Seems the Swerve promo is saved until Collision because they have a massive lead in with the Celtics game.

Logical, hopefully it pays off

WrestleMania in London lads?

I can't quite see it. Unless they did night 1 in the UK and night 2 somewhere else.

Or even tried the failed WM2 multiple venue thing.

Just think the weather and time difference would be a factor. But maybe with the PPV model dead they aren't as bothered?

I will massively respect Tony's commitment to the bit if he is seen in the Jacksonville war room wearing a neck brace in the draft tonight

If he doesn't do that he is a coward

Fair play. I remember Triple H not selling an arm injury Lesnar gave him and it annoyed me.

There is talk of Wrestlemania maybe moving to May, which will certainly help with the weather.

Good man Tony, although I don't know why he's smiling about it  ;D

Had a look at Clash at the Castle prices. Would be cheaper to fly to the US and also get tickets for a show.

He is clearly SO HAPPY to be able to wear a neck brace selling the injury.

Dare I say.....releasing the tape has worked out wonders, although maybe not how one expected. Jack Perry has come in with a lot of heat due to it, they have a good angle going, and it's even lead to AEW getting named in the NFL Draft.

They have seemingly stumbled into gold, I hope they run with it

Last time I went there I saw masturbating chimpanzees. Whether you think that's worthy of £22 is up to you. All I'll say is I now have an annual pass.

He is AEW's biggest problem even if he seems to be one of the less bad billionaires.

There was a both funny and terrifying botch on SD with Carmelo Hayes and Cody Rhodes doing a completely misstimed cutter spot, with Carmelo flopping before Cody has even left the rope. Both just crashed out.

It was clearly a bitch as Carmelo turned in as if to be cluttered, so it was a flying nothing

It is hilarious because it looks hilarious

It is scary because Cody landed on, and started clutching, his shoulder. If he is injured then fuck me

Carmelo...I don't see it myself. He isn't exceptional at anything and he is like 5 foot nothing, 120 lbs soaking wet. He feels about as "can't miss" as Austin Theory

Latest TNA PPV apparently had 500 buys

500

Even by TNA standards that's bad

Compare it to the company they supposedly challenging for 2nd who's latest PPV had a drop to 120,000 buys

It got stronger consolidating smaller for a while. Not it feels like they can go any minute now

Honestly MLW, TNA, and NWA should come together to form a super 3rd place company. Neither are healthy so it wouldn't hurt

Not too long ago, TNA was putting out the best stuff of all the wrestling companies in my view.

Hopefully it can find a way to keep going. The inadvisable collaboration with AEW came, went and suddenly they seemed to kick up a gear or three.
