Still have the same feelings about the WWE title Triple Threat match. Match itself was good but didn't care for it back than and didn't care about it now.

Mayweather vs Big Show is arguably Big Show's best ever Mania match. Had no reason at all to be as good as it was in the end. Also pretty funny this Mania supposedly made one of the least amount of money ever in Mania history when considering the rumored amount WWE spent to get Mayweather.

Taker-Edge match reminded me of the stretch of great Mania matches Taker had from Mania 23 to either Mania 26 or 29 depending on your preferences.

Everything after Taker-HBK II was overkill but him retiring after hitting 20-0 or after the streak broke would have been a lot better than him still dragging on.

Well, to be fair, Kevin Steen's WWE name is Kevin Owens, where Sami Zayn could just be Sami Zayn's "shoot" WWE name.

I like what HBK said in his table for 3 with AJ, that he would come back for a single match if it makes sense. But if he comes back and wins, who's that done for anyone and if AJ beats him, it's just expected.

Random fact. Since WM 13 I have witnessed every Wrestlemania live on PPV or The Network with the exception of WM 20 and WM 29. Both years I was too busy and lost interest in WWE around WM season. I just put on WM 29 to watch. The thing is, I've never really been able to sit through either show without falling asleep. So anyway, here goes with 29.

According to the Observer, WWE is still working on plans for an eventual UK division to happen. They also have plans for a new Performance Center to open in the region.

In regards to a potential tv show, still not happening any time soon and the big reason is due to ITV looking more likely they won't be restarting their World of Sport project. Without ITV's competition, WWE has no motivation to speed things up with the UK stuff.

The "big five," which they consider as Trent Seven, Tyler Bate, Pete Dunne, Wolfgang and Mark Andrews were believed to have gotten better deals, in at least one case from $20,000 a year to $50,000. They also just signed Zack Gibson, and it was for the U.K. project and not for NXT. The idea is still to do tapings and run a U.K. based promotion, and eventually open a training center with the idea of bringing U.K. trainers to Florida (like Johnny Moss already did) to teach them how WWE wants people trained and have them run it ...

In the U.K. dressing rooms the word has been passed around that Joe Coffey has signed a U.K. deal, but Coffey himself has personally denied it. The problem is the immediate counter is that he has to say that until WWE announces it, but as a story, this has already spread in different places

According to PWI, WWE is in serious talks again with Hogan for a possible return to the company.

If they seriously bring him back publicly, WWE is even dumber than before since they would have learned nothing from the Moolah mess. Also wouldn't be surprised if Vince gets revealed as the main person responsible again since he's been the biggest supporter of wanting Hogan back since his departure.

WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan last appeared for World Wrestling Entertainment in July 2015, but that could soon change.

PWInsider.com has learned that conversations are underway for Hogan, 64-years old, to return to the company. Discussions began several weeks ago.

There is no word yet as to what role Hogan could play for the company should the two sides come to terms. The obvious guess would be an authority role for the Smackdown brand. It fits logically, given that Shane McMahon has taken a “leave of absence” from his role as Smackdown Live’s storyline Commissioner and Daniel Bryan is returning as a pro wrestler, but that’s just a guess.

It could simply be Hogan is returning to resume his former duties as an ambassador for the company. Wrestlemania is coming and as nonsensical as it sounds, Braun Strowman needs a partner. WWE is also lining up tons of major names for the Greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia. Hogan would certainly fit in as a major addition there. There will always be a need for star power to mine for future DVD and WWE Network projects. Hogan fits into all those scenarios and many more.

WWE, in responding to a PWInsider request for comment, issued the following statement:

“"We have had discussions with Terry Bollea (aka Hulk Hogan) about how he can help others learn from his mistakes, however, he is not under any contract with WWE."

That would be epic. Only thing that could possibly be better would be to have Titus Worldwide in the match so Hogan could get the pin on a black guy to show he's not racist and will squash anyone.

They posted a statement on their website (which no longer exists outside of a front page) and emailed all the talent very close to the date cancelling the entire tour of bookings and citing that reason. Not even sure if any of the shows were even supposed to be in Manchester. In reality they didn't sell enough tickets to cover the huge losses they were taking. Lots of UK guys were very open / pissed off about it on twitter.

It's a glitch. I once made a (poorly recorded) video on it on my OLD channel, both of which are probably long gone by now as I think I put the vid up about a decade or so ago.

Bonus Fact: The ref's theme will be either the early 2003 SD! theme (for matches at SD! and SD! exclusive PPVs and dual-brand ppvs where both competitors are on SD!) or "Across the Nation" (for matches at RAW and RAW exclusive PPVs and dual-brand PPVs where both competitors are on RAW).

The only "Legend" to actually work was Glacier, who was in a Battle Royal. Ricky Steamboat helped some skinny guy beat Kahagas (only other guy I had heard of not in the local Indy fed, and probably only regular wrestler at the show not paid $20 and a hot dog to show up.)

I get the new American title in NXT , with the recent expansions on the roster it gives more guys something to work with , more meaningful feuds. For example would have been a great idea to try it out on Lars Sullivan , see how how well he works as a champ before he goes for the main title.

The UK title has been kept around whilst the WWE get their house in order over what is happening with their UK expansion but I'm with you if it's not gonna happen soon then get rid of it. Their main 5 guys are good enough to be on the NXT roster without the need of a title.

I've never really seen the point in the UK Title myself, or even the whole division.

How many people are part of the division?

Three or four?

They're not doing anything stupid with the division. They just aren't doing anything with it.

Unrelated, why doesn't Byron Saxton wrestle anymore? Was it an injury? He seemed to be pretty good.

Figured that was likely going to be the case when his initial surgery got delayed. Went from something routine to something a lot more major.

I wouldn’t even say there was a division as such. Just a few guys that pop up in NXT (and 205Live) from time-to-time. Dunne has been defending against non-UK guys lately.

They have 5 as their main guys and maybe a couple more on the side from the original UK tourney batch.

Or, if the women's roster and the tag-team division were confined to one show each. Men on Raw, Women on SD. Make the Smackdown belts the Women's Tag. Deepen the tag roster by having it on one show and actually USE the goddamn teams they have instead of the holding pattern on top of the potential new recruits waiting down in Florida on top of teams waiting around like War Machine.

As for UK/N.American title, I think the NA is just supposed to be strictly the NXT midcard strap, and the UK championship, sad to say, is just a prop. If they actually had plans for some sort of UK only division/show/promotion, it would make more sense, but again, it seemed like a ploy just to get their hands on talent and foot in a door they don't really have big plans for (similar to how Jinder was just supposed to be a magic bullet for India because reasons), but it kinda stops other places from being as big if all the best talent and specific venue is under WWE contract. Also seems kinda weird that Pete Dunne can kinda go anywhere and do whatever the fuck he wants in spite of being a WWE branded champion. Pretty fucking awesome, but still weird.

Wasn't saying SD should be an all women show. I was saying it makes more sense to consolidate the women's roster to one show, and the show that makes more sense is Smackdown.

I don't like the idea of the NA title on NXT. Like, why? The UK Title I sort of got, because it was going to be its own show and just never took off, but Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate have been killing it in the eyes of people, so why scrap it? But yeah, champions should be the champion of something. Being the champion of NXT's mid-card is just ridiculous.
