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!

Just got back from attending this event. All I can is that it was awesome, and definitely a show worth watching!

I am going for the trophy "WWE Veteran" (MyCAREER - Complete the main story.) What is the end goal for MyCareer? Right now I'm on Raw with a feud going heading to my first PPV. How much longer can I expect? The end goal is having a match at WrestleMania. Even though the mode will be a repetitive bore for the first few months, it has the potential to suddenly turn really awesome from Survivor Series onwards. So I'd encourage you to stick with it. |

It was indeed an awesome show. Very pleased to have been in attendance for it.

Fun fact: this RAW had quite a number of technical issues in person. Backstage segments and adverts would play on the titantron with no audio. Quite amusing to hear the crowd mocking it.
Apparently Alicia Fox made Asuka a member of Team RAW in a backstage segment. News to me. That backstage segment didn't play in the arena. Asuka won her match, left the ring, then randomly came back to the ring and continued celebrating.

The crowd isn’t very good, though. Usually UK crowds can be a little self indulgent and annoying, but tonight they’re just dead. Really? It did not sound that way at all in person. Sounds like it just didn't pick up well enough. Overall though, it was a pretty good show. I certainly loved attending it. That's all I'll say. |

Can't wait for this, especially considering I will be in attendance! Sounds like an exciting show planned. I thought the Guitar on a Pole match sounded rather silly since it was announced, but it should be good fun!

Honestly, I cannot say I have a preference for any one era over another. They all have their pros and cons, which make every era more or less equal in my view.
In the Golden Era, you had vivid, colourful characters that made it exciting, but the matches themselves were usually quite dull, and the technology of the time means it has not aged well.
In the Attitude Era, you had less vivid and colourful characters, but you had some truly great angles. However at the same time, you had some of the worst moments in wrestling history.
In the Reality era, you have almost no vivid and colourful characters. Everyone is basically just a regular person who can wrestle. However, you have the most exciting matches of any era, and all the brilliant technology of the time (even despite the boneheaded choice to step backwards with the loss of pyro).
It all balances out in my view.

I would definitely prefer WrestleMania 12 attire first. One of my personal favourite Warrior looks. Though I would happy to eventually also get WCW Warrior later down the line as well.

Jeff Hardy VS Umaga in a Falls Count Anywhere match at One Night Stand: Extreme Rules 2008 was an amazing match, and one I never seem to see people mention. Definitely one of my favourites of all time.

TI also got to meet Jason Jordan, Enzo, Sheamus, Kane, Karl Anderson, Elias, Miz, Nia Jax, Jojo, Samoa Joe. I also ticked one of the major goals off of my bucket list when I finally met Alexa Bliss! She was so nice, I'm still on a high from it and I'll remember that meeting for the rest of my life. Out of interest, how did you get to meet them? |

Does anyone else get a weird vibe about this match? It seems like it was an audible that was not planned to happen for a while. Was it to bolster sagging ticket sales in the UK? Is it to get the title off Mahal prior to Survivor Series, and then have Mahal regain it for India? Something just seems odd seeing as they've either postponed or scrapped the Rusev qualifying match. Maybe someone failed something? Just seems hastily thrown together. Yes, I know there was a storyline brewing, but why wait until Thursday to announce the match? Why not go through with the Rusev match and then have AJ face Mahal the following week. If it's to build up Mahal, why not do it the week before Survivor Series? Maybe I'm thinking too much into it but it just seems weird to put this match on all of a sudden. I guess the good news for WWE is that it has people talking about it. But most are already thinking this is either the start of the Raw retaliation or that Jinder is clearly going over. But the former begs the question: why not just wait to set up the match properly in the following week and then have the raw team invade then during the final SDL? AJ VS Jinder for the title is a match that has been advertised on the event page on the arena's website for a good couple of weeks now. So it's definitely something they had planned. |

I just find it extremely laughable that the OP seriously doesn't think extremely unprofessional behaviour should result in someone losing their job. How the OP is disputing that negative social media comments results in job loss is absolutely hilarious! In any job if you're found making unprofessional comments in regards to your job, chances are you could be let go. If you're employed by a company, you're a representative of that company and should not be found willingly representing the company in such an unprofessional way.
And no, anyone with leaked images should not have been released either, for reasons somebody has already explained perfectly. They're two entirely different matters.
In my view, he really doesn't deserve to have his job and I'm surprised they didn't release him. To mock a co-worker for losing their job is just extremely unprofessional behaviour. More than that, it's just flat-out disrespectful and grossly immature. The fact that he didn't think it was a bad idea in the first place just shows how immature he is, and clearly isn't ready to represent the company anytime soon.

Also, none of the events are taking place in Manchester. RAW and SmackDown Live next week are taking place in Manchester. |

So, quite a funny glitch happened that I thought I'd share. I present to you footage that you didn't see during the main event of WrestleMania 33, aka when Roman met a steel chair:

I'm up to the rumble in my career and I thought MITB was impossible, so this is gonna be a chore. There's a really easy trick to winning the Royal Rumble, no matter whether you enter at number 1 or 27. As soon as an opponent comes in, put them in a corner, place them on the top rope, then running strike them. It'll knock them out of the ring and eliminate them, and doesn't seem to get reversed. |

I've just about had it with My Career. After finishing the main story, I thought I'd go for the remaining two My Career trophies, with one being to reach Level 10 on a career track, and the other to complete 20 side quests. Well, it turns out that as soon as you complete the main story, side quests break completely! I successfully complete objectives, only to be told I've failed them. That's when I'm lucky to get a side quest that isn't one of two options. One option being Big Show/Samoa Joe telling me they want to face me at the next PPV, only to not face them and then fail the objective. Second option being Matt Bloom asking me to manage a friend's My Career superstar, which as you can imagine, is not fun at all.
At this point, I'm ready to just give up on My Career.

Can't say I'm personally bothered by Emma, Darren Young, or Summer Rae getting released. Emma was decent, but I never felt invested in her. Never could stand the Prime Time Players, and never saw Darren Young's single run. As for Summer Rae, I only ever saw her as Fandango's valet.
So it sucks for them to no longer have jobs, but as a viewer I'm not fussed. I was surprised to see Emma gone though.

Oh my god, so many amazing releases!!
But...so many US store exclusives that international buyers will never see without paying over the top international shipping and customs fees. That makes me sad. For the life of me, I've never understood why WWE Shop exclusives aren't also sold on WWE Euroshop.
