Windy Hill

A venue like AAMI Park would be fine imo

We all know that it will happen either
Brissie Convention Centre
Metricon Stadium
Suncorp
Robina

The Americans can’t keep their hands off Brisvegas & the GC :raised_back_of_hand::eggplant::sweat_drops::sweat_drops:

LOL @ Cardiff LOVING Jericho on Collision, and therefore absolutely crapping on Hook and cheering everything the Redwood did (despite all his attempts to urinate them off).

Best contrary crowd EVER.

Also, I saw Pac smile!

As long as ticket prices are decent, I think they will pull a biggish crowd.

London is losing the 2025 version of All In, but gaining Forbidden Door. Venue unknown.

I’d love to see wrestling at Rod Laver.

I think the viewing at Docklands or The G isn’t that great.

It’s been used multiple times by WWE, was going to be used by TNA, was used for the Hogan/Flair show. About 15000 capacity.

Gonna guess that it’s craven cottage

Purely based on ownership?

When is soccer season there? Forbidden Door has been held in the last week of June in all three years.

Started this month. June is the off-season.

Soccer doesn’t start till August. And yeah due to ownership, TK has said he wants to run it there as well

Surprised they’re running Suncorp but good on em for being confident

Feb 15th? Farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrk you, I don’t get back into the country till two days later.

Suncorp is not small; 52,500 seats and 60,000 w/ the ground.

Decent chance of a summer storm…




The wrestling solace is I’m going to tick off Arena Mexico on this trip.

Big spoilers hidden below.

First big pop is for Iishi. STOKELY FARKED UP.

First huge pop is for HAYTER.

The House coming out before it gets dark? Booooo. Still, crowd-pleasing four-way trios ladder banger to kick this off.

Claudio’s work in recent months has been great, and the crowds have gotten behind him.

Well… that’s not the result I expected.

Bloody hell, Storm (c) vs May is the second match?!? And the short version of the lead-in trailer? Boooooooo.

Mother May!

Ha, appreciation for Ogogo, love for Sabian, insanity for HAYTER, gone nuts for Pac… and loathing for Saraya and May.

KAYFABE LIVES! AND SHE IS TIMELESS poster in the front row.

Yes, it got a pop, but I’d have preferred Mina not be shown as (almost certainly) not being involved in this.

Shut up, Nigel… he’s so brilliantly obnoxious.

Luther and Mother May know their roles.

Wembley still popped huge for The Correct Result.

Toilet time now: Jericho/Hook. Though I have no idea what the crowd might do…

Big Bill is still over :slight_smile:

I don’t think Hook knows how dangerous a cricket ball can be…

They did the two things they needed to do to not get Hook booed for winning (Jericho hitting Big Bill, and Tazz getting involved).

Guy with a Bret Hart t-shirt and huge “scissor me daddy” scissors… I’m gonna say he doesn’t want the Bucks to win — like everyone else.

Now that’s a POP: Nigel in the ring for the Casino Battle Royale at #3… OH NIGEL McGUINESS, they sing.

ZSJ says “hold my beer” for entry reactions. Standing HOLY ■■■■ chant when the two face off.

Holy hell the talent in this match… then add RICOCHET. Reminds everyone that no one moves like him.

Orange in two INSANELY smooth reversals with Hangman and later ZSJ.

Nigel getting all of his ■■■■ in (this is his first match since 2011). Still the only person (bar Rey) who has ever made a second-rope rebound move not look horrendous. And even then… just OK.

I do love that the British fans know more than one word in ELEVATED. And I don’t just mean OSPREAY OSPREAY… which remains eternally awesome.

Don’t encourage him, you idiot:

■■■■ CM PUNK chant for the quite safe but real glass spot in Wembley.

And NEEEEEEEEEEEEW pop winner… and it’s not even close. SEEK AND DESTROY!

Thank you, Tony Khan, for paying for THAT song. Who’s cutting those onions?

Birdie is so happy… will she remain so?

[a lot of stress later]

WE’RE NOT ■■■■■■■ WORTHY.

Not their best show ever, but it didn’t drag at all, the crowd was good, and if you watched even only for the main event you would be satisfied.

Post show media scrum, cued to Danielson and Birdie:

More bloody onions!

Hang around after that for Mariah May’s brutal (and short) appearance.

Off to the big softball game in the sky
