    Unfortunately The Hurricane (who is getting wider by the year) was unsuccessful in his attempts for the title.

    Hangman Page is fucking boring. The entire top end of the AEW card is very heavyweight boxing post Tyson/Holyfield/Lewis.

    I don't think phonics actually likes wrestling, literally everyone is 'boring'.

    Oh, and Page should absolutely not be winning the title. Putting it on Jericho and letting someone else chase him is the only move.

    I agree I was just hyped up for young Hangman.

    Ishii vs Mockerserley was sublime, I was genuinely agape at the frog-splash off the top.

    It really is Ishii's time to win the G1 and the IWGP belt even if he doesnt hold it for a big match at WK.

    I've not seen any of it yet bar the Usos getting Doctor Cena to do a rap right at the start.

    Even the more positive review I read made it sound like they were just letting a lot of shit go because nostalgia. Generally sounds pretty shit though. I might just watch the Austin promo at the end and leave it at that.

    It sounds like about the only person who may have directly benefited from the presence of all the old twats is Bray beating up Foley. And even that's not going to actually amount to anything.

    The reviews I usually read (411mania) gave it a 3 out of 10.

    I don't think that makes it the worst RAW this year but it's not far off.

    I got the pride in your workplace/colleagues thing I think he tried at the very start of this, but the guy has spent far too much time with Vince McMahon and it is showing.

    Lewis will be annoyed that Cena never removed his hat so we couldn't see his hairline.

    I clocked it this morning that it was a Raw Reunion and that Austin was going to be on so I foolishly watched the entire thing this afternoon. Let me do you all a solid if you haven't already seen it, don't bother.

    Only to be 'saved' by being bought for a few quid instead.

    I didn't have a clue who the first guy holding it is and I still don't. Not R-Truth, the white dude.

    Drake Maverick.

    He was hired to be the GM of 205 Live (still is) as well as manager for the AOP but they've been using him as a 'comedy act' especially with the 24/7 title. He even allowed them to do a title change at his wedding (likely just after the actual ceremony).

    His name was on his bloody shirt too. I didn't even clock that he's English.

    Quite a shame tbh as the show could have been so much better if it were to be a proper reunion. Most really should have stayed at home though.

    I wonder if he's going to keep the mandible claw as a finisher? That and his other one. I saw they gave Kevin Owen the stunner which can only be a good thing.

    I really wish I gave enough of a shit to tune in more often but it's just wank.

    The bad thing about giving Owens the stunner is that he's stopped using the pop-up powerbomb.

    Finished with the reunion and yeah it was shit.

    Stone Cold still has IT though. They'd have been better off just having his music hit every single match, come out, stun someone, drink a can and then go back in.

    Still the most jarring thing about the whole affair is the inexplicable decision to have Alicia Fox be part of the reunion.

    Has she ever been anything other than terrible?

    No.

    She was on a hiatus because she wrestled a house show match pissed (probably improved her performance tbh) and Arn Anderson was sacked for letting her.

    I mean it'd be weird for any active member of the fucking roster to be in there but fucking Fox? Who's current gimmick is "sometimes wears a hat"? And hasn't ever had a good match?

    In the world of less shitty wrestling the G1 is back today. Naito / Ishii & Shingo / Mockockerserly should be the pick of the card.

    Smackdown was so much better than RAW (it wasn't great but it was decent) and The New Day on commentary is just so good.

    Just seen the Austin promo... that was almost Rock return levels of shite. The best bit was him saying he was worried backstage about what he was going to say. He should have worried a bit more... at least then he may have remembered his own fucking catchphrase.

    Smackdown was alright. KO needs to work on making that Stunner a bit more fluid (though perhaps doing them to somebody who's not Shane would help) but it was nice to see the show end with some babyfaces not being hilariously stupid.

    I reckon post-Summerslam I might bin off the Network and just get it for the Big Four / Takeover combos four times a year. I've basically done all the catch-up I want to, NXT is a solid show but doesn't contain a lot of actual content every week and there's nothing that comes on the originals regular enough for it to be worth keeping the sub.

    And more importantly of course I never seem to come out of a show going "Man that was a totally excellent use of my four hours."

    Whether I care enough to transfer my viewing elsewhere or if I just follow what's happening and find the odd match to watch when they are well received I dunno.

    Looking at the NXT results, it's nice that it sounds like Dunne is gonna be in NXT for a bit and him / Dream / Strong at Takeover should be ace. I do wonder if Dunne is there to eat a pinfall but we'll see.

    Also surprised that Keith Lee lost the match with Priest. I thought after he was halted a bit by Dijakovic's injury and then his own this looked like they were finally start going to give him some momentum. Fingers crossed they still are.

    The only problem is that of the super hyped Meltzer-baiting matches I've seen have been good but I haven't understood all the OMGWTFery around them.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Dunne is there to win. Triple H seems to think SUPER highly of him and rightly so.

    There's nothing more for him to achieve in the UK brand.

    I don't think he wins a title when he's only just come onto that particular brand and if Strong wins, which I think he will for a UE "all the gold" angle, it makes most sense to not have Dream be the one lose to further other stuff.

    I'd love Dunne to win though.

    I'm going to CMLL tonight.



    I went up there earlier to try take a few pictures because cameras are banned there (I pointed out that phones have a camera and asked if they were banned, they weren't)

    The most popular food stand in the area was called 'Baby Faces' but my favourite thing I took was directly opposite the entrance of the Arena Mexico:

    Best sporting event I've ever seen, included Vickie Guerrero (was literally sat next to her) telling me that I missed the best bit when I went for a piss while I tried to explain to her I didn't speak spanish so the promo sections were crap.<br><br>I was so close to ringside that at one point a wrestler took a fans beer and smashed it over the guys head and I got the brunt of it.

    PS. Has anyone ever watched CMLL before? I didnt have a clue what was going on the entire time, There seemed to be 3 rounds but they weren't time or pin based?

    If I spot you on Botchamania, you've taken the board to new heights.
