I'm very amused that Ric has found a way to turn on Sting one final time. Feels right.

Stardom's PPV was at 11:30 am in Korakuen Hall, so over here on the West Coast, it was like 5:30pm. Not much of note except Koguma's return and
SpoilerGiulia retained the NJPW Strong belt over Natsuko Tora in a No DQ match. Not only did Giulia piledrive her through a table, she then used one half and broke it over Tora's head again, punching a hole through the table that took some effort to get off Tora. Tora also chopped off a bunch of Giulia's braids.
The rookies really shined for the night as all their opponents gave them a lot.

I feel like if Austin wasn't just a dude from South Texas, he would have been filling that Kris Kristofferson or Levon Helm role in movies, but that's kinda been played out or filled by actual actors.
You say this when Jason Isbell is in a film up for multiple Oscars.
Also, Austin would be a perfect Wade Garrett for Road House 2024

I suppose I should check out Be Cool someday but whenever I'm contemplating it on a streaming service I end up watching something else
Best to just look for a compilation of his scenes, because the movie is fucking awful.

He was good in Be Cool, right? But not the star. Are those Jumanji movies at least cool for what they are?
He should've been. Elmore Leonard literally wrote the character to be Dwayne.

Wasn't sure where to post this, but according to BC, The DC/Marvel crossovers are going to be reprinted, including all the Amalgam books. I'm stoked to be able to get a copy of New Teen Titans/X-Men, which I've never read.

I really liked the cage itself. It gave lotsa space to let the guys cook.

I won't complain if they belt up Mina.

Mayu isn't going to modratS. She's a longer contract.

A friend of mine is on the cruise. He saw Mojo last night, and heard the code call for Mojo this morning.

Takeshita vs Jericho was nowhere what it should've been. Jericho should absolutely NOT kick out of top rope powerbombs. He should've put Takeshita over clean as a sheet like Takeshita did, taken time off and come back when I'm not afraid he'll break his neck every match.

You need to establish womens' tag teams before you create a women's tag team title. TNA got that. WWE didn't.

Well, in terms of Arsion tour names he recycled, he's already reused Stardom and Starlight (and I guess Startist would've been too on the nose so it was just "Artist"), so I guess that leaves Stargold and Starlet.
... I imagine he'll use new names.

2023 was an L year for Dwayne. His movie bombed, his awful tv show was cancelled, and XFLv3 lost 60 million dollars.

Do you know how much I hate myself right now for knowing who the owner of XPW was?
Like that's messed up. I would not date a man who knew that.
I would not let anyone I know go on a date with a man who knows that.
I should get an out here, since I learned of him by working for a promotion he grabbed talent from.

Dave's report
SpoilerStardom founder and booker Rossy Ogawa was fired today by Bushiroad after being accused of attempting to poach talent to leave the promotion.
The story dates back about nine months when Bushiroad execs started overruling Ogawa to the dismay of both himself and talent and some of the more outlandish booking decisions. Ogawa constantly being overruled on booking and business decisions by Bushiroad Fight President Katsuhiko Harada led to his decision to leave the company. Harada was later replaced by Taro Okada in that position in November. However this continued under Okada and Ogawa had already made plans to leave.
He had been under the impression that he would have autonomy on booking and business when he sold Stardom to Bushiroad in 2009. That included a five year-non compete.
It was known that the affiliation between the two sides was going to end on 2/18 as Ogawa had given notice some time back. At first, today’s show was to be his final show, but then the sides agreed to sever ties on 2/18. However, Bushiroad decided to get ahead of the story two weeks early and made the announcement publicly that he was fired after the talent was told in a meeting following today's show in Osaka.
A lot of the talent is loyal to Ogawa, who founded the company and gave most of the women their career breaks. Expect several departures from the group in March, when most of the contracts expire. The only wrestler under a longer term commitment to Stardom is IWGP Champion Mayu Iwatani, because of the movie on her life coming out.
Bushiroad had known about talent leaving and some were given legal threats in recent weeks. Those who are leaving wouldn't be doing so until their contracts expire. This is part of the story of why Giulia will not be wrestling in Chicago and had said she was taking time off in March, when her contract expires.
Ogawa is not going to WWE.
Okada and Bushiroad Fight merchandise manager Oyama will take over as the bookers for Stardom effective immediately. The two don't have any background as bookers although Okada was part of a pro wrestling club while in college that staged matches.

Does TKO think Rock v Roman will sell Peacock subs, even if it's only for a month? Or do they even care about that now?
It will sell more than Cody would. Cody ain't the guy.

You're also not the COO for one of the defendants.

Levesque is absolutely shitting the bed on questions about this in the scrum. "I just want to focus on the positive things right now."

Considering that the medical team was nowhere to be seen around Page, I think it was more a case of selling and keeping him from breaking up the choke on RVD.
