People all over forums saying how the PostMania crowd were terrible and it makes the show unsuitable for children...

 

The night after a man punched and dragged his elbow across the forehead of another man, spilling about a pint of blood across the canvass and his own face.

(watching Lesnar do that to Reigns and Orton made me really uncomfortable)

Hats off to Joe Hendry for at least making it to the Commonwealth Games, especially since he's only been at it for about four years and even became the UK champion late last year.

The WWE United Kingdom Championship Tournament events at Royal Albert Hall are beginning to take shape, as WWE.com has confirmed that a one-night tournament, a Six-Man Tag Team Match and several title defenses are slated for the historic back-to-back shows on June 18 and 19.

 

The events kick off with a United Kingdom Championship Tournament on Monday, June 18. Though the competitors have yet to be revealed, it is now known that the winner of the tournament will earn an opportunity to challenge WWE United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne the following night inside London’s most vaunted venue.

 

The BruiserWeight will also be in action on June 18, teaming with Moustache Mountain (Tyler Bate & Trent Seven) to face NXT’s Undisputed ERA. This match announcement comes on the heels of Roderick Strong’s betrayal of Dunne, and subsequent joining with Undisputed ERA, at NXT TakeOver: New Orleans. Will Dunne lead his fellow proponents of British Strong Style to victory against the black-and-yellow brand’s most controversial faction?

 

In addition to Dunne’s title defense against the tournament winner, the event on Tuesday, June 19, will feature three NXT Championship Matches, including an NXT North American Championship Match, an NXT Women’s Championship Match and an NXT Tag Team Championship Match. Adam Cole, Shayna Baszler and Undisputed ERA are the current titleholders, respectively, but with NXT TakeOver: Chicago happening just days before the WWE United Kingdom Championship Tournament events this June, there’s no telling who will be champions when WWE returns to Royal Albert Hall for the first time since 1991.

Unsurprisingly, the tickets cost a bomb, starting at £56.50 (~$80), then £67.80 (~$96.50) and finally, £84.75 (~$120). But holy ######, British Strong Style vs. The Undisputed Era! :woot:

 

The shows will look amazing in The Royal Albert Hall; it may only hold about 5,500, but there's a very good reason why it's so revered.

Wait, don't get me wrong or anything I love Steiner (even though he's so over the top it isn't funny) but, the dude can't wrestle anymore. Literally. Last time I saw him in a ring, it was like Kurt Angle, but 10x worse. Can't turn his head/neck without turning his entire body plus he could hardly walk. Unless they did some amazing miraculous surgery on him that I don't know about in the last few years - how the hell is he going to wrestle? Now if he's just a mouth piece, that'll be fun to listen to sure lol (Plus if his back and neck are so bad, wouldn't it be like - bad or something for him to wrestle??)

 

That Sacrifice interview btw, gets me every time :D Glad Impact/TNA literally posted it themselves heh.

Well, he did wrestle at the Impact vs. Lucha Underground show last week, so feel free to witness the trainwreck! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/247553403?t=00h35m16s

 

I'm sure Don Callis knows what he's doing; it'll probably just be Eli Drake carrying him for most of the match. Like you said, he's worth having on just as a talker, as this week's episode proved...

Yeah, no idea why Impact thought it was a good idea to bring him back in, considering how super limited he is in the ring. Just as a talker, sure. But why wrestle then? Regardless, I guess its cool he's back into a major promotion (is Impact still considered a major promotion anymore though?) and still has a passion for doing it - I guess.

I think it is; they've still got a national TV deal in America, and so do ROH, who are definitely considered major nowadays, especially considering who owns them.

    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
    • This Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 32GB RAM with RGB is a great deal for limited time

      By xMorpheousx416 · Posted

      I'm missing the beginning part of this equation... but for the sake of the convo, you don't get to take a $250(?) set of normally priced RAM, jack it up to over $500/600/800 just because of a market shift, then lower it back down to more than what it was originally and call that a "sale". Not the author of this post... the manufacturer/seller.

    • Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      It is, but it also has a bad performance reputation even on high-end gaming PCs. Some people say it's the engine's fault, others say it's the games developers' fault, who knows... At the end of the day, for the average gamer, the take is this: PC game with Unreal Engine 5? Be affraid and cross your fingers, it's a 50/50 chance.
