I don't care about Divas/Women wrestling etc but then there are no heel factions or team with more than 3 people. SANITY is yet to debut on the main roster and they have every chance of getting flopped on main roster

Alright.

Pretty sure Vince doesn't particularly factions. HHH does though and NXT churns them out. Undisputed Era probably aren't too far from being on the main roster. A year or so.

Adam Cole looks good. I liked his Rumble appearance. Talking about Rumble, whats the deal Greatest Royal Rumble? I mean from where they will get 50 superstars? I hope there are some call-ups from 205 and NXT too

The Raw roster has 41 men.
205 Live has 16
Smackdown 33.

I doubt they'll struggle. No doubt there will be a few random non-roster guys in it, but yeah theres easily enough to fill a 50 man rumble.

I personally think Jeff Jarrett should have been the GM of Smackdown Live. I would like a TNA faction in WWE and its possible with many ex TNA stars on SDL now.

Absolutely not. That'd be dreadful. TNA are such a minor blip on the radar that to give them any sort of weight in WWE would be ludicrous. Only smarks would be able to appreciate them coming from TNA to begin with, and the smarks don't particularly like or support TNA and may also know if a certain superstar left TNA on bad terms or not.

The average fan just wouldn't give a **** too.

NXT invasion is a much better option, you have built in names like William Regal/HHH that can lend a pseudo-credible invasion storyline to the wider WWE, and you also have a brand the casual audience is familiar with.

I've decided I'm going to watch all the chapters of PROGRESS from start to finish. Looking forward to it.
So, I've been slowly working my way through all of this. I finished watching Chapter 36 at about 2am last night.

I'm so invested in this. The aesthetic is everything that I'm about as a person. Culturally, the surrounding image of "Punk Rock Wrestling" is great and really fits. In the ring the product is fantastic. I've been on the record as very anti-deathmatch wrestling but the Havoc stuff in PROGRESS is turning me slowly.

The end of Chapter 36 might be the biggest I've marked for a wrestling match since I was a young teenager. When 'I Hope You Suffer' hit, DIE HAVOC DIE hit the screen I jumped out of my chair and yelled so loud I think I might have woken my roommate haha. I cannot express how much I'm enjoying this product. The rest of these shows I'm gonna pay to watch because they deserve it.

Also, the show at the Star was awesome.

I really do need to start watching PROGRESS at some stage.

Mate gave me his STARDOM log-in. Anything in particular worth looking at?

I've only seen bits and pieces of STARDOM, mostly on /wooo/tube but I've watched the Mayu vs Io feud and I highly recommend that. 3 of the best womens matches I've ever seen.

Match 1: 5.15.2016 Korakuen ? Stardom World
(Story stuff in between 1&2: 11.11.2016 Shinjuku ? Stardom World)
Match 2: 12.22.2016 Korakuen ? Stardom World
Match 3: 6.21.2017 Korakuen ? Stardom World

Other than this I've not really followed much STARDOM story stuff, though I read that Kairi had a 4-star+ rampage through her last year in the company from second half 2016 to mid-2017. I'll get there eventually.
