    I'm guessing you mean Mastiff and I highly doubt he'd be able to get to 205 unless he starved himself. He'd fight with NXT if he got proper matches.

    The logical step is for him is to win the UK Championship and go on a fucking rampage.

    I can't see them taking it off the Bruiserweight just yet. Not unless they're going to develop his rivalry with Roderick Strong into one with Adam Cole (baybay) so he can challenge for the North American title.

    Impact has been a lot better recently especially since Don Callis was giving the book. Top of the card feels like PWG atm.

    Just got to the start of the fake Razor/Diesel storyline which I had never really seen before (no idea why they thought it was a good idea).

    I do really like JR's heel turn speech though.



    Clearly a lot of truth in there and I think he cuts it damn well.

    if you've not seen Cornette talking about training the fakes before give it a listen. His bit about Diesel is amusing.

    Smackdown has been picked up by FOX in the USA from September 2019 (when their current contract expires), and it’s sounding like it’s going to be going back to Friday Night Smackdown and it might well be a three hour show... Nothing confirmed just yet but it’s sounding that way.

    Three hour Smackdown? Fine. Fine. Okay. I can forgive it for a week because it's not actually happening yet.

    Oh goody.

    There's so little that's actually good about Smackdown right now although they've got a much more talented roster than RAW.

    Hopefully that means more of people like Miz and now more of shit like the Top 10 bollocks which was only there to start the Jinder/Orton/Roode rivalry which failed miserably.

    They'd have to re-do the draft seeing as RAW got 3 picks for every 2 SD got. That or SD just gets to nick some guys.

    It would be in September next year so they could let SD take a few more in that years SHAKE UP or just cancel it and do a re-draft.

    Wiki tells me he teamed with Sheamus and Cesaro on a live event in Munich to beat the Shining Stars and Bo Dallas. That's the last update it has but that's hard to top to be fair.

    Also, I said I was looking forward to the Zayn/Lashley sisters segment...

    That was fucking car crash shit, it was so badly written that Sami couldn't even save it.

    Just send Bobby back where he came from, I heard he was good there. In the WWE he looks awful, makes too many mistakes, still fairly crap on the mic and the WWE team just don't know how to use him.

    Yeah, she was just MIND GAMING them.

    It worked though because neither of the two wrestlers are actually good on the mic.

    So it seems that in some weird twist, PPVs are now below Raw and Smackdown in the importance hierarchy?! Then what's the point?

    We've had some dire PPVs the last few months, so that looks to become the norm from now on. I can see myself giving up entirely this year. I haven't watched Raw or Smackdown in months and the only PPVs I've watched live in 2018 are the two Rumbles and Mania.

    @SvN The whole thing is bizarre but basically TV ads seem to be their bread and butter. I think they spend the time advertising their PPVs because they want Network subs rather than because they consider them an important storytelling function as they used to. And basically none of it is driven by actually improving the product.

    On the flipside it doesn't work because she only gets her comeuppance once a year and it barely lasts and this is what she does the rest of the time. You don't fix an issue with mic skills by having her belittle the ones who are meant to matter. There isn't a problem in WWE where Steph is the solution.

    Edit: Shinners, just watch / rewatch all the Terry Tate: Office Linebacker adverts.

    Just watch NXT and NXT: Takeover events.

    They've had two 5* matches in (Gargano/Andrade Almas at Takeover Philadelphia and Gargano/Ciampa at New Orleans) their two events this year and they've had two more (Aleister Black/Adam Cole and the Ladder match) in the events which could were rated 5* by some.

    It's run by Triple H and he's brilliant at the gig.

    Well they need Paul Heyman/A Heyman type to get with Ronda like they've done with Brock. Until then we get this and it actually worked this time.

    I still don't give a shit about NXT. That's not to say it's awful, but none of it makes me care.

    The Ronda match at Mania was better than anything on the Takeover, purely because I was invested in it.

    I'm with Browning on that. Not on NXT per se but on investment mattering. It's at least part of the reason I don't wet my pants as forcefully about NJPW as much as Meltzer/ Queenslander do. I can objectively see that they're good matches but if I don't care about either dude then why make the effort? It's why I coasted through my WWE PPV Network trawl but am not out of the 80s with my WCW viewing yet.

    It's also why I stick with WWE I guess. I don't watch any of it live so sifting the crap is still easier than starting from scratch with another company and having to watch all of it while I figure out what's what.

    You can't give everybody who's crap on promos a Heyman. Just bin the scripts and let them work the storylines they're given their own way and the talent will sort itself out. WWE is obsessed with authority figures being central because Vince accidentally created Mr McMahon then Austin thrived off it. And since then the ego has done the rest.

    Speaking of pant wetting....

    First two episodes of BOSJ are up with English commentary although it'll have to go some to beat Tiger Mask wearing a suit (complete with furry chops) in the press conference.

    The stories are there to be fair they are just more rivalry based because it is treated as a sport not as sports entertainment.

    To be fair to Lashley he was booked as a Lesnar type in TNA with a bigger moveset and his fueds were around titles not WWE scripted nonsense. He also was able to have imput into his promos so comparing him to what WWE are doing to him is unfair.

    To be fair to Lashley he was booked as a Lesnar type in TNA with a bigger moveset and his fueds were around titles not WWE scripted nonsense. He also was able to have imput into his promos so comparing him to what WWE are doing to him is unfair.
    I'm saying he looks awful because the WWE don't know how to use him.

    I didn't watch his TNA run but I've heard about it and it just makes it so evident that the WWE (Vince) don't know what to do with him. When they brought him back they thought he'd just be a plug and play guy.
