I don't really watch much WWE at all these days, just the odd main event etc, but if it's going more towards a TKO era UFC model these days it is not a positive step The obsession with the shitty little Apex cards and move away from live crowds has mean they can't really build a star anymore, the lowball contracts and pandering towards ageing Jones to the detriment of Aspinall etc, the product has been getting worse and worse for a long time now I saw that they're increasing the Apex capacity to 10k which I would assume means they're aiming for more of the generic studio model? Maybe that's the natural progression to all of this but the dry TKO fight night era UFC is 80% shit these days

They can't do No Limit Soldiers without Brad Armstrong but surely Tony Khan can pull together a Swoll cameo for the older crowd

Heyman's double slow motion low blow turn was comical. Not the best first night

Shithouse new day is a good little career move for them

I always watch Bloodsport mainly because of the Barnet connection but Regals kid beating Shinya Aoki was certainly an odd choice. The fella has tapped John Lineker and was fighting in One only last month while Dempsey is to my eyes nothing much at all. The card was full of things like that

Okay that hogan speech is even worse than i thought it'd be. Trumpomania

Haven't actually watched the bulk of the card yet but the fact that they got it looking so good in the Apex of all places really does draw further light on how bad UFC have been at presenting the product over the last two years I can't believe the difference. If i hadn't have known it was the same venue I'd never have guessed

Its just forward planning for the five hour epic survivor series

Interesting to watch it play out on twitter, though. Almost immediate terrible feedback

Terrible decision, this Feels a bit like mid-South running videos of Bundy/JYD etc losing after they jumped to WWF. Borderline fake Diesel territory

No chance I'm watching both nights. Outside of yesterday's main any recommendations other than Gunther/Sami? I will probably watch Bayley win the belt as well

Shayna Baszler at Bloodsport was a good laugh

I was watching early 90s WWF recently & I really do miss Heenan

I think he's more likely to buy a brothel

I am 100% behind Jaida Parker

Slightly intimidated by Jaida Parker but in a good way

Great performance from Cody at this press conference thing, got to say. Think i have judged him unfairly before

It's not too late to get Sami and Jey involved and bring it all back to last year

Big Bill is perfect in it's simplicity

Looks like Johnny Ace is flipping to witness to me

The idea of the Rock coming back and embracing the Corporate Champion heel role by accident is actually a lot more interesting than whatever he intended Not that it will persuade me to start watching Raw in full again, mind

I'd imagine they'll just bring someone over from UFC like Mark Ratner to run it day to day and you'll end up with a booking committee, a bit like the matchmaking one in UFC structure

200,000 dislikes is absolutely hilarious let's be honest They may have to make an angle out of this

I have a feeling this juiced to the gills incarnation of the Rock will tear a muscle early and the match becomes a car crash. Just posting that for posterity

I think realistically unless someone is going to slap them about then it's a pointless exercise I know it's a different context but if you look at e.g Austin getting into some shit with Stu Hart at Canadian Stampede, there can be uses for the nostalgia figure, but I'd be perfectly happy to never see either on TV again
