Impact Wrestling will be doing tapings in Las Vegas in November, working with Future Stars of Wrestling. The exact dates haven't been finalized. I hope they draw some good crowds in that market. It's good to see Impact branching out to new locations.
ROH's Honor For All event in Tennessee on July 20 will feature:
- Punishment Martinez vs. Scorpio Sky for the Television Championship
- Sumie Sakai vs. Karen Q in a Proving Ground match
- The Briscoes vs. Young Bucks vs. The Addiction in a non-title triple threat match
- Marty Scurll vs. Matt Taven for the first-time ever
- Shane Taylor vs. Kenny King vs. Jonathan Gresham vs. Chris Sabin in a four-corner survival match.
-- The event will air on Honorclub. I'm curious what the main event/world title players will be doing there.
Mark Haskins and Kip Sabian have been added to ROH's International Cup.
Chavo Guerrero is on Edge and Christian's podcast to discuss GLOW.
WWE advertised their upcoming San Diego Comic-Con panel.
Goldberg talked about his recent past and future in wrestling:
- I love him wanting to beat Owens multiple times. Imagine Nash beating him multiple times in WCW...
- Goldberg only NEEDED three moves to be a star.
- I wish attendees would be respectful for the Hall of Fame, but now it's just another day to sell tickets for. WWE caters to the beachballers now...
- Taker can still be an attraction "playing the hits" a few times a year. Nothing wrong with that if it doesn't derail anyone long-term.
- I wouldn't mind Goldberg vs. Taker and/or Reigns at something like Super Show-Down or GRR.
Hideo Itami and Lana visited Special Olympics teams in Japan.
AJ Styles and Carmella promoted WWE Super Show-Down.
The Miz will take part in a celebrity baseball game the day of Extreme Rules. Hopefully that's promotion for his WWE work.
Elias promoted Raw's Madison Square Garden event. I'd watch Elias vs. Jarrett. That'd be a great WWE sendoff for Double J.
"Something Else to Wrestle With" will cover C.M. Punk on this week's episode. That should be interesting!
Kane discussed continuing to wrestle while running for mayor. If the people of Knox County are OK with him chokeslamming people while in office, I can't say it bothers me.
Samoa Joe promoted Tuesday's Smackdown Live taping.
Smackdown Live will come from Louisiana on September 11.
Raw has a September 15 live event in Texas.
At Raw's July 6 Pennsylvania live event:
- Alicia Fox returned, teaming with Sarah Logan and Liv Morgan in a loss to Bayley, Natalya, and Ember Moon. Interesting combination.
- Bray Wyatt returned, and the Deleters of Worlds retrained their championship in a triple threat against Titus Worldwide and The B-Team.
- Alexa Bliss and Mickie James were both special referees when Ronda Rousey defeated Nia Jax. Interesting....
- The Lucha House Party defeated Brian Kendrick, Jack Gallagher, and Drew Gulak. It's pretty rare to see two cruiserweight matches on one Raw live event loop. Cedric Alexander defeated Buddy Murphy earlier in the night.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. EVOLVE worked with Impact before Sapolsky joined WWE, allowing Drew McIntyre and EC3 to work both companies simultaneously and letting Caleb Konley out of his contract so he could sign there. But that was some time ago, and the two sides haven't done anything together since. I don't see that changing.
2. No, I think WWE will continue to expand their women roster to where they won't need as many returning names.
3. It ended up being a pretty cool moment other than Vince blowing out his quads.
4. Not all journalists/bloggers are equal. Some are willing to grasp onto anything and turn it into "a story," and others are confused as to what's a fact and what's speculation/opinion. Be careful with secondhand news sites.
5. I haven't seen anything with her in quite some time.
6. There hasn't really been any reason to.
More wrestling tomorrow.
