Championship Wrestling from Hollywood debuts on Tampa TV this weekend. United Wrestling Network's tag team and television champions will be in action.
Kevin Nash disclosed COVID-19 diagnoses in his family. I imagine we'll see more such disclosures before the year's out.
- AJ Styles also disclosed having the virus earlier in the year on Twitch.
WWE's Ruthless Aggression series will release on DVD beginning November 10.
"Impact in 60" on September 15 will focus on two-out-of-three-falls matches. Interesting subject choice.
Tony Khan previewed All Out on AEW Unrestricted this week.
All Out's "Tooth and Nail" match will be falls count anywhere inside of Britt Baker's dental office. That will be memorable, though I hope they change things up for Britt afterward. This has gone about as far as it can go.
Jake Roberts spoke to Chris Van Vliet about AEW and more. Very glad to see him doing well.
MLW has signed Kevin Ku.
Nigel McGuinness has returned as an NXT UK commentator. Fitting!
NXT UK's tapings featured some personnel teleworking from the United States.
Tony Khan did a conference call to promote All Out. Here are highlights:
- I'm curious about this FTW pitch. Khan is a planner. I like that.
- I'm curious about this FTW pitch. Khan is a planner. I like that.
- Cinematic matches have really been a thing in 2020.
- Khan is very well connected, which really puts AEW in an advantageous position.
- I admire Khan admitting when he feels he hasn't done his best.
- I also really admire him putting his crew over.
- Cool to see a variety of female talents.
- I'm excited to see what's next.
- He lost me with the MJF praise. I think he has grown, but has still been very overly hyped.
- Oh wow. Four hours of AEW a week between Dynamite, Dark, and the new show. That's brave, but brave is how they got where they are now.
- Very humble guy who gives a lot of credit. I like it.
United Wrestling Network's Primetime Live will be $7.00 a week on FITE, or $23.00 for a month. On traditional PPV, each week will be $11.99. We'll see if that's an effective price point.
Takeover events are set for October 4 and December 6. There will be no Takeover on Survivor Series weekend. Very interesting direction.
Dynamite drew 928,000 viewers Wednesday. That's a solid number, for sure.
Paul Roma is no longer facing a cease and desist order due to the mayor getting involved. The local zoning ordinance listed "wrestling studios" under adult entertainment. This will be amended to avoid confusion. Glad to see that resolved easily.
WWE has trademarked "SHOW UP AND WIN," so expect someone to use that in every promo for the next three months.
NXT drew 183,000 viewers on SyFy Wednesday for a replay of the previous night's episode.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. It also feels like Dreamer's been focusing on Impact.
2. That's a cool idea, though I don't know how many new subscribers it would bring in. The WWE Network could use that kind of vision and direction. Heck, the WWE product could as well.
3. Seemingly the agreement was for one print run.
4. I can only imagine the stories it contained!
5. How it took too long/he's being shoved down their throats, etc.
Nothing to add to 6 or 7.
More wrestling tomorrow.
