Slik I don't know how you made it through more than 5 minutes of that podcast but they do have some good scoops. I'm glad you can be sacrifice for us all. I hope so badly this is true, there is no way WWE can lock him into a 1 year no compete, fucking assholes.

I am originally from Knoxville which would be a great host city. Neyland Stadium seats over 100,000 and is beautiful. Thompson Bowling can seat over 20,000 for NXT, Raw and Smackdown. Knox County Civic Coliseum (my first wrestling card) seats up to 6,000 and is a wonderful place to watch wrestling would be great for HOF or ROH/NJPW. GREAT food, and it would be huge for the economy there.

Nah, I'm not from Tennessee. I just think the aesthetic and the wrestling history would add a cool vibe to the show. They probably won't do anything with the history themselves.

I would be so fucking stoked if Bryan and Ziggler left the WWE and signed Sinclair/New Japan contracts. Between the two entities, there's no reason they can't give these guys options comparable to WWE. And there's also the artistic catharsis.

Mendoza's sons all used the Villano name, and he was Villano III because he followed his two older brothers into pro wrestling in 1970.

Arturo was considered the best wrestler in the family and the second biggest star, behind his father ...

He was actually best known for his run as WWF Light Heavyweight Champion, a title that was never defended in the WWF, but was a major title within the UWA as well as New Japan Pro Wrestling.

His mask match loss to Atlantis on March 17, 2000, is generally considered one of the greatest matches in Lucha Libre history ...

Prior to the loss to Atlantis, he had retained his mask in at least 58 consecutive matches, which has to be among the most wins of that type in Lucha Libre history.

Rush & Cavernario vs. Volador Jr. & Matt Taven in some form of hair match was teased in challenges on Friday. They did a brawl on Friday with Volador and Rush, with Volador wanting a match. Rush asked the crowd if they wanted him to face Volador or L.A. Park, figuring the brawl would make them say Volador and that would be the way out of it. Except, the live crowd wanted Park.

The following night, Michaels cut a promo on Hogan that upset Hogan and the idea of the two having a series of matches was off. The actual build to the show was executed very well following a heel turn by Michaels in early July by superkicking Hogan and setting up the first-time meeting. Michaels did some of the best work of his career that summer as a heel, including a segment where he portrayed Hogan during a spoof of the Larry King Live show. The pay-per-view drew a reported 640,000 pay-per-view buys.

It was a strong night overall for cable TV viewership as, despite the big jump from last week, the show failed to crack the top 10 in overall viewership, finishing at number 11. SmackDown did top the 18-49 demo, as it usually does, with a 0.77 rating. Miz and Mrs., which follows SmackDown on the USA Network, did 1.235 million viewers overall and posted a 0.50 rating in the 18-49 demo, tied for third place.

SmackDown was down nine percent from last year's post-SummerSlam episode, the 10th straight week the show has had a year-over-year decline.

Although Naito and BUSHI have made appearances for CMLL in the past, this would mark their first time they are coming in as a group. It would be EVIL’s first time appearing for the company.

In addition to the LIJ announcement, CMLL also announced that The Briscoes and David Finlay will compete in their CMLL Gran Prix tournament on October 5. Four more foreign wrestlers will later be announced on their talk show, Informa.

While everything is still up in the air, the odds of MLW running another Walemania event over Wrestlemania weekend (which was the plan for next year in New York City) are not looking good at the moment.

Lawler noted that in his final conversation with Brian, which was recorded by the jail, and that Brian had about how bad the conditions in the jail were and that none of the things that had been stated would happen in a previous meeting had not. That was 10 AM in the morning. The call was only allowed to last 15 minutes and they were cut off.

Several hours later, Lawler's fiancee received a call around 2 PM advising them that Brian had gotten into a fight with another inmate and had been "acting a fool" but everything was fine and he had been stitched up due to a cut over his eye. They later learned from witnesses that that account they were told wasn't what really happened.

Later that evening, Lawler was called by a Deputy Sheriff and told, "Mister Lawler, I'm sorry, but your son Brian has hung himself in the jail." Lawler said that based on everyone they've heard from and spoken to, none of it adds up and they still haven't received any answers and "it just doesn't jibe."

In regard to a rumor that has been making the rounds, there was no version of this week's Raw script that featured any appearances by Brock Lesnar. He was never, actually scheduled for Raw (despite the fact that the company advertised him all the way to the night before the show) and flew home Sunday right after the PPV on a private plane.

One story that has floated online is that the Triple H promo on Raw replaced a Paul Heyman/Brock Lesnar promo, but based on WWE Creative sources, that was never the case. As one source told us, if they needed a Brock-related promo inside the ring, they could have simply had Paul Heyman (who was indeed at Raw) cut the promo in front of the live crowd. Instead, they taped the Heyman-Kurt Angle vignette.

The only major change to the Raw script that we have heard of was Dolph Ziggler wrestling Dean Ambrose when the original idea was for Drew McIntyre to face Ambrose. Beyond that, the script remained the same most of the day and the HHH promo was always in there, designed to be a "local promo" to push the Super Show-Down Australia event.

"It was a lot of what [Triple H] started to do at NXT, which NXT – for those of you who don't know – started off as our develpmental show, and is now really evolved into a third global touring brand in and of itself and is one of the most watched programs on the WWE Network," said Stephanie. "But my husband started to recruit elite athletes, men and women, and he started training the women same as the men and giving them the same opportunities, because – like anything else – repetitions is how you are gonna get better.

"So at our live events that we do, our local live events, which is where, non-televised, our talent often learn the skills. That's where they hone the craft, the live audience gives a reaction, and that's how you learn what's working, what's not working, and worse, what they don't care about... so he started giving them those opportunities, and them our audience responded in kind. Because these women were so awesome, and they started chanting, 'this is wrestling' and 'women's wrestling'."

*Kerry Von Erich challenges Harley Race for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship.
*David and Kevin Von Erich challenge Hercules Ayala & Ali Mustafa for the World-Class Wrestling Association Tag Team Championship.
*Battle Royal.

Missing from the card is an undercard match featuring Bruiser Brody defeating Chan Chung.

The event was acquired by WWE from Kevin Von Erich as part of the World Class video library. It would be, to date, the oldest material featured from that territory on the WWE Network.

WWN has announced the cards for their next weekend of EVOLVE shows on September 7th in Joppa, Maryland and September 8th in Queens, New York. Below are the cards for each night:
*EVOLVE 112: Joey Janela vs. Austin Theory for the WWN title, Chris Dickinson vs. AR Fox, Josh Briggs vs. Jon Davis, Jaka vs. Trey Miguel
*EVOLVE 113: Shane Strickland vs. Tracy Williams for the EVOLVE title, Chris Dickinson & Jaka vs. The Skulk for the tag titles, AR Fox vs. Austin Theory, Joey Janela vs. Trey Miguel in a non-title match, Darby Allin vs. Josh Briggs

While not yet announced, with the 5 p.m. Pacific (8 p.m. Eastern) start time, the NJPW Long Beach show, like the previous New Japan shows in California, will air live on AXS. We’ve been told that is scheduled right now but no official announcement has been made.

Week four of World of Sport on ITV did 545,000 viewers, which was up from last week, but still bad. It had a new lead-in as instead of the game show “The Chase,” they put in the movie “Scorpion King” starring Dwayne Johnson. ITV rarely runs Saturday afternoon movies but it appears they were using a Johnson movie to help the lead-in. Scorpion King from 3:15 to 5 p.m. did 609,000 viewers.

On his podcast this week, Jim Ross said that he thinks Josh Barnett will be unavailable for NJPW’s Fighting Spirit Unleashed show in Long Beach, California on September 30. Ross said one of Barnett’s fighters has a fight in Japan against Bob Sapp for Rizin and he’s not sure if Barnett will be back in time to call the show with him on AXS. Ross said it’s still being worked on, but they have a pretty good plan in place.

Michael Elgin, The Briscoes, Flip Gordon, David Finlay, Dark Magic, Okumura, and El Mesias will be the international team for CMLL’s Gran Prix on October 5.

PROGRESS announced that Jimmy Havoc and Will Ospreay will face off in a two-out-of-three falls, no DQ match at their show at the Electric Ballroom in Camden on Monday. Paul Robinson will be the referee. If Havoc wins, he advances to the main event of PROGRESS’ show at SSE Wembley on September 30. Tyler Bate vs. Mark Haskins is also set for Monday’s show, with the winner getting a spot in the Wembley Arena main event for WALTER's PROGRESS Championship.

But two different promoters in recent weeks when asking me about them said essentially that when it comes to going to WWE, that the American wrestlers are professional about it and work with them as best they can to make things right and tip them off, but that this is more mysterious. It is not clear they are going for sure, but once they became evasive on date and questions, the belief is it must be the case because if they were going to New Japan, and really New Japan is overloaded with talent at this point so that wouldn’t be likely, they’d have plenty of dates to work around the schedule. Impact and Lucha Underground don’t run full enough schedules to where they wouldn’t take any dates. Then they both worked in Mexico on 8/19 and we’re told Penta wasn’t outwardly showing signs of any back injury. Granted, things heal and all that. But the nature of missing the shows here combined with everything has people very skeptical right now. The question also regards Lucha Underground, as they would be under contract there until six months after the conclusion of the current television season

The story behind it is sketchy, because Park (Adolfo Tapia) came to Arena Mexico on 5/25, immediately started up a feud with Rush that had been hot in several independent matches around Mexico in recent years ...

Still, Park and Rush continually challenged each other to a hair vs. mask match whenever Park worked at Arena Mexico, which were five shows since late May, including a double count out in a heated singles match on 6/22.

The first sign was when Anniversary tickets went on sale a few weeks ago and they were less expensive than expected. The appearance is that CMLL is not interested in Rush losing his hair, which would be the way out of this match even if the whole thing started with Park being willing. Park has pushed that he is willing to lose the mask, but whether the payday wasn’t good enough, or more likely, his career being revitalized over the last three months at a level none expected made him feel, and correctly so, that the time wasn’t right.

Park is now in great demand all over Mexico, the hottest he has been in years and perhaps drawing the best he has in a long career. Park is scheduled to be one of the key players going forward with MLW, and he needs the mask to be at that level. There is also talk of interest from other U.S. promotions, notably Impact.

"I hope Kevin Owens can claw his way back to where he was. Hopefully, they're booking him to get back to where he was. I'm a big fan of both guys. I'm friends with both guys, but, man, with Braun, Braun is a big guy. And Kevin has been in the picture for a lot of titles, held a lot of titles, and I just thought, 'man, he didn't get s--t in, so, eh, I just wasn't a fan." Austin continued, "yeah, I just didn't think Kevin Owens needed to get steamrolled because he's a top guy. And, obviously, Braun Strowman is still green, but he's a top guy. They're grooming him for bigger and better things, but KO didn't need to get squashed in the process."

Jim Ross and Kevin Kelly will be the broadcast team for the event, with Kelly filling in for Josh Barnett due to Barnett having a scheduling conflict.

“I had a conflicting event with one of my fighters in Japan,” Barnett said, “otherwise I’d be there to call this event and have my partner Jim Ross’ back, as always. I’ll be back next time!”

“While I will miss working with my normal broadcast partner Josh Barnett, I am excited for the opportunity to work again with Kevin Kelly, whom I broadcast with for the first time 20 years ago," Ross said. “Kevin has great knowledge from working on NJPW World, so he’ll bring another perspective to the broadcast and, as we all know, anything can and usually does happen. It should be a heck of a night.”

Cody Rhodes challenging for Juice Robinson's IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship, The Young Bucks defending their IWGP Tag Team titles against Tama Tonga & Tanga Loa, and Will Ospreay vs. Marty Scurll in an IWGP Junior Heavyweight title tournament semifinal match have been announced for Fighting Spirit Unleashed.

KUSHIDA vs. BUSHI is the other semifinal match in the eight-man tournament, with them facing off at Destruction in Kobe on September 23. The finals are scheduled for King of Pro Wrestling on October 8.

NJPW officially announced Kenny Omega, Kota Ibushi, Hiroshi Tanahashi, Kazuchika Okada, Tomohiro Ishii, Tetsuya Naito, EVIL, and SANADA for Fighting Spirit Unleashed in Long Beach, California on September 30. Matches for those wrestlers have yet to be announced. Juice Robinson vs. Cody Rhodes for the IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship, The Young Bucks vs. Tama Tonga & Tanga Loa for the IWGP Tag Team titles, and Will Ospreay vs. Marty Scurll in a semifinal IWGP Junior Heavyweight title tournament match are set for the show.

Tom Lawlor will face Joey Janela at MLW’s War Games event in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on September 6.

Jason Cade vs. Myron Reed has been added to the MLW show 9/6 in Fort Lauderdale.

MLW has announced that they will be holding an event during WrestleMania Week in New York on Thursday, April 4th. The company has announced that the event will feature several elements and will include a television taping for the MLW Fusion program on beIN Sports. In the release, the event was not promoted as “WaleMania”, which was the name of MLW’s annual WrestleMania Week event dating back to 2015. Wale recently appeared on WWE programming when he sat in on commentary for a match on 205 Live last week.

Shimmer provided an update on their streaming service yesterday, noting that it should be up and running within about a week. Shimmer 1-61 will be available in the archive at launch.

Smash Wrestling is also running a unique concept show on October 14th at the Rec Room where all the wrestlers will work for free and admission is free. They will be taking optional donations, with all the money going to the staff members at Smash Wrestling with the company and wrestlers taking nothing.

The Briscoes are also set to face Kazarian & Scorpio Sky in a non-title match at All In (during the Zero Hour broadcast on WGN America) this Saturday.

The court noted that even if they ruled in Jarrett's favor, they would "have no idea" who to send the order to, since there are not attorneys attached to the Anthem side as of 8/27.

Cohen secured deals with arenas and buildings throughout North America, including the booking of the Pontiac Silverdome for WrestleMania 3 in 1987. One of his colleagues said that he extremely well-liked by everyone, including Vince McMahon and was always seen smiling and greeting the guys when they arrived at the buildings. Cohen is one of those guys, much like the late Zane Bresloff, who had such an extreme knowledge of the business end of the company and the ins and outs of the touring side of the business that it would have been highly educational and informative if we had ever written a book or did a lengthy interview about his career. The WWE issued the following statement on his passing:

WWE is saddened to learn of the passing of beloved former WWE Live Events executive Ed Cohen. Cohen was instrumental in helping to transform WWE’s Live Event touring business into the global phenomenon it is today. The company would like to express its sincerest condolences to Mr. Cohen’s family and friends. He will be greatly missed.

Rock vs Roman possibly at WM35:

I heard Rock was maybe going to appear at SDLive 1000 and was negotiating for the Royal Rumble...but I can't see WWE doing Rock vs Roman because it doesn't help anyone. Roman gets booed out of the building if he pins Rock, Roman shouldn't lose to part-timers at WM and The Rock really shouldn't return to lose. A Rock/HHH or Rock/someone like Miz program makes more sense to me.

If that does happen, Reigns ends up tying Hogan's Mania main events in a row record.

He breaks it if you count Bret-Yokozuna and not Hogan-Yokozuna as the real main event match of Mania IX.

Slik I see your point on Roman/Rock however I think that match would be so mega huge for WWE/Roman that they cannot pass it up if they can get it. I can see Roman/Rock having a really fun match and likely Roman would be selling the whole match which would please the Wrestlemania audience. So what if they lose their shit when Roman hits the spear 1...2.....3 WWE already has their money and won't be coming back to NYC for WM for probably 10 years.

True.

And a grumpy crowd reaction has not deterred WWE yet, because as I myself am a perfect example, many will likely attend another WM regardless or continue to watch.

Other than gate potential and additional network buys, Rock v Reigns is a dead end. Like Slik said, Rock shouldn't come back to lose, Reigns shouldn't lose, but winning doesn't really do anything for him either.

If they can draw Rock out for something like a 4 or 5 match run then maybe it'd be beneficial.

From a pure entertainment standpoint I'm all for it tho.

For some reference, PWI puts a lot of weight on the WWE title as the top belt and WWE as the top promotion for the basis of their lists. Lesnar being #4 is entirely due to the length of his Universal reign and the Universal belt being #2 or #3 in overall status.

NJPW announced that All In will be available on-demand for New Japan World subscribers “shortly after the live broadcast.” Further details on when the show will be uploaded haven’t been revealed.

Episode six of “All Us” is largely focused on building to Christopher Daniels vs. Stephen Amell at All In.

Terry Funk told Sports Illustrated that a problem with his abdominal hernia is preventing him from traveling to Starrcast and All In. Funk said about the success of All In: “I think it’s wonderful that Cody is having success, and I was really looking forward to seeing him. Cody and Dusty are similar in so many ways, but they’re different also. I’ve never met anyone like Dusty. He was loved by everyone and everybody. He was a phenomenal in-ring performer who understood the business, and that was passed on to Cody."

FreeSports in the United Kingdom revealed that Revolution Pro Wrestling is going to start airing on the channel in September. RevPro has TV tapings taking place at York Hall in London on September 5 and 6, and they'll air on FreeSports later in the month. 5 Star Wrestling was formerly on FreeSports before the promotion shut down.

Last night's episode was the season one finale of the show. The second season will begin airing some time in 2019 ...

Below is our Miz & Mrs. Season 1 Viewership Tracker with totals:
  • Episode 1: 1.473 million viewers
  • Episode 2: 1.303 million viewers
  • Episode 3: 1.225 million viewers
  • Episode 4: 1.162 million viewers
  • Episode 5: 1.235 million viewers
  • Episode 6: 1.161 million viewers

Some other sheet news includes:
  • Recent episode of the Chasing Glory with Lillian Garcia podcast show had Bobby Roode as the guest. http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/...stling-in-tna/
  • According to Post Wrestling's John Pollock, WWE recently changed their plans for the Becky-Charlotte storyline due to poor reception. Instead of being a typical face-heel feud, both are going to be presented more evenly in terms of motivates and reasons. Same for Becky's heel turn being dropped in favor of being more anti-hero or Austin-like.

Rock/Hogan, Rock/Cena, Rock/Cena II.

Roman is going to get booed out of the building anyway. Reigns loses to part-timers anyway (three times in the past SummerSlam-to-SummerSlam year alone). He also lost to Bobby Lashley.

If Rock comes back, he is headlining the PPV, because nothing will be able to follow it. Why would you put Triple H or The Miz in another WrestleMania main event? Although Triple H would probably be down for it, and I think that was the plan a few years ago. Just let Reigns beat the advertised Mania main event record and never mention the fact that he's lost 2 or 3 of those 5.
