It's worth noting that EC3 specifically went out of his way to put over Shane Taylor as being the only person up as early as him to get into the gym in the ROH bubble during their set of tapings.
He spoke highly of the experience in working on ROH Unauthorized, even though he's much more of a serious character. He also ...

SmackDown started off with a fantastic 30 minute blow-off match to end the feud between Sasha and Bayley--complete with a clean finish, and the introduction of a new challenger!
And literally everything else on the show was basically trash.

Rocky Romero and Karl Anderson seem to think the bridge between IMPACT an New Japan will be gapped soon. Anderson told us that personally, he thinks that by Summer of next year some big things will have happened then. Anderson said that he and Gallows are still very close to NJPW higher ups. Also, Gedo asked him to stop sayin...
2020-11-07 23:06:01 +0000 UTC View PostWWE came under heavy fire of for their lack of COVID-19 testing in the initial stages, and we've heard a story related to that coming out of the AEW PPV this weekend. When discussing AEW COVID protocols with several AEW names, several told us that WWE stars visiting All Elite Wrestling for Double or Nothing in May actually cl...
2020-11-07 18:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostAs of the end of October, there were no plans on adding another female member of Retribution. The word among talent is that Mercedes Martinez extended her desire to no longer be a part of the angle and was removed from the group before they all signed new contracts. There were briefly names tossed around from NXT as potential...
2020-11-06 18:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostIt was revealed today that Alex Zayne will be finishing up on the indies soon. Though we can't confirm if he's been signed, WWE sources did confirm to Fightful a couple of weeks ago that there was at least interest in him on their behalf. Zayne also impressed those that we spoke to in NJPW from his appearances on Strong. ...
2020-11-05 20:52:51 +0000 UTC View PostFor those wondering Zicky Dice's contractual status after his messy situation with NWA, it's up at the end of the year. When the shakeup in NWA happened, NWA offered to let anyone go who didn't believe in their vision, and Dice asked for his release. Since he was TV champion, NWA rolled over his deal on September 1 to go thro...

He wants to have the show in front of a live audience whenever the world opens up, and Karl Anderson specified that they already have a main event plann...

2020-11-04 21:36:25 +0000 UTC View PostWe're told that EC3 has finished up with IMPACT Wrestling for the time being, after spending the last few months there. He's now working in Ring of Honor, and will at least be working with them through the end of the year. We're not sure if he has or had a contract with either company. There have also been talks of him creati...

2020-11-04 02:22:05 +0000 UTC View PostAll Elite Wrestling has officially announced the signing of Anthony Bowens and Max Caster via a Tony Khan interview with PWInsider.
Fightful did a feature on Bowens in Spring of 2019, and had learned that WWE had expressed interest in Bowens prior to that....and then just didn't get back to Bowens. Coaches and staff tha...
2020-11-03 21:39:28 +0000 UTC View PostNot much of a shocker here, and seems to be a weekly article at this point, but there was a lot of frustration about NXT's handling of COVID protocols heading into Halloween Havoc. Indi Hartwell was pulled from Halloween Havoc in a planned appearance, and several in NXT that we spoke to were frustrated with how things have be...

2020-11-02 16:00:46 +0000 UTC View PostSome notes from our chat with MJF, he seemed all too happy to move beyond the Cody feud, and even admitted that he wished he would have handled it another way. He spoke extensively about his effort to tape study and learn ways to manipulate crowds from well before he was born, something that he doesn't feel that younger wrest...
2020-11-02 15:43:38 +0000 UTC View PostHave you ever looked at someone and thought maybe they were just misunderstood? That's probably not MJF.
Either way, Maxwell Jacob Friedman's reputation preceded him upon joining All Elite Wrestling last year. He was known as a dastardly, cutthroat competitor, and an even more devious person. Surely, there has to be some g...

Travis Browne has also been getting pro wrestling training in, and actually did some with James Storm as the latter showed off on social media. We've specifically heard that ...
2020-11-01 19:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostImpact Wrestling has their next set of tapings November 17 through the 20th. For those wondering, Kylie Rae did not end up appearing at any of the tapings last weekend. EC3 was also not actually at the tapings as he and Moose had filmed their content for Bound For Glory ahead of time.

He spoke of the positive feedback he got from Chris Jericho after their match, but thinks that he could have a better singles with him now that he's properly adjusted to the style. He was proud...
2020-10-31 17:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostAs noted on the Smackdown post-show on Fightful, Jey Uso was said to have been fine after a scary spot to close the show. He hits an Uso Splash through the announcer's table on Daniel Bryan, but caught his midsection on the edge of the table.
2020-10-31 03:10:26 +0000 UTC View PostIf anyone was doubting the validity of Billy Corgan's claims of Thunder Rosa being under contract, she confirmed it to me personally when I inquired. She also has two fights remaining on her Combate MMA deal, and actually told me in August that she'd spent most of the pandemic training MMA as opposed to wrestling.
