    Bobby Roode to work as producer for SummerSlam

    It's a shame that we never got to see Roode get a good run on WWE's main roster, but at elast we can look back fondly on his incredible NXT run and he had an excellent run in TNA before that too. Turning him babyface on his main roster debut was the killer blow really, but Vince saw the song and...

    Tama Tonga reportedly heading to WWE

    Admittedly I'm not super well versed on Tama Tonga as a talent. I know he's a great wrestler and am told that he's a good talker too by all accounts. Putting him into the Bloodline storyline is an obvious option (and a good one given that they view him as part of the family IRL despite him not...

    Are We Finishing the Story? The Cody/Rock/Roman Megathread

    I'm not a fan of the tag match on night 1. I think they should had Cody vs Rock on night 1 with it being a #1 contenders match of sorts, Cody wins and then they do Cody vs Roman night 2. I'm not sure why they've insisted on Seth beign involved to the degree he has been, it kind of takes away...

    Paul Heyman to be inducted to 2024 Hall of Fame

    He's been worthy of an induciton for a while, and by all accounts has turned it down a few times too. This is the best place to do it though - in Philly. There's not enough that can be said about how deserving he is of this. One of the best managers of all time, one of the best promoters and...

    Dragon Lee potentially called up to the main roster

    They've tried several options over the years as a 'heir to Rey Mysterio' but they've always come back to the Rey himself. Time's running out to find someone. Dragon Lee has a great shot at being the guy to be the next big masked superstar. I do worry that they've fast-tracked him prematurely...

    CM Punk reportedly wants WWE return

    I don't know what happened to Punk mentally during his AEW run, but he clearly went off the rails and lost his head while he was there. There's no way he would get away with pulling that shit in WWE even for one second but if he wants to continue to wrestle then WWE is literally the only option...

    PWInsider on current WWE Creative

    Given what's happened on tv as of late then it makes perfect sense that HHH is now basically in full control of creative. All 'his people' are on tv and are doing well, there's continuity of storylines from week to week, the quality is just more consistent and better. While that's all the case...

    Ahsoka Show Disney+

    Yes, another excellent episode that has me hooked for the season finale. Thrawn using delay tactics on the rebels in order to give himself more time to complete the cargo transfer and stay ahead of the game is just classic Thrawn using his intelect to gain the advantage. Ezra refusing his...

    Ahsoka Show Disney+

    Yeah, this show so far has been an absolute blast. I just got done watching episode 6 and every single episode so far has had something interesting and compelling for us to grasp hold of. The portrayals of all the characters transitioning from animation form to live-action have been absolutely...

    Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup 2022/23 etc... Discussion Thread

    Poor display from United again last night. Expected us to lose to Byern but we need to shore up the defense if we're to make any sort of progress this season. I'm glad that Hojlund scored his first goal, now that he's broken that duck he can hopefully kick on, it was a well taken goal too...

    Sheamus contract up in 2024

    I think it's fairly likely Sheamus stays put, IF WWE wants him to. He's a workhorse wrestler, he's someone you can put in a mid-card title feud title feud and he wouldn't be out of place, you could put him in the main event and he wouldn't be out of place or you could put him in a tag team and...

    Randy Orton seen at WWE Performance Center

    It's great that he's at least in a position to be able to work out fairly regular again by all accounts. I'm sure it's just a amtter of time until he is cleared, but that's not to say that it needs to be rushed. He's still not that old by today's wrestlers standards so he still has several years...

    The Rock says him vs Roman was once locked in but fell through

    From the interview, he alludes to a reason that the match didn't happen and says that it had somethign to do with them not being able to come an agreement on how to do it. Is he suggesting there that he wanted to beat Roman for the title? I could be way off, but that's kind of how that came...

    LA Knight & others working on new deals

    I'm just glad that WWE realise what they have with LA Knight and are puttig him out there in prominent positions on TV. I think they will eventually come to an agreement, he's definitely in a strong position right now to negotiate. As far as what a 'mega-push' would look like for him, I think...

    Ilya Dragunov talks potential NXT callup

    I don't think there's a particular space for him on the main roster right now, and that's fine as he's in a prime position in NXt sot here's no rush to move him up. They could call him up if they run out of opponents for GUNTHER to revisit their feud, but I wouldn't be pushign for that (at this...
