Jericho match was good, dunno why so many people are moaning about it. Bit weird that EVIL just tapped out though. Wrestle Kingdom card is looking not bad so far.
Takahashi vs Omega
Okada vs Jay White
Jericho vs Naito
Goto vs Ospreay

Anyone who watched Crown Jewel deserves the pile of gooseberry fool they served up.
Power Struggle was really good other than Lord Taichi losing his belt

That's alright, as long as it leads to the Ibushi v Ospreay match that it originally should have been, at some point down the line.

The crowd reaction to Zack Gibson on episode 2 of NXT UK is amazing.

I LOVED Jericho vs. EVIL. It was my favourite match on the card. The Tag League final was ace too. I wish Bushi and Takagi had won it though. Takagi is becoming one of my favourites in such a short space of time. Enjoyed the whole show. Such a blessing after Crown Jewel.

Strangely, they're having the same match for the Junior Tag Titles again at the Dome. Kind of makes the tag league pointless

Spoiler from RAW in Manchester tonight:
They’ve put the tag belts on the Authors of Pain after defeating Seth Rollins in a handicap match.

Someone post the botchamania episode with crown jewel when it gets made. Sounds like it has the makings of a classic.

I have no idea what the attendance actually was but why post pics of the crowd an hour before the event starts? Just makes it look like you are trying to fake a story. If there were only 5,000 there then wait for the event to start and take some photos of the empty areas then.
I’m not doubting that attendances are down, I had an email last week offering floor seats for just over £30 each for the Birmingham house show. They were the last few rows but I believe these seats would normally be a hell of a lot more than that. Incidentally I went to the Birmingham house show in May which took place on the same night as the SD tapping in London and the NEC was a near sell out. So it shows how bad interest in the UK must have fallen since May.
