2020-08-12 18:51:22 +0000 UTC View PostWe're told the scene was "chaotic" two weeks ago following the errant chair throw from Sammy Guevara. Nobody in AEW that we spoke to thought that the spot was intentional, but many thought that it was reckless. We heard that a usually mild-tempered Matt Hardy was heated after the incident and felt lucky that it wasn't worse than it ended up being. There was heat on Guevara afterwards, even though he apologized, as the show was taped and the spot could have been done a number of differen...
2020-08-12 17:30:01 +0000 UTC View PostWe spoke to Cobb about his time in All Elite Wrestling, and says that he felt like things were good there. We asked about the remaining dates that were rumored to have been tied to the agreement, and he said that although he thinks very highly of All Elite Wrestling, he wasn't exactly excited to travel to Florida with how the state has handled the pandemic and the risk associated.

Well, most of RAW was nothing to get excited about; that Asuka vs Bayley match was pretty sweet, and we got to see Shayna absolutely WRECK some chick in a blouse, but then there was RetroBooShun, who sucks at everything, even throwing cinder blocks through a window.
And THEN there was Randy and Ric.
Oh my god, Randy and Ric.
Everything (else) sucks. Let's talk about it.

2020-08-11 18:36:14 +0000 UTC View PostJeff Cobb spoke to us about his recent contract negotiations, but did not specify to us where he'd signed. He admittedly felt like the Belle of the Ball for a while when everyone was making him offers. Speaking of, he stated that WWE did make contact with him during his free agency period, but IMPACT Wrestling did not.
We'll have our full interview out with him this week, in conjunction with his appearance on NJPW Strong

It's a new episode of SOUR GRAPS, where we speed past more great Psycho Sonya content, Cesaro being strong, Selfie Braun being a bad friend to Brainwashed Alexa, a new odd couple tag team being hinted at, DQ finishes that are retaliation for EARLIER DQ FINISHES, and wayyyyyy more Baron Corbin and Sheamus than anyone asked for, so we can get to talking about how Vince views the American protest movement.
Everything sucks. SO BAD. Let's talk about it.

2020-08-09 02:44:33 +0000 UTC View PostThe depth of AEW's tag team division has many fans questioning whether or not the company should institute six-man tag team titles. However, FTR tell me that they don't want that right now, as they'd consider it trying tot run before they could walk. They weren't opposed to it once the division becomes established down the line.
FTR mentioned Chris Jericho as a name they'd love to have in t...
2020-08-08 17:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostIn regards to WWE resuming training for their Performance Center, Fightful has learned some more information.
Wrestlers began to learn things in bits and pieces on July 31, with coaches telling wrestlers they'd be heading to a new facility, which we now know is a warehouse really close to the WWE Performance Center. We're told that some of the coaches were frustrated that the trainees were getting paid in full to not train, and that some of them were opting out of the audience tapings a...

Carlos Toro interviewed Rocky Romero, who noted that their post-Smackdown timeslot on Fridays was not an accident. He mentioned that not only was it after Smackdown for United States viewers, but it's an early timeslot that can capture Japanese viewers as well.

2020-08-07 21:27:35 +0000 UTC View PostWWE sent a talent casting call out for females to several talent agencies in July. We weren't told if the casting call was for extras, wrestlers, or personalities, but WWE has resumed signing talent after the releases. The irony of the casting call was, it ended up getting sent to multiple women who had left WWE in the past few years because they're represented by the agencies. We're told it was likely for the Raw Underground girls that aired on Monday

Even though FTR have signed with AEW, they've told me in a recent interview that they have more that they want to accomplish, and they have pretty clear goals. However, after their negotiation with AEW a few days after their release, they knew it's where they wanted to go.
FTR confrimed that WWE was planning on extending Dax's contract through September because of an old injury. The only way they were able to get out of their contracts immediately was to sign over trademark...

2020-08-06 01:39:52 +0000 UTC View PostWWE is still hoping to do an outdoor venue for Summerslam.
As rumored, WWE is looking at places to possibly run in the New York area, and even on the coast of Florida -- at least according to what officials told talent when they asked. Talent we've spoken to aren't generally being told of the plans or attempts unless they press the matter. As of last week, several in production had heard "no discussion" of the rumors and learned about them online.

He said that originally he was on a per-appearance deal for about his first year in WCW, and only missed a few shows. Paris said that WCW was paying them $500 per show plus accommodations for just doing security and extra spots. Terry Taylor and Shane Helms were integral in bringing them into the company. They weren't given any big plans or pitches for the tag team division, but actually rejected their first contract offers. Paris said that he and S...

In this episode of SOUR GRAPS, we watch as the WWWF dies slowly in a back room at the performance center (aka RAW UNDERGROUND).
We also watch as Vince debuts a new heel faction, which is basically ANTIFA, anarchists who want to burn it all down, except in this case they only brought enough gasoline for one Molotov Cocktail.
Everything sucks. Let's talk about it.
A little bit of a curveball this week. Jimmy Van will be doing this week's Q&A, which will air FRIDAY! This will be Jimmy's quarterly Q&A so get your questions in. Wrestling, business, Fightful!

He also specified that although he was announced for the TNA Retro show, he wasn't physically ready to perform and instead was going to be a special guest referee.

2020-08-04 16:57:44 +0000 UTC View PostFightful has learned that today's Smackdown tapings will feature one episode of Smackdown, and one episode of 205 Live, though there were plans to film more earlier this week. We've also learned that both Danny Burch and Killian Dain were set for the tapings, in conjunction with a storyline with Baron Corbin, though we aren't sure if that is still happening after the delays.
UPDATE: In an update, Dain and Burch were not used in this role. Instead, a pivot was made to Sheamus
