Pro Wrestling Topics!

Oh my God! It's the Karl Gotch of wrestling sections, step inside to catch all the latest on everything else from the defunct to Terry Funk, Dusty Rhodes to Rip Rogers, the Nature Boy to the Natural Born Thrillers to the National Treasure. Vince Russo says, bro, this is the place to be, bro.

MJF is amazing, and Jungle Boy & Luchasaurus are a money tag team. Hopefully they can continue to fill out the midcard like that, because it's gonna be pretty thin if they just rely on the Elite, Mox, and Jericho. I assume the last two won't be around quite as consistently as Cody's crew.

I'm not sure I would sign Punk quite yet. There's already anticipation built up for the weekly show. I'd wait 'til that dies down after the show's been on for a bit, and THEN bring in Punk.

Yeah, I can see that. But imagine Jericho wins the belt in the main event. Then Cult of Personality hits and they have a stare down.

Then you advertise that the first Wednesday Night Dynamite is going to start with CM Punk addressing the crowd. That would be a huge ratings pop. Of course, the counter argument is it will probably be a huge ratings pop anyway, so, yeah. Maybe even have Punk show up at the end of the show. I don't know. I just assume at this point they'll find a way to get him on board.

I'm still expecting WWE to do something like the first ever live NXT Wednesday show or something, and that's why I'm wondering why AEW hasn't announced the exact date.

Hey Doc, that's supposedly going to be AEW's weekly show on TNT sometime in the fall because they trademarked the name I guess. It hasn't been officially given a date but there was a rumor of Oct 2 going around based on an easter egg note pad spotted in one of the Being the Elite vids. It's either going to be Tuesday or Wednesday Night Dynamite, because, TNT, get it?

It was on Viceland (ch271 on DirectTV). It's on again at 12 AM ET, but I'm sure they'll be re-airing it after that. Next weeks episode is on the Montreal Screw Job followed by episodes on Bruiser Brody, the Von Erichs, Gino Hernandez, and the Fabulous Moolah.



Just saw on Twitter today that the show was renewed for a second season on Vice! That means they'll probably air the Dino Bravo episode they had almost completed before. I wonder what the other 9 will be about?

I heard some rumblings that A.J. Styles is thinking of retirement. I think his days with WWE is pretty much over.
