Absolutely. Totally buzzing for it.

Know what you mean about not many folk you know enjoying it. I'm trying to explain it at work and they all think I'm a weirdo!!

Went to see Raw in Glasgow in 2016 on my own and it was pretty good.

The sooner WWE get back up here better for a tv show.

Yeah strange they have no dates in Scotland advertised for June. Newcastle on the 30th.

Not really hyped for backlash tonight expect brock and Cody, will watch it tomorrow morning.

[Tambo]

Backlash was actually better than I was expecting tbh.

Huge pops for Carlito and Savio which would of been louder if he didn't show up earlier in the show backstage with rey and bunny.

No problem with the finish in the Brock and Cody match but still hate the multiple kickouts of finishers, its the same every match and the fans knew brock wasn't going to win when he hit the F5 after the crossroads.

[Tambo]

Didn't think much to raw this week and it was so obvious they had to pipe In some fake crowd noises especially with Brock.

Talk of Nigel Mcguinness to wrestle at all in, maybe vs Bryan Danielson.

Will watch Dynamite tomorrow after work.

Got tickets for AEW as well. Saw some decent ones on re-sale for approx 50 quid 522 i think row 8 so facing the entrance stage.

Also got tickets for Smackdown and Money in the bank at the o2.

There's pitchside tickets available for £50 at the moment, but they're right at the back. Not sure whether to buy them or not, as not convinced the view will be up to much.

I thought DoN was AEWs weakest PPV to date, too many things seemed just flat, only really enjoyed Wardlow/Christian, the four pillars match and anarchy in the arena

Most folk would be happy with that but AEW normally knock it out the park with PPVs, looking forward to Forbidden Door though and can't wait for Ibushi to show up and help Kenny at some point

I've only just started really watching AEW about a month ago and I've been enjoying it so far, did think the battle royal went on for a bit long though.

Had a little look at the raw recap and don't think I missed much.

[SteveHFC]

Punk return confirmed.

Might start watching AEW again after having a few months break.

[Onceinawhile]

The heat Don Callis got on Wednesday night was immense.

Wasn't quite as intense as Owens and Elias in Seattle, but it was still pretty big.

Thought dynamite was pretty good this week. Not particularly fussed about Punk being back though.

A bit pricey! Combo ticket for SD and MITB was 150 and AEW 50 so £200 for 3 shows 2 of them being big PPV events so not too bad IMO.

AEW we are up top row 8 top tier. Pitchside should be ok as long as not close t the front. Would want some elevation to see.

[nellio]

418 up to top. Quote far back but in line with the ring pretty much.

Did Adam Cole beat MJF the other week? Maybe I'm a bit old school but I turned off as soon as MJF kicked out after being hit with the belt and then Coles finisher.

I see train strikes in play which will effect the Blackpool friendly, have a feeling will be the same in August come All In.

No, Adam Cole hit mjf with the boom, but when he tried to pin him after, the bell for the time limit for the match rang when the pin count was at 2, so declared a draw.

Cole grabbed a mic and challenged mjf to 5 more minutes, but mjf declined (shocker)

Last thing I seen was MITB and have just skipped through some and watched bits of a few shows.

I got to raw 17th of July and I actually watched 90% of it, thought it was a good show.

Both companies have a couple of good things going, Raw can be a bit of the weaker show at times in my opinion but with the road to summerslam it should be watchable.

Wonder where MJF and Cole will go, maybe a double Turn somewhere?

[SteveHFC]

He said the wrestlemania was really good, but the whole experience was absolutely exhausting, and probably wouldn’t do it again. Also said that even though it’s live, there’s plenty dead time when actually there (when they’re running promo’s etc)

I was a huge ECW fan and guys like Funk, Tommy Dreamer, Sabu, Rob Van Dam, The Dudleys and Foley were the guys I loved watching.

Sad news about Bray Wyatt too. I've not even been a sporadic watcher in years but he seemed to have something about him on the few occasions I did watch.

Apparently Punk and Jungle Boy suspended by AEW.

[nellio]

So what did everyone think of AEW at Wembley?

I was there and in truth I was disappointed. The quality of the matches was good but there were literally no surprises at all. No heel turns, no-one coming out etc.

For a huge show I expected more. I also thought it wasn't operated very well. For example the pre show started at 5 so we got in the stadium about 4.40 got in our seats at 4.55 with a beer to find it had already been going for a bit and we had missed Jarret, big show and Grado. In WWE they will tell you when things are starting with announcements and countdowns etc but there was none of that. Also there was no time in between each match to get a beer or go to the toilet. I started actually going to the toilet etc when the matches started so I didn't miss any entrances.

Doubt i'll go next year.

[Onceinawhile]

I thought it was great.

Agree with the issue about them not leaving any time between matches.

I intentionally didn't drink as I didn't want to be up and down to the toilet constantly, but I literally didn't get out my seat from when the show started at 6 until it finished at 10. Not ideal when I hadn't had dinner.

Other than that, no complaints at all, got in when the doors opened, saw everything.

Lots of great matches, couple of great entrances and my view was top notch.

Already booked the hotel for next year.

[nellio]

I thought the matches themselves were excellent but just wanted more.

For example at money in the bank you had Drew returning, Bazler turning on Rhonda and Cena.

Aew had nothing like that.

[ian cruise]

Apparently Punk and Jungle Boy suspended by AEW.

If true Punk needs to go. To be honest, they should be looking to offload him anyway, unfortunately he's not returned anywhere near the performer he was, and they've got a bloated roster as things stand so him continually taking up top spots just keeps others held back.

I enjoyed it, albeit I was sitting at home. I think part of the problem for this ppv, is that they had almost every single wrestler taking part, which leaves very little scope for people coming out. I’ve not watched a wwe ppv for a good while, but they usually don’t have everyone taking part (they also have so many ppv’s it’s easier to do that), which allows more for surprise appearances, and also allows them to do a bit more of a build up to the matches, giving the fans a bit of respite between.

It’s a good point you make about heel turns, they’ve teased a few for a little while now, and really the only one that happened was the women’s title 4 way, which really had to happen.

[Onceinawhile]

We did get the return of sue.

Mercedes mone was also there.

Aew just doesn't have enough form near return for it to work hayter, pac and danielson are all miles away.

Everyone else who is injured is pretty irrelevant.

This was the way I always thought it might end. Vince has shown he’ll work with almost anyone if they make him money, so if he’s not prepared to work with you when you’d likely make him a fortune then you’ve defo got some self reflecting to do.

Thinks that’s me only watching MJF stuff from now on in AEW.

I’m a Punk fan, but he can’t seem to stop getting involved in stuff that he should just walk away from.

Given ROH is owned by Kahn, and the working relationship between them and NJPW, I think Punk may have blackballed himself out of high level wrestling, unless HHH fancies bringing him back

Cody "finishing the story" by winning a title that never existed when his dad and brother were in the company is from a kayfabe point of view, a stupid, stupid decision.

Yuck.

If cody loses on night one, then how do they heat him back up for the next night?

If either him or seth take the pin, it cuts the legs out of their match the next night.

Only option is the rock taking the pin and that seems hugely unlikely.

All seems absolutely crazy, makes for an interesting couple of night to see how they work it but I’m with you, I don’t think bloodline can lose both nights, but how can cody win night 2 if it’s ‘bloodline rules’ I think Jey uso will play a role somewhere doesn’t even up the numbers though especially as you’d expected the rock to take out Seth same night

R-Truth with a deserved wreslemania moment, only seen the last 5 minutes or so of the woman's title match.

[Tambo]

Really enjoyed that match and it's been a decent wreslemania Saturday so far, couldn't say there was a bad match on the card.

Back to work Sunday night so will catch up on Sundays at some point and try to get back into raw and smackdown.

Main event time!

I see The Rock and Reigns winning tonight, Cody Vs Reigns will be a run in fest with Cody winning.

Cody Vs Rock at some point, probably Summer slam after he runs through Solo and Jimmy. Can see The Rock and Reigns wanting to work with each other at some point.

Main event was great.

Cody is winning the title now.

[SteveHFC]

Thought mania was fantastic.

With regard to clash at the castle for money in the bank they did a combo ticket for both nights. After that there were very few tickets available for just MITB so assume that they will do the same this time. Hopefully with a lot of scottish fans watching the football it will enable me to get a combo ticket again this time.

Honestly no idea, just plucked that out the air cause it’s around 50k. Even Easter Road would have been bigger than the hydro. Like you say pricing would have had to be a lot better, not sure what they were charging in Wales.

No idea, as I've no idea about what size the texas rangers stadium is tbh. I think they know well enough that they'll sell enough not to look stupid if that makes sense?

If you read twitter and reddit aew is awful and dead, if you watch it, the shows are A+. Ospreay, mjf, okada, cesaro, mone, swerve, danielson, allin and perry all doing awesome work. Unfortunately, as they've improved the woman's division, the tag team division has almost disappeared and that (for me) was rhe best bit of aew.

Sold nearly 50k for next weekend.

40k for baseball, they did have 43k for a concert so no idea what the max could be.

I started watching a dynamite from a few weeks ago on itv x, it was before I was ready to fall asleep but i did watch the opening match with MJF and some guy called Fletcher something, never seen him before, did enjoy the match and will probably catch up with the rest of the show as I want to see Double J vs Bryan.

Thought the show was good and watchable, I'll probably watch some more after the man city game.

Caught up with the last dynamite and collisions, some good matches, nothing goofy, no idea how long storylines have been running, look forward to the Ospreay MJF and Bryan vs Swerve match.

Just watched all in and that was a really good wrestling card, woman's matches great also.

A few surprises with a huge surprise in the battle gauntlet.

Happy to see Bryan win and wonder if every match will be a title Vs career with a final lose at the end of the year.

Downloaded last week's raw yesterday but not got round to watching it yet, have really enjoyed the past few weeks of aew TV and this ppv.

[Onceinawhile]

Really enjoyed all in. The surprise entrants were fantastic imo, though bit disappointed with the finish.

Main event, ospreay match and toni storm matches were all brilliant too.

Went to the toilet over the jericho match.

But other than that, the card was cracking.

Rev pro the night before was decent too. Zsj vs hechihero match of the night.

The security don't half get beat up every episode though 😂

That was a good match, with some crazy counter moves. All in all a very good ppv again.

The attempted murder on Bryan was a shock to me and the end of the lights out cage match was very violent.

[Tambo]

So decided to download raw from two weeks ago, the go home show before Berlin. Enjoyed the Drew and Punk segment but the rest was meh for me.

Dare I say it that AEW was more enjoyable, will watch SD and Berlin before Friday.

Willow vs stat was my favourite match.

Appreciate the heads up about Netflix buddy :aok:

[overdrive]

Got one more episode of Mr McMahon to go. I've quite enjoyed it, though I knew most of the stuff. My wife has also enjoyed it, hearing about how the business side of it works - she's never watched it other than in passing. Unsurprisingly, I don't think McMahon comes out well on it, particularly if you know a bit about stuff. That's the first time I've heard him use the "nobody in the arena saw what happened" excuse for the PPV continuing after Owen Hart died and is clearly a lie. Very cringe all the stuff around Sable, Trish Stratus, etc. too especially given the accusations. He seems genuinely gutted the impregnating Steph storyline didn't go ahead.

The bit where he said the real Vince McMahon is nothing like the Mr McMahon character then Shawn Michaels, Shane, Hulk, HHH, Stephanie, etc. all one by one contradict him is priceless. As is the "no one got killed, there was no rape, no use of knives or guns" line that's interspersed with clips disproving all of that.

I think Bischoff comes across really well in the show.

Elimination Chamber 2025 to be held in the UK apparently.

[Tambo]

Been down with the flu this week, i've caught up till bad blood regarding WWE and will see what The Rock is going to do.

Catching up with AEW and just watched the dynamite after all out, Nigel challenging Bryan for the belt, probably won't be the classic from previous years but still nice to see them getting to work together one more time regarding boths journeys.

I'm sure Nigel has been working out a bit in the ring unless the match doesn't even happen.

[Tambo]

Currently at GrandSlam show regarding AEW, so the Nigel McGuiness Vs Bryan Danielson wasn't for the title after all, a very short build but I enjoyed that match and Nigel looked much better than all in, wonder if he fancies a few more matches.

Have a feeling moxley will win later on and face Bryan at the ppv which is tonight.

[Tambo]

Really enjoyed the Danielson Vs Okada rubber match, unfortunately being on YouTube a lot I seen who won at the last ppv.

Still enjoying AEW at the moment.

[Tambo]

The outrunners are my favourite tag team going ATM, keeping off the dirt sheets and trying to avoid as much spoilers, have a feeling Shane is the man making Moxley do all these dirty deeds.

Enjoying seeing what wheeler is going to do as the build has been great so far and giving him some personality and character.

Would recommend AEW to anyone who has the time, not even interested in WWE.

[Tambo]

No idea where AEW and Moxly is going with this storyline, there's enough guys in the back to take out the BCC 😁

Crown jewel was a bit of a let down, think bloodline story is in real danger of being drawn out far to long also tiring of Cody Rhodes, dirty dom and shamus being involved in no.1 contender match on raw shows a lack of top talent imo gunther a decent heel not much to go against as everyone been tied to bloodline/cody so long

I think WWE will keep uploading old stuff onto their WWE vault YouTube channel.

WWE vault is amazing, lots of survivor series matches been posted this week, yet to watch the story of the first elimination chamber documentary yet, did watch the Kevin Nash career retrospect which was a good and quick watch.

It was probably one of the areas TKO could most influence on the wrestling side of the business. They would know SFA about the creative aspect of it so commercial stuff is probably where they saw scope to do something with WWE

[Pretty Boy]

I've been watching some of the older stuff on Netflix and one thing that struck me is how short a lot of the matches were.

I watched the 2000 Royal Rumble and whilst the Cactus Jack v Triple H street fight was lengthy (and brilliant) some of the other matches were ridiculously short. The Tag Team title match between the New Age Outlawz the Acolytres was under 3 minutes and Kurt Angle v Tazz was only just over 3 minutes. By contrast the shortest match in 2024 was 14 minutes, in 2023 was 5 minutes and in 2022 was 10 minutes.

Same with the Raw and Smackdown episodes from the time. Whilst it was good actually seeing the champion wrestle every show or at least every other show compared to the lighter schedules now, matches were often very short. The storylines are ridiculous and don't really stand up today but it's still great fun from a nostalgia viewpoint.

[Mon Dieu4]

Just watched Raw and agree the in ring action was rank, I love the fact it's now on Netflix but think I will do my usual and catch weekly highlights on Twitter and just watch the Pay per views

I'm not pro one of the other but AEW is definitely more for me and has been since it started

Is Netflix planning on adding more of the back catalogue over time?

There isn't a huge amount of Raw and Smackdown on and none of the old Armageddons yet.

Also doesn't seem to be a lot, if any, old ECW or WCW stuff. I think there is still some content on Peacock in the US so not sure if that is the reason for a delay or if there is just no plan to include it at all.

WWE Vault on Youtube keeps uploading stuff. Think the plan is to get more stuff added eventually.

It's pretty annoying. The amount of bleeping was ridiculous.

I noticed at the end of Raw they listed the Exec Producers as Paul Levesque and Lee Fitting. I wasn't sure who Lee Fitting was so I googled him. He's Kevin Dunn's replacement so the guy that's being credited for the change in camera shots, etc. However, when googling him all these stories pop up about how it looked like he was let go from his previous job at ESPN for sexual misconduct. Given what's come out about McMahon, Laurinaitis, etc. I'm amazed that anyone at WWE/TKO thought it would be a good idea to hire him.

Yep that's the plan, to keep people subscribed by adding stuff over a period.

Vault is great, not been watching anything wrestling wise past few weeks, no surprises that raw sounded bad.

Currently watching the overlap us interview with sheamus.

I seen something about netflix raising the prices in the USA, don't think it's a big increase but probably was expected since the WWE announced the deal.

Currently watching some invasion era, KOTR 2001.

DDP the stalker of the undertakers wife with a hot wife like Kimberly made no sense.

Kurt was a animal of an athlete, going 2 matches in the king of the ring which yeah they weren't all out matches, then the brutal match with Shane.

That match with Shane is one of my all time favourites.
