Yeeeaaah, I'm not going to view a drug dealer as a trustworthy source. Probably just saying any old name to cause scandals.
Either way, I don't think WWE will let anyone get away with using steroids after all the trouble in the 90s. Even if it is their top guy.

Woo! The Enduring Icons pack has FINALLY been released on Steam, around 9:15PM. It really shouldn't have taken almost an entire day.

Honestly, maybe I just wasn't in the right mood, but I found myself getting bored throughout RAW, until the main event. That main event was pretty good. The return of the Curb Stomp was great. The Ripcord Knee Strike has always looked terrible in my opinion, and the Curb Stomp is a unique move that I've never seen anyone use before.
I'm very happy that they didn't announce or hint at Paige's retirement at all. Given that Tom Phillips merely said that Paige will be unable to compete in the Royal Rumble match, I'm hoping that this is just an injury rather than forced retirement. Given that Paige tweeted today that "2018 WILL be my year", I'm optimistic that she will return.

6:25pm here in the UK, and the Enduring Icons DLC is still not available for PC.

I'm still hoping that Paige's "retirement" is a false story intentionally leaked by WWE to take Paige out of the Royal Rumble match and set-up a championship match against Alexa Bliss at the Royal Rumble. Paige comes out, announces her retirement. Women's roster comes out to show respect for Paige. Paige lures Alexa into a trap. Similar to Mark Henry's false retirement in 2013.

As someone who lives in the UK, seeing pictures of these wonderful sets that I'll never see in person makes me so jealous.

Although I don't believe this until WWE confirms it, it will be terrible news if it turns out to be true. Besides, kind of odd that Paige uploaded a photo to Instagram today with the caption "The comeback is always stronger than the setback". If there is to be no comeback as this story claims, then why would she post that? It's wrestling, injuries happen. There is always the potential for any given match to be a wrestler's last. Do you hold a grudge against Samoa Joe for Tyson Kidd's career being ended? I'll answer your question in as civil way as possible and how invite you to rebut in a similar manner so this thread isn't locked. There is a right way and a wrong way to do a move. From all accounts the Samoa Joe incident was a complete freak accident. Kid took the move correctly Joe executed the move correctly. Wrestling is a dangerous form of entertainment. There is always a risk involved. some moves are riskier than others. Look at Seth Rollins and the buckle bomb. They outlawed that move because it is a inherently risky move that has little to no room for error on either person's part. The move that most likely caused Paige's injury was executed perfectly the day before in a match where Baley used the move. The video that surfaced showed Bailey putting her feet on Pages back and then pushing them forward to simulate a kick. When Sasha banks applied the move she just thrust kicked into the Pages back. I am not a professional wrestler, and I don't know how the move should be executed to be done the right way. But, if we look at both videos it is clear that the safer way to do the move was how Baley did it. Sasha did I thrust kick Bailey placed her legs on Pages back and pushed forward. I completely agree with all of your points. Well put. However, I cannot agree with certain fans demanding punishment for Sasha Banks. Whether it was fault on Sasha's part through either carelessness or being too stiff, or fault on Paige's part for not landing correctly, the fact remains that it was an accident. I find it very hard to believe that Sasha intentionally injured Paige. Anyone who was that unprofessional would not make it to WWE. The fact that she is still promoted for the Royal Rumble and the Mixed Match Challenge proves that management don't believe that it was intentional either. In addition to all that, anyone who has seen the footage can see Sasha's reaction, sitting in complete shock in the corner. I appreciate your civility though, I must say. But to sum up, as I said before, accidents happen in wrestling. I just don't think that pointing fingers solves anything. I think the only time in which justice should be demanded is in a time when intentional harm can be proved. |

Unfortunately looks very predictable to me, looks like most of my favourites against each other in the first round, which is bad, because only one can advance. Personally I was hoping for Balor/Banks, Strowman/Bliss, Zayn/Lynch, Crews/Nia, and Roode/Flair to make it at least to the second round. Unfortunately that's not going to happen.

YES!
Fantastic news for WWE fans in the UK. The Mixed Match Challenge will be put on the WWE Network in the UK, because Facebook Watch isn't available in the UK.

The point is that regardless of how much mainstream media coverage Ronda Rousey will bring, having her crap all over the entire women's division will not help it in the long run. If all the other women are made to look like crap over a substantial period of time, then what happens when Ronda goes? This isn't like the male division with a ton of different stars. The WWE women's division is small and concentrated. Having those few stars consistently jobbed out will be nothing but a detriment to them after Ronda is done.
"Life isn't fair" is a pretty poor retort. Why shouldn't WWE at least try to make it fair? Why should female superstars work so hard for years to change both the perception and treatment of women's wrestling, only to have it taken away from them by someone from a completely different industry who makes them all look like a complete joke? Of course life isn't fair, but that's no reason to not try to make it fair.
I couldn't stand Shayna Baszler's style in the Mae Young Classic, and her first round match was downright awful, so chances are that I won't be able to stand Ronda Rousey's style either.

People who protest "political correctness" as an excuse for why they should be allowed to be nasty to others.

Quite disappointed at the fact that the Hardy Boyz Epic Moments set won't be coming to the UK. My little brother was looking forward to getting it. Thankfully it's not the only Hardys figures coming this year.

Sami Zayn and Becky Lynch are a team! Such a great pairing, the Up Up-Beatniks are back together!
I am really loving the teams put together for MMC. Despite what some people think, I think WWE have done a great job putting these teams together. Sasha and Finn are a true dream team for me. Charlotte and Roode are a perfect pairing. Alexa and Braun is a really interesting pairing. Rusev and Lana makes sense, as does Jimmy and Naomi. Nia and Apollo is clearly a last minute replacement, so entirely understandable. Bayley and Elias are okay, could end up being interesting.
But you can't please everyone. If WWE put together the teams that everyone expected, they'd be criticised for their teams being too predictable.
I don't know why so many people are still confused as to why this isn't on the WWE Network. Facebook would have paid WWE a significant amount for exclusive rights, like how episodes of RAW and SmackDown Live aren't put on the WWE Network until 30 days after airing.

7 years ago in late 2010, I started doing a CAW league on SmackDown VS RAW 2011. For those that don't know, a CAW league is a virtual pro wrestling brand which takes place on a wrestling video game. Matches and segments are booked, recorded, and then edited together to produce an episodic show with ongoing storylines. I then stopped doing it in 2013. I briefly revived it in 2015, but stopped again after only 3 episodes. However I have decided to start doing it again. I recorded the next two episodes on 2K17, but I've since moved onto 2K18. While it's definitely frustrating to make (given how awful I am at timing reversals, and how limited 2K18 is without story designer), it's always great to watch the final result.

As much as I'd love for this to be the case, I don't believe it will happen. As much as I want them to, I can't see them taking the title off of Brock before WrestleMania.
