Don't pay it @SirBalon. That's more than he's donated to the forum.

Thomas Vermaelen is out for up to six weeks again.

If he's on trial I think he has grounds to be shitty about it. You imagine clubs would do their own tests if he's offered a contract anyway.

So last night was TNA's WrestleMania - Bound For Glory. All in all a good show, but the ending has got everybody talking. I cannot work out for me if it was a work or a shoot. John Morrison beats Austin Aries, Austin Aries gets up after four seconds and no sells. He then starts shouting at the head booker who is up in the rafters, and then walks out after flipping the crowd the bird. Austin Aries has developed somewhat of a reputation as difficult to work with. His WWE release has allegedly been based on him being difficult to work with, he's joined companies on the premise of winning titles (then left after), he was the only person not to get booked at All In that was available, Chris Jericho has left him off his PPV and Cody Rhodes gave him a dig for not signing autographs for free. One story you can ignore, but all that in less than 18 months? He cut a promo beforehand last night of TNA being a second thought for John Morrison behind his reality career (which felt like he was speaking from the truth) and then when he walked out last night his hench men were standing at ring side looking like they didn't know what to do. On the flip side if Austin Aries is playing on the fact he's developed the difficilt reputation to work with then he's a fantastic actor and this is brilliant.

I think this will be a norm for WWE now given the way Matt Riddle has adapted to wrestling in the last couple of years.

That sucks. I was hopeing Conor fight’s the winner of Poirier Vs Diaz. Then the winner goes on to fight the winner of Khabib Vs Ferguson. Poirier Vs Ferguson would be the best eventual combination there.

I watched the Australian PPV last night, you know the one where Triple H and Undertaker main evented because nobody in Australia has watched wrestling since the Atittude era. Firstly, the Buddy Murphy and Cedric Alexander match. Wow. I love matches like that. The moves those two were pulling off in sync with each other was absolutely incredible. I'm my opinion the best matches of their careers and shows this Cruiserweight division could work if scripted properly and had some more star power. Gargano, Ciampa, Ricochet etc are all under 205 pounds. They'd go a long way to improving the status of the divison. I thought pretty much all the outcomes were correct. Becky Lynch is establishing herself as a heel, New Day are early in to their title reign, Lashley and Rousey both need to keep winning, The Shield should be beating makeshift teams and i can live with quick Bryan finish if Miz still gets himself firmly in to the title picture. One thing thats beginning to annoy me is AJ Styles is having these feuds right now that should be absolutely class but they're not because he's clearly been told to tone it down by about 80%. His match with Joe and Daniels ten years ago was at least five times better than anything he's done since Wrestle Mania. It's really frustrating given all the rubbish he put up with in TNA that he's finally at the top of mountain and he's still not being allowed to fully showcase himself.

I can't help feel they're playing down Asuka and Nakamura at the minute to make their own talent seem more superior to that in Japan given NJPW is beginning to make waves in the USA. They both went from winning Royal Rumbles to being lost in three months.

DX versus Brothers of Destruction. Oh my god. That's massive. Is what I would have said in 1998. It's 2018 for fucks sake. Just let the past go.

Dale Jennings now plays for Runcorn Town
-
How else is he going to milk this incident?

7 in 7 for PSV. I wonder who can stop them.
-
Well it's one way to get on the mixed match challenge.

He's come a long way since his ginger days in TNA. I'd be cautious going to WWE if I was anybody at the moment as NXT is stacked. EC3 has got a bit lost in the shuffle up against Ricochet, Undisputed Era etc and it's only getting more competitive with Keith Lee and Matt Riddle. We all know why The Bellas are untouchable.
-
Only the major pay per views if I'm honest. I imagine that will change closer to the MSG event.
-
Not sure if this PSV team is class or the rest of the league is dismal.

I agree. The only way I could take the Roman victory over 'Taker is if it was his actual last performance. Seeing him come back now hurts. The obsession with making guys in their prime 20 years ago look immortal has been my pet hate for the last 7/8 years. There's so many talented guys that are not being given the opportunity to express themselves because of it. Thankfully AJ isn't one of them because of the brand split. If you haven't seen HIAC Danny I would just read spoilers and not bother. If All In was a high eight i'd just about justify this being a five.

PSV hit SEVEN! I'm looking forward to seeing how De Jong, Lozano and Bergwijn do against Barcelona on Tuesday. Five in five and they seem to have gelled in to a great team.
