Corgis love bread. And Puro


Watched the Heritage Cup match from 20/1 NXTUK between Dar & A-Kid. It's a good little match. Decent spots but Dar isn't really wrestling a style that works in the 3 minute round format. Meanwhile just wish A-Kid was in an actual wrestling company rather than this make believe one. Not quite HM level but still worth a watch if you can be bothered looking for it.

Following week has a really really good Ilja vs Devlin match which is probably likely to be the best WWE match I see this year unless they miraculously don't gently caress up GUNTHER

Imperium and Diamond Mine go to war in massive Six-Man Tag Team Match

The two biggest and baddest factions in NXT 2.0 are set to collide as Diamond Mine and Imperium square off in what is sure to be a punishing Six-Man Tag Team Match.

Gunther has made his way to NXT 2.0 to lead Imperium into a new era, drawing the ire of Malcolm Bivens and Roderick Strong to set up a colossal main event showdown between the two prizefighters. After Gunther chopped down Strong, he sicced Marcel Barthel & Fabian Aichner on the former NXT Cruiserweight Champion as the trio beat down Strong until Julius & Brutus Creed stormed the ring for an all-out brawl.

Diamond Mine have shown they aren’t afraid of the imposing Gunther and the NXT Tag Team Champions, but which trio will still be standing following their massive showdown?


quote:

Bron Breakker finds a surprising partner in Tommaso Ciampa to take on Legado del Fantasma
NXT Champion Bron Breakker has found backup in his war with La Familia in the form of rival Tommaso Ciampa.

In typical Legado del Fantasma fashion, Santos Escobar used the strength of La Familia to challenge Breakker, promising to use his numbers to overwhelm the lone wolf champion.

One way or another, “The Emperor” vowed that his partners would get to Breakker, whether that be 2-on-1 or a fair fight if the champion could find a friend. And when Escobar tried to make good on that promise by jumping Breakker in the parking lot with Joaquin Wilde and Raul Mendoza, The Blackheart stood by Breakker, and Legado del Fantasma sped away in their car.

Can the former NXT Championship rivals work together to push back against the strength of La Familia?


quote:

Cora Jade looks to show Raquel Gonzalez she’s ready in one-on-one fight
Cora Jade will get her opportunity to prove to Raquel Gonzalez that she has what it takes by squaring off with none other than Big Mami Cool herself.

Jade has pestered her former WarGames teammate and NXT Women’s Championship adversary about forming an alliance to make a run at the Women’s Dusty Cup, but Gonzalez has turned away the young Superstar at every turn, claiming she’s not ready.

In her haste to prove her worth, Jade may have bitten off more than she can chew when she attempted to slap the former NXT Women’s Champion. Now the two Superstars will square off.

Can Jade show Big Mami Cool she’s more than capable of handling herself, or will Gonzalez put her back in her place?


quote:

Joe Gacy wants to help LA Knight “move on” in singles match

Following his backstage confrontation with LA Knight, Joe Gacy will attempt to help Knight “move on” as the two Superstars battle inside the squared circle.

Knight is still trying to get a piece of Grayson Waller after Waller drew up a restraining order and hired Sanga as his new bodyguard, and Gacy has offered his services to Knight. Gacy claims to have helped Harland and is now trying to assist Knight in letting go of the past and moving toward a happier future.

Instead, Knight had a better suggestion about how to deal with his anger: stomping Gacy in the ring.

Whose anger management method will work best?

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.


A little while back. And this poo poo has been gone over many times, so I am sorry for re-treading it.

But this exemplifies so many of the ways that WWE is a bad place to work. Ignoring literally everything about booking and ring style and storylines.

1) A company knows it has an event coming up at which they need X amount of female employees. Need at least that specific number. So even if you are planning of sacking several of said female employees, surely it would be prudent to wait until after the event at which you need them? But WWE is so short sighted they couldn't even prepare for one of their "big 3" events of the year, and instead had to get firing happy.

2) A company summarily fires an employee. For no real reason. And given said employee wasn't an employee at all, rather an 'independent contractor' they are dropped in the cold with no safety net. But then the company realizes it needs that employee to do some grunt work. So the company calls up the person they summarily sacked not a few months ago, offers them , (probably), less money that they were getting to come back for a single night where they will be humiliated, and the company expects the person to enthusiastically accept, and are surprised when they don't. What sort of company has so much arrogance, and so little awareness as to to do this to a person? WWE does.

3) And to make it worse in this particular instance, they are doing it all to a woman who was sacked whilst she was on mental health leave. Adding to her stress and strain, and showing just how insensitive they are, how little they care for their workers, and how mush they expect the cult brainwashing to have taken effect.

All wrestling/performance issues aside. This is not the way any corporation should act to the people it employs.

The worst thing about this is that apparently she was being asked to be put on a list that Vince would be presented with. He would then choose who actually gets to appear in the match. She wasn’t even guaranteed to be a part of the match.
