The Wrestling Thread

This show was pretty good. Hope WWE do more shows overseas in places like China, UAE, South America, India and the likes.

 

The vip saudi * not even paying attention in the front were a load of bollox, shame as from all other accounts in the stands was a great crowd.

Undertaker nearly murdering Aidan English with that botched tombstone, the aul lads needs to stay retired.

really enjoyed the rumble. Jericho looks fat and Mysterio didn't really do much, if he is coming back for good i don't think he is gonna be in any of the main storylines.

 

Had to go out.

Was the show worth watching then.

 

Yeah it was good, rumble had a lot of nxt superstars and the only match that wasn't good was the us title one imo.

 

Cheers ginger chops.

 

Titus falling on the way to the ring was a highlight, Rumble was mainly jobbers until the last 10

 

Titus was brilliant rest was meh

 

Caught up with it today.

Thought it was ok nothing fun.

 

Blasphemy

 

"Do you know what happens to people who sau Y2J looks fat"

Forgot about the show.

Missed a bit over the past few weeks.

 

Third Ppv in a row where nothing happens, you can tell the wrestlemania hangover is still there.

Doesn't help when I think there has been 3 ppv in as many weeks almost. A lot of this is all waiting for SummerSlam

 

The way Lashley has been booked has been very disappointing, it's like someone in creative is desperate to see him fail. He should be kicking *, having 1 on 1 matches and causing destruction.

Went to WWE in Belfast last night. First of all, paid £60 a pop for floor seats that weren't actually on the floor, so hopefully I'll get some sort of reembursement sorted.

Anyway, say what you will about people leaving during Roman. His match with Joe was on before the interval and had great heat. People were really piling out during the IC Title match in the main event. Maybe I'm just getting older, but I didn't get the same buzz I used to get during the old house shows, though I was buzzing beforehand. Ah well.

 

All In reportedly sold out within an hour, thats some going by Cody and the Bucks.
