I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but my TSN satellite subscription gave me access to TSN+. Until this week, now they want $8 a month. Since they rarely show Collision on TV it was the only way to watch it. I actually watched half of the episode from Saturday earlier this week, but it won't let me finish it without paying.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

So they only used Natalya for social media promotion?

Did I fall asleep and just not see her on TV?

Lame.

She's on RAW so she wouldn't be.

She closed the show after airing stopped with a title shot against Ripley. I’m not a big WWE guy but the show was fun! There is definitely some slow points though with commercial breaks though. Felt like NFL games that way

These days I'm like a catholic parishioner when it comes to wrestling. Only partake once or twice a year. I'm so out of the loop but I'm slowly getting drawn back in.

Mostly I reminisce with old clips though.

Today I watched because it was in Calgary. The thought didn't occur to me until 2:30 today that I should have tried to go. There was still plenty of tickets available but I'd have been too rushed since I live in Lethbridge.

Thought the show was awesome. Great to see the dome packed for wrestling. Easily double the crowd AEW had. Was great to see Roman and crew. Edge was an awesome surprise and Rey winning the US Title was epic. LA Knight is so over right now, so many yellow YEAH shirts. Haha. Great night!

The yeah shirts were amazing, and I was one of them hah

dean molberg was as well, funny enough and when we got home we watched the live broadcast and he got on tv like 4 times as well haha.

Show was amazing though, and Jey uso exited right up our isle so it was really cool for my son to get that up-close to one of his favourites!

Next time I will bring earplugs for my son though, the pyro was even louder than I thought it would he

Cash Wheeler is facing a third-degree felony charge stemming from a "road rage" incident in Florida.
As first reported by The Orlando Sentinel, Wheeler has been charged with one count of aggravated assault with a firearm and booked in Circuit Court.
Wheeler is alleged to have flashed a handgun at another person during a road rage incident on July 27. A warrant for his arrest was filed the following day. According to county records, he pled not guilty through a lawyer on August 3 and turned himself in on Friday morning to Orlando Police.

Fightful Select and Ringside News are both reporting that there are strong rumours of Edge heading to AEW. Would be a pretty monumental signing.

They also reported last Friday was the end of his contract and it's not over till the end of September.

Wouldn't be shocked though. He wants a last run with Christian and Christian is signed for longer than Edge probably wants to wrestle for, so it is AEW or bust.

It would be a huge signing for AEW... and also probably a mistake.

Unbelievable in his day and transitioned from the older style late 70's early 80's wrestling to hardcore Japanese wrestling.

Challenged a horse to a match and WCW never capitalized on that.





Pile drove Flair in one of the greatest turns of all time.

It's interesting. Would he even be Edge? I think he has permission from Alter Bridge for the music. Would be odd

Terry Funk was god's gift to the wrestling world. Just an insanely talented man wrestling different styles and adapting for the times. Plus, Roadhouse!

RIP Funkster.

Fun story I've seen posted - taken from Bruce Hart's autobiography 'Straight From the Hart': Bruce, Bret and Dean Hart travel down to Texas to work with Dory, only to find him away but are told that his younger brother Terry would look after them

"Terry said he had an angle in mind, which entailed me pretending to be a mark in the crowd and running into the ring on the finish to save the local hero Dick Murdoch. Murdoch would be caught in the Russian sleeper hold, being applied by the dastardly Boris Malenko - their top heel.

I told Terry I'd be happy to give it a shot. Since I was supposed to appear to be a "mark", Terry didn't want us to be seen getting out of his car or walking in with him , so he dropped us off what he said was a block or so from the building - which proved to be a mile or two. When we finally made it to the arena and sat down ringside and proceeded to play our roles - hardcore mark types - booing, cheering and whatnot, our actions seemed to rub some of the rednecks we were sitting near the wrong way and we almost got into a fight or two with them.

During the main event, when Malenko got his dreaded Russian sleeper hold on Murdoch, I slid under the bottom rope and jumped on Malenko's back, piggyback style.

I should note that I'd never met either Malenko or Murdoch before this and I sensed something was wrong, as Malenko tensed up and I heard him telling Murdoch "some ####ing mark just jumped on my back." He then gave me a stiff head mare on the mat. As I was laying on the mat, I saw him wrapping the chain around his fist and drawing back to clobber me with it. Wide-eyed and scared ####less I began shouting, "Kayfabe, kayfabe", which is the wrestler's way of letting the other guy know that you're not a mark. He looked at me, kind of perplexed and I shouted, "Terry Funk told me to run in on the finish." Malenko and Murdoch looked at each other, puzzled and Murdoch then snarled, "That ####ing Terry and his ribs."

At that point, I suddenly found myself surrounded by cops, who handcuffed me and dragged my ass out of the ring. They threw me in the back of their police cruiser and i was contemplating having to spend the night in a southern jail - which, based on movies I'd seen, was nothing to look forward to.

My spirits brightened momentarily when I saw Terry Funk come out the back door of the arena and approach the police cruiser. I figured that he'd tell the cops everything was cool, but he instead launched into an Academy Award-deserving rant about how I'd endangered the safety of thousands of fans, beseeching the cops to lock me up and throw the keys away. He then stormed away in a huff, making out to be incensed and leaving me to ponder how I was going to get my ass out of this thing."

Eventually Lord Alfred Hayes talked the cops into letting Bruce go, and he says he and Terry laughed about the incident and became good friends.
