Overall, I thought it was a pretty good show. Some good matches on there. Definitely worth ordering on Blu-Ray. Matt Hardy losing to Elias was a complete joke. I'm sorry, but Elias has no business beating a legend like Matt Hardy. Horrible booking. Plus, why was this even a match? Literally no storyline behind it at all. What was the point? Becky Lynch being immediately eliminated was a complete joke. It's just ludicrous how badly they've booked her for the past year with how talented she is. Baron Corbin beating the Miz really surprised me. I fully expected the Miz to win. I had the biggest smile on my face when Alexa Bliss finally lost. Sick of her at the moment, so the sooner WWE stop superpushing her to infinity, the better. They did it for Charlotte, so now I'm just waiting for them to cool it with Alexa. Then when they give it a rest for a few months, I can start to enjoy her performances again, just like I'm able to enjoy Charlotte's once again. AJ VS Brock started off so badly. I thought it was awful how AJ suddenly turned into a jobber for the first few minutes. It may as well have been James Ellsworth that Brock was tossing around. It should not have been entirely one-sided for so long. Thankfully they eventually turned it into something decent. I honestly don't see why people are making such a big deal of the main event ending. I thought it was good. The audience is totally behind Braun Strowman, so turning him face and having him rebel against the Authority seems like the smart thing to do. I'm just disappointed with how Bobby Roode didn't really get a chance to shine.  |

Got that last week so far just watched disc 1 It is a great set. It's just such a shame that the documentary portion is so brief, considering what it covers. Should have definitely been two hours rather than just one in my opinion. |

It says I have completed the main Story mode. So what happens after you complete it? Nothing much really. You can keep on playing, but you won't get any storylines. You can still go around and complete objectives, though in my experience they are quite buggy after completing the main story mode. |

I'm really excited for this. I cannot wait to add Drew McIntyre to my Universe mode!

Green is 100x a better colour than orange. Orange is a disgusting colour.

No matter what the product, I will always much prefer a physical product over a digital product.
I just like having nice things to look at. Whether it's cover art, a booklet, or whatever, I just like to see it. If it's a game, I want to look at the cover, look at the back, and read the manual. If it's a DVD/Blu-Ray, then I want to look at the cover and the back. Likewise for a book.
When it comes to HD video, a Blu-Ray will always be significantly superior quality to a streamed video.
I don't know if it's just me, but I cannot read an ebook for an extended period of time. I just lose interest fairly quickly, whereas I don't tend to do it that much with a physical book. I don't know why, but I just do.

It's always sad to see someone lose their job, but I certainly won't miss seeing him on TV. His involvement in the women's division seriously hindered it, thanks to Vince McMahon's misogynistic booking. Had a feeling he was going to be released though, given the send-off he was repeatedly given on the European live events. Nah Santina Marella hindered it. At least Ellsworth was entertaining and got Carmella over as a heel. ...how does Santina Marella have any relevance to the SmackDown Live Women's division in 2017?! Against my better judgement, I'll reply to you just this once. The point is, the first ever women's Money in the Bank match was set up quite well to be a truly historic moment. And instead Vince McMahon ruined it, simply because the thought of a man winning the first ever women's Money in the Bank match made him laugh. Not to actually do good for the women's division, in a time when they need to strive further towards equality. But just to make an old misogynist laugh. |

Even though it's far from perfect, 2K18's commentary is far better than previous years. There are some really great lines now and then. For example I was playing a Brie Bella match in Universe today, and Corey Graves said "you can bet Birdie will be watching her mom from home". I just thought that was such a nice touch. Graves and Saxton are just such a breath of fresh air after having to listen to JBL and Jerry Lawler's atrocious commentary year after year. It's a shame that some of Michael Cole's diva lines are still in, but eh.

Currently spending most of my time playing WWE 2K18 Universe mode. Having a ton of fun with it, much improved from last year.
Also renewed my World of Warcraft subscription since the announcements at BlizzCon, and so catching up on what I've missed from the past few months. It's always good coming back from a long break.

People like this are just mentally ill. To really be so into despising an entertainment product like this and then trying to force their views on children... there just is not a word for how ludicrously pathetic this behaviour is. Going to wrestling is all about having a good time and cheering for your favourites. Trying to actively discourage others from cheering for their favourites, and setting out "rules" for what to do in a multitude of given situations is something only an incredibly mentally unbalanced person would do.

I would be very happy to see Charlotte win the title. She's had a nice long break from the title picture that has really refreshed her in my eyes, and I want to see her as champion. Alexa VS Charlotte holds more appeal to me than Alexa VS Natalya.

- Vickie Guerrero's voice. Like nails on a chalkboard.
- Alicia Fox's screeching. Like nails on a chalkboard.
- Alicia Fox's attempts at acting.
- Enzo Amore's voice. Like nails on a chalkboard.
- Enzo Amore's....movements? I don't think it can even be called dancing. I don't know what the hell it's supposed to be.
- Booker T's commentary. It's just awful.

With a couple of notable entrance timings being off this year, I thought it would be a simple job to go into Create-an-Advanced-Entrance and fix them manually. However I've found that doing so removes specific crowd reactions. The examples that particularly irk me include RVD's pyro, and Finn Balor's tron being shown right from the start, rather than at the end of his intro.
Does 2K tend to address these (admittedly minor) issues in patches, or do they usually just leave them as is?

I wouldn't say I hate her, but I certainly don't like the fact that WWE have superpushed her as the face of both women's divisions of SmackDown Live and RAW over the past 12 months. Alexa Bliss is very talented, and is a total package. But I just find that the way that she has been booked above everyone else for so long to be tiring. It's the exact same issue I used to have with Charlotte, with her winning every single PPV. By Fastlane 2017, I was completely sick of Charlotte. But then she had a good break from the title picture, and I'm ready to see her as champion again. I think it's the exact same thing they need to do with Alexa Bliss. Have her take a step back from the title picture, and let other stars shine for a good few months. Then when enough time has gone by, I'd welcome her as champion once again. But right now, I just want them to take the title off her.

Really hope Paige does end up returning tonight, looks incredibly likely, and I really cannot wait to see her back! I really think they should have had her return last week in Manchester though, given it was her home country.
I find it quite odd that they'd put her back on RAW though, given how RAW's women's division has far more star power than SmackDown Live's.

Had a mind boggling moment with Universe mode.
Started a rivalry match with the two superstars brawling to start the match. When I actually got to the match, there is no way to win! It's listed as "Normal match". Pinfall and submissions turned off, no exiting the ring, we've both done 2 finishers to each other, yet the match hasn't ended! Looks like a game-breaking bug.

Ordered Royal Rumble 2014, Elimination Chamber 2014, Extreme Rules 2014, and Summerslam 2016 all on Blu-Ray in the WWEDVD Kick-Off Show sale, all for £14 including postage. I do love WWEDVD's sales. Can't wait to see what they put on for Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Having attended both RAW and SmackDown Live at Manchester arena within the past couple of days, I can honestly say they were both awesome shows, and really memorable experiences. Absolutely loved them! Raw was alright. But no Alexa Bliss sucked I was really surprised that Alexa Bliss didn't actually show up. Sure, she was on-screen in a backstage interview, but that really could have been recorded anywhere. I just assumed that every champion would show up, and unfortunately Alexa Bliss was the only champion who didn't. I found it equally bizarre that Natalya didn't either on SmackDown Live. Still, at least we got a good women's tag team match in Sasha/Bayley VS Nia/Alicia. Even though I would have liked to have seen Bliss and Mickie James as well, seeing Sasha, Bayley and Nia satisfied me. |

Had tickets for Raw for months, but had to get last minute tickets for Smackdown when the title match was announced. Incredible match, incredible moment, very glad to have gone Especially when you consider the historical significance of it being the very first WWE Championship title change outside of America. Knowing that we witnessed history being made was just phenomenal (pun intended)! |
