Not sure how it works, but WWE has a free trial that will cover 30 days including Wrestlemania. Might jump into it.

Yeah it works like any other streaming service.

I don't use it outside of PPVs but watch stuff like the Austin podcast interviews, The Edge and Christian Show (It's a comedy skit show, first ep wasn't the best but it gets 10 times better as it goes on.), The UK Tournament Two Nighter (The plan is do more UK shows, ironically enough from Epic Studios in Norwich, where Paige's family operates out of for their show)

They have a pretty good schedule this week for WM,

Yesterday they showed a doc about Raw after Mania as a part of their WWE 24 series

Tonight after 205 Live (CW only show) and Talking Smack (Smackdown Post Show hosted by Renee and mainly Bryan (Shane or The Miz typically will sub in for Bryan) Corey Graves has a sit down interview with Kurt Angle

NXT this week on Wednesday has a loser goes home match with Kassius Ohno (Chris Hero) vs Elias Sampson "The Drifter" (Spoiler: Sampson loses and is working house shows in a mask right now as El Drifterilo or something)

Thursday will have a show called Bring it to the Table a pretty much a discussion show that's along the lines of First Take or Pardon the Interruption with Peter Rosenberg, Corey Graves, and Paul Heyman

Friday is the Hall of Fame Ceremony, red carpet being hosted by Maria Menunos and Byron Saxton, main ceremony by Jerry "The King" Lawler

Saturday is NXT Takeover, Preshow is hosted by Dasha Fuentes with Nigel MacGuinness and Sam Roberts.

Sunday is the big show, preshow starts at 3 PM ET in the US, the Battle Royal, Neville vs Aries, The SD Women's invitational are on it.

What’s the story?

Pro Wrestling Sheet is reporting that independent wrestler Rude Boy Riley has been arrested on suspicion of possessing child pornography. He was taken into custody earlier today after a search warrant was granted based on a report by the New York Post. Riley’s family told the New York Post that they had “no comment” on the controversial subject.

In case you didn’t know...

Rude Boy Riley is 28 years old and has been wrestling professionally since 2015 and has worked for promotions such as Full Impact Pro and Evolve. According to Pro Fight Database, he has a total of 10 professional matches in his career, including two against Impact Wrestling star Moose.

The heart of the matter...

Rude Boy Riley had a tryout with the WWE last month alongside former Impact Wrestling Knockout Lei’D Tapa. With the police having enough evidence to obtain a search warrant, his chances of signing up with the WWE have pretty much disappeared.

What’s next?

Riley’s arraignment is currently pending, so there are no further details in regards to a trial or a bond yet. He was scheduled to wrestle for Punk Pro Wrestling on Friday, but the promotion released a statement saying that he’s been pulled from all future events and had nothing more to say on the issue.

Author’s take

While I don’t know much about Rude Boy Riley, he definitely has a good look about him. The fact that he was in two matches with Moose last year means he does have some talent. It’s just unfortunate that talented folks do stupid things at times, and in the end, they have a heavy price for their actions.

Raw's match has 3 of the biggest women working for the company right now tho.

And more than likely the other women's match will be on the kickoff that's airing on USA (2nd hour is, like last year, the Divas vs Bad and Blonde and Usos vs Dudleys aired there)

LaLaLand
30-03-2017, 02:03 AM
I've always said I'd love for the Hardcore title to be brought back with the 24/7 defense rule. It was soooo entertaining!

I know it kind of turned into a joke with anyone winning it but they could it back and have basically the "filler" guys fight over it (depending on brand - Breezango, Axel, Dallas, Slater, Rhyno, Ellsworth, Mahal, Young, Hawkins, O'Neil etc) and create a little division of their own and even make it open for the Cruiserweight and UK divison.

Orton/Wyatt has had a long build
Jericho/Owens has had a long build
Taker/Reigns was obvious since the Rumble
Ditto Goldberg/Lesnar
Seth/Triple H since last Summer
Ambrose/Corbin since before Elimination Chamber

The only ones that were thrown together were the SD women's title bc I assumed they'd have just had Mickie turn face later down the line and the tag title match being a ladder, it was only going to be those three teams involved.

- There are rumors of Billie Kay and Peyton Royce vs. Aliyah and Liv Morgan being added to tonight's WWE NXT "Takeover: Orlando" event.

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross will return to WWE TV at WrestleMania 33 to call the match between Brock Lesnar and WWE Universal Champion Bill Goldberg, according to PWInsider.

Ross reportedly signed a new deal with the company that will see him used for material on the WWE Network and occasional appearances on WWE TV to call matches. No word yet on how often Ross will appear on TV.
The new deal was offered and signed before Ross' wife Jan passed away earlier this month, perhaps as long as 5 weeks ago.

Confirmed:

https://i2.wp.com/www.diva-dirt.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/rsz_wwe-women-tournament.jpg?w=620

In a press conference with SmackDown Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss, RAW Women’s Champion Bayley and NXT Women’s Champion Asuka, WWE COO Triple H announced the news that a women’s tournament will happen this summer. On his Twitter, the COO elaborated that 32 women from 17 countries will compete in this tourney.

You're in for a treat!

Almas vs. Black (who I can't wait to see! HUGE Tommy End fan) has potential to steal the show even though it sucks that Almas will be losing again.
Asuka vs Ember will no doubt be awesome despite lack of real build.
DIY and Revival always deliver ace matches, be good to see how AoP fit in with it.
Roode vs. Nakamura should be fantastic too.

Will possibly be Nakamura and Revival's last appearances in NXT too.

Bit of betting news

Mojo Rawley has come out of nowhere to joint 2nd favourite to win the ATGMB with his odds still shortening

I would love him to actually win

LaLaLand
01-04-2017, 09:36 PM
Well it looks like they're splitting up the Hype Bros as Zack wants a solo championship hunt when he returns so Mojo would need something to do.

Would rather Braun won though, guy deserves it after his great year.

It should be Braun but idrc the match is meaningless in the grand scheme of things.

01-04-2017, 09:44 PM
It is a pointless match, fun but pointless. They should have just done it the once when Cesaro won (and pushed him to the stars after it) but no...

After the match, Matt Hardy tells the Young Bucks that Nick and Matt are the best tag team that The Hardys have ever faced. He doesn't know how long the Hardy vessels will allow them to perform in these matches, but they leave the future of tag team wrestling in good hands. The Hardys kneel and shake the Young Bucks hands. Jeff says there's only one thing left to do, singing that they'll "fade away and classify ourselves as obsolete" before leaving the ring for the new champions to celebrate.

Strowman losing to a bunch of scrubs or old timers will undo all the work they did trying to make him this frightening monster. You can have Reigns beating him and not doing too much harm, but this would be pushing it.

Oh yeah the ladder match too! Of course.

I'm lowkey wanting Nia to win the Raw Women's PURELY for the purpose of fresh feuds moving forward and giving the other ladies of Raw the spotlight and not just "those 3" no matter how good they are.

Super excited now! What time does the kickoff start is it 10pm UK?
