WWE announced that their event on June 6th at the same arena that was bombed is now cancelled. It's on a Tuesday, so I'm curious if it was a SD! taping but not curious enough to google

Looks like it was an NXT UK tour. And I'm wondering if everything at that arena is cancelled for the near future. I'm sure some investigations/upgrades/repairs have to be made.

And here comes Finn balor

When his intro gets old this guy is completely done for. Luckily for him fans still love new age outlaws/enzo/new day so might take awhile

This is exactly how I feel about Nakamura, actually.

Makes me sad, but his matches have gotten really stale.

To be honest ever since his zayn match debut I've been somewhat underwhelmed by his in ring performance. I'm not a huge new Japan follower but have seen lots of his matches there and know he's capable of putting together extraordinary stuff but I'm not sure how likely we are to see it with the way raw is booked

This is the worst the product's been in a really long time. It says a lot that Jinder is the most interesting thing going on.

Ah so I should've been able to guess that all three of the guys in this triple threat match will be participating in a 5-way six days from now.

With regard to the weekly product that may be true, though I do seem to think that the PPVs were worse (on average) before CM Punk's mid-2011 rise to the top of the card.

EDIT: ...I just realized that it's pretty weird that I'm acting like 6+ years isn't "a really long time."

I've been doing this too, and I think it's a function of my getting older. When I was 11 (in 1991), I remember thinking 1985 (the first Wrestlemania, six years earlier) was so freaking long ago. In 2017, I watch matches from the early-to-mid 90s and don't think a thing about how long ago that really was. 2011 feels like yesterday.

Yeah no real question it's about getting older, years start going by in a blink. That 2011 MITB does not feel long ago at all.

+1 I think about this all the time ..... the 8 years of high school + univ is so vivid in my memory bank but the 8 years of working after was a blur and it was all samey
