are TM61 officially renamed to The Mighty? Because that name change was long overdue.

I hope Otis Dozovic can join War Raiders because it doesn't seem like WWE has too much faith in Heavy Machinery as a team and I really love Otis.

Wow, throwing shade onto Heavy Machinery, the best tag team in the company. If Otis joins the war raiders, that means we get no more worm or anything like that. :colbert:

I gotta be honest, I was never really sold on Ciampa before this takeover. I knew Gargano was loving incredible, but Ciampa seemed to me like a lot of his heat just came from being paired against one of the greatest faces wwe has ever had.

After this takeover I'm 100% on board with him and look forward to him having a long career of getting his smug worthless rear end kicked over and over.

Ciampa was incredible in ROH. He does the modern day "psycho" wrestler better than anyone today. Hell, the only awful match I can remember him having in ROH was with Colt Cabana, which is no surprise.

I love Heavy Machinery but I'm not quite sure that the people in charge do. But lets face it, nobody really cares about Tucker Knight.

Probably Network

Also when they say series - is this like a full-on WEEKLY series, or some dumb poo poo where they do a few "big events" under the brand and then forget about it until it's Rumble/Mania/etc. weekend? The way the WWE UK stuff has gone gives me little faith that they'll actually do something cool and good, but if this is a straight up new weekly show (hopefully right after NXT each week?) then I'm excited.

They're doing a series of 8 tapings so it sounds like it's going to be a limited run weekly shows so I reckon they're trying to get it on a station here (Channel 4 would be a good fit). We don't really do year round television in the UK apart from our major soap operas so there's no way they'd get that kinda deal here.

The taping schedule looks pretty similar to the regular NXT one, though. I assumed the exact opposite of Rarity and it's just going on the Network, and they're taping like 8 weeks at a time.

I've got to say I really enjoyed Vic Joseph's commentary. Gives off a really professional vibe, more of a sports feel and much less wacky than mauro.
That whole team was probably the best in the WWE at the moment (high praise..), even Percy Watson is completely fine as the third wheel much better than coach or byron.

@WWENXT is tweeting spoilers for the UK tapings so you might wanna give em a quick unfollow if you wanna be surprised when they air next weekend

I always operated this thread under "official tweets aren't spoilers" rules but I have a feeling Rarity may have differing opinions on spoilers than me :v:

They're presumably trying to leverage these specials into a spot on free to air, or failing that Freeview. They need more eyeballs than the Network or Sky to take on WOS/ITV. If they can't find a taker then it'll be on the Network.

Just to make it clear, WWE might be openly spoiling this stuff on their social media feeds but until the episodes in question have aired, keep stuff under spoiler tags for those of us who choose not to inflict social media on our lives and are lucky enough to avoid spoilers elsewhere.

Oh my god. From the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter:

quote:

Daniel Vidot, a Rugby League player in Australia who just signed with the company, and starts next month at the Performance Center with people like Io Shirai and Keith Lee, said that his wrestling name will be the Samoan Ghost. Vidot, 28, was convinced by Jimmy Uso to sign with WWE. In doing so, he will be bringing his girlfriend, Danielle Glanville, a singer and performer on the Gold Coast of Australia with him,. He said that Jimmy Uso told him how hard it will be for his girlfriend with the travel

That is a very good and funny wrestling name right there. :allears:
