    Kinda wish they hadn’t setup this whole dark order angle so I could pretend I didn’t know who was winning that match. I would have loved a clean dark order vs best friends match.

    Oh yeah! Speaking of Shitty and going along with the theme of important show announcements - ISDub is returning to the states on Black Friday! To their US home turf of Connecticut!



    ISDub owns so much and if we were in the New England area this would be an easy buy for us. But my goodness if Mike Rotch has the galaxy brain and legal abilty to get Giant Tiger on this show Dex and I will make the 4 hours drive.

    For a second I thought you meant Evil Uno's alter ego and local hero, Shitty, the wrestler whose gimmick is being bad at wrestling

    • ISW Legend, Shitty
    • Buxx Belmar
    • Team Dirty Shit, the tag team of Buxx Belmar and ISW Legend, Shitty
    • Giant Tiger
    • Beef Wellington (I don't know if Beef Wellington still wrestles BUT HE'S ON THE LIST)

    As a reminder NJPWworld has all the matches any one of their wrestlers has had in Impact on it so there is some great Jay White, Ishii, and Kojima stuff on there. Chris Bey counts from after the NJPW Juniors tournament. I'm still waiting for them to add Music City Mayhem since it's been a month, I might have to just pretend I'm in Japan to watch it sooner so I can finally see Shelley vs. KUSHIDA.

    Everyone been talking about ALL OUT and not even acknowledging the fact that AEW's newest golden boy Konosuke Takeshita is in an explosion deathmatch that also involves Atsushi Onita and Shinya Aoki this weekend.

    It's when they start breaking out the Mega Man weaponry that you know shit is gettin' real.

    Bobby Fish did an interview like, three days ago where he talked about how if Triple H was in charge while he was in WWE he'd go to war for him. Guess he'll get a chance to find out!

    He's been called an icon, the headliner and the main event and also found himself a lightning rod for controversy throughout the 90s! Kefin and Jo learn all about the first part of Shawn Michaels' legendary career.

    Huh, I thought that they were going to do the UE split by having Adam Cole send Fish packing leading to Kyle and him feuding but I guess Fish is just done.
    It’s now been reported on today’s Wrestling Observer Radio that, as of today, Fish’s deal has now expired and he’s done with the company:

    Bryan Alvarez:
    “It looks like Bobby Fish is likely done. His AEW contract expires I believe today.”

    Dave Meltzer:
    “It sounds early because he started in October, but I know you’re right. It’s not ‘probably’ – he’s done. It’s confirmed, he’s done. Whatever the deal was, either he was not offered a renewal or he chose not to be renewed.

    One thing I really liked from the Danielson/Hager match and has happened a few times is AEW using the timekeeper's table for surprise table spots. It's always there, but with the cover over the top of it its just part of the landscape and sometimes they set it up, but I love that what looked like it was going to be Hager driving Danielson back first into the guardrail became a tackle through a table.

    It’s not surprising, releasing Braun was a real head scratcher as the dude was real popular.

    Same as I kind of expect Bray back within the next six months.

    Where's this infusion of cash coming from to bring all these people back? Is it since we're not in a major COVID phase anymore, so the costs are justified?

    They got rid of the guy who was spending tens of millions of dollars on sexual harassment settlements so that probably frees up some cash.

    They've always had the money, I assume they're justifying it to Khan as an investment.

    WWE is extremely profitable, the cost savings of these cuts was always marginal. Any past assertion to the contrary should be regarded as completely disingenuous.

    The interesting thing is that Nick Khan was credited with a lot of the firings but a lot of things have changed since then and he's not one of them.

    was just thinking about how nice it is that kenny is back and how much i missed him, and then i thought... wait a sec... he was champ for basically a year... why didn't I savor that more...?

    and then i remembered... like 70% of his matches involved the good brothers

    what a career choice! but seriously, happy that kenny is back

    That was the real downside to looking at the Impact matches on NJPWworld. Lots of good stuff and a bunch of Good Brothers matches too.

    I like how Kenny comes back with a compression shirt and a shoulder brace and this week it's just the shirt and presumably he's going to keep losing bits of armor until he's fully recovered. Good gimmick.

    Hes going to come out at All Out without the compression shirt and he's going to look really awesome with that sleeveless duster he's been coming out in

    Of course he could also show up with Gallows and Anderson and that will be less cool.

    Aug 19th the day after the G1 Final
    Speaking with the press following his victory in the NJPW G1 Climax 32 tournament, via NJPW’s official website, Okada confirmed that he will be taking some time off because he has received paternity leave in the aftermath of the birth of his son.

    2 weeks to the day later he's in the Main Event of the show today, NJPW almost on par with US maternity leave.

    Assorted notes

    WWE has cooled significantly on Gable Stevenson apparently his training is not going well in the least

    Apparently there was a AEW reality show filmed that featured the wrestling couples in staff but it might not see release woth the way Discovery Warner is going

    Looks like Full Gear will be at the Prudential Center in Newark on Saturday Nov 19th

    KOR just had Neck Fusion so he’s on the shelf for a while
