Do we have enough time and evidence to theorise what happens if Punk and the Bucks don't have that fight? (Though I suspect that means Punk has a fight with someone later....)
Punk's still injured regardless, still has to spend the next half a year out of action recovering.Do we have enough time and evidence to theorise what happens if Punk and the Bucks don't have that fight? (Though I suspect that means Punk has a fight with someone later....)
Wembley last night was my second big non-indie event, the first being the WOS tour at York Hall. Which has me again wondering if WOS could last as a going concern, especially as they already had Ospreay (and Grado!). They have the talent, the hunger, and an ITV contract but you need a completely different editing & better booking in early eps.
This REALLY got away from me
