Wrestling Discussion Thread II

A "go" time was indeed had.

It really was top top stuff & only makes me wish WWE will put on one of their big PPVs (a survivor series or Royal Rumble) in the UK again, can't wait for Takeover London on the network which is at the superb time of 8pm.

Sheffield was a great card, ending on a shock Zayn return for a triple threat.

Highlight for me though was a nutter jumping the barrier and getting in the ring only to be dragged away to the entire building canting "what a bell end".

You's got a triple threat?! Glasgow's main event was Zayn vs Balor & also sadly I knew about Sami's return beforehand.

Yeah, we had Balor, Zayn and Corbin. It was a cracker of a match.

All good matches and a great crowd as well but wouldn't let them near RAW though.

We were talking on the way up and hope London does well on the network that we may get more special like beast in the east over here or a PPV survivor seriesm is the one I thought would be the best as it's big but not huge like the other 3 and yes I know we had summerslam.

Ahh did you's not have Neville then? If not that's why they've chucked Corbin in there.

Nope no Neville, also I sooner we only had current NXT roster then ones now on WWE main roster.

Ah, that makes sense. I've seen Neville quite a few times now anyway, so I'm quite happy with the sick match we got.

I went to Blackpool tonight and it was fantastic, we too got the triple threat match too which was one the best main events I've seen all year, pretty much every match was of a high quality.

It was so good to see how much the superstars lapped up the audience more than anything with faces and heels responding perfectly to the crowd, a match between Bukl Dempsey and Ty Dillinger was particularly entertaining and Jordan and Gable were so incredibly over, I never wanted the match to end.

Seems like you got the same card as us or very similar,

Ours was Blake & Murphy w/ Alexa v Enzo & Cass, Bull v Ty, Apollo v Joe, Bayley v Emma w/ Dana who looked very pretty that night, Dash & Dawson v Jordan & Gable, Asuka v Carmella, Finn v Corbin v Sami

Seems WWE has signed AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson with the first two allegedly going straight to the main roster, not NXT.

AJ is the only one that has no dates set after Wrestle Kingdom 10, love to see him debut at the rumble.

Yeah, I've seen loads of stuff on twitter about them swallowing up talent. Must be to do with them having so many injuries just now.

Quite mad to think that the WWE roster of 2016 could have AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Kevin Steen, El Generico, Prince Devitt, KENTA, Shinsuke Nakamura, Claudio Castagnoli, PAC, Tyler Black, Jon Moxley and The Big Show.

I've become convinced the Big Show will continue to wrestle until the heat death of the universe. Of course, his own atoms will be exhausted of energy long before then.

Then I'll continue to fast forward his matches until the heat death of universe as well then, especially if they pair him with Ryback.

Wrap that. Ryback is quality. You're just jealous because you like rubbish, non-Ryback wrestlers.

Big Show and Ryback always somehow manage to be both over in a flash and painfully slow.

I'm gutted and excited about this. I could leave Gallows, but the other three are unbelievable performers (Naks in particular... he oozes charisma and will easily get over if they let him do his thing) but I'm concerned about the ol' WWE stifling treatment. Fingers crossed they handle these lads well. They've got ready-made stars if they do this right.

WWE have even reported on it saying they don't comment on rumors yet they go on about the Bullet Club, there title reigns etc

The rumor is AJ will debut in the rumble match, on the rumble match what do we think of it being for the title for only the second time but the first time as a title defence also I'm guessing to stack the odds, Roman will enter in at Number 1.

Nah, Ryback is grade A pish and I've seen many claim he's funny yet not once he has never shown it on WWE TV. Also it's not like I dislike the big power guys either as Big E has been a favourite of mine since his NXT days but he has evolved/improved so much since then.

Big E > Ryback.

Big Show already said he'd be entering at number 1.

I reckon this might just a be a one off rumble appearance (I hope I'm wrong ) for all the Bullet club guys, the biggest warning sign to me is the WWE Network just launched in Japan.

Hmm I thought Big Show said he was the first person to say he's entering the Rumble and Y2J was the second person to say there entering.

Nope.

Cool, I just miss interrupted what he said.

Roman could still be Number 2 then.

There's a joke to be made there, but I actually like Roman...

Cena's out for 6-9 months. That's another of the WWE's top guys injured, so I can definitely see Bullet Club being a proper purchase.

That's really bad news that John Cena is injured - I was thinking that this was the year they would hold Undertaker/Cena at WrestleMania. I struggle to think what a lot of the roster might be doing at WrestleMania, what with WWE's mounting injury crisis.
