    Same things with all media. Politics, T.V., Film etc. They will leak what they want and spin the rest to suit the narrative the company wants.

    ACH back to MLW, love to see it. Exciting few weeks coming up for the company with this and the Opera Cup, which by all accounts judging from the taping reports was excellent.

    And he has quit wrestling completely today.
    I hate pro wrestling.

    I hate you ****y fans that think you know it all! More importantly i hate the snakes in this industry.

    None of y’all would never say anything about me to me.

    All of y’all can go screw yourselves.

    I’m canceling my shows AND I’m quitting pro wrestling

    Tito Ortiz just defeated Alberto Del Rio via rear naked choke (in the 1st round) and according to the commentator on the stream I randomly found just won a WWE world championship (Del Rio's old one) but making me laugh points out that he would not be the lineal WWE world champ as thats Brock. Tito apparently recently said that after he won it he wanted to come after Brock & Cain in the WWE (even though those two would probably kill him despite no longer competing in the non scripted sport anymore).

    How wrestling has changed in 20 years. Skip to 3:00 and watch for 10 seconds :pac: (or watch for 25 seconds for the ultimate one)

    Fair play to Sami. Most people (not just wrestlers) would've just ignored ignored that. Sami is one of the better people in the industry and stupidly under-used.

    Thank God we've moved forward 20 years.

    The Fox promotion in the US has already exposed the idea that WWE needs exposure to grow.

    People are familiar with it. They're not interested because it's stupid carny bull****, now more than ever. If even ONE person decides to give WWE a try based on all this advertising on BT I will be surprised.

    The advertising is very dismissive. Both commentators were more or less taking the piss out of it.

    I'm a wrestling fan, I can take the piss out of it but when outsiders do it, that's not cool!

    This is what always happens.

    It is ***so*** redundant.

    People know what pro wrestling is. Grown men and women are not going to watch it because Steve McManaman or Jake Humphrey make jokes taking the piss out of it.

    WWE started to file trademerks on all the old WCW/ECW PPV names they haven't used since buying them up.

    I guess they weren't impressed with Cody getting there on some them first.

    Nxt UK wrestler piper Niven has tweeted that she has Bell's palsy. Fairly ****ty news for a wrestler who is good at what she does and seems like a very nice person. Hopefully it's mild.

    Steve Mcmanaman and Jake Humphrey are two of the worst on TV they can't be shaming anything

    Seeing Kevin Owens talking about Chris Sutton really hammers home what a missed opportunity WWE on Sky has been. Could have had Scott Steiner on Soccer Saturday
