The Wrestling Thread

I know non wrestling fans will laugh, but a non WWE show in Wembley Stadium with 80k wrestling fans is nuts for the UK.

Wrestling is massive again.

Yeah it was a big gamble by AEW and one that looks like paying off big time.


Not sold on some of the match ups, but AEW rarely get it wrong when it comes to PPVs so some that currently look naff on paper may turn out to be quite good.



Though have an awful feeling that a lot of results will be so that they feed egos. Jericho, and Paige/Saraya being two that spring to mind.

Have a few friends going to it and Michelle is heading down from Liverpool for it as her sister and nephew are heading over from Cork to meet her. There is a ticket with my name on it as well as an 11:45 plane ticket from Cork to London for Sunday morning booked so have the option if I feel up to it on the day.

Bit of a meet up going on with guys and gals from various LFC sites.

You see an inked up dude trying to do a run in during the House Of Black match and who then gets smashed by Brody King, you know I am there Make sure you grab a chair and follow me into the ring

**** me what a great show for the most part.

So slick and felt like a big time event.

A few **** bouts and two whose "results" I hated, but might have been the best big wrestling event I have been to and that includes a couple Wrestlemanias.


If AEW start doing a few house shows in the UK in the future I am so going to be trying to make it.


And surprise surprise to hear that there was an altercation backstage and CM Punk involved as usual

going to see wwe in nottingham monday night. buzzing.
anyone think We should expect to hear the next tour dates of britain and ireland at any of the 3 shows between sunday and tuesday ? My guess is it will happen late April going by recent years, in cardiff in July the night after money in the bank they advertised these 3 for the roars from the crowd but i've no idea if that's the norm

[spud_gun]

Is this the right thread for the Fury 'fight'?

[John Barnes]

phew i thought Hulk Hogan was making another comeback

A new Irish belt holder on NXT as well I see.


If it comes back to Wembley next year, try to get to AEW's All In. The AEW PPVs blow away the WWE ones for my money, and a ton of the wrestlers you will know as they were big names in WWE, plus the AEW homegrown ones are stars of now and the future.
