Biggest in terms of attendance?

Yes.
---

Takeover looks promising.

Summerslam, I'm in two minds.
---

Also, fuck my life - in the latest Observer, Dave said that WWE is starting to reach out to Fenix and Pentagon.

:(
---

Also Impact goes up on a 7-day delay on the GWN app, no subscription needed

Pentagon in the Lucha House Party is a hilarious idea
---

I just hope he finally gets to feud with Marc Mero since he's always advocating "ZERO MERO" at every show.

yeah, 10,000 seat arena (Wembley) which WWE use when they're in London sometimes

i'm a bit gutted that ZSJ and Ospreay have both been pulled from the show, since they each had big matches scheduled - ZSJ vs. WALTER for the PROGRESS title and Ospreay vs. Jimmy Havoc in a huge grudge match calling back to probably PROGRESS's most famous title program
---

Jesus, 10k? Anyone here from the UK going to it?
---

I wonder how PROGRESS and RevPro feel about being pawns in the WWE/NJPW talent battle
---

i've got my train travel booked but not the ticket yet (transport is only gonna get more expensive before then)
---

^ This would be like the greatest storyline ever if all promotions involved got their finger out.
---

what does that even mean actually please don't answer that and please don't come to wembley

I want Pentagon to be breaking someone's arm and while the victim is writhing in pain and Pentagon mean faces to the camera, the Lucha House Party is just doing their dumb dances and waving around their party instruments in the background.

With a wildcard program that drew a larger proportion of the country it airs in than WWE does in the US by the tune of twice.
---

god, did any of you watch that World of Sport show though? fuck, even Ospreay and Rampage aren't saving that
---

I've steered away because everyone said that it was super-super mediocre.
---

4 matches in 48 minutes of air time and that's nothing compared to the number of camera cuts per second
---

but more importantly, no attempt to introduce any of the characters or explain any of the rules. there was no element of introduction to the show, and it feels like in the best case, it's a show for people to be like "ha ha, wrestling! remember wrestling, carol? it's back on the telly!" and have a few quick laughs and invest nothing in
---

I wonder what's REALLY going on with Metalik's absences (Kayfabe reason is "Visa Issuses"), Nothing in his Wiki page.
---

...Visa issues is legit the answer

Can someone explain how Kenny isn't ruining his foot by working so hard with a broken heel?

he has a WHAT?
---

He has been working the entire G1 with a fractured heel he sustained in his match with Cody.
---

also yeah i gotta put across how good ZSJ vs kenny was

i mean, they're my two favourite wrestlers at the minute and it was their first meeting in 6 years, in which time both have transformed, but it really did live up to my expectations

ibushi vs. ishii is probably better though

This is how I have been watching.
---

that's a good deal as that's the same delay progress shows have making my trade with scar pretty effective
---

oh except that wouldn't bother me 100% of my wrestling is torrented unless i'm awake early enough to watch NJPW live on a weekend
---

Hot take: Marc Mero was actually really good, especially as Johnny B Badd
---

Also How long is progress weekly show ?
---

they don't have a weekly show, they just do events. usually 2 a month, clocking between 2:30 and 3.
---

my favourite thing about progress btw and reason i was able to jump in and watch so easily is there are numbered chapter events, which they are up to 74 of, and that is all you need to watch to follow effectively

Also please read this tweet about Roman Reigns because it cracked me up to no end:

https://twitter.com/paetercarnivals/status/1024832171104772099

How do I get in on this payday?

I will post positive Roman stuff for money.
---

The Roman payday thing is hilarious, and if it was true I would think that should be the end for Vince. Giving away money to try and make people cheer a guy you've decided will be popular that nobody else likes because you're unwilling to go with someone that's actually over is just plain wrong.

If that spreads enough, I wonder if it's something WWE will have to respond to. I could see people who really, really despise Roman claiming they got those payouts just to make things worse. Imagining the snowball effect that could happen if things go far enough is kind of fun.
---

Vince is someone who'd literally put their house on something they believed in.
---

I can't believe it would be true, but it sounds JUST CREDIBLE ENOUGH that some people will believe it.

Lopen, do you not get PopTV?

Also as another alternative, if your Roku can get the FITE app you can watch ROH

I don't get PopTV.

ROH I actually used to watch until they took it off COMET.

Will look into this FITE app as well as the later mentioned GWN app.
---

I don't think the idea that somehow thousands of wrestling fans were paid somehow 5.8 million in total is credible with no one leaking it sooner, NDA or not.

I'd prefer it be real though for the comedy.
---

Yeah, I don't for a second believe that 5.8 million dollars has been paid out and literally nobody has leaked it, but it's funny nonetheless
---

The Joe promo made me want to see a promo where someone says fuck my kids

Hello, Operator?!
---

Damn, I got called out the last time GTM and I posted about it being unnecessary to tell us about plans to not watch RAW.

Also, as much as I hate Roman, I'd be more than happy to pretend to like him if I was getting paid. Everyone has a price.
---

Everybody's gonna pay
---

Most of the MDM gimmick luxury items came from Vince anyway <_<
---

does anyone know what comes in the Woo edition to 2k19?
---

ric flair does
---

Been watching my Rise and Fall of WCW DVD set recently (purchased for a lean Fiver); They really know how to do Tag Matches back then; Rock 'n' Roll Express v Midnight Express (I like this for Cornette's antics ringside and even attempting to fight the ref!), Midnight Express v Southern Boys, Steiners vs Sting/Luger.

Some real Barnburners on Disc 2.

I would have said the centrepiece of that disc would be the Chi-Town Rumble if I didn't already have it on the Greatest Stars of the 80s Set.

Crowds went fucking MENTAL back then.

Miz vs. Daniel Bryan at SummerSlam feels like the hypest thing just because it's had three years of build-up with no actual match
