    As long as he doesn't do the helicopter it should be fine.

    Hangman is going to beat Omega for the title at full gear, and I honestly might cry when he does it, what a story

    Pop last night was incredible.

    AEW got me back into wrestling but trying watch WWE is horrific man. It’s mental how different both companies are.

    I cannot believe they're still using Goldberg, dude looks absolutely horrific in the ring and will end up hurting somebody.

    There's still a few acts I like in WWE, mainly New Day, Reigns and most of the woman are great, but I can't remember the last time I properly watched tbh.

    I just don’t get the New Day. Especially as a serious threat to the top tier…. Not just Goldberg, but the piping in of his chants because nobody gives a * as well.

    Reigns is good, Bianca and Sasha as well but outside of that I think the programmes awful man. Raw is like a kids show now.

    Smackdown could be interesting if the majority of it was filled with recaps.

    Why does every single match end with either a roll up pin or a DQ :giggle1:?

    It’s got me interested. It’s mental how superior it is.

    They’ve got something special going. Hangman and that story is unreal.

    When he beats Omega for the title it’ll be mental.

    There’s literally a few things/people I don’t like which is incredible considering I hate everything in wrestling :rofl:

    It’s insane to me MJF is only 25.



    That’s not even mentioning Dante Martin who is 20. Mental considering the WWE basically had anyone under 30 in developmental for years.

    Some have been in that development territory for 4to 6 years. Such as Strong, O'Reilly, LeRae, Kai, Ciampa, Birch and I'm pretty sure there is others. All of whom had years of experience wrestling. Obviously keep some around to help train newbies like Bron Steiner but it's mainly filled with wrestlers they accumulated years ago to stop Impact, RoH and New Japan having them. People like Nakamura should not have gone through the system, just shown up as surprises on Raw. They don't know how to introduce a wrestler. AEW could take Moose from Impact have him debut straight away as a surprise and make him look like a killer. WWE can't do that anymore.

    Kind of hilarious thinking if it was the other way around and WWE recently signed Punk and Bryan they’d be put in NXT for 3/4 years.

    I * loved WWE growing up right up until around Punk left, Shield Split, Bryan Mania etc. It’s so so bad now it’s frightening.

    Bobby Roode was in NXT for ages aswell, tbf he would probably be better off there with the way they've used him.

    Seeing people rather stay in NXT instead of getting promoted to the main roster tells you how bad things must be.

    Them refusing to let Breakker use the Steiner name is another shambles as well.

    Only other guy that comes close to MJF on the mic is Kingston, but after him there's a massive gulf. Think MJF will be the one who wins the belt off Hangman.

    Ethan Page is class on it as well but agreed.

    Seen this on a forum the other day… Someone pitched the idea of MJF winning the title off Punk in Chicago at All Out :35: the build up would be insane and the heat when he wins would be nuclear.

    “Packing that heat like our names Arn Anderson”

    Mad Armed Anderson is the best thing to happen to wrestling :56:

    They dress him like a Steiner, have him do Big Poppa Pump style promos and does wrasslin moves.
