What are you talking about again? US politics?

"TV". It's the easiest way to explain to confused people what WWE "is".

Shall be at a viewing party. This year *should* be great.

Heading to a bar in Manchester to watch this, should be good fun.

My heart couldn't take anything more real than that Ciampa Gargano match at Takeover

The Vince swerves were in full throttle last night especially the last 2hrs. They really need to sort out the length and bloat of these pay per views as it takes away chance of decent matches.

If that was trimmed to four hours all in it would be one of the best manias of all time.

Crowd were dead as usual for the last third.

Rousey debut was some much better than expected. Was worried she'd be too green but she fucking nailed it.

Didn't like the result but Charlotte Flair is an amazing performer.

Looking forward to see the angles on Raw tonight.

@Cosmical I think you'll find it's pronounced "GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY!!!'

I thought it was shockingly bad. Total lack of good stories, emotion and planning. Just bland matches.

Huge win for Rousey coming off the back of those 2 heavy losses in her last fights. And to win with her trademark armbar as well! You couldn't make this stuff up. Going to be really interested to see if she can make a run for the title now.

Wonder if me going to see it in a bar coinciding with thinking it was the best one in years is telling of how best to enjoy wrestling. Which does make sense and something I've never been able to appreciate other than seeing it live in person.

Although I thought the IC match, Asuka flair, rousey hhh and styles nakamura were all genuinely excellent and a decent dollop of "sports entertainment" throughout.

Still haven't watched the Takeover show and have avoided spoilers.

I liked the way she looked really strong at the start. Then something went wrong and it looked like she might lose. But then she she got angry and got really strong again and then won.

The last third was Vince throwing his toys out of the pram and screaming in everyone's ear. I guess Brock has signed an extension now until he ends up in UFC before the end of the year.

If anyone is interested, this Podcast is hilarious - Wrestle Me.

Marc Haynes (knows everything) + Pete Donaldson (knows nothing) watch each WrestleMania from 1. It really is laugh out loud funny with lots of backstories on all the wrestlers (lots of murders, drugs and dog sex!).

Brought back some nostalgia for me (Brutus Barber Beefcake!).

@KRadiation I think each to their own. I don't watch it regular as there's no real big names in it for me (I was fortunate to grow up with the rock, stone cold, angle etc) but when it's on ill stick it on as it's harmless fun and sometimes entertaining. I have friends who love it and actually went not long back.

Dropped a bollock not having the Undertaker coming back as The American Badass, was waiting for the Kid Rock time to kick in with the kids at the start. But it never came. Just boring old Taker. Weak.

The best thing is wanking over the scantily clad divas whilst polishing your 'SJW of the year badge'.
