Also looks like New Day vs Shield at SS

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

When New Day showed up it made me believe AJ was gonna win tbh, if Roman wasn't gonna be in the 5v 5 I was pretty certain they'd try and improve the Brock match.

Pro Wrestling Sheet has learned Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn went against a creative directive given to them before SmackDown last night and we’re told it contributed to them being sent home.


Multiple sources tell us Sami and Kevin were supposed to “feed” for New Day following Zayn vs. Kofi Kingston yesterday, but for some reason they didn’t follow directions and left the ring.

The PWTorch glossary of insider wrestling terms defines “feeding” as: “The heel’s role during a babyface comeback where he runs at the babyface only to be repeatedly fended off, with the hope that the series of bumps by the heel will generate positive fan heat for the babyface.”

Owens hit the ring as soon as the match ended and attacked Kofi as planned. However, he and Sami quickly bailed from the ring. New Day then stood waiting, same for the sound crew who didn’t play anyone’s music, and the segment ended awkwardly when the two wrestlers seemingly went off script by not taking their planned beating afterward.

Since publishing the story on Owens/Zayn being sent home, multiple sources reached out saying the duo have been slightly difficult to work with lately and seem unhappy backstage.

Undertaker brewed coffee and had snacks for the entire crew. One of the nicest people i've EVER interviewed #NatureBoy

Anyone gonna watch Natureboy? Never been a big fan of Flair but it looks great tbh

Is this the ESPN 30 for 30? Heard it was really good.

On that topic, anyone recommend some good home videos? I haven't watched any in 5 years. The last set I watched was Bret Hart, Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, 4 Horseman

Flair documentary on ESPN 30 for 30

http://dx-tv.com/watch-espn-30-30-nature-boy-ric-flair-2017.html

Apparently it's insanely good. Some of you will like it.

It mentions he has been with about 10,000 women I highly doubt it but it must be at least 1000 over the 50 years.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Honestly considering the stories i know about Flair i wouldn't be surprised tbh.

He lived the gimmick lmao, i loved Flair though even if i can understand why people who only saw his WWE run don't.

Will watch though so cheers for that RG, i think there's a lot of old wrestlers who could have really interesting 30 for 30s tbh.

Although most of them probably won't actually attract an audience like Flair.

Jack Thwagger signed with Bellator (TNA of MMA) lol. Had no idea he was 35 either.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Can't wait for Swagger to go over Punk in MMA tbh.

[Firenze]

Swagger said on MMA Hour that he believes he was the toughest guy in the WWE locker room, but was told to lose in 2 minutes to guys who couldn't "hold his jock."

Claims WWE also turned down his pitch to have a shoot fight with an MMA fighter on TV or PPV to prove his toughness.

he may actually have some success tbh, I'm sure Bellator will have him against some bum fighters for a while.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Imagine losing a real fight to someone that looks like this....



WATTBA

badaboom, toughest guy in the room

While the expectation in recent weeks has been that former WWE Cruiserweight champion Neville was on his way out of World Wrestling Entertainment, sources within the company have told PWInsider.com that there have been recent positive discussions between Neville and the company.

There is a belief among some in the company that talks have gone so well that Neville could actually be returning to action for WWE before the end of the month. One source even believed Neville could be back as soon as this week, but PWInsider.com has (as of this writing) not been able to confirm that. Obviously, we will see if that is soon the case.

Neville quietly disappeared from 205 Live storylines last month amongst stories that he had walked out of Raw after balking to losing a match to Enzo Amore. PWInsider.com quickly debunked the walkout story as Neville was never even on the road that week. We later reported in the Elite section that the idea that Neville had refused to put over Amore again was shot down, specifically because the two had become close friends and regularly socialized away from WWE events.

WWE sources immediately denied that Neville had been released from the company, he was later removed from the 205 Live opening. At that time, however, two different sources told PWInsider.com that Neville had pushed for a WWE release with the idea of leaving the company and building his name outside of it, similar to what Drew McIntyre did prior to his return to NXT.

As we reported at the time, until Neville was actually released, there was always a chance that the two sides could come to terms, paving the way for his return to the company. If what we are hearing is correct, that road has been paved.

Neville has been with the company since signing a WWE developmental deal in July 2012.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Is it too much to ask for him to be taken out of that god awful Cruiserweight division.

He's up there with almost anyone in the ring and his gimmick is miles better than some pushed guys. It's a disgusting waste of his talents, same goes for Austin Aries.
