That was a waste of bloody time wasn't it?

>Every defense so far has been extremely enjoyable
>Bate vs. Dune was the best WWE match of the year so far
>It accomplished it's purpose of sabotaging WoS
>The UK show might still happen at some point
I'd say so far so good, Anon.

Pretty much this
In terms of doing its job of co-opting the British scene and destroying World of Sport, its been a rousing success.
The great matches we've got from it are just a bonus.

>>2865088
This. They've wanted to work in the British wrestling scene for a while, but they rushed it out to compete with World of Sport. Now that WoS fell apart, they can keep taking their time instead of sinking loads of money into it.

Why did they exert the most effort on the design of a belt that's rarely seen on WWE TV?

>>2865641
No they phoned it in for the Universal Title.

>>2865641
>UK Belt
>CW belt
>NXT belts

What do all these have in common?

>>2865641
It has to match the god tier aesthetics of British wrestlers.

It's being defended at an ICW show in a Fatal 4 way

Having seen that belt up close and in person, I must say, it is a beautiful piece of hardware. TV does it no justice, it looks so good IRL. Heavy as fuck too. Don't touch the edges of the straps tho cos that nasty shit Dunne does be putting them in his mouth. Dirty cunt.

That WWE UK Special was a snoozefest.
Maybe they realized no one actually wants to watch a show that's only UK wrestlers.
Should have just made the belt a TV title.

>thinking a UK title meant shit

WORKED

Regal, stop posting on /asp/ and get back to work.

Who's competing?

>>2865948
Haitch has his problems but if you look deep enough, you can see there's that guy who's just a big fucking wrestling dork in there that still gets out sometimes. And I respect that.

>>2866090

Tripler "gets it", he's generally intelligent and has a good mind for the business. His problem has always been his insecurities about his own drawing power.

>>2866235
people love when he does king of the smarks stuff. that al bundy-tier, coming out on a comfy bike with dad metal playing stuff, not so much.

>>2865082
What isn't in wwe?

>>2866081
Wolfgang, BT Gunn, and Trent Seven.

The main point was to destroy World of Sport. The other promotions they want to hurt, they will just sign the top guys, and it usually does it. With English speaking WoS, they were the real danger, since they could not only wrestle, but also "Sports Entertain" (TM).

>>2866510
It's crazy how for as big as they are and how long they've been at the top, WWE is insanely insecure about having any legitimate competition.

>>2866519
It's because they know how lame their product is and how reliant they are on hardcores and how easily a competing product could start stealing said hardcores.

>shit literally nobody except wweaboos has watched

Dunne is being wasted in that shit show. Make him a regular in NXT and build him.

>>2866620
>A championship in WWE
>Defended on WWE Network shows
No shit dumbass, it's like saying only NJPWeebs watch NEVER championship defenses

>bloody
I hate brits

Will Dunne ever defend it on Raw/Smackdown, lads?

>>2866679
they should make the UK championship something of a smackdown title, but not as steadfastly cordoned off as the cruiserweight division, but enough so that we don't just get top carders rolling in challenging for it

>>2866620
>Every Joe off the street needs to have seen something for me to be allowed to think it's good
Maybe stop being such a cuck.

>>2865082
Notice how it only became a thing when ITV rumors started?

Notice how it doesn't mean shit since ITV rumors stopped?

Really makes you think...

>>2866679
>5 Minute match with camera focus on Braun/Corbin attacking someone backstage

>>2868732
njpw snuck up on them, they thought poaching the creator of the bullet club would ice them in terms of western interest. when that didn't work, they poached even further. it didn't work.

when itv/wos started making noise, they didn't take any chances. they didn't want to fight a second front.

Is WoS 100% not happening now then?

Last official thing I saw was that all the tapings had been put on hold indefinitely, but they wanted it to be back for 2018?

I can see that if WWE let it be known that anyone who took part would be blackballed from future WWE opportunities, then it was always a nonstarter.

>>2865082
Am I the only one who hates this gaudy piece of shit?

>>2868874
It's a fucking foot-wide, jewel-encrusted belt buckle awarded to the guy who the scriptwriters has decided is the very best at fake fighting.

If you want something less ludicrous, what the fuck are you doing watching pro wrestling in the first place?
