The Ironman match between Jay Lethal and Jonathan Gresham from this week’s episode of Ring of Honor can be watched for free on FITE TV. This was the best Ring of Honor television match this year and from a presentation standpoint, I felt it was one of the best television matches period this year.

Originally Posted by Observer Ric Flair and Wendy Barlow have committed themselves to one another. TMZ Sports first reported that Flair and longtime fiancee Wendy Barlow had a commitment ceremony on Wednesday at a resort in northern Florida. Video provided showed Flair walking down the aisle in what was said to be a custom suit, then Dolph Ziggler walking Barlow down the aisle. The Undertaker was also said to be there. Although initial reports said it was a wedding, including TMZ who first reported it, Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio last night said it was a commitment ceremony. Ric Flair has been married four times in the past. Megan and David Flair were from his first marriage to Leslie Goodman. Reid and Ashley (Charlotte) were from his second marriage to Elizabeth Harrell. His most recent marriage was with Jacqueline Beems, who filed for divorce in 2012. Barlow and Flair became engaged in 2016. Barlow was also briefly in WCW in the early 1990s as a part of the Flair For the Gold talk show segments as Fifi the maid.

Originally Posted by PWI FOX's CFO John Nallen praised the forthcoming debut of WWE Smackdown during an investor's call today, commenting, "It’s a 50 to 52-week-a-year sport with no repeats. It’s a new novella every week. For us to have that kind of appointment programming, that audience, every week of the year, is a really unique opportunity for us.” Smackdown debuts on FOX in October 2019.

I give FOX about 6 months to a year before they start having buyers remorse. Link to the interview: https://www.thewrap.com/why-21st-cen...mackdown-live/

Originally Posted by PWI Former TNA Champion James Storm, who debuted at last week's MLW taping in an angle designed to kick off a feud with Tom Lawlor is already done here. Yep, already. A source with the promotion said the two sides decided to "part ways." Storm attacked Lawlor during a bout with Joey Janela and later won a quick squash. My guess is none of that footage will ever appear on MLW TV ... There were a number of executives from BeIN Sports (which is headquartered in Florida) and MLW sponsors at the Wargames event last week in Florida. BeIN Sports will be expanding the MLW's presence on their networks going forward ... There was an attempt made to book the former home of WCW in Atlanta, the Center Stage Theater, but we are told that the attempt was dropped at the request of another promotion using the venue. The company is looking at other potential venues in that market. More as we confirm it. During our coverage of the Wargames event last week in Florida, we noted that ACH was working the show with what was believed to be the flu. It was actually some sort of stomach bug that ended up hitting a number of others who work for the company during the same time period. ACH got really sick an hour before his match but still went out and performed, which you have to respect ... The company is also looking to shift as many of its TV tapings and dates, which have traditionally been Thursdays since the company relaunched, to Saturday evenings. No word yet on a WaleMania event over Wrestlemania weekend.

"I've been dancing since I was three years old. Then I was a cheerleader in the NFL and in the NBA with the Lakers. My dad was actually a wrestler back in the day in the early 90's, he dabbled in it a little bit. So just kind of brought everything full circle with my dad's background and my love of and passion for entertainment" ... Carmella has not been a bystander in the women's evolution, as she made history by becoming the first ever Ms. Money in the Bank. She talks about what it's like to currently be on the women's roster during the evolution and everything that has been accomplished so far. "What a time to be a women in the WWE," said Carmella. "We're in the midst of this women's evolution and we actually have our first ever all-women's pay-per-view October 28th, which is huge! It's called WWE Evolution. It's going to be amazing. The first ever all-women's pay-per-view. The women, we're just taking over. [We've had] the first ever Hell in a Cell match. The first ever Money in the Bank ladder match, which I was the first ever Ms. Money in the Bank. So, it's just really cool to see the women just taking over."
