According to the Observer Newsletter, Kairi Sane is leaving WWE soon and heading back to Japan.

She's currently planning on wrestling one more year in Japan and then retiring afterwards.

Also Nia Jax being reckless with Sane ended up screwing up WWE's original plans for both Sane's departure and Asuka's title defense at SummerSlam.

The only thing we know is the person who ended her career was not scheduled to be Jax.

According to PWI, there was another buyer interested in purchasing EVOLVE but got blocked by WWE who had first rights for a deal due to a clause they put in their partnership deal with EVOLVE.

Also EVOLVE's owner Gabe Sapolsky got hired by WWE to join their NXT Creative team as part of the deal to purchase EVOLVE.

People joked for years that when Sapolsky made that initial deal, he was going to bolt for WWE at the very first chance to do so and that ended up happening, albeit for a genuine reason.

Bad News Gertner 07-03-2020 02:51 PM

Raven brought this up a long time ago about Gabe. Raven said Gabe isn't really creative, he just puts together matches.

It’s not really the first chance he gets if people “joked about it for years.”

Emperor Smeat 07-03-2020 11:16 PM

Only reason the joke even ran that long was due to Sapolsky kept fueling the fire with his NXT teases over the years. Even EVOLVE talent were supposed pretty nervous on several occasions because of his antics.

Just so happens when he had an actual chance to jump ship, he did. Only other real time would have been when EVOLVE almost crashed down because of the FloSlam debacle but it would have been such a terrible look for him and Triple H had he bailed at the time due to that debacle being revealed to have been mainly his and WNN's fault.

Drew McIntyre and Conor McGregor are teasing a match on Twitter. Drew's really good at knowing where his bread is buttered and has been doing his absolute best to take the star opportunity he has by the horns. McGregor talks a lot of shit, surely, but he's obviously angling for some sort of pay-day and he knows how to make money in the "combat sports" business.

If Vince McMahon is going to try and get WrestleMania on an NBC or FOX, or he just wants something huge to boost traffic -- he could do FAR worse than McIntyre vs. McGregor at WrestleMania, especially if they dress it up with potential Dana White or Vince McMahon involvement.

Currently watching Game Changer Wrestling's 4th of July Backyard Wrestling 2 show and its only the first match but almost watched someone cripple themselves.

Lets just say doing a shooting star press to the outside from an odd angle and with a tree branch in the way wasn't a bright idea.

Emperor Smeat 07-04-2020 04:23 PM

And now the same guy almost brained himself from a flip to the outside. Went head first into the table.

Match mercifully ended a bit after that spot.

Seems WWE has some big stunts planned for the upcoming Swamp Fight match according to WrestlingInc.

Not sure if their head stunt coordinator was involved in WWE's other cinematic matches since his name wasn't mentioned before but he's confirmed for the production of this match to ensure certain stunts go smoothly and safely.

In terms of who is producing the match, Bray, Jeremy Borash, and Triple H are the main ones in charge.

Since the result of the match also got spoiled, it sort of makes what they have planned afterwards feel a bit odd and/or out of order. Plus potentially run into the same creative problem again with Bray.

drave 07-05-2020 12:17 PM

After the praise of the cinematic matches, I took a view. I dunno, I'm not a fan of it really. MITB seemed like a badly taped B action movie or something.


The NXT Parking Lot Brawl also came off bad. Not a fan of the cinematic stuff.

What's the result?

Since it's non-title I assumed Bray would win and get a title shot at SummerFest as The Fiend...but also that wouldn't make sense bc if he beats Braun as SwampMaster Wyatt then why would he change back to CosBray.

It'll be 20 mins of a "movie" with a few moves and a pin somewhere in the mix.

SPOILER: show
That was the finish spoiled.

Bray wins as Wyatt Family Bray and faces Braun again but this time for the title and as The Fiend.

The third match will be at SummerSlam for the Universal Championship and is scheduled to be The Fiend vs. Strowman in a regular match. The ending of the Swamp fight is what will lead into the final chapter of the story.

Since its a "Three Faces of Foley" homage, wouldn't make sense for The Fiend to show up in the Swamp Match meaning Bray didn't need the Fiend to actually beat Braun.

Also leaves WWE open to running into the same problem with The Fiend and title matches. Either The Fiend wins and runs into the same problem as before as champ or suffers another big loss as the character.

Even Braun has a problem where if he loses, then his title reign was pretty much a big bust in terms of quality. Also would have suffered two back to back PPV losses as champ.

Lol, that is Tony Khan replying to Punk burying AEW. It's Khan trying to take digs at Punk being old news and working with Domino himself and pretending that Punk didn't hurt his feelings.

Punk's probably a bit upset because AEW are such unprofessional twat-waffles that they're doing the same thing they did to Orton to him, and they leaked to Konnan that Punk wanted too much money to come in and work with them. Konnan talked about it on his podcast, apparently. It's information that Konnan should not be privy to, and it was probably Punk pricing himself out, because who wants to work in a company where Glacier (or Sonny Daze...just for you #fan) gets a World Title shot?

I guarantee Orange Cassidy is aware of Minoru Suzuki and would pay the proper respects. It'd be no stiffer than your standard Suzuki affair and Cassidy would likely be game.

Absolutely. Suzuki beat the ever loving piss out of him for a lot of it, Orange will eventually "wake up" and do one of his hope spots where he runs wild and catches his opponent off guard, Suzuki would eventually chop the shit out of him to slow him down and finish him with the Gotch style piledriver.

Just about anyone trained under the CHIKARA Wrestle Factory banner knows how to go in the ring. Besides Quack you have Chris Hero, Cesaro, and Drew Gulak among others working as trainers for them at various stages.

Ibushi and Sabre Jr. not signing WWE deals ended up being the best thing to happen to both guys since they would have been wasted big time in the company. Especially Sabre Jr since his style is very heavy on holds and submissions and something WWE doesn't really care about.

I cannot imagine you really enjoying Chikara. But I will admit I've never watched a full event. But in the clips I've seen it looked like undersized Hardy marks wearing bad lucha outfits.

It's like Kaiju Big Battel to me : so ridiculous that it's entertaining.

Emperor Smeat 07-07-2020 05:35 PM

Kaiju Big Battel is pretty great.

Was surprised when I first learned its not an actual comedic wrestling promotion like DDT and instead its mostly art students and performance artists acting as wrestlers.

This shit is killing Chris Jericho. It'd kill Suzuki's mystique too.

Orange Cassidy's work is the drizzling shits. I watched a brawl with Jericho recently and you can see him telegraph spots, obviously getting himself into position, his punches look shit, his Superman punch looks shit -- he almost looked like he was fighting wind resistance and Jericho had to fling himself backwards to go through a table.

Too many people put emphasis on whether a guy can kip up or do a dive. That shit's fucking boring unless it's got some meat behind it, which Cassidy does not bring.

And I'm sorry, but I'm sick of hearing that I need to "watch more of him." It's his job to hook me. He shouldn't be so fucking shit from the start.

I think in Suzuki's case he just likes helping out smaller promotions regardless of their content. Also, everyone knows he is a legitimate badass for real, so it's a lot easier to seperate the silly stuff he does from the serious work.

Emperor Smeat 07-07-2020 06:40 PM

Yeah he's already done comedy based stuff before like the empty baseball arena match for DDT or anytime he's with Toru Yano in NJPW.

Him never going above NEVER tier for titles in NJPW is a lot more due to him being a freelancer and NJPW being very picky when it comes to that for major titles. Plus he was late into his career when he first joined the company.

PWI had a pretty interesting article recently on JJ Dillon's fallout with Vince in the past and why he's one of the few WWE Hall of Famers that wants nothing to do with the company unless its 4 Horsemen stuff out of respect to the group.

Quote:

A - JJ Dillon worked for a number of years alongside Vince McMahon and Pat Patterson as one of the top executives for the WWF. In his excellent autobiography, Wrestlers Are Like Seagulls, Dillon wrote extensively about working on a one-on-one basis with McMahon and being put in the position to take the heat for McMahon's decisions when it upset the wrestlers working for the company. Dillon noted in the book that he was concerned about being left in the open as a public scapegoat for the company's original drug testing plan since he was the administrator and if they didn't stick to the policy as written, it was on his head. During the same time period, WWE reduced the salary of a number of their office staff and executives to stave off financial problems coming out of the Vince McMahon steroid trial era, which put Dillon, living in CT (which is expensive) behind the eight ball financially. When his family was finally able to sell their home, Dillon tendered his resignation. According to Dillon, McMahon, worried that Dillion was going to crap all over the company publicly (the same week as Shane McMahon's wedding) made an offer to take care of Dillon on the way out. Dillon agreed and said he would sign following a family vacation that weekend. When he returned, the offer had been pulled because he had "allegedly" had discussions with WCW. Dillon claimed in his book, those discussions were nothing more than his family running into Scott Hall's family while at the Magic Kingdom when both were on vacation. He also claimed that McMahon lied about his departure, telling others that JJ had attempted to "extort" from the company. Dillon said that he made a conscious decision at that point to never work for WWF again, and in his appearances on the Horsemen DVD and the Flair Farewell, were done more out of respect for history and wanting WWE to get the story and moment right, than in seeking out a paycheck. Dillon did get inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, but has not done anything else for WWE since that I can recall. I think someone, perhaps AEW, would be smart to pick his brain since he's now retired.

Seems whatever beef AJ Styles had with Paul Heyman backstage wasn't just related to Styles being upset over Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson's departure from WWE.

If there were some bullying going on that upset me enough to leave RAW and go to SmackDown, I would handle it. And whether I got my tail beat or not, I'd still handle it. I'm a grown man. So, I'll just throw that out there.

"When it came to the rumor about Paul Heyman and being upset with him because he didn't take up for Gallows and Anderson before they got released, that's not what it was at all," AJ continued. "It's not even close. I'll give you a snippet of what me, Gallows, and Anderson already know - [Paul Heyman] is a liar. Now you know; I'm sure you've heard that before if you go back to his ECW days, you'll hear that. He's a boldface liar. So, that's my take on that. I will let Gallows and Anderson [add to it]."
