Does Anyone Watch Wrestling? (WWE, AEW, TNA, NWA, etc)

[TJ13]

I guess October 21st.
WWE Live center will be here.
@Northstar you should head down?

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Raw was once again a good show. Balor v Jordan, Hardyz v Ambrose/Rollins and the main event were very good, shame about the crowd during the last match though, opening bit with Lesnar and Strowman was great.

Raw has been on roll lately, all episodes in the last month or so have been superb, hope they can keep it up. 👍

Been hearing that Big Cass's knee injury is legit.

 

[Northstar]

Asuka has a broken collarbone and will be out for a little bit. No word on how this will affect the NXT women's title.

Been hearing that Big Cass's knee injury is legit.

He's having an MRI tomorrow, hopefully it's nothing too serious.

Source for both.

It seems WWE has had some very bad luck with injuries lately, especially with superstars in prominent storylines.

 

[Stephan]

Man what with these injuries? Are we going back to 2015?

Spoiler

Called it. Bobby Roode to debut after he dropped the NXT title to Drew.

Finally Shelton makes his return.

 

[VYPA-SQUAD_Ace]

Enzo to 205 Live..

I might actually go to Smackdown Live next week since it'll be here..

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Smackdown just got Glorious!

 

[m8h3r]

Bobby coming up is good, as in Enzo to 205, smart move that one.

Shelton looked like a giant next to Chad, I didn't realise he was that short and Shelton that tall.

 

[Stephan]

Beach balls are now banned from future WWE live events.

I'm glad WWE finally banned beach balls. If I was watching and then some peeps decided to throw some beach balls just for their own fun, I would immediately pop it and will give zero 🤬 about getting booed just because I popped their beach ball. It's a sign of disrespect to the wrestlers as well whom they put their bodies on the line just to give the fans a show.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Big Cass has torn his ACL in his right knee, will be out for a long time and will likely miss WrestleMania.

Gutted for him, has been getting a fairly big push and now this, just goes to show that there is never a good time to get injured.

 

[Darla Starch]

So, at the most recent NXT tapings,

Spoiler

Asuka relinquished the NXT Women's Championship. Partially due to injury, which could've been booked around due to NXT'S taping schedule and the next Takeover presumably not until Survivor Series weekend. Some insinuation that she's being prepped for a callup to the main roster, brand TBD.

Hopefully they do call her up as I think both shows are in desperate need of some new blood in the women's division. Of course it would help if Raw actually used more than half their roster.

 

[Northstar]

Charlotte was at a Comic Con event yesterday and will be touring again starting with a Live event this weekend. Hopefully it's a sign that Ric is recovering well.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Some news then, firstly about Raw, the big match tonight is Alexa Bliss's rematch for Sasha Banks's Women's title, it should be the main event really, cant see the title changing hands.

Also the first four episodes of the Mae Young Classic Women's tournament are now available on the Network, the four episodes contain the first round matches, another four will drop next Monday and will have the second round and quarter final matches, the semi finals and final will be live from Las Vegas in mid September, JR and Lita are the commentators with Madusa/Alundra Blaze doing the backstage stuff, it will also feature the WWE's first Female referee.

 

[Northstar]

Raw has been pretty good so far, I don't think anyone was expecting Hardy to win the battle royal.

I can't help but wonder is perhaps WWE is trying to saturate Enzo to the point where fans turn on him.

the semi finals and final will be live from Las Vegas in mid September,

Only the finals will be live, the semi-finals have already happened.

Spoiler

Kairi Sane vs. Shayna Baszler is the championship match

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Another good Raw, liked both the Ambrose/Rollins matches and the main event, although I didn't really like the title change in that one, but having Nia turn on Alexa was cool, even though we knew it would happen.

By far the best bit for me was Reigns/Cena, how savage is Cena on the mic?! Holy Cow!!

 

[Northstar]

Seems like we may be adding another wrestler to the DL as Xavier apparently hurt his knee during a house show. I'm going to guess it's not just kayfabe either as Fandango went over to check on him.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...ortedly-suffers-knee-injury-at-wwe-live-event

Smackdown isn't getting off to a great start and the main event doesn't seem all that intriguing either.

"I'm still here because you're not doing your job" Ouch.....

Samoa Joe is apparently out for 4 weeks too.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Smackdown was a bit meh I thought.

 

[VYPA-SQUAD_Ace]

Hell, the crowd wasn't all that great either. Glad I didn't go..

Edit: That live event was in my hometown of Texarkana, Arkansas. Cool.

 

[Stephan]

Batista might headline the WWE HOF Class of 2018.

If it's true then congrats to Big Dave. And he'll become also the first guy out of the OVW 4 (Ohio State Valley Wrestling Class of 2002) to ascend to the HOF.

 

[Northstar]

So this is a thing...





I'll admit that I couldn't stand The New Day when they were on Raw, but they have certainly improved since going to SmackDown.

 

[Northstar]

Sorry for the double post, but The Nature Boy deserves his own.



I want that shirt too.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

JBL has left his Smackdown commentary role, he wasn't fired and left voluntary to focus on other things.

Goodbye and good riddance!

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

No more it's john o clock from what culture then

 

[BKGlover]

No more it's john o clock from what culture then

King Ross will probably have a send-off John O'clock.

I wonder what the commentary team will be now?

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Main event on Raw tonight is a Steel Cage Match between Braun Strowman and Big Show.

Cory Graves will take JBL's place on Smackdown with Nigel McGuiness doing 205Live and Main Event.

 

[Northstar]

Main event on Raw tonight is a Steel Cage Match between Braun Strowman and Big Show.

That match (I'm expecting it to mostly be a setup for another "Braun destroys stuff" clip) and the Intercontinental match should be good. I'm also hoping they continue doing 2 women's storylines (even if the second one isn't that great, at least they are giving some attention to the lower card women).

 

[MUSC4EVER]

The Steel Cage will get properly destroyed tonight!

Completely forgot about Miz v Jeff for the IC title, and hopefully we will have more on Reigns/Cena as the segment between them last week was awesome.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

I'm thinking lesnar will try and interfere in the cage match too. With a little cage destruction too.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Raw was good. Steel cage main event, IC title match were both good, no complaints from me.

Three matches added to No Mercy in three weeks.

On SD Live tonight there is a number one contenders WWE title match between Orton and Nakamura.
