Yeah they would sell the 3 Arena out no problem at all with a show based around all the Irish talent.

and that's the end of Drew Gulak.

Corey Graves on Ronda's comments on Vince.

"Listen, I take everything with a grain of salt. Listen, if you're in this business for any duration, you get used to letting those sort of things roll off your back.

Honestly the company really needs a complete makeover behind the scences to clear out this kind of mindset and culture.

Any company that has staff with a let it roll off your back stance in 2024 really needs to look at it's HR department as it's not doing a good job.

I wonder what he will say about Drew Gulak shaking hands when her private area.

The RDS hosted an outdoor house show in 2005. Getting redeveloped soon so maybe in the future

Malahide Castle would need temporary stands put in so be a non runner

The 'Castle' will be represented by the Castle shaped screen above the ring. WWE don't want any questions about that 😆. Probably couldn't think of a name for Scotland. Suppose they could went with 'Glasgow Kiss Fest' or ' Mega Glasgow Brawl' or something more horrendous

I do think a ppv with top Raw and SD stars at Croke Park would sell, you'd have not only Irish fans but fans from UK and Europe travelling over

Nothing announced yet for Slane this year 😁

That NXT Europe is gone very quiet

Remember someone here suggestion it be based in Ireland due to brexit etc

Won tickets to it and didn't get to go because I was too young 😢

Ah sure I made up for it ever since, someday I'll get to Mania

Haven't seen any figures but I'd expect Becky's book may do better than Ronda's. Ronda isn't the star she once was and Becky has the full weight of WWE/TKO behind her publicity tour. On a related note I was somewhat surprised to hear that Becky thought Ronda was "lovely" when she talks about working with her. Obviously the social media stuff was always a work but I always thought Ronda would be stand offish in real life too.

Becky's book debuts at number 3 on the New York Times bestsellers list. Fair play to her that's good going. The book is well worth reading.

PM me and i can show you where i watched it.

just helping a fellow boarder out!

Exactly what I thought. It's very much her voice coming through (obviously literally so for the audiobook).

From the various messages there it reads more like they were looking for artistic-credit rather than financial compensation… which seems fair enough? Kinda think whenever someone's artistic work is used publicly - especially without payment - they should get a credit mention.

I agree about too many factions. I always thought the final testament in particular were too similar to JD.

Good shout on Lumis though, he'd fit in well with a Wyatt-esque group, but without Bray just doesn't feel the same.

Not sure where these Wyatt teases are going, but I hope they pay off...

Bliss back as a surprise contender for Rhea's vacated title?

MxM the former Mace and Mansoor just appeared at the Internet phenomenon Uganda soft ground wrestling.
