I was at one of the Belfast ones recently and it's actually a good enough evening, WWE def know how to put a show on.

Finally worked my way through the five (!) hours of the main show there tonight. Weird show. The Shane O'Mac storyline looks a bit pointless with him losing, it seemed designed to only make sense with a win. But they made a mockery of the stipulation by having him getting control anyways the next night.

Same goes for the Ambrose-Lesnsar match, it was the best one on the card by a mile but they chickened out of giving Ambrose the rub he deserves by having Lesnar win. Reigns wins the world title as expected the only one that was correct booking to my eyes and obviously he really shouldn't have been in the main event to begin with such is the fan apathy towards him. The womens' match was good it had to be said.

The Rock segment was really weird. I thought they might have an impromptu Bray Wyatt-Rock match but instead they had a two second squash match - what was the point of that tease? It just pisses of the real fans.

Jerhico-Styles was total meh and it's absolute nonsense that they had Styles lose to an upper-mid carder on the Sunday at his first major PPV then expect people to buy him as the #1 contender for the world title the next night. Who writes shite like that.

I think they are billing Lesnar to take on the streak mantle when Undertaker finally does hang up his boots, their match was alot shorter than it should of been only making room for the Rock Section needlessly.

Worst thing about Shane O'Mac Undertaker is Shane came out and said the product is shit and stale and needs fixed then they make him lose anyway so does that mean they are happy with the shit show they are putting on? lol I could see a brand split with Shane getting Smackdown or something.

Originally from Scotland but her Fiancée is from the Antrim Glens and she has done a lot of stuff here in recent years. Great to see her get a big break.

Yeah his parents have been heavily involved in our local hurling club for many years, his father is from Armagh.

David McKeown · October 19, 2016, 11:00:30 PM

That he is. Grandfather played hurling for Antrim too

Yeah he played in the 1943 All Ireland final, good people.

I think Damiens father, Conor, is the brother of Eamonn Mackle who was the Armagh liaison/logistics man

David McKeown · October 19, 2016, 11:54:23 PM

He is indeed

Well - that was something else last night in the main event

The beast slayed. Seriously though how much was Lesnar paid to job like that?

World of Sport Wrestling is back on ITV right now. Best part is JR on the mic - why Vince got rid of him is beyond me. The best announcer the sport has ever seen. When I think about the best moments of the Attitude Era the first thing that comes to mind is JR's play-calling. So good.
