It was reported that it was pushed back because there would be too much competition in the month it was originally scheduled for release.
It sucks, but seems to happen with every film I'm interested in. So pushing a film back to prevent being lost in the competition is nothing new.
I'll say that I personally am very excited about this film. I seem to be the only one here.

One thing I have to say about this PPV is how horrible the crowd was. How much of a scumbag do you have to be to boo anti-bullying? The fact that the crowd booed Nia's antibullying speech was just shameful.
The promo wasn't great, but that's no excuse. I don't care if you're a fan of Nia or not, no one should be in support of bullying.
I saw the excuse of "they're not booing her or antibullying, they're booing WWE's hypocrisy". No. They booed a speech about antibullying. If being pro bullying wasn't their intent, they went the wrong way about it. In this case, two wrongs don't make a right.
Even if for some bizarre reason you're a person that doesn't appreciate positive messages, the least you could do is not boo an anti bullying message.
By booing Nia's anti bullying speech, they essentially sent across the message that they are pro bullying, which is awful.
Anyone who follows Nia's social media, you can see that Nia is all about spreading a positive message, and is unquestionably anti bullying. The fact that the crowd was happy to boo not only such a positive message, but also one that was genuine and heartfelt, is just atrocious.
The crowd should be ashamed of themselves. Anyone who booed that speech is a scumbag.

This is fantastic. I really cannot see how anyone can hate on this. Women supporting, empowering each other, and focusing on being role models is always great to see. Do we really have that many misogynists here?

AJ Lee is definitely the superstar I most miss, male or female, and the superstar I'd most want back in WWE. However with that said, I think it's pretty likely that at some point in the next few years, we'll see her return, although I can't see her coming back full-time, given her back injury.

Looking forward to Nia Jax finally coming out with unique sideplates tonight. It took them far too long, but at least she has them now.

I thought outrage by Saudi Arabia over the fact that WWE showed a video package that contained women, might have been enough for them to cancel WWE's return in November. The fact that they had apologise for showing women, proves that they'll never be willing to accept women's wrestling, if they can't even handle it being shown in a video package. So despite Triple H trying to assure us that "we can't change anything by not being there", I don't think going there is actually making any difference at all. They'll still be an embarrassingly backwards country with disgustingly low standards.

I think I'm just going to skip every Universal title match from now on. I'm sick of time and time again getting my hopes up, thinking that it's finally the night that WWE finally come to their senses and take their World title off of a part-timer and give it to a full-timer. It's a complete  ing joke that they can't figure out that a World champion should be representing their brand every single week, as opposed to a handful of times a year. I'm so sick of Lesnar. He's so dull to watch, and he clearly couldn't care less. |

Cultaholic is leaps and bounds ahead of WhatCulture. Every single presenter on Cultaholic, from Jack, to Ross, to Adam Pacitti, to Jen, are likeable and engaging. In short, they're all good presenters.
On the other hand, Whatculture only has one good presenter left, and that's Simon. Jules has improved massively to the point of being bearable, but the rest are impossible to watch. Andy is duller than watching paint dry, and Adam Clery comes across as an insufferable ****. WhatCulture also seems to have a reliance on juvenile "your mum" type jokes. I know they've toned it down, but I soon learned to not bother watching those presenters who relied on them. When Jules first started being featured, every single video he did was littered with "your mum" jokes.

When I first heard it this morning, I thought it sounded awful.
But I can't deny that it's been stuck in my head all day. And when you take into account that it was made purely in spite so that the fans can't sing along to it, that makes it perfect for heel Nakamura.

I mean, I do think it's disgusting that he earns so much for doing so very little, but I wouldn't complain at all if I were in that situation. With his contract, he must be really enjoying life.

So RAW looked like it was a pretty fun one: - Woken Matt and Bray continue to be a perfect team. I honestly hope this partnership lasts a long time. - I really want to hear a clear version of Drew McIntyre's new theme. Even though the added drums make it sound really clunky, it does sound like a really heel theme, and gets rid of all the time waiting for the main part of the theme to kick in. - The segments with Bo and Axel trying to persuade Finn and Seth to form new versions of their now defunct factions were hilarious! Maybe next they can try to talk to Bray and form the New Wyatt Family? I want to see more. - The Sami and Kevin Show was great. Sami's line about Kurt forgetting Jason Jordan was really hilarious, and just perfect. - Honestly, not a fan of Bobby Lashley's Delayed Suplex finisher. You can see him wobbling around halfway through each time he's used it, and that just makes it look a bit crap in my opinion. Not to mention how long it takes! Easily plenty of time for the opponent to fight out of it, or a partner to make the save. - Baron Corbin's segment with No Way Jose was good. Hoping Corbin is presented as a serious opponent on RAW, unlike on SmackDown Live where at times he was presented as a bit of a fool (honestly, how ineffective do you have to be to lose MITB?!). - If Nia Jax does indeed still not have her own side plates on her championship, that is a ing joke! She won the title over 2 weeks ago. There is no excuse for her not to have her own side plates. - Unfortunately they uploaded barely any of the 10 woman tag team match onto YouTube, but it sounds like a very interesting matchup, in theory. Nia jumping into the rest of the women was a great spot to wipe them all out, but looked really weak. Still, much better to be safe and weak than risk an injury. It was nice to see Rousey make the save for her friend, even if I don't care for Natalya as a performer. |

Back when everyone had a first and last name, which alot of them then lost. Silly I don't know, I personally think that a simple single name adds mystique, if the character needs it. Konnor and Viktor are great examples. Conor O'Brien and Rick Victor sound like regular guys. Konnor and Viktor sound menacing. |

This is just downright a pathetic thing to do in my opinion. If a product needs to reproduce someone's likeness, they should reproduce them in the most accurate way possible. A tattoo has been made part of someone's body. It should not be anyone else's right to claim. The fact that she can even attempt to sue is a joke in my view. I don't care if it is a copyrighted logo. It's still part of his body. The only one who should have a right to it is him.
Copyright is supposed to be there to safeguard someone stealing the work of someone else and claiming to own it. It should not be applicable in a situation such as this, where 2K are just reproducing a living person's likeness, and not trying to claim ownership of his tattoos.

I see everyone everywhere saying that SmackDown Live absolutely won by a mile, but I'm honestly far more excited about RAW's changed roster. RAW got McIntyre, Corbin, Zayn, Owens, Roode, Riott Squad. All big pluses to me. Sure, they also got a bunch of relatively boring midcarders in Jinder, Mojo, Gable, Natalya, but I'm incredibly excited to see what the likes of McIntyre and Roode do on RAW.
Whereas SmackDown Live's new acquisitions don't really fill me with the same excitement. Jeff Hardy is really the only one I'm really excited to see what he does on SmackDown Live (finally giving him back 'No More Words' would be a great start!). Sure, I feel a similar way for Joe, Sanity, and Absolution, but to a far lesser extent.

Personally, I think that for a big show like WrestleMania, video packages are a must. If edited properly, they can be really memorable, and really add to the big match feel. The video package for Daniel Bryan for WrestleMania 30 is a great example. That was an excellently edited video package that I still find memorable. Of course there will always be a few matches that aren't part of a big enough story to need one, but most matches at WrestleMania should. Honestly, I thought there weren't enough video packages on this year's Mania. I only remember there being a few.
I'm really glad they didn't bother with a mid-show concert like they usually do. Additionally as a non-American, I've always felt the patriotic singing at the start of every WrestleMania is a waste of time.

With the recent passing of Bruno Sammartino, I really hope they put him in WWE 2K19, or 2K20 if it's too late. Been hoping for a while that they'll put him in another game. It's shocking that 2K14 is the only modern game to include him. I would certainly use him.

Very sad news. Even if I find that era of wrestling difficult to watch, Bruno's matches were always far easier to watch than anyone else's. It's very clear even from the footage, let alone the adoration from his peers and bosses in interviews, that the crowds absolutely adored him. Quite honestly, I particularly really enjoyed the sections containing Bruno on the 50 Years of WWE Blu-Ray set from 2013.
