Casey Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 I'm not willing to risk buying a ticket after the card they put on when they came to Nashville earlier this year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least you can decide on buying a last-minute ticket by looking at the Tampa lineup. That's probably what I'd do in that situation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Rey Buccanero, and Caristico in the back of my car, Shocker was in the passenger seat. They wanted some energy drinks so we stopped at a Rite Aid. While there Caristico is looking at electric razors, he finds one that is $80 and brings it to me and says "i have no american money yet" and I respond with "you wear a mask 90% of your life you do not need an $80 shaver" he gives me a sad face and puts it back. The other 2 guys get their snacks (oddly enough no energy drinks) and we are on the way. Sam Adonis calls me and wants to make sure Caristico has his hood on early because there are a bunch of people waiting outside. I repeatedly ask him to put on his mask and Shocker says "don't worry he will know when it's time" How he will know I have no clue as I hadn't even been to this venue prior to the day and I know he hadn't been. We are 2 mins away and I look back and he is still sitting maskless eating Pringles. Finally as we pull on to the street I look over and he magically has the mask on. Like a Mexican David Copperfield. How he knew where we were I will never know as I had no GPS on or way of indicating it to him. In the hustle I dropped them off as they were already late for their VIP signings and Caristico forgot his hoodie in the car. It was a fun time. The hotel didn't have the rooms ready so poor Shocker fell asleep in the lobby on a couch while Bucanerro would look over and smile at me (Shocker had the best English of the 3) When the rooms were ready I had left them to get some sleep and when I came back to get them Shocker called me over to facetime with his wife and daughter. I was touched that he would want me to speak with them after only knowing me for a day. It was a good show, Ultimo Dragon was there as well. I am 6'3 and asked if he had any shirts. He wanted me to have the one he was wearing and kept saying "same size" I was quite taller than him and pretty sure we weren't the same size but I am not going to argue with Ultimo F'n Dragon. 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Oh this morning's/last night WON radio show - Meltzer said he was told that there were more WWE releases coming. He did note that they could have changed their mind since he hasn't heard any further about potential names (outside of mentioning all the folks who publicly asked for their release) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crews I can see but I think Ryder and Hawkins are safe for the time being. Their podcast works in conjunction with WWE to a point and I'm sure the extra exposure to their merch will be worth keeping them around. Plus they're fine as a JTTS team which you would need for new-ish teams like AOP and Viking Raiders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintedbynumbers Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Tony Nese is another guy who I could see leaving. A lot of the 205 guys have an upside that isn't being utilized in WWE. Maybe a year on the indies and maybe a best of Super Jr tournament for a few could raise their stuck and get AEW to show interest. Hell, I saw Tony work AJ Styles in an incredible main event in 2014-2015 and now he is doing 0 for himself or WWE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that it has been a mistake that NJPW hasn't tried running Chicago already. I'm struggling to understand why they've avoided it this far. But, when this recent US expansion was announced, I think New Japan stated that they had touring regions identified (one of which looked like the Midwest/Upper Midwest), but would only tour one region at a time. What small part of me is still an optimist is holding out hope that they just didn't want to deal with the logistics of traveling in the northern US during winter. *crosses fingers for back-to-back Milwaukee and Chicago dates during warmer weather* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Yeah, maybe. Nearly everywhere near Lake Michigan is brutal during the winter time, especially so from late January to March. Not a bad idea to avoid the risk of running a show outside of Chicago or near Milwaukee and run into the 2nd blizzard of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoBaltimore Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Considering Ryan Satin is now a correspondent for WWE Backstage I wonder if they'll bring it up on the show. Would be something to fit with the headlines that they try to put out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not then why in the blazes would he get one at this point in his career? Man, this is going to be one wacky-ass week in wrestling news, ain't it.

John from Cincinnati Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Wasn't there some situation a while back where if you were a good boy for a while then they removed some strikes? Also, love my semi-annual reminder that the Colons are somehow still under contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
