His match with Ishii in RevPro Global Wars last month was MoTY level phenomenal Thought the match the night after was just as good against Shibata. Everything he did in the UK this year was phenomenal. Almost everything he did this year elsewhere was the same tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure it clicked just the same with Shibata but that's just in comparison to an absolute cracker...both were excellent -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francesc Fabregas Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I'm not sure if this has been shared elsewhere on the forum but this is a pretty interesting read about the inner workings of the WWE - CLICK. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 From the marketing geniuses that brought you Ric Flair's Figure Four Finance I bring you this delight... http://biggenesnitsky.com/ It wasn't his fault. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Jan 14th & 15th live on the WWE Network, 16 man tournament to crown the first ever WWE United Kingdom Champion. Trent Severn, Pete Dunne, Wolfgang & others to compete. I believe Michael Cole & Nigel McGuiness are on commentary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieStevenson Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I'm not sure what's going on here but they seemed to want to make it a new brand just like NXT or the Cruiserweights. They were even talking about potential weekly episodes in the UK..... So they'd be in the WWE but at the same time not in the WWE? As they'd be on the other side of the world from the rest of the rosters I guess it'll be fun like the Cruiserweight Classic but then die a horrible death afterwards too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Aye they've absolutely shat it at World of Sports and fair play to them. Enjoying how even Finn Balor is towering over all the other wrestlers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thepundit Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Best championship belt they've designed in a long time. I wonder what the long term plan is though? A UK division on Raw would be a thin roster. Maybe they should have brought the European championship back instead?..... Definitely a direct response to the success of indie promotions in the UK and more to the point the return of World of Sport which will probably have an audience of a few million. (apparently Raw gets around 150k on Sky Sports) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northsea80 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 With regards to the WWE Uk championship, perhaps this title will be defended across the various uk promotions. He did mention a few companies they'd been working with over the course of a year including ICW and progress. Maybe it'll be like the old territory days in America when Flair would defend the NWA title against various regional champions. Surely it'll be a good thing it it helps to showcase UK talent and gives them exposure on the network. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Regal has said it won't have an effect on UK indies so either it's running parallel or they'll be working together. Either way, some of the negative comments being made towards this have been quite funny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Jim Ross blogging that 'certain companies' won't be happy that ITV'S upcoming WoS will be, from week one, the largest watched TV wrestling show due to the fact it's shown all over the world and free to air. Seems quite bizarre as this WoS is likely to be brutal but would explain this new UK Championship thing Wwe are looking to explore. Still though, think Jim's reaching on that front. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
