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.

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...

 

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.

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?
