    Haha yup.

    If tonight was in front of a US crowd it would have been meh, even if the wrestling was at the standard it was tonight.

    A hot crowd lifts these middling shows so much.

    Vince McMahon yet again proves that he's a fucking moron for not doing this year's ago.

    I always find it amazing how ‘geniuses’ can be such morons at the same time.

    Fair, couldn't tell you what that one is! I only know via football and I can recall the 98 anthems!

    I think if you ask a mod they can restore it. If so we can just merge or delete this thread.

    Aye I actually confused Jamaica and South Africa (which is the one I really like). So I’m clearly not an expert either haha.

    French National anthem is the best in the world. Only Italy can come close.

    Want to agree but showing an ignorance of some belting national anthems. Check out South Africa as an example.

    RVD’s title win was pretty special. Just a shame it convinced bosses to go ahead with that b*****dised version of ECW for a few years.

    I was stupidly excited for that RVD run when I was younger. Perhaps in 2024 he wouldn't of been clamped down on as hard for the 'erb.

  5. I've had a few beers but even taking that into account this is a top 3 all time crowd I've seen in WWE. Maybe even number 1 but we'll see how the night progresses when presumably nothing major will happen. Was similar last night with smackdown tbf.

    Didn’t seem to be much in it at the time, which their manager has pretty much confirmed after the game. Felt tight and taken off as a precaution with the playoffs in mind.

    Essen - Cologne, you can travel for free if you hold a match ticket within the VRR and VRS zones on the map. Valid 6am matchday to 6pm following day on regional trains only.

    Essen - Stuttgart, you should buy a ticket in advance, you won’t be covered with your match ticket.

    Perfect mate, thanks for confirming that. 

  8. Sorry to be a pain but can’t seem to get my head round this. I’ll be based in Essen for matches two and three. Will my match ticket get me train travel to Cologne for match two? I’m assuming I’ll have to book a train for match three in Stuttgart.

    As I mentioned earlier, yes it's negative publicity but it's publicity none the less. As an example this thread would normally have two maybe three posts after an episode of Dynamite. 

    Still think it is a very petty and ill-concieved idea but can't deny it has people talking

    It’s publicity for Punk. A guy who doesn’t work for them anymore.

    Personally, I can't stand Cody Rhodes. His dyed hair, that fucking tattoo, his voice. I was pleased that he won cos it was quite the spectacle and a change was needed, but hopefully he's just a temporary titleholder until they can put the title on someone else. Maybe Gunther :wub:

    I'm actually the same. Can't take to him at all. Watching him trying to force out a tear during that video package on Raw was cringeworthy. He has done some good work recently and is far improved on the Cody Rhodes that was getting booed out of buildings on AEW but I suspect now the Rock's away I'm going to be bored stiff by him quickly. 

    As the leader of the new era though you've got to think he's gonna be given a good run of it. 

  11. Why on earth would they release something that corroborates Punk's version of events? If he'd lied or tarted things up to make himself look a badass then ok, probably still not a good idea to further AEW, but it would at least cement the idea for their fanbase that Punk is a liar and the company plays face. But this, at this time? Just comes across as desperate by a child owner who is crumbling under the pressure. They'll be ridiculed and rightfully so. Hopefully something is learned from this by Tony and they can move on but I'm really starting to have my doubts.

    Nah, Cody needs to be winning it himself without any retired lads coming to help him. It would make him look like a bit of a bitch if he needed Stone Cold and John Cena to help him win the big one.

    Imagine if a retired legend helped out Stone Cold at Mania 14.

    The Backlash 2000 thing made some sense because Austin was still a wrestler and wanted revenge on a noted rival (even though we didnt know HHH had him run down, he'd still been feuding with him right up until that moment), but what beef does Austin have with Roman Reigns? Have they ever interacted?

    Just have the usual lads come even the odds with the daft interference and have them brawl to the back to leave Reigns and Cody in the ring for Cody to finish the story.

    I mean that all makes perfect sense and you’re right but still…give me that glass smashing and the you can’t see me man for the absolute buzz.

    Either that or in a perverse way I actually wouldn’t mind Cody not going over. The reaction would, quite rightly, be tear stained. Part of me would enjoy seeing that fallout. 

  13. There was ALOT there, found it all very interesting and watchable. Just to pick up on one little part, I thought he spoke about the Vince stuff very well. Himself, Rollins and whoever else has shown similar courage should be applauded for that. Particularly liked that he put the emphasise on the victim(s) unlike the tone deaf attempts by Cena and HHH who acted as if they were completely oblivious to their existence.

    I know it's not the done thing to talk up a Scot Gemmill side but we look really good here. Very impressed with Bowie. And to think Doak is injured!

    Must say I’ve been impressed with Bowie every time I’ve seen him. Tall and powerful but seems to have decent technique to go with it.

    I looked. 😁 To be fair I thought it might have been him, but there were a few others I thought it might have been as well. Scott McKenna didn't appear in any of the pictures and he would also be a contender to do that.

    Mckenna didn't train. Being assessed for an issue from the weekends game but nothing confirmed either way.

    Thought it was somewhere in between...he showed flashes but as brilliant as he might turn out to be, having a 17-year-old alone behind two more attacking midfielders is bold. I would have Miller along with either Davor or Halliday and Spittal ahead of them with Nicholson coming off the bench for now.

    Kettlewell is a bit bipolar as a manager atm. Came away from Ibrox with great credit for the shape, team selection and performance levels. Conversely, for me, he has to take the blame for that today. Wrong team from the start and then reverted to the throwing shite at the wall approach to try and chase the game. I’m still unsure what to make of him.

    It brushes of Bairs upper arm, which took 5 minutes for the var people to figure out, and as such it is a blatant handball and he really should have been booked.

    Shinnie moved his arm towards the ball and hit it with his arm, slightly, but a bit more than Bair. Because he hit it harder it took var 30 seconds to decide it was not a handball, mainly because I think that means we have to pay the var guy overtime.

    f**k knows really.

    As far as the game goes, as poor as we were, we still had the chances to give VAR at least two more goals to chop off.  I thought Miller had a poor game, probably because we told him he was the midfield and hung him out to dry.

    Was good to see us trust Ferrie and Wells and give them decent minutes. Hope we get to see them more.

    Not bringing Moses on against Aberdeen showed a distinct lack of Cinch.

    Funny how people see things differently. I thought Miller was our best player. Class above everyone else. His first time ball that Bair made a mess of was particularly sublime.

    I think that was started by somebody on twitter and everybody ran with it. Rodgers said yesterday he hopes he back after the international break. 

    That would be good. I saw it mentioned that it was in the Daily Record but hadn’t bothered to check.

    If it was late April or into May possibly but more than 3 months befoee the Euros.  Might give him the rest that he probably needs

    There seems to be a report that he’s out for the rest of the season. Time will tell.

    It’s our strongest area of the park depth wise but it would still be a real loss without his quality and leadership.
