Yes they have, lol

Any big matches they've done here are rematches.

When WALTER/ZSJ tours the world and happens like 5 times over the course of a couple of years it's not exactly a protected "first time matchup" for your company lol. It's a guaranteed lock of an exhibition match, especially with ZSJ who hasn't been a regular in a long time

I just don't see a scenario where it was obvious that they had some big match to run and didn't do it because they didn't want to do it in the US.

Whatever, if they run it they do, if not I'm sure it'll be alright regardless.

The NOLA shows were their "First Ever Chapters In The US" and it was the same thing. These aren't even chapters, it's a touring lineup where the most consequential thing will be the Tag Tournament

I mean okay?

I'm not sure what you are saying.

They've booked their US shows well so far for the most part. They've all been pretty good.

I'm not saying it's gonna be bad? I'm incredibly excited for it

I'm saying they aren't running important matchups here. Same reason they didn't run WALTER vs. Banks in NOLA. Major storyline beats reserved for big shows on home turf

SPPT isn't in the tag tournament (unless they've done some weird shit to get them in? I need to resub when the next show is up). SPPT vs. CCK would've been the easy matchup for Wembley but they'll probably wait until the belt is off Travis and CCK has the tag belts

Dave has noted that Nia Jax has real life HEAT in wwe. Came from a thread about Nia unfollowing Alexa on twitter and bizarrely liking some randoms tweet accusing Alexa of sleeping with WWE officials

sounds like that friendship's over.



I hear Okada's entrance was amazing with the rain. I know Asahi filmed this, so really hoping it ends up on NJPW World.
Dave dealing in slut shaming random rumours again? SHOCKED

DDT's Korakuen Hall show, What are you doing 2018, is at 11:30am JST tomorrow, so 4:30am CET / 10:30pm EDT (Saturday)/ 7:30pm PDT (Saturday).
It's also airing for free for anyone watching live.

The card looks really good and there might be shenanigans with the Anytime/Anywhere gauntlets.



Hot damn that's a good card

Makes sense, Toni and Jinny have to work the MYC and that's happening at the same time.

All the MYC talent has to be in Orlando from the 7th-10th of August

Curious what women's matches they'll even run. Wouldn't be surprised if WWE sent them some MYC/PC talent. Nixon, Dakota(again), KLR, etc

If Travis isn't on the second half of the tour I wouldn't be surprised if they ran WWE UK matches

No.

All he said is that from his sources Nia's twitter antics are not a work, which is a separate issue from the screenshot of Nia's IG likes which no one has confirmed is real.

The extent of Dave;s contribution to this stroy was to stay Nia has real heat and it's not a work.

Nah, I was gonna pick the book up once it's released, but Chris's last book was a good read and had a bunch of info that hadn't been printed in English before, so I'm expecting Eggshells to be the same.

Yeah was planning to buy the book. Could see it as a good read for me since my history there is pretty small

I'm a backer but haven't been one of the lucky ones to get their book already. The podcasts that have been made available to us are good and I recommend listening to them once they show up on the POST Wrestling site.

First one went up on Post so that's why I asked. I'll definitely check it out

So about Ember's gimmick. Could you explain it for us excel?
She's loyal like a dog but fierce so she's a wolf but she's clearly not quadrupedal so she's a werewolf, hence Moon and the eyes. She's a warrior who also embraces the cartoon nature of wrestling hence the anime pose and she's also a damn good person so that's why she smiles and fan interacts, because she's a good person who knows that when the bell rings and the fight is on she's still a good person just not a nice person, but before the fight begins she's got time to be nice. Modern day Haku.

I do wonder if Ember would have been better off keeping the MK gimmick without talking (or posing). But I guess that never would have worked for the main roster because vince wants everyone to cut promos

Why would you want the best promo in the women's division to stay silent.

Ember's mic skills are down to earth and personal, you could almost imagine it coming from your next door neighbour, she's that relateable.

First off, Nia should be fired immediately.

Second, I caught Rush vs La Park and god damn September is too far away.
