If go with that. They will want to keep Y2J Owens for either survivor series or wrestlemania. Looking forward to seeing who comes through from NXT this coming year as well with Samoa Joe Eric young bobby roode and of course mickie James being back. Not seen wwe live yet but feels like they need to change the writers on raw. The main thing for me was the authority story went on far too long
Y2J to win title in Toronto next month would be glorious. Guy deserves another title.
Aye, I know that!! Both shows should be good, hope you enjoy it.
I'm sure I saw a title match between styles and ambrose advertised months ago for Smackdown, but haven't seen anything since.
Sure noam Dar will get a decent reception, but depends on how many folk know who he is.
I see finn balor is back for the next ICW event. Surprised he's allowed tbh.
Think KO destroys jericho sonetime soon to set up a future match
Brand split has worked well for smackdown (apart from the tag division) but I'm not sure it's working for raw.
The lack of action for sami zayn (braun strowman) apart and neville getting no proper action has been criminal.
Also no idea why the tag division has been ruined on smackdown, the usos have disappeared, as have American alpha, breezango and the vaudvillians and we're having to put up with the headbangers and spirit squad for no reason.
Surprised about charlotte winning last night, but glad of it! Far prefer her to sasha.
KO winning was the right choice and romantic was always going to win unfortunately.
It has been decent in recent weeks but they were clearly thinking Lesnar would get booed last week, big big mistake, he's a huge hero in minnesota and was always going to get cheered
Yeah seems to be a lot of the roster just treading water at the moment,personally I think they just hang around to wait to give certain stars there big moment.
Thinking Enzo and cass,American alpha and others personally think neville should be in the cruiserweight division
Alot of mistakes being made considering the roster they have plus all the guys to come from nxt.
Obviously the injury to balor threw things up in the air and rollins face turn being a bit of damp squib so far that's down to hhh not being around hasn't helped.
Should get a rough idea on tonight's raw what Glasgow will be like next week. :hyper
Would be a nice surprise if Goldberg, Lesnar and Heyman turned up next week.
Is this event that is happening in Glasgow, Monday Night Raw and Smackdown Live the actual events that are broadcast live on Sky Sports? Pretty big for Glasgow to be hosting these if they are! Only seems like London and Manchester get this once/twice a year and the rest are broadcast live in America/Canada.
I remember the attitude era which was the best and they had two UK pay-per views. Rebellion and Insurrextion.
Im going to SD next Tuesday. Would like Raw as well but cant afford both.
I went to both Insurexion and rebellion back in the day. Been to a few house shows and saw the first Raw and Smackdown outside of North America in Manchester a good few years back. Always enjoyed the live product its a real spectacle.
After last night's raw. Looks like we'll be getting Roman and Seth v KO and Y2J next Monday. :hyper
Just watching raw just now,heyman Goldberg segment was much better this week rusev gets better and better should get a good push in the near future don't know where he will go now with it looking like he's done with reigns now
There's been rumours about it for a while but due to various issues it never seems to have happened. Hes on the indies just now and is wrestling Joe Coffey in Glasgow in a couple of weeks.
He's talked about finishing his career back in Wwe so the royal rumble is a possibility, definitely likely to appear at a wrestlemania in the next couple of years though.
Raw was amazing tonight. Defiantly going again.
If that happens.

Think the roof would blow off the place I'd be shocked if he didn't turn up before wrestlemania give the guy a part time schedule and he could still do a lot of great matches
Also think the hardys will return next year
Delete,delete,delete,delete,delete.
Also think hulk hogan will be back aswell
Well, how did everyone enjoy it?
From watching on TV, raw was far too talk heavy and the fans ruined the woman's survivor series bit (I appreciate it was probably great live though!)
Smackdown on the other hand was imo much better and better matches. Especially enjoyed lynch v bliss.
But Shane o Mac instead of miz, Harper, kane or crews? Nonsense.
Don't get why very few wrestlers can deal with a crowd sasha handled that bit the best,charlotte dealt with it terribly.
Don't get why wrestlers always try to talk over a loud crowd Alot of the older wrestlers were very good at dealing with this think they should get Shawn Michaels to work on it with them in his new performance centre role.
Braun Strowman has got better and is getting better and better every week. One of the main guys for WWE in the future.
Predictions for Sunday.
Goldberg
Team Smackdown (AJ, Orton, Wyatt, Ambrose and Shane)
Team Raw Women
Team Raw Tag Team
Kalisto
Zayn
Can't see miz dropping it haven't just won it, same with kendrick so:
Kendrick
Miz
Raw tag team
Raw women (charlotte will be last woman standing)
Raw men (who are they going to let beat strowman or reigns?)
Lesnar
Having said that, I can't see raw winning all three. So smackdown might win the tag team.
I wasnt keen on the raw vs smackdown idea to start with but think they should be good match ups good to have Goldberg back hope he hanhas around for a bit
Still think there have been mistakes made bayley joining in a beat down 5 on 1 doesn't make sense actually none of the women's match makes any sense however I'm going
Lesnar
Smackdown mens team
Raw women's team
Zayn
Kalisto
Probably go raw tag teams
Think that's it.
Only think I think might happen is corbin will cost kalisto the match then think miz will retain.
I've got a feeling smackdowns men will loose. Why bring back the undertaker with his warning when there would be no follow through ( mind you the writers dont make life easy). I've only really kept up with peoceedings through bleecher report for both raw and smackdown but have survivor series down for a record tomorrow. Could we see any suprises maybe like takes taking shanes place as he has an injury? Rollings and reigns screwing raw for a shield reunion? Maybe Samoa joe Bobby roode or ey and sanity making an appearance. Or struaman screwubg raw ti go back into the Wyatt gold. Looking forward to it though
Haha it is quite strange but I think it's one of the best things in wrestling right now.got to give it too the hardys for trying something totally different and reinventing themselves who would have thought in 2016 that the hardys would still be going strong when edge Christian and the dudley boyz are retired.
Other than that don't really enjoy tna got some good talent but commentators are garbage the production values are poor
I do like some of the wrestlers think eli drake would be great on smackdown ec3 the hardys and lashley would also be great for wwe,be interesting to see what a the fight network will do with it,still think vince will eventually buy them out though and get the tape library and any talent he fancies.
Anyone watching takeover tonight?
Don't have sky sports mate or I would be recording it is it really that good I've heard alot about it. I don't think Vince will but tna but he will buy the back catalogue I believe it is under New management James storm is ok as well. I can't see lashley or the hardys going back to wwe but hey you never know at the rumble who will appear.
Guessing Goldberg hanging around then.
Goldberg
Goldberg
Goldberg
Not a bad ppv but wwe are in the position where they don't have to go there game as they have no competition
Raw this morning was good.
Can see these matches for WM33 happening.
Taker vs Cena
Goldberg vs Lesnar
Styles vs Orton
Rollins vs HHH
Jericho v KO
Reigns v Balor
Completely changing the subject but I'm off to the SWA show on Saturday and meeting The Godfather/Papa Shango beforehand.
Not watched wrestling in years but quite excited to meet one of my favourites of the attitude era.
AJ-Taker for the title at Royal Rumble looks likely to happen
Devon has taken on an agent role but I'm guessing he's allowed to make Indy appearances alongside that. Also, icw and Wwe seem to have a rather good relationship which probably helped with their appearance.
Wwe have also taken on a few icw regulars recently in Nikki cross (storm), big damo and tommy end.
Looks like they are trying to stack out the card seeing as there going to a 60 thousand seater arena they will have to
Looks like they are trying to have 4 sort of super weekends throughout the year to coincide with the big 4 ppvs
I like aj styles and I'm all for this match if aj wins even by cheating,don't want taker to win just to lose it at Wrestlemania to cena that match doesn't need the title.
According to the bookies Goldberg is short favourite to win the royal rumble,which would make me think Lesnar will would beat owens for the title in the ppv in between then setup the rematch between the two.
Don't think that's the best way to go about time to start putting the younger talents over.
I'd go something like this for Wrestlemania
Rollins v hhh
Cena v undertaker
Styles v wyatt for the title
Goldberg v strowman
Lesnar vs reigns
Owens vs jericho for the title
Bayley vs sasha vs charlotte
Ambrose vs orton
Alexa vs Bella vs becky vs asuka
Multi man ic title ladder match
Same for cruiserweight title
4 way take team title matches with American alpha and Enzo and cass winning first titles
Big show vs Shaq is happening so....but would prefer maybe rusev getting put over by big show if he's retiring.
Would still have to something with the US title maybe zayn vs someone by then
That doesn't mention any possible nxt debuts or any big returns eg.angle,hardys,Joe,nakamura,revival.
It won't be anywhere close to the final card and probably too many matches but plenty of good match ups and plenty of star power and gives them a chance to have a changing of the guard so to speak.
Also that doesn't include balor who will be shoehorned into the main event straight away on his return.
This is probably as good a place as any to ask if anyone can recommend any good wrestling documentaries.
I've recently watched The Resurrection of Jake the Snake, Beyond the Mat and Mick Foley For All Mankind and it's got me in the mood for a few more. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Wrestling with shadows is pretty good
That covershe bret Hart leaving wwe for wcw and the Montreal screwjob probably the best one I've watched
Occasionally one appears in the sky anytime under the wwe section obviously they are usually pretty short and heavily edited but they are decent watch to pass the time for an hour I watched one called sting into theffect light on this the other day which was quite good
There are ton of interviews on you tube with different wrestling types that can be quite good to hear some stories and behind the scenes stuff.
Stone colds podcast is pretty good aswell.
Cheers guys.

TLC this morning was really good.
Plus we have Orton and Wyatt as tag team champions, Bliss as women's champion and AJ is still world champion. http://i.imgur.com/GkHkVKq.gif?1
UK Championship revealed today.
Wonder if it'll end up on Smackdown since Raw has the cruiserweights.
Good shout hope it doesn't go the same way as the European championship
Are they not talking about it being a network show?
The belt is a beauty for sure.
According to a interview with Triple H there will be 30 live shows across the UK next year so maybe quite a few in Scotland again.
Anyone watch roadblock? Not great reviews for it so far good to see neville back and rightly should be the monster heel of the cruiserweight division.
Miz is in the prime of his career right now. His comment to Renee had me laughing on Smackdown this week :faf:
Gutted for the new day, really don't see what cesaro and sheamus bring to the party, but then the raw tag division is weak af.
Kevin owens must be fed up of his booking as well. I reckon he's lucky if he's won one match clean as champion.
If balor makes it he will win,
And talking about owens booking I saw a list the other day and he had the 3rd most wins this year.
Looking like Cena-Taker is a lock in for Wrestlemania whether it's for the title or not remains to be seen.
I know would too sweet.
Apparently he's stopped taking independent bookings and told people he is heading back,he seems to have his addiction problems sorted so I think it could be true think he would be great on smackdown to even 3-4 matches a year.
Could have great matches with wyatt,orton,ziggler,American alpha,miz,ambrose,corbin(who has improved massively since joining smackdown) and of course aj styles.
That's not even thinking about the guys on raw or nxt he could face plus I'm sure they will sign Alot of other guys in the next couple of years.
Y2J now US Champion and Taker entering the rumble.
Reckon Taker is winning the rumble and Cena wins the title setting up Taker-Cena at wrestlemania. :hyper
Angle just tweeted "I'm coming home #itsdamntrue". Make of that what you will but given it's the night of raw I think it points to a return to WWE, probably a retirement run.
Edit: Hall of fame entry apparently, so probably not a match this year.
Maybe happens next year in New Orleans but don't hold much hope for it anymore. Wanted to see a match between they 2 at Wrestlemania.
Better not go with Roman-Taker.
http://i.imgur.com/BYFVNd7.gif
Even this news has me all excited. Would be amazing to see him in the Rumble.
I dont believe for one second angle won't wrestle at least one match in wwe again I think he'll be in the rumble and a big match at Wrestlemania.
