NWA owes Nick ALDIs money. Heard a few rumors about NWA owing wrestlers money but couldn’t get a confirmation on it.

“I don’t want to air dirty laundry, but [Pat Kenney NWA's Director of Talent Relations] showed his true colors with my exit from NWA.

I don’t want to get into it too much, but they owe me money, and it’s probably never gonna come. I felt betrayed by Pat, and I’ll just leave it at that."

Dave Meltzer suggest WWE might have Inflated the SummerSlam 2023 tickets sale numbers: "Nick Khan on Wednesday says they've got 43,000 tickets sold and then they announce 59,000, it's kinda like Nick was telling the truth but now you're still gonna add the 10 [thousand] or whatever the number is."

I really enjoyed SummerSlam with the only exception is that it was way too long. Take 5 mins off each of the Paul/Ricochet, Cody/Brock and Seth/Finn matches. Cut 10 mins off the Women's Championship and the Bloodline match. I would have replaced the MMA match with Becky/Trish, and given the MMA match a major spot on RAW.

What a waste of his talent this is

PWInsider reports Nick Aldis is in Minneapolis ahead of tonight's WWE RAW

Aldis is being brought in for a potential Producer role. He will be at a number of upcoming TV tapings.
 
KAIRI held a press conference this morning where she announced that she will be taking an indefinite hiatus at the end of September.

She cited losing the IWGP Women's Championship as one of the reasons that factored into her decision.

KAIRI was asked about when her last match before her hiatus will be.

She responded by saying that she thinks it will be near the very end of September.

Her hope is that she can wrestle in Stardom again and have a match with someone who grew up in the company.

KAIRI reassures her fans that she will continue to update her blog and social media during her indefinite hiatus.

WWE lying about ticket numbers? THE HELL YOU SAY!!!!
BREAKING: AEW has reportedly & officially broken a WWE Wrestlemania record with All In at Wembley Stadium!

WrestleTix reported that 78,189 have been distributed for the 2023 AEW All In PPV event at Wembley Stadium in London, England. In regards to ticket sales, WrestleTix also noted that there has been strong movement in the past few days since the MJF/Adam Cole match announcement.

While WWE Wrestlemania 3 in 1987 had an announced total of 93,173 fans in attendance, local promoter Zane Bresloff stated that the actual number was around 78,500.
 
He's not even the best wrestler going in his promotion. :shrug: TK has a man crush on him and is pushing him like bloodline RR. It's ridiculous and it will be more ridiculous whenever TK decides to put the big strap on him.

All that said, Bullet Club Gold just gets more entertaining every time they show up on tv!
 
Aussie Open will defend the ROH World Tag Team Championships against Better Than You BayBay on the “All In: Zero Hour” pre-show on August 27th in London.
 
Watching TripleMania PPV the Tai era is over put on a great match and lost a lot of blood. Do not get the tribute of the AAA founders and having urns at ringside
 
Good bye papà H

BREAKING NEWS: In the WWE merger with Endeavor, Triple H will no longer serve on the Board of Directors.
Woah. Vince no likey HHH in power?
He most likely still has creative control...ah, who am I kidding, HE'S SCREWED!!!

He listens to endeavor now Vince has somewhat control but this was going to happen with Vince in power. Backstage morale is very low again. Also a ton of talent is pissed with how much screen time bloodline angles take up. Some of it could be cut by 10-15 mins
 
Vikingo reportedly collapsed backstage after he defended the AAA Mega Championship in a 4 Way match tonight.

He was taken off on a stretcher.
 
QT Marshall pinned Penta to def. Penta El Zero Miedo, Texano Jr & Dralistico and win the AAA Latin American Championship at Triplemania XXXI 😳

Yeah I've really liked the bloodline angle, but most of those segments are way too bloated. Start with RR's entrance :lmao:

To be fair RR's entrance is more entertaining than 75% of the other crap WWE puts out there.
 
So did Jey really quit?

He's on the poster for Fastlane. I'm guessing you keep him off TV until Payback where he comes out of the crowd to cost Jimmy against Roman or Solo. "OH MY GAWD, it's Jay Uso!!! He doesn't even work here anymore!!!"

Sets up a Fatal Four Way with an Uso in every corner at Fastlane, maybe Survivor Series?
 
The irony of Punk proving the point here

PWTorch reports that CM Punk aggressively confronted Ryan Nemeth in the AEW locker room before Nemith was removed from the building and sent home from the latest Collision taping.

Punk allegedly cornered Nemeth, got inches from his face, angrily and aggressively asked if they had a problem or if they needed to settle things outside.

Punk cited to Nemeth that his comments on Twitter where he tweeted "Literally the softest man alive..." after CM Punk's return promo on the debut of Collision.

Punk claims the tweet inflamed existing tensions and that the optics of the tweet sent a bad message.

The feeling backstage amongst wrestlers not in a position of power with a big contract is to lay low when it comes to Punk because you don’t want to be on what is essentially his enemies list.
 
Good lord this guys soft

WOR: Matt Hardy & Christopher Daniels have been removed from going to AEW Collision in recent weeks

Christopher Daniels is in talent relations with the company and still was removed from his Collision booking

Both men have previous relationships with the Young Bucks.
 
She ain’t getting a job anywhere if here attitude is still as **** as it is. If Tully isn’t trying to get her to AEW and WWE refuses her and MLW don’t want her and NJPW/Stardom don’t she’s done. If Konnan won’t sign her that’s a bad thing on her too as he signs anyone with a beating heart these days
I hate to tell ya, but she is getting bookings here and there. She's showing up at mid-level indy shows. While I'm not defending her, there are people who still want to see her wrestle and pay for the opportunity.

1. Punk is a cancer and needs to be removed.
2. Given Punk's MMA career, I seriously doubt he should take anything outside except his nasty hoodie.

If I was running a promotion I wouldn’t book her. Yeah mid level Indy is but that’s nothing. No one will really make a stink about it. If I was promoting a show I’d want my talent and fans to be happy with the show we booked and comfortable with those involved.

More punk drama the fact many of these are coming out not from Meltzer makes you think twice if you defended punk before

Fightful reports an argument took between CM Punk and Jack Perry just before the debut of AEW Collision.

Punk took issue with a spot that Perry planned on performing during an early episode of "Collision," which took place during AEW's tour of Canada. Apparently, Perry wanted to use real glass in a backstage segment, and Punk immediately pushed back against the idea as it was a safety hazard. Punk believed Jack was doing this to get hurt and get out of coming in to work next week.

Tony Schiavone and others reportedly also objected to Perry using the glass.

The exchange led to an argument between Punk and Perry, with Perry reportedly upset about his plans being nixed.

Afterward, the company reportedly initiated guidelines to ensure that no performer used real glass without receiving permission from the office beforehand.

Furthermore, Punk reportedly told Perry that "Collision" doesn't have segments of that ilk and advised him to stay on "AEW Dynamite" if he had a problem with it.

While many people in the locker room described the situation as an argument between the pair, Punk's side claimed that Perry threw a tantrum.
 
If I want to go to mania in Philly I might have to sell a lung on the black market. Maybe I’ll get a group together and go to takeover and the HOF ceremony instead
