Jim Ross announced today on his blog that he will be the play-by-play announcer for the WWE U.K. television show, teaming with Nigel McGuinness.

 

The first shows were taped on Saturday and Sunday in Norwich, England.

 

As of what we've heard, the shows will be broken up into weekly one-hour shows, similar to NXT, airing on the WWE Network. At the tapings, it was announced that the first episode would be debuting before the end of the month.

Triple H also tweeted the same thing.

 

Ross will continue to also do weekly television for AXS and New Japan Pro Wrestling due to the unique contract situation he has, so he will be announcing for the two largest pro wrestling companies in the world at the same time.

 

On his blog, he also noted that AXS would be making the announcement on May 18th of its broadcast plans for the New Japan shows on July 1st and July 2nd in Long Beach. The deal to air those events on AXS has been in talks for months. The events will also air live with Kevin Kelly and Don Callis on New Japan World.

So as an old person now, and someone who grew up with GLOW around (though I think I was kinda older by the time it showed up anyways, but I digress lol) this trailer (and I assume the series itself) nailed the look and feel of the original. I mean, this could literally be a new season of the original GLOW for all we know :D

^^ If you can find them someplace, I highly recommend them. I mean, don't go in expecting amazing wrestling or anything - its more of a nostalgia trip kinda thing. But some of the women and their characters were just AMAZING back then lol Plus some of them were so over the top, it was honestly astonishing they got away with some of them :D

 

Also, a few of the women involved probably could legit have been women wrestlers. Dunno if any of them ever did transition over to actual wrestling though after GLOW closed down.

I am old enough that I actually *watched* GLOW when it was first on!  Big Bad Momma was actually on an episode of Married with Children, and beat the stuffins out of Al Bundy.  And Roller Derby was fun also.

Yup, I still remember seeing her on Married With Children and yelling at the TV at my friends house and he looked at me like i was nuts heh.

...so, WWE's UK special went up on Friday. Good show there. Then Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate only go and top their UK title tournament final match at NXT Takeover Chicago last night (with JR on commentary as the cherry on top). Bloody hell, that one's almost certainly an MOTY contender.

 

I think it's safe to say even with Nakamura vs. Ziggler tonight, Backlash isn't gonna top Takeover Chicago.

    • 25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design

      By Noveed · Posted

      No updated SSD capacity, no updated specs (not surprised tbf), just nostalgia baiting! Bring back the boot sequence and the UI as an easter egg!
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case

      Why? It will just cost so much more and make you PC poor and they become PC rich off your calamities! “Just because you can” isn’t a flex either!.

      It's the game developers' fault.
    • Microsoft confirms a new, useful Teams' app is coming very soon

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft confirms a new, useful Teams' app is coming very soon by Sayan Sen In the modern digital workspace meeting recordings and summaries are very commonplace, still finding the right recap later can be surprisingly difficult. To address that inconvenience Microsoft is working on a new dedicated meeting recap application designed to bring all meeting recaps into a single, centralized location. In a recent announcement on its Microsoft 365 roadmap website, the company has confirmed the new applet and has explained how the new experience will work and why it believes it can help users stay on top of discussions without having to search through multiple chats, calendars, or files. For those unfamiliar, meeting recaps provide a summary of key discussions, decisions, action items, and other relevant information generated after a meeting ends. They are intended to help participants revisit important points while also allowing those who missed the meeting to quickly catch up on what happened. Traditionally locating older recaps could require users to navigate through various conversations or meeting histories. The new meeting recap app aims to simplify that process by gathering all available recaps into one dedicated hub. According to Microsoft, this should make it easier to browse past meetings, review outcomes, and stay informed about ongoing projects and discussions. One notable feature of the applet is the addition of quick filters which are meant to allow users to instantly narrow down the list of available recaps and surface specific meetings without manually searching through extensive records. Audio recap is also there. If you're wondering how long these recaps will last before self-expiring, the app will provide access to meeting recaps from the past 30 days or approximately one month. You can view the feature entry here on the official Microsoft 365 (M365) website under roadmap ID 564614. Its rollout is set to begin this month (June 2026). Do keep in mind though that new feature rollouts often get delayed.
