That should be a great bout, hopeful they get given enough time given its a regular taping. I would like to see more of the UK talent appear on NXT in doses will keep the brand fresh.

They'll probably use the UK wrestlers on NXT similarly to how they used the Cruiserweights before they got 205 Live , in 'showcase' matches .

guessing will only be on until this weekly show gets up off the ground

For Goldberg to win and just drop it again doesn't make sense.... better off doing a non-title stipulation match with brock

Yeah they did that with Shawn Michaels back in 2002 when he won the first elimination chamber and Triple H's title.They've devalued the belts so much and shat on so much great talent over the years,I suspect Vince is past caring when it comes to ridiculous decisions.

News & Notes 10/2.

Quote:During the Fourth Quarter 2016 earnings call today, Vince McMahon confirmed reports that the company is looking to have a United Kingdom television show on the WWE Network.

Vince said that they have partners lined up that are interested in the show after the buzz it received from the recent tournament to crown a UK Champion. Vince said that the expansion from that success can be exponential.

When a caller asked about the UK expansion and possibly bringing the UK Champion to WrestleMania, Vince said that the UK tournament allows WWE to capitalize on local and larger markets. Vince said that there’s just so much opportunity on a global basis that they really haven’t tapped into much but this tournament was their first attempt. He praised Triple H for attracting a number of top international talents.

Quote:In regards to the next draft, Bryan Alvarez mentioned on today’s installment of Wrestling Observer Live that the company is actually planning on having a draft sometime this year. It’s believed that the draft will most-likely take place sometime in June, well after WrestleMania and before the next big event, SummerSlam.

Quote:Austin Aries has been cleared to wrestle after suffering an orbital bone break several months ago. While not confirmed, Neville vs. Austin Aries for the cruiserweight title is a match that has been discussed for WrestleMania. It's speculated that Aries doing the cruiserweight interviews will lead to angle to kick off a feud between Aries and Neville.

Spot on mate its all about the money.They've just released some financial figures and despite the huge drop in TV ratings and ppv buy rates they've made a profit of over $33,000,000.Again way down from the '98 to '01 period but stll healthy. Needless to say that means we won't see much of a change in the quality of the overall product.

Just the news we needed to hear, good to see the business is healthy but it will mask its overall direction. Rolleyes

Who's looking forward to Elimination Chamber tonight?

Is anyone staying up for it?

Not me... only interested in the big 4 ppvs. Staying up for a WWE ppv nowadays is ridiculous
