Pro Wrestling Updates

I just saw a story that said that A. J. Styles's buddies, Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows, will sign with IMPACT Wrestling on July 18th, when their no complete clause expires. Looks like they will split time between IMPACT and NJPW.

Haven't seen anything about that. However, he has stated that 2020 will be the final year that he will be a full-time wrestler.

This video has got it all.
The rock and roll express slamming Jim Cornette's face in birthday cake.
Bill Watts slapping Cornette after Cornette puts his hands on him.
Watts coming out of retirement, yet again lol.
Watts and Jim Ross traveling to a lake where they find Junk Yard Dog fishing and lifting weights. Watts ask him to come out retirement, JYD refuses and sends him on down the road to ask Stagger Lee who accepts the offer lol.

If you missed last Friday night's episode of Smackdown, FS1 will repeat it tonight at 7 PM Central.

Has Roman Reigns quit the WWE or is it part of an act?

I don't think he's quit. I think he's just staying out of it until the COVID dies down a bit. Last I heard, there were 30+ WWE employees who tested positive for it. Since he did have leukemia at one point, he probably feels safer just staying home with his family.

I thought it could have been his cancer again, but I saw something talking about backstage politics is bad in WWE.

WWE has gotten strange to me. Vince Mc Mahon keeps trying to bring back to 80s corny gimmicks and that will hurt them . If AEW keeps getting stronger...... I am still saddened by Stardoms Hana Kimura suicide. She had a lot of promise to be a top star. She was the main star for Stardom. Cyberbullying I think she wasn't maybe full Japanese or the perfect girl they desire.... It is strange but Asian likes their attractive women to be very light skinned and almost look like little girls, but Hana Kimura was like what Western guys like in Asian girls. Nice bodies,high cheekbones,big eyes. Wish she would have came to USA ......AEW has two classic examples that tiny little Japanese girl Reon I think vs Hakaru Shiyda. Reon is the Asian type and Shiyda is the Western type.

AEW is 'getting stronger'? Last ratings I saw, NXT clobbered them and they set records for some of their lowest ratings ever.

When they are on Wednesday nights, I go back and forth between the two.

Right now everything is bad in WWE.

Roman Reigns told Vince he wouldn't be back until a vaccine was available due to his weakened immune system. Several wrestlers in the same boat.

Smackdown is supposed to come to Fort Worth on July 31st. I'll be interested to see if they make it because of COVID.

I'm referring to the show the week before this week, although NXT won the ratings this week as well.

Have you been watching NXT? It's the only show that I try to catch regularly right now. I might tune into RAW if I remember but I can say I haven't seen an episode of Smackdown in months.

Has anyone here heard of a wrestling promotion called Evolve Wrestling? Well, the WWE purchased them yesterday.

I read that. I know a lot of the current WWE roster came through Evolve. I have to wonder if the promotion will continue in some capacity or if it was just the purchase of the library?
