Alucard

Moxley's return last year was end of August (the Dynamite after All In) where the Death Riders began with the "This is not your company anymore" promo.

I was assuming if they do Blood & Guts, that would end up being the end of the Deathriders. Last year's Dynamite after All In was the beginning of the Deathriders with Mox's this is not your company anymore promo so it's been almost a full year.

Prior to this, Goldberg's last match also ended with him being choked out, by Roman in Saudi, so I figured this one would end similarly. I thought his prior matches with Lashley were both pretty good. Glad he had a good one with Gunther to go out on. Not a bad last handful of matches, at least beating the terrible stretch he had in 2020-2021 where he put over Strowman and McIntyre both in 2 minute matches. With Goldberg being unhappy about how things went though, it does make me wonder how his retirement would've been if he had gone to AEW instead in the past couple years.

I thought they had that going well when they ran the Esports stadium in Arlington TX last summer. Still taped some stuff with AEW shows but also ran two completely separate days of double tapings there and were able to tape tons of matches to air.

I thought Lyra was doing her best mic work yet during this Becky feud. In-ring I've been a big fan since her NXT UK match against Meiko Satomura some years back.

For anyone that missed it, this aired last night on the ROH Youtube channel:

I think 2016 TNA was Lashley's peak and he showed his best charisma during his title runs and feuds with EC3, Eddie Edwards, etc. With the Owen Cup deciding the All In challenger and all the top names wanting in, I'm not seeing Darby as the guy winning to beat Moxley anymore. I'd think it'd be more Ospreay or Hangman.

I believe the HIAC one is specifically/mainly about Foley in 98 HIAC.

That's the date that Josh Alexander becomes a free agent from TNA.

if Keith Lee ever comes back, I would dig him and Swerve reuniting to take down the Hurt Syndicate for the tag titles.

2024 was the NEW Era, 2025 is now the NET. FLIX. ERA!

Crossed my mind too when the boos began, wondering what if he just went full on Hollywood and heeled it up. Put him in the Rumble next year in Saudi

PWinsider & Fightful both report that Royal Rumble 2026 will be in Saudi Arabia next year

Copeland wins the title from Mox, only for Christian to cash in on Copeland, leading to Christian putting over Hook for the title

ZSJ/Ricochet, Shota/Claudio, Finlay/Brody, and Tsuji/Perry are all dependent on the WrestleKingdom results, but on the NJPW site, they do label each one as "Should (whichever champion) win at WrestleKingdom, this will be a title match"

Classic SNME style opening promos from all involved. Really good - but they did not air these on TV.

Looks like it is now. Jericho showed up at tonight's GCW event, attacking Effy & Cardona while wearing an AEW shirt. now I'd expect Effy to show up at Final Battle.

I think they're going to continue to hold off on Hendry's coronation until one of the "bigger" PPVs and could see Mike Santana winning the 4 way, maybe that's when Nemeth turns. Though I'm really liking Steve Maclin in the babyface role. Josh Alexander's contract is up on Feb 15 so I assume he'll definitely end up in NXT.

Juice Robinson is out of the Continental Classic due to injury (fractured fibula), he will be replaced by Komander.

I'm personally enjoying Nemeth as babyface champ and have been hoping that he doesn't end up turning heel. I've always preferred his face runs. I do wanna see JBL get back in the ring just for the hell of it, so all his showing up leads to something. Matt Hardy announced that the Hardys have signed a one year contract with TNA. He says TNA are looking to get on "a bigger platform" next year.

Continental Classic 2024 starts this week. Finals at Worlds End PPV on Dec 28. BLUE LEAGUE Kazuchika Okada Kyle Fletcher Daniel Garcia Mark Briscoe The Beast Mortos Shelton Benjamin GOLD LEAGUE Will Ospreay Juice Robinson Brody King Ricochet Claudio Castagnoli Darby Allin

Surprised to see Mariah take a clean pin to Anna Jay on Battle of the Belts. Sets up a title match in 2 weeks where Mariah will get the win back, but I've been loving the increased Anna Jay push since her return from Stardom excursion.

Chris Kanyon's series of dark matches as Mortis from Aug/Oct 2003. Wish they would've run with this on TV at the time. vs. Austin Aries vs. Truth Martini vs. John Walters & a tag w/ Funaki vs. Jack Bull & Mike Knox
