Decent card. There’s lots I like and bits I’d pass on.

I’m not sure a UK show is the setting for the end of the Reigns reign. Or that Drew is the man to do it.

I got the impression Lashley/Ciampa will be a TV rivalry.

Not down for Ziggler and Styles as a team. I don’t know what you go with Ziggler at this point but not this. Wasn’t Ziggler doing something with Theory??

Lock Jaw 08-02-2022 02:57 PM

Is Ziggy a face again?

XL 08-02-2022 03:30 PM

Yeah.

XL 08-02-2022 03:57 PM

Lashley vs Ciampa is planned for Raw next week. Nothing to say they can’t run it again at the UK show though.

He was doing something with Theory. An earlier “draft” I had in my head saw him facing Ziggler or defending the briefcase in a bonus MITB, but I’m happy to put that on ice and move forward with Styles & Ziggler for a short run.

I thought the same about Lashley/Ciampa. Didn’t know it was going to be on PPV next week. I like Lashley’s streak at stadium shows though. Wouldn’t mind this being elongated somehow.

Agree with Drew. I’m not there. I’m just not sure they can beat him in the UK. Well, I guess there’s always a way. But it would feel like modern WWE where very little matters if we’re just asked to accept this loser. But I wouldn’t put it past them.

I’ve been journeying through ’95 WWF lately, following by month and day (i.e., Friday is August 5, so that’s when I’ll watch it the 8/5/95 episode of Superstars , etc.), as I really haven’t ever watched the majority of it. I do hope they add the November and December episodes of Superstars before I get to where I would be watching those, though, as I’d like as complete a “snapshot”, so to speak of 1995 WWF as possible.

I’ve been meaning to do something like this. Would probably give me more of a kick than the modern stuff. My current viewing habits are eclectic though. It might benefit me to order them a bit.

Different Regal. This was Mr. Electricity Steve Regal lol

Evil Vito 08-04-2022 09:06 AM

Funny thing is William Regal really did start training and wrestling in the UK when he was only 15, but was still working under his real name (Darren Matthews)

Didn't take on the Steve Regal name until he'd come to the US in the early 90s, and the other Regal had retired.

Would the spoil what they have with Roman just to send the UK fans home happy? Ultimately they’ll still be the #2 promotion in the UK.

I remember him standing out on the collage of all their NIL signings. Unfortunately, that’s going to be the downside to giving untested young athletes publicity — some are bound to turn out to be total dickheads.

Mr. Nerfect 08-04-2022 10:44 PM

Random thought: If the WWE had of never done the roster split in 2002, we could have had a tag team division of Angle & Benoit, Edge & Rey, Los Guerreros, Booker & Goldust and Vitamin C. I could have seen Heyman putting together an ECW team of RVD & Tajiri which would have been fun as shit too.
