“The plan would be to have California as a base and run tours in the area in a similar way to how we run things here, with a few shows further afield. For the Japanese talent, there are all sorts of options. Some guys may want to tour there, some may want to spend half the year there. Still others may want to take two years or so and move out there. There are lots of ways around that and I’m open to opinion from the wrestlers.”

“When you ask what it is we can do with new Japan, it is to create an American based subsidiary and run shows there. In addition, it is to produce television in line with our Japanese content that can be sold cheaply to American cable networks. While we currently sell television content to AXS TV, the most popular and visible networks have a high demand for volume of content available cheaply.”

It's on! It's happening! The world is now a system of wrestling territories!


Man, the first big new star to come out of NJPW-I in 3-5 years or so is going to get one hell of a platform.

This Day in WCW History: Vince Russo’s New Blood faction is dealt an unexpected blow when its crown jewel Jeff Jarrett telegraphs a back body drop against Ric Flair and The Nature Boy catches The Chosen One with a small package that earns Flair his 15th World Championship on the May 15, 2000 edition of Monday Nitro.

Funny that as a face, Flair never got hit after doing the flip over the turnbuckle and going off the top rope but as a heel, either got clotheslined or pressed slam off the top ropes. I wonder if there was any instance of him connecting as a heel.

I had that Eddie George jersey..Those Titans OG Jerseys are easily top 5 all time..

Eddie was a beast back in the day. Lived in the neighborhood close by and was always dominating in Pop Warner but was always getting into trouble. Would've looked better in a PSU jersey than FACKEYE jawn for the hometown flavor but I didn't care because I was all and still am for Temple U.
 
Very uneventful show last night.

That Sheamus botch. At least no teeth were...broken.
