Thrilled to hear this. I usually buy from SMV during their sales. Subbing to Power Bomb will probably work out better for my wallet.

I saw that they're about to rerelease the Volcano Girls tournament with new commentary on SMV, I'll absolutely sub to Powerbomb to check that out.

Good call Bronx, I'm checking it out right now and there's some good stuff.
Ohh even the stylised public sketches are getting to me, this man is delivering what I hope my hobbyist arse can someday do.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
The rumor is that its not just Jojo, Bo and Bray who have some mystery illness, but that others in the main event might also have gotten sick as well. Imagine how well it will go over if someone on the Shield doesn't make the event.
Just have Kane cut a promo about how it's a voodoo curse from the Deadman from beyond the grave and he's here to take out the rest of them

So you agree with me
Sounds like we could be getting this generations Great American Bash 2006 just with an illness instead of elevated liver enzymes.

WWE UK UPDATE
A source close to the situation has told PWInsider.com that the company has been ramping up pitches to several different UK broadcasters. The pitch revolves around the idea of carrying a WWE UK-centric property that would be produced in Great Britain featuring an all British cast of characters.
The current title for the series, we are told, is WWE King of The Ring. Obviously, that is a repurposing of the title of a tournament that has been around since the late 1980s, initially as an annual special event in the Boston market before graduating into its own PPV event in 1993. The King of the Ring PPV was halted in 2006 but was brought back from time to time as an attraction used to elevate talents to the next level. It was last used in 2015 with Bad News Barrett winning the tournament.
PWInsider.com has also been told that one of the broadcasters WWE is pitching is ITV, which is interesting on a number of levels.
Oh my god ITV worked themselves into paying for a WWE show

I mean it makes sense. ITV wants a wrestling show, and it's way less hassle and probably cheaper to pay WWE for one than it is to run the whole thing themselves.

You guys need to check out Nate Villanueva on Instagram, dude does great illustrations of wrasslemans.
Is that top one those FMW women?

That's gotta be better than paying Jarrett for a year's worth of TV, though.
Also, if WWE want this to be a game changer in the UK scene then they kinda need ITV or one of the other major freeview broadcasters.
Yep, Megumi Kudo.

Another important bit from that PWI report
So it's just a matter of time now on when we get the next tier of WWE Network.
When the UK stuff happened, Meltzer said that one of Triple H's visions is having developmental territories all around the world that run with local talent and eventually sending talent between the various brands.

I'm sure y'all already saw this smug prick Bill Maher trying to shoot on the WCW crew that was posted on wraddit. This guy is the worst.

WWE Network needs a damn mega collection thing such as the entirety of WCW in shows in order with the PPV and everything.
The only possible explanation.It's hard to tell, you may have misspelt great as garbage.
A lot of people seem to make this mistake with Kane. Maybe their enthusiasm causes their hands to shake while typing.

Gargano replied in a now deleted post saying something like my step mother had/has breast cancer so to me its the symbolism that counts something to that effect.

Meltzer didn't even write the report he is upset about, the TV recaps on the site are done by other writers
meltzer is officially a mark ass mark, claiming last monday's raw rating is "as low as they'll go"
alvarez immediately laughs in his face and tells him it can FULLY go lower, we still have basketball and the world series coming up
I also laugh at the whole "this is as low as it'll go" sentiment because everyone was saying that shit 5 years ago when the rating went below a 3.0. now hitting 2.0 is considered a success. it will only continue to go down, especially when they don't have guys like goldberg that they can bring in to save them.

Who is the bigger mark... the one who is paid to talk about ratings.... or the one who is so obsessed about it he talks about it for free and even coined a catchphrase?
