It means Tozawa still has a match for dragon's gate and gallagher has a date or two left for progress

I'd point out that Metalik also still had dates for CMLL, but Alberto proves Vince doesn't give a gently caress about the big Mexican promotions.

The luchadors don't give a gently caress about their promotions, especially when they make much better money doing dates in the States thanks to the strength of the dollar.

But yeah, Tozawa still has a Dream Gate challenge coming up for his farewell to the company, so him not being on Raw yet makes sense.

before Metalik was pulled from CMLL tonight they announced him for next Friday's show and he just announced himself for their tuesday show on twitter so idk what's going on with him. I'd guess CMLL pulled him tonight not that he no-showed but nothing will stop them from pulling him from those shows too

According to some Spanish website from 2 hours ago Metallik is scheduled to appear on RAW "esta lunes" which, for those of you who don't habla espanol, is Spanish for "on the Moon"

DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
I gained a soft spot for Jeff Jarrett as a kid because in WWF Magazine they always asked the wrestlers the same questions, one of which was "What is your favorite video game?" 99% of them always said "I don't play games," but Aztec Jeff Jarrett said his favorite was Goldeneye 007 which made me think he must be kinda cool.

I was right.

I too hope no-one goes to Smackdown, thus leaving AJ Styles to wrestle Dean Ambrose and the Miz for 90 minutes every Tuesday, following the weekly 30 minute Iron Woman match between Becky and Nikki.

EDIT: Oh, WWE.com just posted the confirmed list of cruisers for RAM this Monday. It's TJP, Metalik, TBK, Cedric, Noam Dar, Swann and Lince Dorado. Notably no Tozawa or Gallagher, and I'm all for the local lad done good, but Noam Dar on Raw before Tozawa either means Tozawa didn't sign or WWE have no loving clue.

It'd be really weird for the Dream Gate champ to show up on Raw.

Tozawa vs YAMATO on the 22nd (late night 21st) and you should all watch it. Bring tissues because the aftermath of that poo poo's gonna be sadder than Uhaa's farewell.

He was in the biggest-drawing match TNA ever did. Two of them, I think. And his Takeover match with Nakamura was seen by more people than Summerslam.

its difficult to say when this decision was made but there are other advantages to tjp winning i.e. a handsome boy who speaks english

he's a luchador they work the most dates with the most injuries of anyone i dont think that's why he was not there tonight

from the observer last year



I think it's CMLL where they drink to get through injuries and AAA where they :2bong: to get through injuries

Is this Miz thing implying he might jump to Raw? This and the Swagger thing seems to indicate "contract negotiations" are the new gimmick for talent exchange between shows. It's going to get old quickly, but it's new, I'll give them that.

WWE Network's "Top watched programmes" doesn't count live views for whatever reason - so far more people watched Summerslam live than NXT Takeover, but that wasn't counted and so initially "more" people watched Takeover through the on-demand service. As time has gone on Summerslam has surpassed Takeover in on-demand views as well, but initially Summerslam was far more of a "draw" as a live viewing experience than Takeovern was.

This is not to say that Takeover's numbers weren't impressive or that it wasn't a massive success, because it was, it's just that Summerslam was bigger - as it should be, it is one of WWE's Big 4 PPVs and they've been trying to sell it as the Summer version of Wrestlemania for a few years now.

Edit: I have taken down the erroneous spelling of Takeover :sweatdrop:
