The Wrestling Thread II: WrestleMania 33 - 7 HOURS

When you put that up against the price of the WWE Network...

No Chance In Hell as Vince would say.

Challenge will be showing Bound for Glory (presuming it takes place) next Saturday (8 Oct) at 9pm.

Royal Rumble 2017 is going to be held in the Alamo Dome in San Antonia, Texas. the 1997 rumble was held there and drew 60,477. I remember watching it but had completed forgotten that it was the only rumble held in a stadium rather than arena.

No news yet on whether it will be the full stadium setup going for a large crowd or if it will be in a reduced capacity how they hold basketball and ice hockey in the stadium.

Saturday night, time for my weekly jaunt into the Wrestling thread for WCPW Loaded.

Bit dull this week compared to last week. Needs more Kirbyoke.

Hmm, yeah I totally get what you are saying and it's hard to argue with. But I guess the WWE has SO many fans, them charging $9.99 is so so much profit with the lower margin. Wheras these guys, if they were to charge say $2 a sub, they wouldn't make money probably. I guess they have worked out what their audience is and determined what they need to break even and then make some money. Kind of like how food in a corner store costs more compared to a big chain - because the big chain can get away with charging less due to volume of punters.

I only watch wtf moments

Happy that Sasha got the belt, not so much that it was just on an episode of Raw though (again!). Sasha deserves better. I kind of hope Charlotte has a brief hiatus and they let Dana and Emmalina (not sure I like the name change) shine as heels. Speaking of heels, it really feels like Roman is the heel of this Rusev feud. He attacked him prior to a match and laid him out at SummerSlam, crashed his wedding celebration, is frequently abusive to Lana. Kind of looking forward to seeing them go at it in a Cell. It's weird, it actually feels like Roman is much better now in the ring than he ever was. It feels like he's actually trying to earn his spot back. Jericho completely stole the show again though. So amazing. Also I don't get why The New Day keep getting cheap heel victories.

Looking forward to Bound For Glory (I've avoided spoilers so far) at the weekend and No Mercy.

WWE RAW October 3rd Highlights

(49:12)

Hour 1

Hour 2









Hour 3

Not a bad raw this week really.

I'm really loving Jericho. I have a feeling that it's all heading towards a mid card match between Jericho and Owens at mania though. Owens wont still have the title by then.

Is Charlotte off somewhere or something? Bit surprised she dropped the title so soon after having just re won it. I'm still expecting Bayley to win the title at Wrestlemania though.

What i would really like to see is a women's royal rumble. Maybe 15 participants or something. Have bayley win that.

Danny masterson always seems so grumpy, no wonder he's had to resort to just making a living by hanging around with Ashton.

I'm also really no feeling the cruiserweights at the moment. Just not finding the matches interesting.

[Mafro]

What's with Jericho's LIST that he's always carrying about with him? It's a lot funnier than it has any right to be.

That's because TJ Perkins is the most bland human being alive.

Sheamus calling Cesaro a cheeky bastard on Raw

Looks like WWE are about to announce Goldberg vs. Brock Lesnar II for Survivor Series. In Canada. I mean what could possibly go wrong...

Watching some old ECW on the Network and when it came to The Sandman's entrance I was thinking could WWE not have at least got Motorhead's version?

[BAKA]

Really happy with the TNA news. Continuing under Corgan with the tape library being sold to WWE to put on the network. Pretty much the best result for me. Can't wait to see some of the older stuff hit the network.

Strange but great news all round. I wonder where the cut off point is/will be though? Unless they're going to have to change the name of the company and BFG16 is the last "TNA" show? Surely Billy will call the company "Smashing Heads In" if a name change is required.

Just finished watching the main event of RAW. Am I the only one who spent the match thinking the entirety of Sasha's hair extensions were going to come off? I was wondering if it was going to play into the conclusion of the match and Charlotte was going to pull it off to reveal what I presume would be braids underneath and then roll her up for a cheap win.

I've noticed her high hairline too. I wouldn't b surprised if she's really bold underneath.

Was Shane not SD again? Was he on last week? I don't remember him being there. He hasn't tweeted since September 12th.

The one that wasn't Kenny of the Spirit Squad hasn't aged too well...

I'm more excited for No Mercy than I have been for a WWE PPV in quite some time. They've done a really great job hyping it up. The storylines have definitely been more engaging the last month on SD
