WWE 2K20's designers responded to the heavy criticism the game has faced. It's getting hammered in reviews.

Shorty G discussed his new ring name and more.

Tyson Fury discussed WWE.

Finn Balor spoke to TMZ Sports about attacking Johnny Gargano.

"After The Bell" will feature Seth Rollins, Ric Flair, and Bayley in addition to Triple H.

AEW announced the signing of Olympic boxer Anthony Ogogo, who had an angle with MJF at Southside Wrestling. He sounds like a unique addition to the roster.

NXT's December 5 Florida live event will exclusively feature female talent. That's an interesting direction!

Friday Night Smackdown has added Bayley, Mandy Rose, and Sonya Deville vs. Nikki Cross, Carmella, and Dana Brooke.

"Table for 3" after Raw will feature JBL, Ron Simmons, and Teddy Long.

Becky Lynch called out AEW's women's roster. Social media angles and all the "war" talk are really making wrestling less appealing to me.

Kevin Owens said goodbye to his father-in-law. That's tough.

The Rock N Roll Express appearing on Dynamite is a Young Bucks move. Great to see them hold such a prominent past team in high regard.

Impact has given pay raises to a number of performers due to the AXS move. That's great!

C.M. Punk discussed AEW in an interview about his new movie. I'd also like their WWE references to be fewer and further between, but of course there's an audience that loves that aspect of the company.

Killer Kross and Tyler Bate were unable to make a OTT Wrestling event.

The Best Friends are on the Young Bucks' latest Wrestlers on the Road episode.

MLW's Court Bauer is on Chris Jericho's latest podcast.

Batista was also at Jake Hager's third MMA bout. That's really cool.

At WWE's Supershow in Puerto Rico Saturday night:
- Drew McIntyre worked his first live event since August 18, losing to Ricochet
- Nikki Cross worked her first live event since September 21, teaming with Natalya to defeat Sarah Logan and Tamina. This was also Sarah Logan's first live event since August 18.
- Rey Mysterio worked his first live event since August 25, defeating King Corbin by countout

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. JBL and Blue Meanie come from two very different backgrounds and styles. I think JBL resented someone of Meanie's build and look being booked. JBL saw himself as protecting the seriousness of the business, etc., and felt that he had to prove himself physically to show his spot was justified, etc. Thankfully that mentality is a rarity today.

2. They're not doing much in the DVD area period. Digital outlets are their priority.

3. They might be conscious about whether he does the symbol going forward. I don't know how much they'll do regarding past material, though.

Nothing to add to 4.

5. I believe it was an October 24, 1998 WWF live event at the Greensboro Coliseum.

More wrestling tomorrow.
