Those territories most certainly weren't fictional. I know, they were as real as Hulk Hogan’s 400 days a year schedule. Actually I think Hogan was misquoted. When you're doing double shots on the weekend and working just about every day of the year then yes, you're working over 400 times a year easy.

Been entertaining scrolling the net looking at all the folks saying this is what Drew got for staying with WWE and should've went elsewhere.
It's almost like these guys make the decision they think is best for their career and their family.
Not making decisions based off random people on the internet and their fantasy booking ideas and/or their abnormal hatred for WWE.

"If I say I wrestled four hundred days a year, it's no exaggeration. My years were actually longer than 365 days. There were times when I'd fly back and forth to Japan twice a week just to wrestle. Now it was nothing to wrestle in Madison Square Garden one day, then fly all the way to the Egg Dome in Tokyo the same day, 'cause you'd gain fourteen hours, and then fly back to the West Coast and so on ... So I could wrestle in Japan today and then fly back across the International Date Line and land in another town yesterday. I was constantly adding days to my years!"

What part of that statement isn't true??

It's too bad that Gunther can't leave America. He always steals the show. Gunther literally just wrestled at King of the Ring in Saudi three weeks ago. Yes. I was thinking about when he had the traveling issues. I remember him winning the tournament now.

Bayley vs Piper was good enough tbh. Chelsea was great man.

I’d like a Susan Lucci type deal with Drew where it becomes a running joke he loses every time he has a title match in the UK

I thought this was a pretty fun show, AJ and Cody was a great way to kick off the show. I will admit, I am so late to the Cody party that they have the chairs up on the table and are vacuuming the floors, but he has something about him. I was turned off initially by the really obnoxious Cody fanbase, but there is no doubt that he is a star and while I think his first promo after winning the title made him look like a bitch, they have done a great job making him seem like a legit badass.
I do wonder where AJ goes from here though. I am a big AJ fan and I do not think there is much chance of him ever dethorning Cody, but I would like to see him move into another high profile feud before he hangs it up for good.
When the Bloodline were putting a beating on Cody, I actually thought it was going to be AJ making the save, after learning the error of his ways, would have been a good way to turn AJ face again, although I do love sadistic heel AJ.
Also, as a Scotsman who saw many live WWF shows in the old SECC in Glasgow, it was awesome to see how much the crowd was into the show.
In all, a fun show and it had a lot of stuff that I liked. The way the WWE is telling stories lately such as the stuff with Cody, Sami and Otis, Dom and his love triangle has been fantastic.

Great to have Priest retain. That brother deserves a longer reign.

I get the same entertainment scrolling on this board reading all the dismissals of every talent who can't or won't give their entire beating hearts to the WWE altar. It's almost like people recognize WWE won't give a ripe sh*t about you if you don't have an elite résumé or claim familial ties to Samoa. Talent can find happiness or security or money in WWE, just don't expect to be heard or treated like a megastar.

This was probably AJs last shot at the WWE Title for awhile, great way to go out tbh. I'd say he should win it or the World Title before he eventually retires.
