Christophe Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Is the consensus that the Glasgow Raw crowd was really good? I thought apart from the Dar entrance and the Bayley stuff that it felt really flat for the most part -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I really enjoyed it. Wouldn't have come out good internationally though I would imagine. I do remember thinking though that there was maybe too much patter and not enough wrestling, only a minor gripe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanted to go but then forgot before it was too late. Would imagine it was decent.

I've seen his name mentioned on Twitter a bit over the weekend. He was warned not to make any political references by Gene Sapolsky. He went out and not only made a political joke but insinuated that the new President would like to sexually assault the ring announcer dressed the way she was. So got punted more or less instantly.

The Naitch Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Vader's been given less than two years to live by his doctors. Shame for him, one of the best big guys there has been. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Gaines Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 That's me all sorted for both ICW and PROGRESS in 2017. PROGRESS is going along VERY nicely at the moment, and Pete Dunne winning the title is great news. Loads of intriguing stuff going on in the undercard at the minute as well. Should be a belter in Birmingham. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Just watched an interview with Big Show. He looks amazing. He says he's lost over 70lbs in the past 6 months, he's down to 396 lbs now, he hasn't been under 400 since 1995! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Watched some of Mania 13 earlier. It struck me just how cheesy so much of it was. The presentation was dated for the time and a whole load of the characters were fucking awful. We had shite like The Godwins, The Nee Blackjacks, The Sultan and Rocky Maivia. All dreadful characters who obviously had talent since a load of them became Mideon, Bradshaw/JBL, Rikishi and of course The Rock. Even Hunter Hearst Helmsley was a pretty pishy character (but good wrestler). It's no wonder WCW were destroying them in the ratings when you had cheesy, dated, boring and uncool as f**k characters in the WWF, many of whom were still wrestling a dull, slow style. Compare that to WCW who had the nWO, the coolest stable ever at the time, and cruiserweights who were wrestling fast, exciting matches using moves rarely seen in those days in American wrestling. There was some good stuff, including one of the best matches ever (Bret Hart vs Stone Cold, not to mention the characters each guy were at the time). HHH was outgrowing the pishy gimmick he had and was starting to become HHH. The Nation brought a bit of danger to a dull, safe product. And of course Taker is always brilliant, especially since he was becoming darker at this time. It's amazing the change from this Mania to the next. The look and feel of the show was massively different. Even little things like the graphics for the show and what the commentators wore were updated. The characters were massively different. The pace was increased. Even the entrance music was so much more in touch. Obviously there was still some shite (The Godwins put in an appearance, The Midnight Express were pish), but the product as a whole was almost unrecognisable from the year before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Gaines Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I'm also going to the Kris Travis memorial. They're hinting a current WWE guy. I'd guess D'Lo as he's an agent and was a good friend of Travis in his months here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
