I wonder if they mean AEDT not AEST?

 

[Ry009]

I know it's Booker's company, but it's been good to see talent dabble outside WWE (Shinsuke in NOAH as well)

Add 1 hour for AEDT.

Mace & Mansoor should’ve asked to do Botchamania while they were under contract, they’re actually interesting and funny!

CMLL show from Xmas Day (the early show, not the one with Andrade)

as far as name changes go to keep it close it the previous name, this isn't terrible.

 

[nobbyiscool]

I don't care so much about the name, it doesn't really matter. The video is really good.

I love guys who are committed enough to working hard and making money in the non-WWE route that they'll invest in themselves, and invest in their indy careers. Guys who've done that previously like Moxley and Cardona apparently make more money now than they were in WWE because they committed to the grind.

Elias isn't the kind of guy that you'd expect to go make a big splash on the indies because he's an incredible worker or because he's got this outrageous charisma - but neither was Cardona, and now he's the hottest, best paid person in indy wrestling.

WWE bound then.

Sounds like Maki Itoh also pulled but due to injury?

Looks like Warhorse has repackaged (or evolved) himself, gone from an 80’s style Ultimate Warrior gimmick, to a 90’s style Raven gimmick.

should we start making predictions for his 2000's style gimmick?

yes, they pulled her from the TJPW show over the weekend.
