You don't have to be a genius to see it when you post multiple "guesses" right after another several weeks in a row that myseriously match up point by point with the spoilers.

How come you don't post your amazing insights about the live shows?

I only selected that one as an example since it happened on this weeks show. He posted others that happen on future shows.

They should've had Bronson Matthews debut instead of Dan Matha, just to nail home the point that Tough Enough was a complete wash and that Patrick and Mandy were the people they really wanted to win instead.

This is a big time disappointment. Nicole would have been my pick for the WWE Women's Tournament with little reservation. A great, youngful wrestler with "IT" factor who would be match up with Asuka extremely well. She tore her ACL.

The next NXT taping is this Thursday. I personally expect some of the tryoutees from last week to show their heads. Medicals for them are a point of priority bar one or two.

Last week is when they start to talk about it and start pairing up teams, and this week is the first round. Go with those.

Io Shirai is legitimately great but I think Hojo could be the most popular women's wrestler of all time based on her elbow drop alone

Pity Mio retired, we could've had a version of Triple Tails beat down an unsuspecting Funaki.

Looking through his posts, the only guess he makes other than the completely obvious Almas heel turn is that Sanity beat Roode and Dillinger which is also a pretty obvious result but thanks for putting it beyond a shadow of a doubt, pal. :)

I got tickets for the Theater at MSG house show but then my buddy decided he didn't want to pay $100 for a seat, so we're thinking of just getting tickets 4 hours beforehand on stubhub or something.

I really wanted ringside seats but they're quite expensive.

what the gently caress, how did I not hear about this show until now?

ringside seats are the same price as the lower seating; I would have totally gotten a ringside ticket if they were still available :(

ugh, I guess I just won't go to this, it's really pricey and I don't think it's worth it to see wrestling in a venue like that. it's too big to be a fun intimate show but too small to feel like a big event. definitely woulda gone if I could have gotten a ringside seat, or even the front of the 100 section, but the front of the 200/back of the 100 seats that are available for $130 just don't seem worth it at all...

Considering the cards all come pre-signed it's actually possible that they were in fact signed two weeks ago.

They gotta get used to their new names and how to sign them. It's not like they had much experience before.

I saw that at an indie show in Ireland a few years ago and it's really strange to see in person. Finn's last show with the company was the previous time, which I missed. What I saw was essentially a show for kids, but I was half drunk so the unsubtle attempts of the stills photographer to get chants and catchphrases going kept me entertained the whole night.
