Finn Balor has been promoting WWE in the Far East ahead of the company touring there.
Officially added to ROH Best in the World:
- Young Bucks vs. War Machine for the ROH Tag Team Championship
- Bully Ray & The Briscoes vs. Dalton Castle & The Boys for the ROH Six-Man Tag Team Championship
- Hangman Page vs. Frankie Kazarian in a strap match
-- That last one could really be something. Hopefully Dalton gets a good showing, too.
Mark Andrews underwent a CT scan after a match in the UK, showing nothing further than bruising. So, he dodged an injury. I expect the former X-Division name will be important in the U.S. and UK going forward.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Russo's probably more aware of what's real than a lot of his critics since he was actually present when a lot of the issues between himself and Cornette first came about. As we saw on "Table for 3," sometimes Corny works a self-serving narrative that borders on the paranoid.
2. Russo was referring to Cornette's idea of how to book Funk in the WWF in 1998, which Russo saw as an outdated territory idea.
3. Here's Russo's documentation for that.
4. Which one constantly talks about how fake everything in wrestling is and which one wants things to go back to the good ol' days? Russo got a fluke title win and dropped the title the next week because he's not a wrestler. Cornette is willing to actually fight someone with a baseball bat because of pro wrestling. That's some serious markery.
5. Could have been intentional. Who knows.
6. Oh, yeah, and I'm sure Corny does the same thing. Both of them are trying to get audiences.
7. Cornette has actually threatened to kill Vince Russo. Impact had to lawyer up because of it. If anyone should be upset here, it's Russo. As for relevancy, I think Russo and Cornette both make plays to remain in the spotlight with their antics and statements. And it keeps working!
More wrestling tomorrow.
