Fell asleep ridiculously early last night and woke up at 6am. Time to find something in my collection to watch. If I ever lose or break my external hard drive I might kill myself. I'd never be able to replace 10% of it.

Probably going to be around this level or worse for when WWE starts their own weekly NXT UK show. WWE is somewhat weak in the region for tv and WOS barely benefited from the lack of EPL games this weekend. |

Won’t NXT UK be on the network though?

Yes although WWE also had plans for it to be on tv as well in the UK based on rumors.
Supposedly they shopped the brand around during the same time ITV kept delaying their own WoS plans. Was also speculated ITV might be interested in a deal with the WWE if they couldn't launch WoS. |

If NXT UK is going to be on TV in the UK, I can only imagine it would be on Sky Sports as they're the only channel in the UK that shows WWE Programming.
I can't imagine WWE going somewhere else and risk potentially making Sky unhappy. |

I think I’m misinterpretating you’re post about WOS. Are you saying that NXT UK will adversely affect WOS viewership, or that WWE can expect similar ratings?

WWE can expect something similar in ratings. Maybe even worse considering TNA/Impact used to beat RAW for weekly ratings in the UK.
WWE already helped damage WoS by taking away some of the talent ITV originally had set for deals. |

People who say "Hogan can't work" have seen too little of his 84-86 run before he became obnoxious and his matches became repetitive. He was having these 9-12 minute sprints where it was balls to the wall pure action. His MSG matches with Muraco in 1985 for example. |

I think Killer Khan is one of the worst performers I've seen. Vince's obsession with using him weekly was so laborious for me to watch. Funny though how that type of gimmick has been in his wheelhouse for so long.

Watching a April 1985 Prime Time Wrestling episode.
Currently watching Jim the Anvil Neidhart vs S.D Jones. Neidhart was with Jimmy Hart at the time, but Bret was still a face. Just watched Barry O beat Rene Goulet in a real barn burner. Mean Gene Okerlund compared the smell of Rene Goulet 's glove to a Gas Chamber. Feature match at least is Greg Valentine vs Tito Santana. |

Lol that was a rough match, Neidhart wins.
Jack Reynolds and Jesse Ventura are your Prime Time hosts. Ventura just called King Kong Bundy the Burt Reynolds of the WWF. Now we get King Kong Bundy vs Jose Luis Rivera. All Prime Time was for years was undercard House Show footage with a semi main event as their feature match. King Kong Bundy managed by Jimmy Hart and wearing a cape! This was the beginning of the year long build up of King Kong Bundy to Wrestlemania 2 |

Haha here we go! George Wells and Brett Hart (Spelled with two 'Ts") vs Shiek and Volkoff. Bret got literally no response. Like the volume of the crowd didn't change.

Mr Volkoff asks that you all rise and respect his singing of the Soviet National anthem. Mean Gene is aghast.
Hart and Wells are such a jobber team that Volkoff sings the entire song uninterrupted |

Hart and Wells got squashed! Bret had like 20 seconds of offence.

Jesus, that was awful.
Ricky Steamboat vs Terry Gibbs next. These matches are all from the same MSG House Show. I would have asked for a refund. |

This week's SmackDown in contention for worst ever main event in WWE history.
Baring any changes, its set to be Brie Bella vs Maryse.

Perhaps now we will get 2 more suicide dives with the 2nd attempt ending up with the move being banned.
