This month's PROGRESS roundtable was a poor turn out - with just three nerds making the appointment and James being pretty hungover. Let's get to it!
1. Thoughts on PROGRESS this year so far?
JAMES - I have had a fun time with my mates
PETE - I’m enjoying it, mostly. The Swords of Essex have been great and since Walter kinda killed the Atlas division last year by not putting anyone over, unifying against Trent is a fine enough idea. Plus the Kaiju Big Battel announcement and the SSS16 lineup definitely both look good going into May. Better than last year. Women’s division stuff is still completely uninspired and token, the perennial 2nd on the card slot and absent champ really is a drag.
ROSS - It feels like the cards have finally been dealt and we now have a settled roster again, so therefore a coherent storyboard. Really enjoying it. Plus Dom has insta now, so that makes it more fun.
2. The Aussies v Swords feud has been a lot of fun. Will the TLC blow off be a help or a hindrance?
JAMES - I wish it was just a ladder match. Not sure you need to add the t and c as they're legal anyway.
PETE - Have you seen a Progress TLC match? These people cannot do furniture to save their lives. Although storyline-wise they did a great job setting it up.
ROSS - The thought of Ospreay in a TLC match at the Ballroom has me equally salivating and squirming. As Pete says, the story has been excellent and I am hoping for a feel good win for the Aussies and an insane match where everyone comes out injury free.
3. Have you guys seen the other CCK v LAX matches? I recommend you see the one in USA.
JAMES - I haven't. Never seen LAX. Looking forward to it.
PETE - Nope. Tried to watch the 2nd one but I have a short attention span and ended up doing something else. Jealous you guys get to see the rubber match though! Stupid Pete buying a RevPro ticket, now that’s a promotion having a shit 2019.
ROSS - Yes. The one in America was an absolute banger and everyone needs to seek it out. Hoping they can recreate that magic.
4. How are you feeling about the current SSS16 lineup?
JAMES - Looks a pretty open field. It will be fun.
PETE - It looks awesome, I get people are shitting on it for all the imports but there’s a ton of cool people in there I am excited to see and I really like the heavy Lucha spin this year.
ROSS - It feels very much like a BOLA. Lots of new faces going in ready to impress an audience that knows little about them. Not much story that has been made in the promotion, but the field looks stellar! Bring it on!
5. Who do you think is winning this month at pick'ems?
PETE - Not me, if the last event is a Progress pickem! Not sure, but they don’t deserve it and I will resent them forever. Or until April.
ROSS - Me or Pete if I don't remind people to play... do I heel turn?
6. Do you think Jinny weasles her way into the 4 way match at Ally Pally?
JAMES - Would you rather have a face like an arse or a face like a weasel? Weasel probably .
