Hi, I'm CobiWann, and I'm a dirty capitalist, and I think this is loving fantastic news.

Would this have any effect for British wrestlers doing events here in America?

I don't watch much NJPW but I watched Omega/Okada because of the hype and the camerawork, while a bit off at times was so much better than WWE.

I re-subbed to the Network on the day of Mania just so I could avoid watching it at a bar. I'm planning on canceling it after SummerSlam, but will likely sub right back to it in time for Survivor Series because I am a stupid idiot!

Honestly surprised they didn't put Asuka on there if they put Dunne on there

Edit: Has Lesnar had more televised defenses than Dunne?

5 or 6 years ago (or maybe longer at this point) someone who worked for WWE wrote something or said on a podcast how Kevin Dunn wasn't really any good he just doesn't take any risks. It feels like since then he's tried to do as many stupid things as possible to prove them wrong.

Yeah I enjoyed it, Kenny using a golden Cody skin was super fun, and it was nice to see players who are good but not pro-level fight it out, a nice change of pace from watching people who generally maximize every hit and work in tons of mixups.

I really liked Kenny just letting Big E hit him for more than half his health and then beating him anyway.

With someone like him I have no doubt that one comment on a podcast would cause him to change his entire work style just to say 'nuh uh'

That's right and I remember it being broadcasted a lot more like a sporting event. That's what I always liked about wcw's production too. Wwe seems like they try and go for a cinematic look but it just ends up looking like a kids show.

The mandate from Vince is to make it look like a movie. Which is strange when you see Lucha Underground do a better job of that.

Dave said Vince isn't committing to/confirming any dates for Brock, so while the expectation is still him vs Reigns is the Summerslam main event, the current reality is Brock's literally not scheduled for anything right now for the company the rest of the year :lol:

They are. They hyped that up during New Day's crazy long title reign.

Demolition still holds the record for any tag reign in the company, but those belts were decommissioned a long time ago.

Isn't that the record they broke? Because Demolition was suing WWE or something?

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

Completely unrelated, but I had a thought that maybe all the new cash that has been thrown at the WWE of late, (from the Saudis and Fox), will be eaten up by the insane money pit that the new version of the XFL will inevitably become.

Or will there be rules in place that say Vince can't use WWE money to play with his pretend footballers?

We have an administration that probably wouldn’t enforce those rules, if they exist, anyway.
