Not looked into it in much detail but plenty of rumours swirling online that Vince McMahon has returned and already sold the company to the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund. That's the same fund that essentially bought Newcastle United Football club here in the UK a little over a year ago. Anyway, perhaps people with more knowledge of this could fill in some of the gaps I've left here ..read more

WWE_SurvSeries_WarGames_logo_dark_bkgd.jpg I didn't think I'd be starting discussion of a 3rd PLE today, but pretty big news with the announcement of WWE War Games. It makes sense, but I personally don't like the announcement of a gimmick before we know the stories leading into it. I dunno, it's a personal issue. Feels flat. That being said, I trust that it'll work out. With the Bloodline as a major stable, and Damage CTRL being a prominent factor in the women's division, I can see how stories will allow the double cage gimmick to belong ..read more

Crown_Jewel_%282022%29_Poster.jpg Roman Reigns vs Logan Paul - Undisputed WWE Universal Championship As mentioned in the Live Discussion thread, I'm not likely to catch this. These Saudi shows rarely do anything for me, and thankfully I don't feel like I've ever missed much when I have skipped them. Ongoing stories are used, but I can't think of too many that had pivotal moments in Riyadh that required me to find a copy of the show. That being said, this is going to be a big event outside of the IWC. There might be something that takes place here to hook people in for the following Monday ..read more

Roman Reigns vs Drew McIntyre - for the WWE Championship Liv Morgan vs Shayna Baszler - for the women's Smackdown championship Gunther vs Sheamus - for the Intercontinental Championship Riddle vs Seth Rollins Bianca Belair, Alexa Bliss, and Asuka vs Bayley, Dakota Kai, Iyo Sky I hope we get a couple more matches booked tonight and Friday (I know Smackdown is already recorded, but I'm sure I'm not alone in avoiding spoilers, so please don't ruin any announcements that will be officially aired on Friday ..read more

Brock vs Roman (perhaps Title vs Title) Charlotte vs Ronda Becky vs winner of the Elimination Chamber this weekend Kevin Owens complaining about Texas, while the originator of the Stunner who is from Texas is rumored to be competing The Rock hinting as fans hearing "and MILLIONS" again. Lots of potential and topics to discuss, and we're still a few weeks away ..read more

About a week ago I read something in my feed about Summer Slam 1992 originally being planned for Washington DC and with an IC title match of Bret vs Shawn Michaels. Very strange one to think on since the show was so huge for WWF in the New Generation and to their place here in the UK overall. You can say Davey is likely a far smaller deal in 1995-97 without that match but you have to wonder how it would change the history of Bret and Shawn ..read more

So there is early talk about WM38 that it will be another 2 night spectacle in front of a full crowd for both nights. I am probably in the minority in this, but I really do not like the 2 night plan. That is a lot of time to dedicate to the WWE for an entire weekend. Traditionally WM was on Sunday from 6-11ish, or 5-11ish if you count the pre-show. That means for WM weekend, you have SD on Friday for 2 hours, WM Night 1 for 4-5 hours on Saturday, WM Night 2 for 4-5 hours on Sunday, followed by MNR for 3 hours on Monday. That is asking a lot from your fanbase. Planning your weekend for one l ..read more

The son of Paul Orndorff broke the news today that his father has passed away at age 71. These are starting to hit me harder and harder recently. Orndorff was one of the guys that I looked up to and inspired me to work hard in the gym and try to get a physique like that. In recent years, I think that his work has been woefully underrated, and unfortunately I'm not sure that the current generation can really fathom just how gigantic he was. Hogan tends to get most of the credit for WrestleMania's success, but without hated heels like Piper, Orndorff and Orton that show does not do the business ..read more
