you should do with him regardless because he's just fun to watch but clearly has no intention of doing much with him.
But he's the SPEED CHAMPION mate.
If you’d told me he was Action Andretti I wouldn’t have doubted it.
I'm a twit
He's now lost the speed title to Andrade which is a good choice as it means Andrade will now mostly wrestle on Twitter.
Shame. I've enjoyed his work over the last six months or so. He's never a main eventer, though, so not sure what he thinks he will achieve with Cocaine Tony.
Dom really is winning at life. Wonder what female he’ll be attached to next to complete the heroic hat trick
Netflix era about to be wild

Suddenly I enjoy headlocks.
Love 'no disrespect to Eric' while calling him a clueless twat either side.
Disappointed at the lack of "fuck Bill Goldberg" there.
I think that was the remaining 28 minutes.
Watching NXT Battleground.
Oba Femi is a fucking star, he's a freakish GIANT.
Only 26 years old too.
Only been wrestling for about 18 months and he just seems to get it.
Just checked and he's legit Nigerian which is good as I wasn't sure if they were getting him to do an accent like Apollo Crews that time.
Best there is, best there was, best there ever will be
The powerbomb he hit on Wes Lee (who has only just returned from back surgery), after catching him doing a meteora, was incredible.
I’ve seen that clip tweeted a lot and I don’t understand what’s so impressive about it
The pop up powerbomb is whatever.I’ve seen that clip tweeted a lot and I don’t understand what’s so impressive about it
The catch (he just takes two steps back easily catching Wes Lee) and the force he slams him into the mat are impressive.
Wes Lee also sells it really well.
Also, a catch into some sort of slam is usually done via a lame crossbody or a shitty axe handle. How many times have you seen it done with a meteora?
Triggered by niko_cee mentioning watching wrestling in Sky One, what’s everyone’s first memories of wrestling?
I looked up the first match I properly remember and it was in 1989, a week before my 2nd birthday, so I obviously don’t remember watching it live, but it was a cage match between Hulk Hogan and Big Bossman where the latter ended up bleeding and it blew my mind. I remember Mike’s mates step dad was watching it.
Aside from that we either taped or, more likely, my dad brought home from work a tape of Wrestlemania IX and I must have watched the opener everytime I was off school sick, before falling asleep and missing the majority. It was Tatanka vs Shawn Michaels, outside at Caesars Palace and it looked awesome.
The event has been panned by critics and fans alike. The most frequent criticism has been related to the match between The Undertaker and Giant Gonzalez, Hulk Hogan's title win, and the Roman togas worn by announcers.
We also had some of those ‘Best Of’ compilations like Ultimate Warrior and Rick Rude but I hated them as soon as I clocked the cover star won every match on it, so I didn’t watch them after that. Another tape we did, and probably still do have, is this beast:
I can’t remember much about it, having looked it up, besides British Bulldog celebrating in the ring at the end and his music seemingly lasting forever.

I legitimately don't know. I had a Macho Man action figure as a kid and an Ultimate Warrior Wrestling Buddies pillow. It must be something New Gen because I remember Razor jobbing to 1-2-3 Kid.
The first event I remember watching was the Royal Rumble in 1998.
Friends stayed round for a sleepover and we all went to bed early before waking up to watch it live.
Obviously the Rumble stands out most but the next most vivid match in my memory? The little man 6 person tag. Was fucking wild seeing the mini luchadors.
I'm also sure I had watched wrestling before then as I knew most of the wrestlers but I imagine it was all taped.
Speaking of tapes. Last year my sister bought a VHS/DVD player as she has loads of old family VHS tapes. I was proud that so many of the collection were my old tapes of WWF. No Mercy 2004 being one of them.
I think it might be Austin throwing the IC title in the river, so that would be just after Montreal Screwjob.
My oldest vivid memory of something was when the Invasion lot take over a RAW and there's brawls everywhere and ring is packed. Cut to the parking lot, Austin pulls up and starts battering the piss out of anything that moves on his path to the ring. Crowd are frothing at the mouth by the time the glass shatters and everyone goes nuts.
I have bits and pieces from earlier but nothing as vivid.
Brock Lesnar breaking the ring or Eddie winning the title off of him
My nan had Sky and taped the 92 Royal Rumble for my older brother. I ended up watching it with him and couldn't believe that "a granddad" won
All downhill from there, best PPV ever.
tbf Ric was born looking like a Granddad.
Summerslam 90 is the first I properly remember seeing, I must have rewatched it so many times I could recite most of the commentary.
I can recite the commentary from King of the Ring 1994.
I used to watch WCW re-runs with my grandma on ITV or Channel 4 I'm guessing. The specific earliest memory in question is Vader battering somebody he'd just beaten in a match and British Bulldog coming out for the save. Google tells me they had a match at Slamboree in 1993 so I'm gonna assume that was around that time.
I can't really remember after that what the first thing I remember is when my friend at secondary school properly got me into it. I definitely saw a bunch of the stuff around the build up to Wrestlemania 2000 including some of the HHH / Cactus Jack stuff he recorded for me but it's hazy remembering what I actually saw at the time and what has sort of been subsumed into my memory with stuff I've seen since then.
I vividly recall watching Royal Rumble 2000 live on Channel 4. What a PPV, possibly still my favourite.
The Austin run from when Brett made him bleed onwards.
Jesus Christ, this might be one of the worst moves I've ever seen.

As well as being shite, this is why they didn’t last long. Dangerous. And shite.
Was it where the ring was on a revolving stage? I remember ITV used to show that WCW show on Saturday afternoons for a while, must have been around then. I remember Arn Anderson in particular seemed to be on it every single episode
That was Worldwide on ITV, which I believe was the UK's first exposure to WCW. Taped at the shite Disney studio in Orlando.
I honestly don't remember enough of the show other than that specific moment. You're probably right between you though.
Even though it was awful to watch, Worldwide tapings at Disney got them turned around financially (thanks to Bischoff) and started the slow road to Nitro on primetime in 1995.
Drew coming out to Broken Dreams tomorrow will make me jizz.
Will make up for him not going over
Episode three of Who Killed WCW is Vince Russo time, bro. The quote on the NEXT TIME with him saying ‘this is a television show, if you wanna watch a wrestling show go to a house show’ is so funny.
I'm a twit
*TTH's Vince Russo, Bro

As soon as McIntrye lost to the cash in at Mania, I was thinking he must win at Castle. But I’m thinking now it might not happen. I reckon Punk interferes to cost him and it turns it into a blood feud for Summerslam.
Praying to the lord almighty that Styles becomes champion tonight.
Wasn't there a stipulation won where Judgement Day are banned? That pretty much guarantees Punk interference. Drew winning and then going on to face Punk for the title is the money, but Paul Levesque really needs to get over his thing of every singles title only changing hands on the big shows and after long reigns.
It also makes zero sense to have AJ do the fake retirement thing and then give up in an I Quit match. I suspect he's just knocked out and unable to answer the call, but it's massively wasted momentum.
Master Gable stays
Give him the Intercontinental title.
Oh ffs Cody-AJ on first. Can’t see AJ winning now. Should be a banger tho.
ofc AJ isn't winning, why would he?
