If they’re gonna do Drew/Fury, now’s surely the time.

59K have pre-registered for tickets within the first 24 hours of the PPV being announced according to talksport.

Wouldn’t surprise me if they brought Survivor series over in the future.

Yeah it's gonna be a struggle to get a ticket.

2nd part of the Regal interview with Jericho is up today.

I could listen to him talk about wrestling forever tbh. Jericho handles it brilliantly too, just letting him go, and only occasionally interjecting, just to put him back on track.

[TheGoon]

I think the brand split’s done?

From Cody's interview with Ryan Satin:

"I’m the best wrestler in the world. I can tell you that without it sounding braggadocious, and it’s simply because this all I do. I train to do it, I live and breathe it"

Cody isn't even the best wrestler in his current feud

Anyone going to Newcastle WWE event tomorrow? Still tickets left, the missus has got into WWE in the last year and was thinking about making the last minute decision to drive down

Booked it… will be my first WWE show as well, will be good to see Drew live. Loads of tickets left, thought these kind of events would sell out nae bother. Should be fun regardless, will drive down in the afternoon

The WWE Evil series is worth seeking out online. A lot of the same stories, but quite an interesting angle on a few of the docs.

[TheGoon]

Feel I should be immune to these releases now, but Bivens & Kai especially, insane.

[cb_diamond]

I saw the list yesterday and honestly didn't care a single jot about any of them. My only surprise was how quickly Parker Bordeaux went from "next Brock Lesnar" to "unemployed potato shaped man".

Looks like Sunny may not be seeing any more Sunny days, or indeed Sunlight at all if the toxicology results come back as expected.

Deary me. What a perfect summary for her entire life over the last 25 years.

Toxicology back. 3 and a half times the limit (which is apparently nearly enough to be fatal in itself) and she's been charged with, among other things, vehicular manslaughter which carries up to 20 years.

See ya Tammy.

[TheGoon]

This should be a cracking read

He's an absolute crackpot for even thinking about it let alone going ahead.

[Mark Connolly]

Guarantee he'll have a blade job as well.

[FairWeatherFan]

This reminds me of when AJPW kept bringing back Dory Funk Jr for spots in multi-man tag matches. He was even older than Flair and I don't think had the health problems.

If I had to book Flair's last match at this point. I would probably try and combine it as a Last Ride of the Horsemen (not that his ego would allow it). Get as many of the Horsemen willing to participate against mystery opponents. Have Jerry Lawler come out with a new batch of masked knights that would bump all over for the legends. The end.

I've watched The Wrestler, doesn't end well 

[TheGoon]

Apparently he’s wrestling Steamboat. In 2008 I’d have said “Hmm, I dunno lads”

Or does it…? That’s the beauty of the open ending.
