Anyone else want to watch this UK tournament as if it's live?
 

I'm gonna.

I do have the day off but....... no. Not really. Sorry.

Sounds good but don't google spoilers because it was taped awhile back.

That's why I said "as if it's live".

Please no spoilers until it happens on air.

Johnny Fuckin' Saint!

Yay Mauro!

Fuck the British do ONE FALL too.

IF they do TWO (sweet) :mad:

I love Jack Gallagher

Is Gallagher working face here?

Zack Gibson, and the rest of Liverpool, can fuck off.

What's wrong with Liverpool?

Two scoundrels, I think or Gibson is just a bigger heel.

My ex lived in Liverpool. Fucking scally kids broke into her house and stole her Gamecube.

The area was so rough the Threshers down the street had to keep all the booze behind glass and have a service hatch.

Also, Liverpool is in the North and the whole of the North is terrible.

Looks like alot of people are watching right now. Just had a strange skip and lag.

Gallagher definitely working face here.

Gallagher is so damned creative.

This is a pretty solid match.

Nice marijuana reference from Mauro.

This presentation/camera work is refreshing after watching Raw all the time.

Don't know much about about either of these big lads. Interesting to see what they have.

I've never seen a match, but I think I like this Mastiff guy already, for some reason.

Fat as fuck, though.

I've heard of him before and seen him advertised for a few things but just not been to one he's appeared at. Good to see it mixed up a bit from some of the smaller guys.

He feels like a bit of a throwback to the old World of Sport style.

What's The Black Country?

The urban conurbation around and particuarly to the North of Birmingham. Consists of towns like Dudley, Wolverhampton and West Bromwich (home of the mighty West Bromwich Albion).

Some nice countryside round there too from what I know.

Didn't expect a bridging German to be honest.

Lag is almost unbearable.

Good match, not fussed on the ending though. Lariat just didn't look good enough to warrant a pin but guess that might be more to do with the size of Mastiff.

Well, that was...a match.

No lag over here.

Working fine for me in the UK.

Is Cathy barefoot?

Joe Coffey was impressive. Solid promo.

Progress will be in in Queens this summer, I may go tickets are 40 bucks.

Love Flash Morgan Webster.

Also good to see Wales represented in the tournament.

Some good Welsh talent in the rest of the UK division just not represented in the tournament. Wild Boar in dark match tomorrow night, Eddie Dennis appeared for pose down after show and Mark Andrews already involved. Plus Nixon probably being involved in Mae Young 2.

Is that my father?

I remember not being that impressed with Devlin last tourney.

Also, is Morgan Webster claiming to be the boss of all things Oasis?

Not into either guys look too small and weak looking, lets see if the overcome that and can make me believe.

Devlin looks like Finn Balor light and Zack Sabre. Jr. softer.

No. The mods were a more 80s thing. More The Jam than Oasis.

Webster is a great cruiserweight. Seen him do some crazy spots at a few shows.

Devlin is a shit Finn Balor.

There have been a lot of Spanish Flys going around these days.

Meh on that match. I blame Devlin.

Big fan of Travis Banks. For someone with such a serious persona in the ring I've seen him in a fair few fun matches.

First Indy show I went to was an 80s themed show where he took on Mark Andrews, who was dressed as Marty McFly.

At one point they wrestle to behind the entrance curtain. When they come back there is a trashcan over Mark Andrews head.

All of a sudden the Back to the Future music hits and MARK ANDREWS HAS TIME TRAVELLED BACK FROM THE FUTURE AND HITS TRAVIS WITH A KENDO STICK.

Was great fun.

Devlin beating Danny Burch last tournament was bullshit. Burch got fucked up.

Wonder if they'll move Burch to the UK division now Oney Lorgan is injured?

It's hard to get into this.

Sucks about Oney. That team was about to build some steam.

Same. I've been booking a show and chatting with this Tenderoni. Nothing's grabbing me yet.

Damn, that tarp is dangerous all loose like that.

One thing that has picked up in modern wrestling is guys doing warrior "cries" to make the match more dramatic and also adding one liners ala Kenny Omega and Ryback. It annoys me.

I am enjoying this. Some good matches so far.

Did miss most of that one though due to having to sort the Baby out.

Toni Storm's butt is great.

Only time I've seen either of these women wrestle is on the second night of this tournament.

Have to say I don't remember being that impressed. Didn't see Isla Dawn though.

That was fine.

Blazer is awful anyway.

Storm's finisher is pretty cool.

I can't stand the monologues some guys do mid match.

Who is Blazer?

And does Triple H have to show up on everything like this?

Shayna Baszler

Apparently Saint now lives in Rhyl.

Poor fucker. Rhyl is terrible.

Yeah, he does he does great on these speeches.

Not sure why Plymouth and Cambridge are some of the first places to have shows. Seems pretty random.

Vince probably thought they were shows in Massachusetts.

Shayna's great. Not sure how you figure.

As long as she doesn't talk, that is.

I hate the focus on the MMA style. Find her matches dull as a result.

Shayna is everything Ronda should be in WWE but can't because she smiles too much.

I dozed off. How was that match?

I have no idea. Network has been botching all day for me.

I actually missed that one as well due to more Baby stuff.

No-one told me that having a kid would intrude on my ability to watch wrestling.

It's bullshit.

Congrats though

Thanks.

One day I'm going to take him to wrestling shows. Whether he is interested or not.

It's only fair.

This match is reasonable.

Having now watched both nights though, I think night two is better.

I think I like Joe Coffey.

He had good movement for a big guy. Seems like the type the WWE like (ie big) so could one day make it to NXT proper.

Forgot about this match. Could be a cracker.

FACT: Pete Dunne is my favourite wrestler across any of the brands. One of the best in the world.

That airplane spin was awesome.

Yeah, holy shit Tyler Bate. Always impressive.

Fuck me that match was class.

Love Tyler Bate's theme. Good match.

I think I'm finally starting to come around on Trent Seven too.

Trent Severn is fine, but he isn't in the same league as Bate or Dunne. Few are though.

Here comes Mr "We need to shift some tickets because scheduling a show for the same day as England's first World Cup match is silly"

HBK Billy Gunned his hair!

Lol, not one bit

HBK: Sorry for fucking over Bulldog for the European Title after Davey promised his dying sister he'd win.

Nah suck it.

I am not familiar with this story?

Sounds made up.

Surprised they haven't made more out of Travis Banks being Progress Champion.

Thought he might even get to carry that title to the ring like Dunne did at last years UK Special.

Gotta hook the move in front of the camera Gibson.

Great finale. Glad both men were given time to show what they can do. Think that was a problem with some of the earlier matches.

I went to the second night so already seen but will probably re-watch. Will have the benefit of being able to see the screen this time and not having to pay bloody £6 a pint.

HBK didn't look bad at all with short hair.

That was one of those bitter Bret Hart stories. Besides Shawn didnt book it, that was Vinny Mac anyways.

Joe Coffey and Dave Mastiff remind me of a Dwarven race ala LOTR.

I can see that.

Finale is today at 3 again?
