I can see where they're going with the storyline idea and and why it's happening but did we really need to have a match on the iPPV to be Rampage Brown vs. Adam Blampied? Like, couldn't they at least have gone with a Damo/Rampage rematch with if Rampage wins, he gets 5 minutes with Adam instead of shoving Damo out of the company storyline wise? My guesses would be A) they think blampied is so hated, people will pay to see that, or B) it's a swerve.

It just makes it seem a lot less creative. It just takes to my view that these guys need to have very little to do with the on screen product because it takes away from the main stars. Not a massive amount, just enough to make me think they're slightly hypocritical when they rant about McMahon related stuff.

I haven't given these guys the time of day because they're a click bait promotion, but I heard Minoru Suzuki was going to be here. What's going on with that?

He's wrestling Joe Coffey on the live iPPV on Thursday, and is also working the Loaded tapings on Friday, and the house show in Altrincham on Saturday.

Ok I laughed at the bit on Loaded #11 of a voice over of "At this moment the local hero respectfully informs Suzy that her interruption is unprofessional and without swearing asks if they could resolve the matter at a more appropriate time." I can see where they're going with the storyline idea and and why it's happening but did we really need to have a match on the iPPV to be Rampage Brown vs. Adam Blampied? Like, couldn't they at least have gone with a Damo/Rampage rematch with if Rampage wins, he gets 5 minutes with Adam instead of shoving Damo out of the company storyline wise? From all accounts Big Damo is NXT bound.

So I heard. If that's the case, great signing.
He's like if Braun Strowman didn't suck.

Here's the full card...

The streaming service failed for this show. Why does no one stress test these things?

WhatCulture has built a kingdom off of click bait articles and insipid Top 10s and listicles like a neo-Cracked. Man, I just remembered Cracked.

Fair enough. I think they are very good myself.

WhatCulture Extra (which a lot of people went for because it's cheaper) absolutely failed hilariously. I bought the one-off on Fite TV, streaming via Roku, and it's worked perfectly. Been a fine show, if not great, with JR and Cornette bemused by several people, mainly the locals and the WhatCulture guys.

Cracked was once a fav site of mine but it went downhill so hard. One thing that it did that no other click bait site does is not do one page for every link. It keeps me from going to the website every time.

I can't stand these guys but they're bringing Angle, Rhodes, Del Rio, Cornette and Melina to about 15 miles from my house tomorrow so I'm going to that. £16.50. Not bad.

Ok, I want to vent about something that I may have less context of so if I am wrong from people who saw it, let me know.
So Martin Kirby was a thorn in Adam Pacitti's side for weeks but despite this, gets given opportunities to prove himself (or to humiliate him I guess) and managed to succeed in some of them.
So for your first iPPV, Pacitti gives him a title shot because...he wants him to lose on their first iPPV. Which doesn't make business sense but sure. During this time, he's getting more over.
The title match happens and Kirby's about to win, hitting a move he's never hit until Pacitti screws him over because...shock factor!
So why did you give him the title shot at all if you didn't expect he's do well?
And the worst thing is, ALEX SHANE is the sympathetic, logical figure saying Kirby rightfully got screwed even though he was, in storyline, a heel and Pacitti the face.
So now you're building ANOTHER WhatCulture dude vs. Wrestler feud.
Basically, HEEL AUTHORITY FIGURES NEED TO DIE SO SO BADLY I HATE THEM ESPECIALLY IF THEY BOOK THE SHOW!!!

WhatCulture Extra currently has the full True Legacy show up in one file, but YouTube only has a few matches so far, with the rest being uploaded next Saturday. Their next tapings are in London on Wednesday, with Martin Kirby vs. Will Ospreay 2 announced, plus El Ligero defending the Internet Title against either Gabriel Kidd, Prince Ameen or Marty Scurll (gee, I wonder who will win that vote...), more matches in the Tag Tournament, plus Joseph Conners and Nixon Newell defending their titles. The next iPPV is "Delete WCPW" on November 30th in Nottingham, featuring Broken Matt Hardy, and there's a taping in Liverpool in January, plus of course they have a show in Orlando during WrestleMania Weekend.
