    Apparently someone said it was refuelling on the way to Abu Dhabi before people go mad with fantasy booking :D

    Would WWE really use the cooperate jet to fly over a talent for an NXT show.

    I highly doubt they would especially when they are freezing staff wages bonusses and promotions.

    That jet is being used to make cooperate money that's all.

    Very strange rumour and reporting on Sammy Guevara apparently shooting down an angle for Impact.
    Seems he was going to be part of the taping after an idea was agree too between Khan and Impact but Guevara offered ideas and didn't seem that pushed about the idea and it was dropped.

    Now depending on who or what you read, the most extreme version is that Guevara has heat and Impact are annoyed at AEW. The more believable source seems to say it was no big deal and this sort of thing was expected. Does seem a missed opportunity though.

    Eli Drake has signed with WWE (NXT)

    Thought he was a great promo in Impact when I watched it weekly a year or two back. Didn't think he was 38 though. Thought he was younger.

    Yes!! :eek: The guy was brilliant on Powerr as well. I was fearing he was becoming a forgotten man.

    Now we just need Sandow to come home.

    Poor old NWA lost another one of their stars. He was really good on that show

    I forgot about him in the NWA! Surely they're going to fold at this stage (unfortunately). They're losing everyone on their roster.

    Seems like he's going to be using the name LA Knight. He's going to be on the pre-show, fans have put it on twitter as it is pre-taped.

    EDIT - Just crashed the pre-show panel and his name change is confirmed.

    Can Billy Corgan just release Thunder Rosa at this stage and let her join AEW, seeing as though everyone else seems to be getting a release from the NWA these days.

    Oh please no.

    AEW would be an even greater waste of her talent.

    Bloodsport was pretty decent, looking forward to seeing Mox vs DBS. Cobb/Dickinson was a good main event and Tankman continues to look like a beast.

    The setting looked class in fairness, the whole no fans thing fairly suits the Bloodsport aesthetic. It was what Raw Underground was hoping to look like without Shane and the WWE cheese involved.

    I hope noone is surprised?
    Nearly all of the wrestlers you cheer are crazy republicans. The Bucks etc etc etc. Jericho and his wife are just the stupid ones doing it in public

    Don't think it's too bad.
    Since WWE wanted to have their own trademark his name would have to have the same syllables for him to do his E-LI-DRAKE bit.

    They could have went with Eli Knight or LA Drake tho?

    Taking bets now on when he gets to the main roster, and he loses one of the names.

    Will he be LA, or will he be Knight?

    I dont mind LA Knight..... its pretentious and ridiculous.... yes, but that suits the former Eli Drake though.

    They appear to be presenting him as a big deal, so that bodes well for him.

    Big fan of his persona.... could be pushed hard if he plays his cards right.

    The newer, younger wrestlers in parts would be democratic, Big E, Zayb, Bryan.......but majority, esp the older heads are all solid republicans. Id say they fear their business being hurt by a non republican in power, which is a fair view.

    Republicans in power is better for business.

    This is barely a wrestling thought but I hate this notion that being a Republican is the wrong side. People should be free to have their own politics.

    Oh of course. They should be free to vote for who they want as president.

    As with most political agreement, I feel both sides have great values and some horrible ones.

    I just personally disagree with their choice in Trump.

    It feels as if Republican is just a synonym for bad in plenty of arenas, especially over on Squared Circle on Reddit. It's ironically not very liberal.

    Back on topic, Eli Drake/LA Knight is a fire promo. Has a coolness to him you can't teach.
