    According to PWInsider Daniel Bryan was hurt in Dublin. Out for a month seemingly.

    Did anyone notice what spot it was?

    He was barely in the ring the whole match. I'd say 3 minutes tops. I'm not sure if he was stopped doing the missile drop-kick but when he did the flip over and went to the top he hit Barrett with meek looking axe-handle.

    Perhaps it was all that ferocious "Yes" gesturing while he was on the ring apron?

    WWE posted this which could mean nothing but gives a pretty big hint towards what the plan for the Payback main event could be:

    Batista on whether he would return to WWE:
    I would (go back), I love wrestling. I talked to Chris Jericho, who is a good friend of mine, recently and he does a lot of untelevised events and that's all he does. I think I may take that path and try to do untelevised events because the television... you're just too locked in, you're too locked into the scripts, which I don't think are great these days. I don't want to be locked in, I just want to entertain the fans. So I may try to go that path.

    According to Wrestle zone, Joey Samoay will debut in June.

    Oh, and the little matter of Rovert's tweet being quoted and screen capped in relation to a new NXT rookie, in the same article!

    Not surprising WWE is high on Dylan Mile. All it takes if for a guy to have a good look, and WWE/Vince McMahon will blow their load. It's his talent that I'm worried about. Is he a good talker? can he wrestle? does he have a character everybody can get behind? Can he do anything other then look good for the camera?

    He talks in a Andre The Giant style voice. Never heard it myself.

    PWInsider:
    Dolph Ziggler took to Twitter with a long rant that appeared to be lashing out with frustration about how he is perceived and used and teases he might be finishing up in several months.

    During the rant, which you can read below, Ziggler comments, "You've got 5 months to prove that I need you. THIS is for everyone screwed over bc they did what they weren't supposed to do - GET OVER it. you mad bro? sad, for a guy who never loses."

    I empathise with him. He was M-A-D-E at Survivor Series but they never followed up on it. Then like with Ambrose WWE put the thumb on him so not to usurp Roman Reigns.

    I don't care if it's a work or a shoot but that grammar is atrocious! Inexcusable!

    That ties in with the match on Sunday with Sheamus a bit too much for me to take it as legitimate!

    It almost belongs in the dumb facebook status thread

    Good to see him lacing up the boots again and against styles too!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,089 ✭✭✭✭rovert


    Odd:
    The WWE Network will air live action this Tuesday at 8 PM under the "King of the Ring" banner, using the logo of the old WWE PPV, so they are bringing back the concept (and perhaps the full tournament) in some fashion starting this week.

    Update:
    Tuesday, April 28
    King of the Ring – 8 ET/ 5 PT
    Continuing the action from Monday's Raw, the King of the Ring Tournament semi-finals and finals will take place live on the award-winning WWE Network.


  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 24,993 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc


    That's great news and a great use of the Network. It's exactly what I imagined the network would be used for!

    Only question is, why haven't they advertised the life out of this?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,096 ✭✭✭✭the groutch


    They missed a trick not having this while Sandow was heel, now I'd say Barrett will win it.

    Does giving themselves a Slammy count as an award.

    So.....Evan Bourne and Eddie Edwards wha?

    Allegedly.

  • Registered Users Posts: 465 ✭✭billion dollar baby


    Well since this is the Rumour thread I guess it's ok to post.

    There were some leaked nudes doing the rounds on Twitter over the weekend involving these two.

    Evans were taken from a gay hookup app while Eddies were allegedly sent to a transgendered wrestler.

    No judgement from me. Live and let live but I just think it's weird that this seems to have become a "thing". First Seth and now these guys. Surely if you are a recognisable face this is a risk you take


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,611 ✭✭✭✭ERG89


    Don't even know the story but it'll be quite a while before anything tops that Kyle Walker one from the weekend :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,166 ✭✭✭Stereomaniac


    I just googled Kyle Walker video. I don't think I'll go any further with that piece of research.

    What on earth was Booker thinking saying that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,166 ✭✭✭Stereomaniac




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,101 ✭✭✭MitchKoobski


    Can't imagine he ever meant in the context everyone seems to be putting it under.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,911 ✭✭✭bradlente


    It was obviously in the context of the Neville gimmick and getting him over,I thought it was fairly innocuous.JBL's comment beforehand was as stupid if not more so saying Owen was a high-flyer but not in that sort of way,it's pretty idiotic to go near the subject in the context of match action anyway.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,013 ✭✭✭✭jaykhunter


    Yep, PC madness again. Only ***hole fans would immediately link the comment to Owen's death, and turn it into a big enough hoopla so he has to publicly apologise. Of course Booker referenced Neville's 'man that gravity forgot' moniker and was praising him for being a better high flyer than the great Owen Hart. It's sad that the complainers, no matter how ignorant and wrong, get so much power.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,905 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    A fitting Catch Phrase

    Written down it looks awful but said out loud you can see how it was a genuine foot in mouth moment. And it's Booker, i'd give him the benefit of the doubt on that panel over the others any day.

    Plus it's actually a great joke.. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,278 ✭✭✭x43r0


    Any clip of the comment floating about?

    I didn't watch Raw and can't find it online


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,905 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    It was edited out of the 90 mintue RAW on Hulu.
