Official WWE UK Brand Show and news etc or something like that thread

[Riley Escobar]

We watching this Saturday and Sunday or nah?

 

[TheAlbionist]

I'll be watching live... God save the King of Kings for blessing us with this GMT prime time bounty.

 

[Roman Brady]

say what you want about HHH, and he is spending Vinces money, but he's doing a damn good job of it.

And the business would be worse off without HHH. He does a good job at taking an old school approach in a new school era

Old school approach? This is the first time in all wrestling history where there are barely any characters or wrestlers with nicknames (let alone storylines)

The preview special was not impressive. Didn't introduce you to anyone beyond "this is their name and catch phrase", you don't know who is good and who isn't, what moves to look for. It was mostly 20 minutes of blowing themselves for "expanding" to the UK when they've been running shows there for 30 years. The plan is to end up doing a UK weekly show after this in the same vein as 205 Live. So....that's why they were so freaked out about that dog shyt World of Sport revival?

This is pretty much a dumbed down SS16 with better cameras and sound equipment. I may watch because I love some British wrasslin but at the end of the day, it's just a glorified job fair.

I wasn't interested before and I'm even less interested now. They did a terrible job of promoting this thing.

 

[The Eliminator]

Got Mandrews to win the thing
He is the only one I recognize

 

[TheGodling]

I literally have zero interest in this. Hell, if it wasn't for my eyes occasionally glancing over the thread as I skim TSC I wouldn't even remember this was happening.

 

[8WON6]

All them dudes look generic as fukk.

 

[Dylmatic]

At least the belt is beautiful.

fukk it, I'm excited.

I'm not sure why UK wrestling gets so derided...they will always be second fiddle to the spotlights of WWE and Japanese wrestling, but these guys can work with the best in the world.

I'm thankful for Revolution Pro, and especially PROGRESS, for opening my eyes and mind to the deep well of talent that exists across the pond.

I'll be glad to post live, highlight anything must watch, and let people know if this tournament is more than just WWE's scrambled response to World of Sport.

 

[DamienWayne]

Is there still a title hierarchy?

 

[jackswstd]

At least the belt is beautiful.

Looks too similar to the other world belts as far as the shape, but it is a nice looking belt. I think it would've look great with a white leather.

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

At least the belt is beautiful.

Legitimately one of their best belts EVER

 

[PYRRHUS 88]

Title reminds me of a superbowl ring or something

Looks prestigious af
