AEW has trademarked "Fight for the Fallen" for wrestling, music, PPV, and merchandising purposes. So that could be another event for the upcoming promotion.
"Botch Club" had a preview clip. I hope for their sake WWE uses them more going forward, because they're not going to be free to work NJPW or AEW until late in the year.
ROH will have an Honor Club event March 31 in Maryland. This is the final live event before G1 Supercard.
The Bella Twins hit two million YouTube subscribers.
AWA's 1987 Christmas event is featured as a WWE Network Hidden Gem. This featured Paul Heyman leading the Midnight Express against Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty.
Impact announced 2018 year-end awards:
- Wrestler of the Year: Sami Callihan (I guess acknowledging Aries would be too awkward?)
- Knockout of the Year: Tessa Blanchard
- Tag Team of the Year: LAX
Brian Cage has missed some bookings due to an undisclosed injury. I hope he's still able to work Homecoming. He's a big part of the show.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I'm actually a little surprised no one's sent in a question about why they aren't being pushed, but I guess they're more discreet than that.
2. We're almost definitely seeing more of the McMahons in the weeks to come because they've historically meant better ratings. We'll see what things look like going into and coming out of WrestleMania. Are Brock, Taker, HHH, Shane, etc. the most important people on TV come March and April? How will the NXT callups in the next six months fare?
3. Possibly, but it's probably better for them to start him in the U.S. Title picture or thereabouts. Once you go for the WWE Title, there's nowhere to go but down.
Nothing to add to 4.
5. It's worth looking at. WWE likes to have a lot of potential markets close together for touring, so some places don't get as much attention as the fans there would like.
More wrestling tomorrow.
