Is there somewhere I can watch more Pete Dunne matches? Never really heard of him till that NXT Takeover show but gently caress he was good.

The WWE did a two day tournament with all the UK boys you should check out on the network

Otherwise get a subscription to PROGRESS on demand where he's the champ. Their shows are pretty hype

You have been known to exaggerate your insider knowledge.

When, where, what? Known by who? My track record is very strong. I've broken hundreads of stories on this forum in the NXT threads alone. Especially hiring news. I broke WWE rehiring the Hardys for crying out loud.

Norwegian Rudo posted:

There are reasons you are banned from DVDVR, Observer board etc..

The Observer board was a trolling board. I got banned from DVDVR for defending Meltzer.

Anyway what is so unbelievable about WWE hiring well into the double figures for the Women Tournament? They are well on their way anyway to that everyone they've hired from Kimber Lee and Heidi Lovelace on were at least slated for it.

When the Tournament was set for January Kimber Lee and Heidi Lovelace were in. Heidi is Ruby Riot now however. But Kimber will be in Tournament in July.

The Cruiserweight Classic resulted in the hiring of the same amount of people.

Dave Prazak publicly stated he expects to lose like 12-18 SHIMMER roster members. Why do you think RISE is a thing?

Please use some common sense before you attack me or say I need to be taken with a pinch of salt.

Everything here's ever done. Just type his name into Youtube really. However as Oatgan said he's best know for his PROGRESS work. Additionally ATTACK! a comedy promotion. A few nights ago he dressed up as Tyler and Tyler dressed up as him. They then did a reversed roles version of their Takeover match.

You should take Rovert posts, along with Meltz and any other dirtsheet, with a grain of salt. Sometimes they're flat out wrong, sometimes plans change, sometimes they're right. It's all very whatever.

Anyway, Dunne rules and is my favorite wrestler. Make him beat Roman Reigns ASAP.

I haven't.

Speaking of this unfathomable concept that they will sign more than a dozen names even though they more or less have already. Hojo's goodbye today:

There's a lot of women wrestlers undergoing the WWE medical in July too.

Been lead to believe the Mae Young Classic's "Brian Kendrick" will be revealed this week. Sincerely don't know who the ex-WWE person is. The likes of Victoria, Winter, Melina etc all still wrestle though.

Hey Rovert, has Hojo recently had her medical (or had it already)?

Reason I ask is because she's brought up in numerous interviews that she's had several concussions in the past (it was one of her factors in considering retirement at one point), and I know WWE is adverse (at times) to hiring people with a history of them.

If she is signed she would have already yeah.

I don't put too much stock in the WWE medical. The Hardy Boys passed for full time competition. As well as indie wrestlers who privately have reputations for a large amount of concussions.

Medical tests aren't looking for (and can't detect anyway) encephalopathy and symptoms of that can take years to develop.

If you were going to not sign indie workers with a past concussion history you would likely have nobody to sign.

Or you can't admit being wrong. Where's the immaturity? I would have PM'd you here but you don't have your inbox enabled. Although I do have several friends set for the MYC and expected to be signed. 12-18 people being signed isn't insider knowledge Prazak and others have quoted it or an obvious expectation given how the Cruiserweight Classic went. You on the other hand didn't back up your claims about me when asked.

In the future Norwegian Rudo instead of sniping either don't passive aggressively share what I say if you don't trust it or ask me further here or via PM/DM. I can't be fairer than that.


Sorry Jerusalem handling it here was the only option. It is a new week so moving on.

I dunno. I am too much of a scaredy cat to ask Irish wrestling folk who I am friendly with stuff like that to be honest. On a side note I really have my fingers and toes crossed for Kate Harvey to be in the MYC.

Devlin had one of the best matches I've ever seen live against Moose last night in Dublin. Wise US or casual fans saw that version of him and not the dude who had a poo poo weekend in the UK tournament.
