None o those things happened

It was on track to be the best Wrestlemania since 17. But ohhh boy did it tail off in the second half of the show.

That main event was some of the weirdest shit I have seen from them. What was the point?

All my predictions were wrong

Paige has had to retire due to injury

Apparently the NXT Takeover prior to mania was superb.

Alex · 11-04-18, 08:19 AM

It was. Maybe one of the best PPVs WWE have ever put on.

Anyone heading to any of the NJPW shows in the UK this week?

We're heading to the Manchester show!

Yeah, I’m going to Milton Keynes.

Went to Progress again yesterday. Jordan Devin v Will Osprey was a MOTY candidate.

Alex · 25-06-18, 12:25 PM

Is Will Osprey still trying to kill himself?

I couldnt go to the NJPW shows, bit annoying. But were moving, so needs must.

Looking forward to Progress in Wembley though

Yes, I’m afraid he is!

I have front row for Wembley. The booking in the run up to the show has been a bit lacklustre though... but it will worth it purely for Pete Dunne v Ilja Dragonov

Alex · 25-06-18, 04:25 PM

Still 3 months to go. So hopefully it picks up. Osprey v Havoc will be good again.

We’re next to the ramp. About 5/6 rows back I think.

chadrtc · 18-07-18, 01:41 PM

Osprey and ZSJ have both now been pulled from the Progress Wembley show by NJPW.

That card is in a bit of a mess now!

Alex · 18-07-18, 02:12 PM

Its crap.

Was looking forward to it, now all there is to get anyone excited is a Pete Dunne v Illja Dragunov match.

Im guessing they get Tyler Bate into the main event somehow now?

The main event was unreal on that show. Probably one of the best I've seen live.

Jaco_Pastorious · 16-08-18, 02:11 PM

Not seen it mentioned here, but Jim Neidhart passed away a few days ago.

Only 63 years of age.

Loved the Hart Foundation when I was a nipper.

The main event was decent, but the card was pretty disappointing as a whole. It was originally sold as an NJPW event, but transitioned to being a lot more like an average Rev Pro show once the tickets had sold out.

Roman Reigns stepped down from RAW/WWE last night due to his leukemia returning.

Wrestler Silver King dies during Camden Roundhouse bout.

Cesar Barron, known as Silver King, was a star in his native Mexico and appeared alongside the comic actor Jack Black in the 2005 film Nacho Libre.

The 51-year-old was performing at the Roundhouse in Camden when he reportedly fell to the canvas.

A fellow Mexican wrestler paid tribute to his "great rival", saying: "He went as he wanted: fighting!"

El Hijo del Santo, aka Jorge Rodriguez, tweeted his "deep regret" at the death of his "partner in so many battles".

Barron had been in the middle of a match at the Greatest Show of Lucha Libre event on Saturday. Reports in Mexican media suggest he may have suffered a heart attack.

Roberto Carrera Maldonado, who attended the fight, said it initially looked like his collapse was part of the show.

"It felt like it was staged," he told the BBC. "Obviously it was quite normal in the fight."

But the wrestler stayed on the floor despite the referee's efforts to revive him. Footage posted online shows the referee and several other men coming to his aid after he collapsed.

"All of us were really shocked - it wasn't clear what was happening," Mr Carrera said. "I had the impression they didn't know what to do."

Mr Carrera said another fighter was pressing Barron's chest, and added that it seemed to be a long time after the wrestler collapsed before paramedics arrived.

The show was initially paused, but a loudspeaker announcement later asked the audience to leave.

The Roundhouse confirmed there had been an "incident" during the show but said it was unable to comment further.

It later tweeted its condolences, saying: "Last night Silver King sadly lost his life during an event at the Roundhouse.

"At this stage the details are still being investigated so we don't have more information we can share."

Cesar Barron appeared without his mask at the premier of the 2005 comedy Nacho Libre

AEW and NXT head to head last night for the first time.

Both shows sounded really good. NXT seemed to go for it. Hopefully they push each other now and force each other to be better.

Gingawaria · 03-10-19, 08:56 AM

AEW will be on ITV Hub from 7pm tonight for anyone interested.
