Lack of Grado is ridiculous.  Boy did he back the wrong horse...

Not just Grado, either; no Joe Hendry, Will Ospreay, Zack Sabre Jr., Jimmy Havoc, Martin Kirby, El Ligero, Rampage Brown, Marty Scurll, Pastor William Eaver, Lewis Girvan, Chris Renfrew, Mikey Whiplash, Kenny Williams, not even Big Damo, who just debuted on NXT last week. No Drew Galloway or Mark Andrews, either, for the same reasons as Grado. Still, it's nice to see WWE give us a bit more attention than usual; thank you, ITV. :p

Yeah, kinda figured Nigel would go to WWE, but not with something like this. This is pretty sweet. Real good on HHH (I assume its his idea, as anything decent these days idea wise comes from him probably lol) to do this for our UK wrestling brothers and sisters. Good to see so many names I actually know now after checking out ICW and a few other promotions over beyond the pond.

 

Still, kinda disappointed Grado isn't there as Nefarious said. Maybe he'll be added down the road, or there will be some feedback and WWE will go for him then. Who knows.

 

And I'd doubt very much Drew Galloway would want to do WWE again. I mean, he went from literally the next John Cena expectation to, nothing? Good wrestler, can tell a good story in the ring and all. But the WWE fans just never cared and never let him get over in any significant way. Don't think that'll change now, unless the UK thing just stays in the UK and its literally like NXT where its almost a separate promotion.

He was fined 250 k of his 2.5million prize and suspended for 1 yr retroactive to July 9th 2016 ...........He SHOULD be fined the entire purse, the win vacated, and banned for a full year.

Total Nonstop Deletion got put up online a day early, so I just watched it... :omg:

 

All I'll say is check your brain at the door and you'll laugh your arse off. Two criticisms, though...

Spoiler
  1. They never showed the end of the world title match.
  2. No Bucks of Youth.

So uh, you guys think they are really gonna pull the trigger on a Cena heel turn? Because it sure sounded like they were teasing a heel Cena on SDL last night.

Nah, they probably just teased it because they were in Chicago.

 

Speaking of which...

Not gonna lie, that was a pretty good jab at Punk lol

 

Also, wow. Maybe I just noticed, but man Stephanie is starting to look a bit rough these days. Like, her face is way more rounded looking to me, and looks really odd to boot. I mean, she's still quite attractive don't get me wrong and I know she's not 22 anymore or however old she was back in 1999 etc. But jeez. HHH kinda is also going that route, but because he's like super ripped still it doesn't look as bad to me?

    • Apple's AI smart glasses and Vision headset plans reportedly delayed, again

      By AnalystDan · Posted

      Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS

    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By grunger106 · Posted

      So, an article that has nothing to do with Windows 11, still gets Windows 11 in the title and a build number as the picture? Dell have a buggy build of Support Assist HP have UEFI settings that need unlocking for the secureboot cert upgrade to take place.
    • I Can't Wrap My Head Around This Number - Google to buy computing from SpaceX at $920 million per month

      By Nick H. · Posted

      What I can't seem to understand is that Google are paying SpaceX? Surely it would be the other way round, with SpaceX needing Google's datacenters etc.? Oh well, this level of money and power is way outside of my comprehension at the best of times.
