Ric Flair apparently not well at all - his management team have been tweeting asking people to send prayers. Doesn't sound good.

What age is Flair now? About 70?

[Hollowman]

Maybe ESPN just showed him the 30 For 30.

68 - looks far older though. He looked like he aged about 20 years overnight too.

Yeah he looked a lot older than 68 the last time I saw him on tv

Too much drinking among other things

SummerSlam is on tonight

Looks like British Strong Style are finished at Progress after Alexandra Palace (which was an amazing show). I suspect after seeing this week's NXT, they're about to form the group in the WWE... which would be money. Their Progress heel run has been absolutely sensational, something that could easily be continued in NXT.

Life in the old dog yet. They just won the King of Trios. Mind you, I guess they could be done in Progress as that.

Im waiting for the show to come on demand. Read the results, but the show was supposed to be awesome.

What you probably won't see on demand was Pete waving goodbye out of character at the end.

The BSS Progress run has been one of my favorite ever wrestling story lines. It helps that I've seen it all live in person though no doubt.

Trent Seven is wasted as a face - he's one of the best heel promos in the game at the moment.

Progress Wembley tickets have just gone on sale!

Yep. Were row 5 next to the ramp

5 of us going

5 of us going as well... front row by some miracle!

Progress has been a huge drain on my finances this month.

Bobby Heenan has passed away. Poor guy was a shadow of himself by the end.

What a mind for the business he had though - greatest manager of all time? Certainly up there for me.

Yep the greatest - could take a superb bump as well. The guy could do it all.
