I quite like that Even referencing the fact they won't talk about TNA is a step up from never mentioning them ever, in any way, under any circumstances.

I understand WWE's business reasons for their total TNA blackout, and it was definitely the correct decision in that sense. However, I maintain that the last decade would have been a *lot* more fun for wrestling fans if WWE had openly ripped on TNA, rather than doing it covertly through dirtsheets and astroturfing as they did.

So Reigns, Lesnar, Taker and Shane o Mac are all at Raw by the looks of it tonight.

It should be a very good show with all them there but no doubt even with all the big stars there they will still somehow mess it hope.

Really hope they keep Ambrose and Reigns away from each other now until after WM. Let them build their own stories and stop using Ambrose as a way for Reigns getting cheap pops.

How about he focus on the blossoming grassroots here like Progress, PCW and RevPro first?

I've said before he should put a bid in. They might take it a bit more seriously if there was an actual bid

With the Network now it's more possible than ever. They'd get 80+ thousand in Wembley as well. They wouldn't be losing out on all that much.

Would be awesome but as always the time difference would be the major stumbling block. Even starting at 8pm here it would be what 1pm pacific time?

I think the best we will get is some more network specials but hopefully better than say a Roadblock!

I do think we will get a B PPV here sooner or later if that goes well enough maybe a Royal Rumble or Survivor Series.

Another Summerslam is possable but I really can't see a WM here.

Though it's doesn't help, I don't think it's a complete reflection of the state of the product as WWE Raw has been inconsistent at best, sh*t at worst for the best part of 15 years.

3 hour, modern format Raw is simply much more of a chore to sit through than it was when it was prior to 2012. Literally 80 minutes of that features commercials, recaps of the previous and current episode, WWE ads and hyping of the next segment. The actual main event will feature something like Ambrose vs. Wyatt part VIII, Roman Reigns vs. Sheamus part VI, or the eternal six man tag. The rest of the card features glorified squash matches and the part timer appearing but doing little of interest other than doing their routine for the live audience.

I was thinking Money In The Bank but given UK Banks maybe not.

Knowing WWE we would probably end up with a daft and cheesy name for a PPV something like Mind the Gap.

Don't get me wrong, i still think it's a massive longshot. Probably as big a one as it was pre-network but it must be something they've looked at now they arent charging $50/60 for it.

My main point is they would probably consider it a bit more if London submitted a formal bid rather than just UK fans requesting it all the time. I'm very much in the 'amazingly low chance' camp

Very happy to have the news of Jacqueline being inducted into the HOF. I loved her and Ivory when i was younger. And nice its happening in her hometown. Speaking of Ivory, she has to be a contender for next year surely?

Im surprised that Ivory hasnt been inducted into the HOF yet could have sworn she had already been inducted. I agree congrats to Jacqueline on her induction.

I'm trying to think back to when she was an active competitor but I can't really remember anything of note. All I can remember was her being in the Smackdown sticker album. Must have been 99-2000.

I loved her in Right To Censor, i think she had great matches with Jacqueline and to a lesser extent and also worked well as a trainer too. I would hope, as one of few divas who could actually wrestle back then, she makes it in personally. It would be odd to have Jackie there and not Ivory.
