I just hate everything about yanks and the UK. They pronounce Nottingham, Birmingham etc NottingHAM and BirmingHAM. That last night was annoying as well, and why do they always think we talk posh? Barrett's accent for example. That is NOT a Manchester accent and as a Manc he should know better.

I think I read that Barrett is from Preston?

Well then. He should know even more so

Great time at both tapings.

Highlights:

- Santino/Kozlov/Sheamus skit - Santino is so fantastic on the mic it's a shame (for him) that'll he'll only ever be a comedy character in WWE
- Crowd reaction for Regal
- The amount of Nexus t-shirts in the crowd both nights
- The Bella twins - God they're lovely! (same goes for the underrated Natalya )
- Wade Barrett been pushed as a true star in the making (though I do feel if he does win the belt it is too soon, but that's WWE's style these days)
- More good matches then bad

Low points:

- NXT - my mate had told me that this series is crap, God was he right!
- Neither night been a sell-out (last night's looked pretty bad - full top tier shut + gaps on bottom)

Overall though two superb nights, + big up to Mysterio & Edge for interacting with ringside fans for ages at the end, e.g. signing autographs, posing for photos etc, both guys a credit to the company IMO.

whereabouts were you sat for smackdown roofs, and did you see anyone with a 'toothless aggression' sign?

Was sat Block 115 Lower Tier - to the right of the aisle if you was stood in the ring facing the titontron/aisle (if that makes sense? ). Really good view, in fact in future I'm gonna go for lower tier rather then ground floor. On Monday I was ground floor but you miss quite a bit e.g. with people constantly standing up, waving signs/banners etc, but lower tier it's a perfect view + with no obstructions.

Lol, nah didn't see that. You may have seen me - only guy (from what I saw) wearing a Newcastle United home shirt.

oh i was on the floor in exactly that circumstance over near 105, kept getting shoved out the way as they moved the swing camera round, think i've got on the box on NXT.

Best sign i saw last night,

PURPLE AKI LOVES OTUNGA

A lad I know who's a Warrington fan (think he may post on RLF) said his friend took that sign.

I was at the Student protest in London yesterday, best signs I saw were "Dumbledore wouldn't stand for this s**t" and "Down with this sort of thing"

Ah right, sound. Yeah that camera was a pain, personally was bit worried about getting hit by it.

Didn't see that sign but thought the guy at ringside with the 'Dodgy Dave Otunga' sign was funny (the guy slightly resembled him + was wearing a Nexus tee ). He was also wearing a Big Show bandana which Show acknowledged.

Hey tell you what still amazes me - the way the bootleg guys freely sell their gear outside with coppers standing by, i.e. it used to be an 'out of the way' thing buying a bootleg tee, but at both tapings they were waiting to greet you as you walked down the arena steps. They've sure improved their gear too - the Cena t-shirts were exact copies of the real ones.

Sweet, didn't really hear about it until yesterday. When I got told 'a load of students have travelled down to London' I was expecting 500-1000, not 50,000! Any experiences/stories you can share on here?

Daphne on Frasier is the same. Comes from Manchester and talks posh. She as a Brit should know better. Really annoys me.

Actually she comes from East Grinstead in Sussex. The manc accent is put on.
