How's World of Sport so far? Been hearing some mixed opinions.

It's OK. Better than I expected.

It's been fine. Imagine WWE if it was produced like Gladiators.

 

[Hasney]

Was really hoping it was going to be Drew but eh, I guess he is the biggest name due to his dad.

 

[oneofthose]

who is gonna get beat up by goldberg on monday?

 

[sf2fanatic]

So this UK championship thing, any chance for a

Barret comeback/resigning?

 

[FlammableD]

Yeah, it's fine. Not really aimed at those into the UK scene already, which is fine.

 

[Professor Beef]

Aww bugger, forgot about the Brit wrasslin' on the telly.

Speak english!

Nah, he did an interview saying how much WWE made him hate being a WWE wrestler, so he's going to try acting and maybe taking a few wrestling gigs in 2017.

My parents are enjoying it and it's fun to enjoy for the nostalgic novelty.

Grado is a potato.

Oh ok. He's got that look to be in action movies. Maybe Rock will throw him a bone as a villian in his movies

Undertaker: I'm returning to Smackdown and will no longer let Wrestlemania define my career

*next appearance is 2 months later and on Raw*

*most talk is centred on a possible Wrestlemania appearance*

Think JR was one second away from yelling THE BOYHOOD DREAM HAS COME TRUE.

That was fun though. Nothing earth shattering, but for a 2 hour pilot, it was a good watch.

 

[Bluekaveli]

I would've killed him

 

[Beefy]

He is a awful actor though. The film he is in is beyond poor.

 

[Stallion Dan]

WoS was ok, is it me or was Bulldog Jr popularity through name? I don't really follow wrestling much anymore and just watch now and again.

 

[Moodmon]

I quite liked World of Sport. It was never just gonna be about quality wrestling, but there was certainly enough of that to get you through. Loved the pop for Bulldog Jr, despite the pin botch. JR was great throughout.

Ironically the championship matches were the worst part of the entire thing, all very ITV with the ending. I suppose aiming for the family market that was the way to go for the kids.

I hope the ratings are decent, probably deserves a series based on the quality of it. Plus more British wrestling is a good thing.

 

[Hasney]

He was in WWE and NJPW so he has made a name for himself too, but yeah, it's virtually all his dad.

 

[SallyIsNow]

Kane's best look was the barbed-wire tights. Only marks will disagree.

 

[Hex]

Anyone have a link to the Hardcore Title Table for Three with Foley, RVD and Raven?

 

[British Monsoon]

Being super pedantic, but when Alex Shane said Gibson had Ligero in the Breaks Special it was actually a single-arm lift.

You had one job, Shane!

 

[Zach]

Lesnar so concussed after that shooting star faceplant.

 

[Fox318]

Lesnar so concussed after that shooting star faceplant.

if he hits that and does't break his neck its the best mania moment ever.

and Brock probably stays with the WWE.

 

[RBH]

Aww bugger, forgot about the Brit wrasslin' on the telly.

Oy, me and me mum goin' down to the pub to catch us a pint!

It really was a missed opportunity.

 

[Fox318]

that show is like the night of the living dead.

Everyone got hurt and so many almost died.

Will 2017 be the year Raw finally becomes good?

You still talking about Manio 19?

I'm looking forward to listening to The Lapsed Fan episode about it.

If you consider THE BIG DAWG being champ again good then yes, it will be.

You already know the answer to this.

 

[Fox318]

yes

RAW will never be good as long as Roman is their. SmackDown is the only refuge from the Roman Reigns show.

 

[Heroman]

Get ready for the big dog to invade smackdown, and you can believe dat.

smh plz

Hopefully in 2017 Owens goes back being a loner. Which he was his best gimmick

 

[Foggy]

The most Raw and the WWE could be is a momentary respite from the singularly crushing weight of a life lived in vain and without purpose.

 

[funkystudent]

New Years resolution.


I aint watching RAW anymore outside of youtube clips the next day if I hear something good happened.


(I have basically dont that for the last few months and its been great)

 

[sf2fanatic]

He is a awful actor though. The film he is in is beyond poor.

I didn't say it had to be in a big role. He could be one of the villians taking a bump(as long as there's no big show around).


:'P

I hate on WWE a lot. But right now wrasslin' is helping me through this shit time. In between appointments the thing that helps each day pass easier is pro wrestling which I would have never fallen in love with if not for WWE. Gonna be a sad day when it dies next year.

 

[Pikma]

Remember that time Owens beat AJ clean? If only he had been booked like that for the last four months....
Too bad everything is Reigns and his sidekick Rollins now

 

[wild wild rice]

fuck raw

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Remember that time Owens beat AJ clean?

I remember the two times he lost to Reigns clean on Raw but not this. Damn Vince

Did he win the belt last night?

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

I love Owens, but I gotta be honest: We're almost getting too much Owens. I find he works best in small, short doses. When you get him all the time it kind of wears a little thin over time.

 

[shanafan]

This is oddly humorous.

I guess it's easier to produce edited segments than film this stuff live.

has hogan ever done a drop kick?

There's nothing odd about it, it's just brilliant.

Reigns vs Cena at Wrestlemania ,champion vs champion. The winner takes both belts.
