Apparently Gillberg suffered a heart attack a couple days ago according to James Ellsworth.

He said:

“I just got off the phone with Duane Gill, also known as Gillberg’s wife. She wanted me to let everybody know what’s going on with Duane. He had a heart attack yesterday, but he is doing okay, he’s doing good, he just got out of ICU, doing very well. So I just wanna say that first and foremost, he is doing fine and he should be okay going foward. Hopefully he’ll be home this weekend and start transitioning to getting back to normal, but his wife just wanted me to get on here and tell everyone what’s going on. So please send your prayers to Gillberg and his family at this time, and hopefully he’ll be home soon and back to his normal fun, goofy self.”

Apparently next season of Dark Side of the Ring won't feature an episode on Chyna due to a dispute between the series producer and Chyna's former manager in regards to alleged rights issues.

Wrestling Inc reports that producer Evan Husney has confirmed that there will not be an episode focused on the late Ninth Wonder of the World after her former manager said that he had been approached about being involved in one.

Anthony Anzaldo told the site initially, “They are putting it on VICE. It’s a Dark Side of The Ring two hour version. They want me so bad because they know the story isn’t told without me. I am not giving them the rights while they claim they still have the rights because I signed a release when I did my sit down.”

In response, Husney issued a statement which read, “There are no plans for an episode about Chyna for the upcoming season of Dark Side of the Ring. At the start of pre-production earlier this year, we became aware of multiple projects that were currently in production about Chyna, and thus, we ultimately decided against pursuing this as a future subject.”

NXT was real good this week, having Owens really added something extra. Great match between Dunne and O'Reilly.

I don't have any video of it, and sorry for the spoiler but it's not like anyone watches Main Event here anyways... but can someone explain to me why Jeff Hardy is facing Ricochet on Main Event? And can anyone explain to me why Elias sang through the entire 8 minute match? And why Ricochet won? Shouldn't this at the very least be on Raw?

Considering the recent rumors of Vince McMahon barely having a clue on what to do for shows these past few weeks, I don't think even him nor WWE knows.

The best part is how Elias just sang one continuous song the entire match and ran outta shit to sing so he just repeatedly sang "hes going down" over and over for the last 4 min of the match

I suggest watching the match if you can find it for the WTF of it all. I dl'd mine from XWT

They probably have some sort of international contract coming up and want to get it renewed for several million.

Making it some liberated “do whatever the fuck you guys want” kind of show could make it a fun grab on the Network.

XL	11-29-2020 08:16 AM

It’s probably more that that segment sounds awful and would drag Raw down.

Jimmy Rave who was an early days ROH standout and also spent a lot of time in TNA has had to abruptly retire at 37. Had to get an emergency amputation of his left arm above the elbow due to an infection.

what don't you like about him? i've always found his enthusiasm to be infectious and his play by play to be good/fun

MAMMA MIA!

He's become a parody of himself.

slik	11-30-2020 12:44 AM

I don't like that Mauro treats everything as a '10'.

When you treat everything like it's special then nothing is special.

Tb1	11-30-2020 01:13 AM

he was really the only WWE commentator I could stomach, everyone else comes off as stock characters that all have the same inflections and verbiage

everyone else just sound so canned to me

slik	11-30-2020 01:39 AM

I really liked Tom Phillips for a while but he's now morphed into that Michael Cole 'robotic and unnatural' form WWE seems to adore.

Really enjoying Tony Schiavone/Excalibur in AEW and I always like when Tazz joins commentary.

Tb1	11-30-2020 01:43 AM

yeah I think my favorite over the past few years was Kevin Kelly and Don Callis, though I do really enjoy AEW's commentary

Ian Riccaboni of ROH is the best commentator today.

Mauro always came off more forced/fake/phony to me.... not saying I like the others, but at least they didn't come off as... dunno... "trying too hard"

Kinda like Joey Styles with his Oh My God.

Remember when Matt Striker was the shit for like 6 months and then everyone disliked him.

yeah it seems like your mileage my vary with him but I always felt like his enthusiasm was genuine. kind of surprised to find he's not overwhelming liked tbh

just seems like a quirky dude who loves wrestling to me
