Jim Cornette will be doing color commentary for the NWA.

Yes, that's a whole thing that happened. Myself and current America's Got Talent finalist Ryan Niemiller put so much work into that project, and then the producer threw it all away and did his own thing. It turned out awful. There was so much potential there, and a lot of great people working on it. It was a huge disappointment for me.

The producer is kind of a "any publicity is good publicity" hack, and refuses to accept he did any wrong. He's since blocked most of us on all social media after refusing to take any criticism as anything other than "being negative."

If the 205 Live talented were to be integrated into the NXT system, the Cruiserweight Championship will be the second WWE branded title in NXT. The first being the WWE United Kingdom Championship.

That'll never cease to be impressive, holding around 300lbs in the air with essentially one arm.

He was a monster at that time. Possibly the most "wasted" talent WWE has ever had

I know there have been rumors of a podcast thing on the WWE Network and I'm down for that. An APA podcast would be great.

I also feel like they should do talk show on there. They do the KO show and stuff like that on a random Raw or Smackdown but that should really be a scheduled show on the network. Also I know they've tried some botch stuff with the Good Brothers but they could have a great podcast or show on the WWE Network. Just so many missed opportunity there.

Two distinct things I would want to hear about:

1. Why does JBL consider Finlay to be the best heel of all time? (The right answer, by the way, is Jim Breaks)
2. The Doom vs Horsemen program where both teams were heels. And, when Reed was out of action three nights, Simmons would team with Sting or Lex Luger.

I hate Bradshaw, but there’s no doubt he’s an entertaining talker. Surprised he hasn’t gotten into the podcast game, actually.

JBL was instrumental in the demise of Gable’s original gimmick.

Anyone else in Atlantic City for Bloodsport tonight?

WWE’s refusal to either do something with Luke Harper or just let him leave is absolutely loathsome.

Just wait until he peels the bald cap off and reveals himself as the actual person who attacked Roman.

One of my favorite things about wrestling when it was hot is how many people spell wrestlers’ names wrong on signs. I think it shows you’re over when people who are too stupid or lazy to check how your name is spelt write it down to look cool.

Attended a taping of Championship Wrestling from Arizona that finished with a Peter Avalon/Nick Aldis NWA Championship match. Was v good.

10 Pounds of Gold future spoiler alert:

It looks like this will be done to get Storm out of the way. Aldis wins and then a heel hurts Storm.

So, I was hearing a bit of buzz that Steve Austin has been cleared to take bumps. That’s interesting news. Austin’s always had that artist’s soul, so I can imagine him being worried about keeping up today, or about hurting himself and living quite uncomfortably. That being said, there’s a lot of money on the table and he has his own relationship with NBC Universal now. Would Austin getting back in the ring shock anyone?

Just a matter of time to find how big the pile of Saudi gold has to be

Was he playing as his AEW Librarian character or something else?

Nah, he was "the Producer" which seems like his normal gimmick. Old school with the sequined robe and monogrammed tights. I think I got a picture. Hang on.

Is he good in the ring?

He’ll be on Team Owens (vs Team Shane) at Survivor Series, hit a few stunners, get an elimination or 2, and then get pinned by Shane.

I was going to say that sounded half-way plausible until you got to the joke at the end. Then I realized it may not have been a joke.

Ken Doane is only 33 years old.

Austin was always going to have at least one more match. I could honestly see him facing Shane at WM with Shane going over. Passes the evil authority moniker of Vince on to Shane in a way.

Fuck You

The people behind this guy though.

If GCW somehow manages to get Batista booked for the next Bloodsport at next year's Mania weekend, that easily should rival Janela's Spring Break 4 for highest selling indies event that weekend. Probably even do better than ROH assuming it keeps spiraling downwards in terms of ticket sales.

Best match of the night easily. Told a really effective underdog vs champion story. I hadn't seen either guy wrestle before this. Both were really smooth in the ring.

Killer Kross’ best chance is introducing Dave to Scarlett.
