    On Shibata and Hiromu


    Virtually nobody was told about this ahead of time aside from those involved in the angle. They were all told that this was a very perilous situation and make sure to stay away from Shibata’s head. Shibata would do his trademark spots and get beaten down, but stay away from his head. This was a one-off situation as Shibata can’t be cleared to wrestle

    Regarding Hiromu Takahashi, the only thing we’ve heard is that he’s almost ready to return and they want to do is right and there’s no rush. It seems it’s more about how Gedo can weave a storyline around his return for impact and having the return coincide with something big

    I'm gonna wait until closer to the day of the show to look for tickets. Weekday nights are iffy schedule-wise, plus I wanna make sure we enjoy their weekly show before committing to seeing it live.

    WWE2K20 is taking a different strategy for DLC and instead of packs of old wrestlers and NXT stars they are making themed original content that will play with existing superstars as well as add new playable story content to Showcase mode.

    The first pack is horror themed:

    No, that's Alisteir Black I think. Balor is 2nd left. You can tell from the lack of carbs.

    EDIT: WAit, 2nd left might be Orton. If that's Balor it's weird it looks nothing like him. Just looks like the Night King.

    There’s also “Twisted” Nikki Cross, “Survivor” Mandy Rose and two other unannounced people

    The nL streams have in general done 100% of the job of getting me interested in MDickie wrestling games

    Last year's was perfect with the Most Extreme Rumble Ever that basically made their computer run at a snail's pace for almost 2 hours because things wouldn't stop exploding or catching fire

    Instantly Cesaro is out, Elias, Ali, Apollo, Miz, Sami, and probably...Benjamin. No idea on Ricochet and McIntyre but I'll go with Ricochet out.
