[Other Sport] The Wrestling Thread

Was a class event tbf. Had a small issue, as we initially had floor seats but the seats were basically child sized with no gaps or space in between them. So we got new seats in the stand (lower tier row M) which were fantastic, all sorted prior to the main card starting.

FWIW the customer services desk was FULL of people asking to make the same move

Wonderful evening though, never any queues at the bars either compared to gigs or footy I've seen there (50,000 tickets in a 90,000 venue might be the reason!!). Won't spoil any match results but it's definitely worth watching/recording on Thurs.

They announced Forbidden Door for London (somewhere, TBC) next year, and All In 2026 will be at Wembley stadium after next year's will be in Texas. Will definitely go to both, tickets were much cheaper than equivalent WWE shows as well.

Great show, better than last years (even though I was at that one) Only downs were the result of the Casino Gauntlet match, and the TBS Championship match.

I didn’t it was nothing we didn’t know already, and as for the Owen incident the show must go on

Thought it was very underwhelming. Vince is a very weird guy, but most of us have known that for decades. There’s about half an hour in the final episode actually covering the (latest) scandals, the rest has all been covered elsewhere in much greater detail.

It was a nice refresher and summary but there were no really tough questions or insight into the man beyond what is already known. They didn’t ask him about how he and Linda have been essentially in an open relationship for decades, for instance. But then, with all the family taking part it was very sanitised.

Fans know it all already, but it’s too “wrestling” and niche to appeal to people with zero interest in the subject - not really sure what the point was.

Dark Side of the Ring is a much better show.

Dark side of the ring is probably the best wrestling documentary there is

Sorry for posting content from the Sun, but this is worth it.

Saturday Night's Main Event returns tonight (well, 1AM tomorrow in the UK), streamed live on YouTube.

Jesse Ventura on commentary, a retro feel to the whole event with various legends expected to appear, and a decent card:

- Cody Rhodes vs Kevin Owens (WWE Title)
- Gunther vs Finn Balor vs Damien Priest (World Heavyweight Title)
- Michin vs Chelsea Green (Women's US Title)
- Liv Morgan vs Iyo Sky (Women's World Title)
- Sami Zayn vs Drew McIntyre

HHH has also given Cody a "one night only" gift:



Seems likely to fit the retro theme with the return of the Winged Eagle WWF/E Title belt.
