Is that just live? ie will it be on Bravo later? eg they only showed the 4th Jan Impact yesterday.

[Michel Sibble]

It's on Bravo as well for the time being, as the UK contract is up this month. BT Vision is on some sort of time delay.

**BREAKING NEWS*** The previously announced Genesis PPV online thing from TNAWrestling.com has been withdrawn. Viewers were to pay 11GBP to see it (officially).

Did someone say clusterfu*k earlier?

Ultimate Warrior pays a visit to the Funeral Parlour 1991


I love the way the camera is already waiting for the Undertaker to come out and duff up the Warrior. Same thing happened when Hogan went on the Funeral Parlour, Flair distracted him and Undertaker attacked him from behind.

pre match promos for Royal Rumble 92!

[greenwichvilla]

Deano, that was quality! Thank you.

Watched Wrestling With Shadows last night. Something I'd been meaning to watch but never got around too. Found an amazing stream which I put through to my ps3, didn't stop once, incredible! Anyway, it was probably a good time to watch it with Bret being back. I got quite upset at the end, I knew everything that happened, but to see it unfold like that on film is actually quite harrowing. I don't think there's too much of a difference between Bret and 'The Hitman' which I like. Vince just proves everything that's ever been said of him. What a bell end!

After las week's events, I expect to see Bret on Raw this week. Still confused about where they're going with this. Got a worrying feeling he may join DX. His burying the hachet with Shawn seemed genuine, there was/is genuine animosity there. As much as he denies it to this day, it seems quite obvious that HHH was involved in the Screwjob. He's too much of a control freak not to be. I think that with this Michaels/Taker Mania angle (not again, please, last year was a classic, let it be) and HHH throwing Shawn out of the ring like that on Raw could be the start of his much needed heel turn. I expect HHH to feature in the Bret angle, but I'm not sure where. Lots to look forward to, hopefully with Bret being victorious.

Bret won't go anywhere near DX. I suspect he has more of an issue now with Triple H than HBK as you're right, Hunter was VERY much involved in the screwjob and reportedly was the first one to suggest it.

The kiss-and-make-up between Bret and Shawn was necessary for the Hart-McMahon story to work, but I don't think you'll be seeing Bret interact with HBK or HHH any time soon and definitely not joining DX.

[TheTimVilla]

HBK has said that DX will split up after Royal Rumble anyway. I can't see HHH winning the Rumble so he'll need a storyline... I'd rather see HBK turn heel as he hasn't (properly) for so long. I'm still recovering from HHH's last heel turn and that was years ago!

[greenwichvilla]

I hate HHH.

[TheTimVilla]

Well don't leave us hanging...!

[greenwichvilla]

I just hate the way that he dominates everything in WWE. The Shamus push has come because he's HHH's gym partner and they travel on the road together.

I hate the way that he seems to have a split personality. One week he's this Greenwich Bruiser (gives my town a bad name!) and then the next he's clowning around in DX.

I hate his blatant involvement with the Screwjob, and yet still denies it, even putting the blame on Shawn when the were back in Montreal for Breaking Point.

I hate the way that he didn't really bother to promote the Triple Threat at Survivor Series.

I hate the way that he shows no respect for the Unified Tag titles.

I hate his massive nose.

I hate it when he spits his water everywhere.

I hate the way he's always in the main event, he'll be headlining Mania again weather he wins the rumble or not.

I hate the fact he's married to the bosses daughter.

I hate the fact that anything that happens will only benefit him in the long run.

I hate the fact I could run all night with this.

I hate the fact I now sound like that QPR fan.

Rant over. Looking forward to Raw tonight, hopefully we'll see Bret.

[Guy M]

I hate the fact I now sound like that QPR fan.

I'm glad you dropped that in there, because that's what I was starting to think.

I was really disappointed with how him and Shawn absolutely crushed Spirit Squad a couple of years back. That gimmick was funny, those guys were over and yet they completely ruined the tag-team division by making them (and all subsequent tag-teams) look inferior to two superstars thrown together at a moment's notice.

In fact, if there's one thing I hate most about the WWE nowadays it's that: the tag-team division being non-existent and tag-matches used to drag out singles' feuds. But that's really just a result of the over-exposure created by the weekly broadcasts which are a result of increased market forces blah blah blah

But I get where you're coming from. Oh and you forgot to mention his use of the sledgehammer when he is a heel. If you're that damn hard, Hunter, why do you need a weapon, huh?!

I actually quite like him as a heel. I just hate his use of the sledgehammer, but don't tell greenwich

IT'S THE ROYALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL RUMBLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLE!

Will probably be watching it Monday evening with my bro and really looking forward to it as ever.

Random thought about last week's SmackDown - really impressed with the Divas angle and their work on the mic. A proper storyline, based in reality, giving the people involved the time to make the audience 'care'. Exactly how WWE should use its women wrestlers.

Off to trawl the fansites to see what else has been going on and avoid any Rumble spoilers because it's looking like this year will have more main-eventers in it than ever.

[TheTimVilla]

I'll record it and watch it on Monday, so no spoilers! Who will be the surprise entrant? RVD again? Booker T? Ricky Steamboat?

[Guy M]

I was just reading a section of an interview with RVD and he says he'd never work for WWE on a full-time full-schedule basis again. Wouldn't surprise me to see him turn up at the Rumble on a one-off basis and then sign with TNA in a short while.

Would LOVE to see King Booker and Queen Sharmell back. They crack me up.

[bobcat]

I reckon edge is coming back at the rumble. He'll start his fued with Jericho for wrestlemania. Bret vs HHH at WM, they'll tease it as Bret vs vince then HHH will fight for Vince. Big show to win the rumble and challenge undertaker.
