Trips is in charge for UK too I presume?

 

Oh he has to be

 

wow, I didn't think they would but they showed the nigel-daniel bryan "pulling eachother to knock heads with the metal ringpost" spot

 

Yikes at them botching that top rope spot twice

 

This is so nitpicky, but I was so annoyed how Coffey would fix his tights after every single high impact spot during that match. But really fun match.

 

I know literally nothing about Walter, but he kind looks like a giant mutant baby and I think I dig it

 

Expect a lot of this

 

He's basically what happens if you really piss off Keith Lee. Or a way less boring Lars Sullivan

 

this story is fucking devastating.

 

the daniel bryan stuff is great. this is definitely up there with WWE docs, probably not as good as the Hardy's but up there with the Finn Balor one

 

even though its on the shorter side, the nigel doc is one of the best wwe has ever produced

 

holy shit

 

was just about to post this, awkward as fuck

 

dude should have been smart enough not to ask that, but also trips usually can work his way around those types of questions. very weird situation. super awk

 

narrator: he didn't

 

lol Graves' commentary on this

 

Yea, there's no chance Vince actually shows attention to nxt shows unless he's actually at the event or something.

 

Vince pretty famously only watches wrestling. I forget which wrestler it was, but Vince basically told him he should only be watching old WWE matches because that's what Vince does.

 

And why he's stuck in the 80s

 

Takeover Blackpool was an awesome show. Walter vs Dunne is gonna be wild

 

But you have to factor in any potential insurance into these deals, which is super valuable given their line of work and high insurance costs. $100K from AEW might be seen as being as valuable as $250K from WWE because of insurance and less travel/wear and tear.

 

Freddie Prinze Jr told me that when he was working for WWE and watching stuff on his computer on the plane rides back to Connecticut, Vince would always ask him why he wasn't watching wrestling

 

Micks finishing move is his humble brag

 

Wasn't very humble, if we're being honest.
