    Not a fan of the updated shirt to be honest. I've worn the other one a few times and have had genuine querys as to where I got it.

    With enough washes your shirt will look like the new shirt. :p

    For some unknown reason every Daniel Bryan shirt I've ever owned has gone funny in the wash! No matter what I do they always discolour on the front print!

    Couldn't be arsed at this stage, I've had them long enough now in any case. I bought them at Dublin house shows and can only assume they use lower quality materials for European Event Merch

    I got a unofficial Bryan beard shirt off of Amazon for £10. The quality is worth the dosh.

    New Balor shirt looks gack. The SPLX shirts were much better.

    Can I be honest and say that I have a soft spot for
    Rhino
    ? He was one of the first non-WWE guys I saw when I first tuned in to wrestling.

    By the sounds of it, he was using
    THE
    gimmick too. So happy now.

    He seemed to take a nasty bounce off the edge of the ring ramp just after that! Managed to disguise the pain of it by crocodile crawling around the ring, but I'd say he has a nasty bruise on his arse after that spot.

    That's been happening for years with him. Don't want to be callous or cold but "he can take it". It was his signature spot in New Japan. Watched him do it 100s of times. There were occasions where I saw him land REALLY badly and I would ask his friends if he was he ok. Nearly every time I was kind of made fun of for asking so I kind of stopped. He's very durable for the style he wrestles and just tough overall. There's a sense of fatalism about the conseqences of the dive in particular too.

    Watched Rival a second time last night and got a lot more out of the last three matches upon reviewing. Simply there's just a lot to Balor's presentation.

    I'm always amazed how uncommon it is for guys not to be seriously injured during high-flying spots. You can probably count it on one hand.

    I know even bump-wise the ring is fairly unforgiving but stuff "over rope" or into the baracade. Even if you're landing on someone There is no way you can ease it.

    One thing I'm delighted about is that Vince or anyone didn't steal the bodypaint idea and give it to Baron Corbin or the like.

    Like I said on Twitter last night Finn crawling around like Demon until he gets the feeling back into his legs after doing his dive outside is much better than what he used to do in New Japan etc: standing up like an old man, trying to walk it off for 30 seconds and then returning to his opponent.

    I wonder if they will go with the dark, mysterious balor character, the clean cut finn persona or Real Shooter New Japan persona on the main roster.

    Being the nice guy who does his talking in the ring, who goes with the paint during the quarterly specials is grand for NXT as it fits the audience profile.

    The dark persona might need to evolve into a costume for his entrance (the he removes) but keep some of the mannerisms/staying in a mysterious character during his matches. Going from the dark persona to good guy Finn backstage might look a bit odd.

    Clean cut Finn could get lost a bit on the main roster, I think he would need to be his Real Shooter arrogant bullet club persona to stand out.

    Obviously he is a stand out wrestler but that doesn't go far in its own right on the main roster.

    What do others think, expect from him?

    Honestly, I do fear for Devitt when he gets called up, cause Vince will see him as a younger, fitter Boogieman :(
