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.”

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?

Emperor Smeat 11-28-2020 06:31 PM

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.

mike adamle 11-28-2020 07:50 PM

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

Mr. Nerfect 11-29-2020 07:27 AM

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.

Can probably blame Cole for that since he's the one teaching all of WWE's commentators or at least all the lead commentators which is why they all sound the same these days.

Problem with Striker's style is it can get irritating very quickly if he doesn't mesh with the product or the other person in the booth. That's why his brief time in NJPW ended up being really bad while his time in Lucha Underground ended up being great.

In WWE, he was like the proto-Mauro on RAW but without any of the charm mainly because of Cole & Lawler working against him the whole time he was in RAW's booth.

I remember internet fans turning on Striker when he started to bring up historically incorrect facts on commentary.

GD 11-30-2020 05:47 PM

I believe he would've been more palatable if he wore trunks while doing commentary.

Lock Jaw 11-30-2020 11:58 PM

Fav Matt Striker moment. Cena was the ref in Orton/Barrett and if Orton won he was fired, if Barrett won he was free from the Nexus.

Bad News Gertner 12-01-2020 10:00 AM

I think the internet loved Striker at first because they felt he was "one of us"

But do you remember the episode of Seinfeld where Jerry dates "female Jerry" played by Janeane Garafalo. He thinks dating a female version of himself is great at first but ends up dumping her because he finds her annoying.

That's what happened to Striker.

Jordan 12-01-2020 10:59 AM

Striker is unbearable. His Lucha Underground work was atrocious.

Bruce Prichard currently dealing with some online backlash after giving a poor excuse for Vince saying the N word during a WWE show back in 2005.

“I don’t think it holds up well. Probably so [would do it over].

Well I think there was people whose opinions were asked and again, it’s just a different time and a different place where you did different things that were not things that hold up and I go back and I’m into the Alfred Hitchcock hour now, taping it every single night. You sit there and you watch some of the things on television of men just basically slapping the sh*t out of women back and forth as if it was just another day at the office and it’s just time has a way of making things cringeworthy.

Again, different time, different place, different mentality.”

I do like that NXT has matches to determine who has the entry advantage in War Games. Everybody knows the heels will win them because the heels have to have the advantage for the story of War Games to make any sense but it's better than just having the heels magically win the coin toss every single time.

NXT got hit with another coronavirus situation since according to Fightful, at least one top star recently tested positive for it.

If its just this one person, then the chances of another outbreak happening at the Performance Center seems to be low based on stuff mentioned about the person.

Also, this talent was described as a “top star” for the brand.

Per the report, the talent who tested positive is said to not be in large crowds very often, especially when it comes to NXT. Additionally, the status of this talent is not going to impact NXT TakeOver: WarGames scheduled for this weekend.

The WWE developmental brand has recently received criticism, including from sources within the brand, for how NXT schedules COVID-19 tests, training sessions, and overall safety of the roster. This issue is reportedly not as big of a concern for talents on the main roster since they are now tested before each appearance.

Sting never drew outside 1997. Vince probably didn’t want to pay him enough money to be 60 and on the roster, so he’s taking Tony’s money to be a mascot.

Almost everything about that Charlotte vs. Rhea feud was probably the closest to main roster booking mentality NXT has reached ever since the start of their USA Network Era.

Not only was Charlotte a huge bust in terms of being a ratings magnet for the brand, it also knee capped the momentum NXT's women's division had at the time and also severely knee capped the momentum and top star rise Rhea had built up since last year's WarGames event.

Not even Keith Lee's Double Champ reign was as bad of a swing and miss as that feud was for Rhea.

Ripley v Charlotte was prob the best match at this past mania. If they weren't gonna use Charlotte to elevate or make anyone in nxt, then Ripley should've won.

I didn't realize takeovers got moved to Sundays

Emperor Smeat 12-05-2020 07:58 PM

WWE started doing that either late last year or earlier this year.

The idea being WWE wanted to use Saturdays for specials like Starrcade while TakeOvers got elevated to main roster PPV status for Sundays whenever NXT wasn't piggybacking on WWE PPV weekends.

Those WWE Network specials on Saturdays were also meant to piggyback on Sunday TakeOver events prior to the coronavirus pandemic messing up WWE's plans.

GCW's Slime Season show ended up being pretty enjoyable although also might have had the worst production for a GCW show I've ever seen.

Constant audio issues from start to finish with the commentary mics and show audio in general.
